Heh heh, nice copy! 

What arcane and mystic society put their stamp on that one?

 

Good eye! It looks like "Pride of Haverhill Society". I see online there's a Haverhill, MA. Does that mean anything to you?

I'm not sure the Illuminati sects that study these texts and perform these rituals make their records open to the public :D

Edit: Haverhill Historical Society was the only low lying fruit I hit in a search.  It seems like a weird thing to have been in the archives of a historical society, though...

The story blurbs in that one O.o

I can tell you it's north of Boston, by the Maine / NH border.  I believe Rob Zombie is from that area, just to fuel the hype a bit.  :devil:
