He has a feisty, friendly air about him and, as an orphan in Stratford, CT, he learned to make his own way early in life. He has no living relatives, and no permenant address. You like him, and value his friendship, even though months and sometimes years separate one meeting from the next. You'd be upset and probably crave vengance if anything happened to your friend. The world is better for having Jackson Elias in it.His writings characterize and analyze death cults. His best-known book is Sons of Death, exposing modern day Thugees in India. He speaks several languages fluently and is constantly travelling. He is social, and enjoys an occasional drink. He smokes a pipe. Elias is tough, stable, and punctual, unafraid of brawls or officials. He is mostly self-educated. His well-researched works always seem to reflect personal experience. He is secretive and never discusses a project until he has a final draft in hand.All his books illustrate how cults manipulate the fears of their followers. A skeptic, Elias has never found proof of supernatural powers, magic, or dark gods. Insanity and feelings of inadequacy characterize death cultists, feelings for which they compensate by slaughtering innocents to make themselves feel powerful or chosen. Cults draw the weak-minded, though cult leaders are usually clever and manipulative. When fera of a cult stops, the cult vanishes. Jackson Elias' work to date: Skulls Along the River (1910) - exposes headhunter cult in the Amazon basin. Masters of the Black Arts (1912) - surveys supposed sorcerous cults throughout history. The Way of Terror (1913) - analyzes systemization of fear through cult organization; warmly reviewed by George Sorel. The Smoking Heart (1915) - first half discusses historical Mayan death cults.  Second half instances present-day Central American death cults. Sons of Death (1918) - modern-day Thuggees; Elias infiltrated the cult and described about his experiences. The Black Power (1920) - expands upon The Way of Terror; includes interviews with several anonymous cult leaders. Witch Cults of England (1923) - summarizes covens in nine English counties; interviews practicing English witches. Margaret Murray thought the book "superb".   All of Mr. Elias' books are in print and available from Prospero Press of New York City, U.S.A., and all were edited by owner/editor Jonah Kensington. Kensington is a good friend of Jackson, and knows you well. I am going to say that everyone knows each other and that you had one time were involved together in investigating the Stanford Case, a child abduction/murder a few years back. There were occult overtones in this story so thats why most of you got involved.</blockquote>
