The interest of Cannon for voodoo death can be in part led back to his semi-secret association, the wicht club. Following and extract from Linda Trent's commentary to Ccru's text <i>Flatlines</i>.
<i>Walter Cannon has established that self-fulfilling prophecy is a positive-feedback circuit. In his important essay, ‘Voodoo’ Death, Cannon shows that much sorcerous cursing operates by inducing vicious circles of fear (producing more fear(producing more fear) (etc.))) to the point of destroying the organism. To be told you're going to die is therefore, in certain circumstances, quite literally a sentence of death.</i><br><br>
