>Not all spirit entities are benevolent or indifferent toward humanity; some have established an unholy psychic link with the material world. Through this link, these spirits draw energy from human suffering and death. In Voodoo traditions, these creatures are known as the Mayombe, the soul eaters, the cannibal spirits. In the Western Lodges’ cosmology, these Corruptors are the Dark Gods, the demiurges, beings that keep humans imprisoned in the material world to feed on them more easily. Most occultists fear and hate them… yet the power they offer attracts many to their service 

>The Corruptors are at least as old as humankind. Some occultists believe that the oldest and most powerful of them appeared in Africa when the ancestors of humans first developed a language and the capacity to contact the spirit world. Afterward, they followed humans wherever they went. Many remained in Africa, where they corrupted many tribes and kingdoms. The Corruptors do not cause war, slavery or brutality in the world, but these things benefit them, and the powerful spirits often lend their support and power to those who will harm others. Theorists of the “psychic” school (see sidebar, p. 14) believe the Corruptors reflect humankind’s dark side, that they are the creation of our own forbidden lusts, fears and desires, a manifestation of the monster inside us all. Other occultists scoff at this self centered viewpoint; they claim that the Corruptors are older than humankind, perhaps older than life on Earth — primeval, incomprehensible forces alien to both normal spirits and mortals, with unknowable and horrifying goals

>These entities are both spiritual and physical: some Corruptors have material bodies, and are known as In-Betweeners. These are creatures able to walk among humans, but alien and monstrous, the origin of legends about monsters and bogey-men common to all cultures. The greatest of these In-Betweeners are known as Devourers, whose power and malevolence have Lovecraftian proportions

>Evil or ambitious Initiates often make pacts with Corruptors. This invariably results in the human sorcerer becoming a pawn of these beings, and a threat to the rest of humanity. The true Shadow War is the secret conflict waged against the Corruptors and their servants. Everybody is involved, whether he knows it or not.

>These beings are shapeshifters, able to transform into different people or animals, or grotesque combinations of the two. Many feed on human flesh, flavored with fear and pain. Their numbers are slowly increasing, becoming a greater danger with every passing year. Most In-Betweeners serve the Corruptors, either directly as cult or criminal leaders, or indirectly by spreading terror and death in their wakes. A few try to live independent lives or even oppose the machinations of the Mayombe and demiurges, but these are the exception

>The activities of the In-Betweeners vary as much as the creatures themselves. Many hide in dark places and content themselves with taking the occasional victim from among the swelling ranks of humanity. Some lead double lives, hiding their inhumanity; several have become famous politicians, performers, artists, or criminals. It is rumored that many historical figures, from ancient generals to great poets, have been In-Betweeners

>Many Initiates believe that, despite any good intentions, In-Betweeners are doomed to serve the forces of evil. Occultists blame this on the fact that In-Betweeners don’t have a complete soul (see p. 83); some Initiates believe the shapeshifters have no soul at all. Since they are incapable of moving to a higher plane of existence, these creatures are bound by their lusts and base desires, and are eventually dominated by them. Many students of the supernatural disagree, however, and claim that In-Betweeners, despite their incompleteness, have the potential to become a force for good. Some In Betweeners have joined Voodoo hounfors or Lodge circles, giving further credence to this theory
