Simultaneously I had pursued a theological interest in the <strong>Cathars</strong> first through reading a number of books about the <strong>Knights Templar</strong> and <strong>Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code</strong> and later an interest in <strong>Monségur</strong> and the <strong>Rennes-le-Château</strong> near where the lost treasure of the Cathars is said to be hidden.</p><p>Around the same time I was starting this work my interest in the paranormal became focused around reincarnation and <strong>lycanthropy</strong> (<strong>werewolves and vampires</strong>). I have always loved old <strong>Hammer Horror</strong> films and particularly the work of <strong>Christopher Lee</strong> and <strong>Peter Cushing</strong>. I have also always been interested in luck and the constant battle between good and evil light and dark and yin and yang; who isn't? I mused that some people have luck so bad that it kills them whereas others seem to lead a charmed life. I decided that my main character must have some kind of rare interaction with luck and the forces of good and evil.</p><p>From there I developed the idea that in fact both <strong>Satan </strong>and <strong>God</strong> might encounter him in <strong>Highgate Cemetery</strong> and he become a <strong>Secret Agent</strong> and later an amateur sleuth.</p><p>Yet another theme is Witchcraft. I have long been interested in the influence of <strong>Gurdjieff and Mdm. Blavatsky</strong> on modern western ideas. I also make frequent references to the<strong>Malleus Maleficarum </strong>the witch-hunter's bible and wicca particularly <strong>Gardnerian wicca</strong>.</p>
