The Unthinking Barbarians’ Nine Rules For Life
By Jimmy Lee Shreeve (SnakeStone, 6 May. 2019)
The Unthinking Barbarians’ Nine Rules For Life lays down a code of ethics to live by – one that doesn’t pull any punches.
Become an unthinking barbarian. Live by your own rules and shape your own destiny.
Drawn from experience, the Vikings, bikers, and the Code of the West, these nine rules for life show you how to uphold powerful old school virtues that have been lost in the current Age of Lies.
COURAGE: standing up for yourself, your group, and your convictions.
TRUTH: speak it, live it, fight for it. Honesty with yourself and others.
HONOUR: keep promises, be punctual, stick to your word.
FIDELITY: keep faith with your friends, family, and code of ethics.
DISCIPLINE: will power, physical strength, shutting your mouth when you’ve nothing to say.
HOSPITALITY: helping people out, being chivalrous and sociable.
INDUSTRIOUSNESS: Keeping busy, striving for excellence, getting things done.
SELF-RELIANCE: independence, thinking for yourself, ability to fix stuff.
PERSEVERANCE: Never giving up, determination in the face of danger, trusting to your luck.
The fight is on! The barbarians are returning with a vengeance…

Human Sacrifice – Blood Rites – ritual killing uncovered
By Jimmy Lee Shreeve
Human sacrifice – Blood Rites – ritual killing uncovered by reporter Jimmy Lee Shreeve. Random House 2005. Exposes Ritual Killings Worldwide.
Buy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk
Around the world, humans are being trafficked, kidnapped, sold and enslaved for the specific purpose of sacrifice.
As covered in this gripping true crime expose, mass-scale migration has seen these gruesome techniques exported from the land of the Aztecs and finding their way to the United States, Britain, and many other locations world-wide.
Voodoo priests in London have been linked to ritual killing…
And not long ago, a Palo Mayombe priestess’s New York City apartment yielded its grisly secrets. One New Jersey investigator says that sacrificial rites are not only going on today, but can be traced back ninety years in that state alone.
Jimmy Lee Shreeve takes us on a hard-hitting, true crime journey, following the initial investigations of Scotland Yard into the murder of a five-year-old boy whose torso was found floating in the Thames in 2001, and travelling to Africa to unveil a grim trade of exporting humans for sacrifices and murders.
He uncovers the dark side of Voodoo and Muti magic…
Which has been linked with a score of sacrifices and murders, and in Mexico, finds a devotee of Palo Mayombe responsible for torturing his victims and boiling them in a cauldron.
Along the way, Jimmy brings his own brand of offbeat true crime reporting to the fore, providing startling conclusions to some of the world’s most horrific murders.
Brutal and disturbing, Human Sacrifice takes us into the dark world of twenty-first-century ritual murder.
What authors say…
“The deeds [Shreeve] writes about are not relics of some antique age of superstition and irrationality…These are the ghosts that walk our won streets, in broad daylight, propelled by a hunger they can never completely satisfy.”
~ Peter Levenda, author, Sinister Forces
“Human Sacrifice is an electrifying read detailing the history of mankind’s darkest spiritual obsessions. The author takes us deep inside a secret world to reveal bloodthirsty cults, top secret police investigations, and political intrigue […] A real page turner…but sleep with your light on.”
~ Jonathan Tapsell, author of Porn Again Christian
What true crime readers say…
“This is a great book…”
“I was surprised how much I enjoyed reading it as given the subject matter I wasn’t expecting to. The book deals with some truly gruesome crimes and the descriptions of some of these are very graphic! What makes the book different and interesting for me is that Jimmy Lee Shreeve has a background in Voodoo and, while not excusing or condoning any of the atrocities, he is able to offer a good deal of insight into what the perpetrators of these acts expect to get from them and why they believe they work. This is very different to anything I had read before and this sounds strange as it deals with murder and human sacrifice – it is gripping and very easy to read. This is my first Jimmy Lee Shreeve book but it won’t be my last. I recommend this book to adults everywhere.”
Reader from the UK.
“Compelling reading – but you need a strong stomach…”
“This book contains the stuff of nightmares and certainly requires a strong stomach. I read this book with a mixture of enjoyment and revulsion. Most of the cases of human sacrifice are described very graphically and there are some grim pictures, so the parental warning is definately justified. Jimmy Lee Shreeve covers cases from around the world including here in the UK. In some instances the sacrifices are done out of shear bloody desperation as in some of the killings to the Hindu goddess Kali. Other killings are done out of greed i.e the gangsters and drug dealers who want protection from the law and believe a human sacrifice will give them protection from the gods. And some killings are the result of pure madness as in the German Satanists who hacked to death a good friend to appease their chosen god – then refused to take any blame for it. Shreeve comes up with some interesting thoughts on why people commit such atrocites and also provides some relief from the blood and gore with colourful anecdotes of his own. This is a compelling and horrifying book and not easy to put down once you start to read. I thoroughly recommend it.”

What people say about Doktor Snake’s Voodoo Spellbook
“Everyone should read this book and open up their mind.”
A 12-year old reader from Indiana, USA.

Reader from Uruguay.
“i absolutely adore Doktor Snake’s Voodoo Spellbook!!! It is a bit non-traditional, and may even seem fantasy based. But it is very inspiring, and i will say from personal experience that some of the spell work in this book has worked for ’me’. It is simple to understand, enchanting, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. i read it straight thru…”
Reader from Austin, Texas.
“I just love the stories. There are a few good spells for money luck. That’s what I was interested in myself. I love the section on playing cards also. I love the stories about selling your soul to the devil to play guitar. Super book! Very neat. I totally recommend. I am buying one for all my soul sisters for X-mas. Dr. Snake write another book!!!!!”
Reader from Las Vegas.
“I bought this Doktor Snake’s Voodoo Spellbook a few weeks ago as a skeptic. But after reading it through I had a dream to go to the casino. I went the next day and won $200.00. Boy was I happy.”
Reader from Toronto, Canada.
“Well I liked it. And I am an old Mage… I think it is an important piece of Voodoo culture… Doctor Snake marvelously disguised this book so that children and young sojourners would be only able to pluck from this delightful Tome. However those that are better versed in the old Traditions will garner many more nuances from this synchretic Voodoo and realize that some of the so-called simple aspects of Ritualism are incredibly important to be able to gain the understanding of the many Mysteries and secret understandings within this seemingly entertaining book. This book has many basic foundations that are the building blocks for any Ritual in the Cosmos, from here you can go anywhere…”

Cannibals – true crime – human flesh eaters
By Jimmy Lee Shreeve
Cannibals – true crime – human flesh eaters – real life stories of the horrifying killers who eat their own kind. By Jimmy Lee Shreeve, (John Blake 2008).
The eating of human flesh by a fellow human is utterly repulsive and abhorrent to most of us. Yet the practise of cannibalism was widespread all over the world in prehistoric times.
Chillingly, there are some among us who still do it today. And these cannibals’ depraved thirst for human flesh is so strong they resort to slaughtering others to satisfy it.
East London cannibal…
In 2004, police called at the East London flat of Brian Cherry. On entering they were confronted with a horrifying sight. His brains were simmering on the stove, and his body lay dismembered on the floor in a pool of blood.
Cherry’s friend Peter Bryan had killed him and eaten his brains with butter because the local Kentucky Fried Chicken was closed at the time. “It was definitely finger licking good,” said Bryan laughing.
Cannibal eats penis…
In Germany, in 2001, there was the case of cannibal Armin Meiwes, who advertised on websites for “young, well-built men aged 18-30 to slaughter.” Amazingly, he got a taker: one Bernd-Jurgen Brandes.
Meiwes told investigators that he took Brandes back to his home, where his new friend agreed to have his penis cut off. Meiwes flambeed the organ for the pair of them…
Meiwes said he then killed Brandes with his consent and went on to eat 44 pounds of his flesh.
Cannibals covers many grotesque and stomach-churning cases of contemporary cannibalism, revealing outwardly normal people who have murdered and eaten their own kind.
EXCLUSIVE!!! Cannibals also contains exclusive, never-before-revealed interview footage with a real life cannibal called Eric Soames (who got his human flesh from mortuaries), and his subsequent exorcism by an old friend of Jimmy Lee’s – Canadian shaman Elias Crazywolf.
The terrifying truth is: Cannibals aren’t just found in far-flung islands, they inhabit our cities and suburbs today.
What people say
True crime readers
“A new true crime book called Cannibals by Jimmy Lee Shreeve exposes the extent of cannibalism on the Internet. Human flesh eaters are apparently eyeing people up on social networking sites like MySpace with a view to devouring them. Eric Soames, a self-professed cannibal told Shreeve of cannibal groups circulating on the internet, looking for potential victims.
Soames said he didn’t want to murder anyone, so he found ways of getting human flesh from mortuaries and even cemeteries. He’d take a sharp knife, cut bits off, and take them home and fry them up in a pan. According to Shreeve, some cannibals have no problem taking peoples lives so they can eat their fresh.”

Voodoo Spellbook – Original Edition

Voodoo Spellbook – original edition – by Doktor Snake (St Martin’s Press, 2004). Spells, curses and folk magic for all your needs…
Buy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk
Doktor Snake’s Voodoo Spellbook brought voodoo to the masses. It was first published over ten years ago. Within months of hitting the streets, the book became a cult bestseller.
Back then there was nothing out there that clearly set out voodoo and hoodoo in an accessible and usable way. All you had was dodgy pamphlets, which were poorly produced and which had been endlessly reprinted from the 1930s or academic book. But none told you how to do voodoo.
The Voodoo Spellbook was hip, sassy, and rock and roll. Doktor Snake is rightly proud of the interest in voodoo and hoodoo it generated.
Richly illustrated, Doktor Snake’s Voodoo Spellbook was published by St Martin’s Press in the U.S. and by Connections in the UK.
Original back cover blurb from Doktor Snake’s Voodoo Spellbook
Afro-American magic is one of the world’s largest spiritual systems. Yet it remains shrouded in secrecy and sometimes fear…
In his Voodoo Spellbook, Doktor Snake guides you through this shadowy world, where illusion walks the deadly tightrope with enlightenment.
Voodoo is not a path for the fainthearted. Consequently, Doktor Snake’s Voodoo Spellbook does not shy away from human passions. But treats them honestly and with respect. Voodoo teaches us how to fulfil our desires, mete out revenge and gain personal power.
In Doktor Snake’s gripping personal account, he recalls many anecdotes from his own odyssey through voodoo. From deals made with the Devil to illnesses miraculously cured.
Some tales will send a chill through you, while many others are simply outrageous. Doktor Snake’s Voodoo Spellbook also includes a chapter investigating the legend that 1930s bluesman Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil in exchange for guitar expertise and fame.
Richly illustrated, Doktor Snake’s Voodoo Spellbook is published by St Martin’s Press in the U.S. and by Connections in the U.K.
