{"quotes":[{"text":"Fruit of the Poisonous Tree, The True Story of Murder in a Small Town, begins on a steamy August night with two teenagers, brother and sister, on an evil mission deep in a rural Michigan forest. For one desperate moment headlights appear on the lonely access road. Will they be found out? Thus the story of one of state’s strangest criminal cases unfolds. Girl breaks up with boyfriend. He turns violent. She disappears without a trace. Then state police investigators set out on what at first looks like a fool’s journey. The story is colored by a bizarre Ouija board death prophesy and the roles of two psychics, a former practicing witch and a handsome young artist who is suspected of Satanism. The canny and elusive suspect taunts police and seems always to be one step ahead of them. When a key witness is daunted by uncharacteristic injuries, a mysterious medium tells him he is the victim of black magic practiced by the suspect’s grandmother. And when, after eight years, the suspect finally is brought to trial, he is represented by a Roman Catholic priest.","author":"Richard W Carson","tags":["black-magic","murder","psychic-powere","small-town"],"id":69093,"author_id":"Richard+W+Carson"},{"text":"I swear the man could seduce the holy mother!","author":"Leigh Ann Edwards","tags":["black-magic","fairies","fantasy","witch"],"id":187923,"author_id":"Leigh+Ann+Edwards"},{"text":"I can make you feel, and I can scare you for real.-Misty Lee.","author":"Misty Lee","tags":["australia","black-magic","female-magician","magic","magic-tricks","magician","the-magicians"],"id":205165,"author_id":"Misty+Lee"},{"text":"Black Magick is the process of self-transformation through an antinomian initiatory structure, Black meaning the hidden wisdom, power of darkness, dreams and staging the reality you wish and Magick being the process to ascend, become immortal in spirit.","author":"Michael W.
