Post Reply New Topic

Hey aghogday
thanks for your reply (and thanks to all the others who have replied).

As for numerology, personally i am not big into it. Although i know some still hold great obsessions for numerology and the ancient astrology.

The entire devil worship stuff is really bizarre.
I personally am naturally attracted to light, so i find the antics of all those who are so attracted to the darkness so bizarre.

For me, darkness leads nowhere,
I am more Buddhist in philosophy, so believe that the wealth and power which are sought after by Satanists
are empty or a source of misery as well, as every thing else in this world of illusion.

but the light leads to eternal bliss and peace. Why would anyone want to choose the darkness.
Entry to the bliss is free (just takes lack of attachment)
No magic required.

Smiles, i Agree, Thank You..

The rioters themselves did not choose this date.

January 6 just happens to be the date when, by law, the electoral votes for the U.S. presidency are officially counted.

That's why the Capitol riot occurred on that date. Any significance to the number 6 is purely coincidental.

Are you claiming that Al Qaeda was secretly run by "Satanists"?

Which branch of Satanism? LaVey (Church of Satan), Satanic Temple, theistic, or something else?


Agreed.

Alas the Satanic Ritual Abuse scare conspiracy claims are still very much around....

Wrong assumption here. Please do not assume that Satanists are intrinsically insincere.


Depends how you interpret the mythology.

Re-read the story of Adam and Eve in the book of Genesis and ask yourself: Who is really the liar here? The Serpent (commonly identified with the Devil) or "God"?

From even a mainstream modern perspective, the "God" of the Bible often comes across as a rather abusive character, to say the least. The ancient Ophite Gnostics felt similarly, and (in "Hypostasis of the Archons," and in "The Testimony of Truth" and "The Apocryphon of John") saw the Serpent as a liberator.

Modern Satanists are not, for the most part, Gnostics. However, my point here is that Satanism's basic subversive reinterpretations of Abrahamic mythology are both very old and not unreasonable. Most forms of Satanism, also, do not take the mythology literally but see Satan as a metaphor.


On that Wikipedia page itself I found the following: Why the 27 club is a myth: Jimi Hendrix and Amy Winehouse may be members but that doesn't make it real.

My point here is not to advocate "reductive materialism" either.

My point here is, very specifically, to oppose today's resurgence of the "Satanic Ritual Abuse" scare and its accompanying grand conspiracy ideology, which I regard as an extreme genocidal danger, not just to Satanists, occultists, and Pagans, but to lots and lots of other people as well.

These days, for example, the QAnon crowd is claiming that all Democrats are Satanic pedophiles. It's pretty obvious where such claims would lead, if their proponents have their way.

madbutnotmad posted a link to Geraldo Rivera's infamous show from 1988, Devil Worship: Exposing Satan's Underground.

Below are links to a 10-page debunking, "Fact Check: Exposing Geraldo Riveras Exposing Satans Underground," by Nick Peron:

See also, on the Religious Tolerance website, a page about various Geraldo Rivera shows promoting the Satanic panic back in the late 1980's and early 1990's: Geraldo Rivera: Satanic Ritual Abuse & recovered memories. (Alas that page has lots of annoying ads on it.)

Geraldo Rivera ... PFEH! ... he could not hack it as a real reporter covering real news events, so he spent much of his career either exaggerating the significance of news reports, or making up sensationalized stories of his own.

Do you remember Al Capone's Vault?  What a farce!  As far as his "Satanic Ritual Abuse" lies are concerned...

In the 1980s there was a panic regarding SRA -- the "Satanic Panic", as it is now called -- which was largely triggered by a fictional book called Michelle Remembers (1980), written by Michelle Smith and Lawrence Pazder, M.D.  The book was published as fact but has subsequently been shown to be a hoax by at least three independent investigators.   Pazder was Smith's therapist.  Subsequent to their book, they left their respective spouses and married each other.  Michelle never suffered abuse and Pazder knew this.  Her reports of abuse were "the hysterical ravings of an uncontrolled imagination".  Pazder himself coined the expression "ritual abuse", and he takes credit for contributing greatly to one of the largest witch-hunts in recent history.

No hard evidence of Satanic Ritual Abuse in North America has ever been found, only anecdotal "evidence -- rumors, speculations, and innuendous questions.  Nevertheless, the allegations were widely publicized on radio and television talk shows, especially on Geraldo Rivera's show, and these allegations were accepted by his gullible audience as de facto evidence.

Of the many talk show hosts -- including Phil Donahue, Geraldo Rivera, Oprah Winfrey, and Sally Jesse Raphael -- who have featured episodes which dealt with allegations of Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) and discussions of memories formed during Recovered Memory Therapy, Geraldo is stands out, because his programs had the greatest influence over public opinion.  He was a showman who knew how to lead people along on his "investigations" to his foregone conclusions, only to fail in delivering on his empty promises.

At least he eventually confessed and issued a retraction and an apology for the damage that his programs had done to innocent people.

A more accurate estimate of Satanic activity in the US includes:

• 10,000 adult members of religious Satanic churches, temples and grottoes.

• 10,000 adult solitary practitioners of Satanism.

• probably in excess of 100,000 transitory teenage dabblers in Satanism.

There is no evidence that any adult Satanist has committed a criminal act related to his religious belief.  However, teen-aged dabblers have been shown to engage in minor crimes.  These include defacing buildings and tombstones with graffiti, harassing neighbors with "spooky" noises and chanting, and leaving candles burning at crossroads.

People are too easily fooled, and the easiest people to be fooled are themselves.

Unfortunately this is a bit of an over-generalization. It is certainly true that the vast majority of adult Satanists do not commit criminal acts related to their religious belief. However, alas, there do exist some groups, like the Order of the Nine Angles, that do encourage violent criminal activity. (See, for example, this news story.) But even the ONA doesn't resemble the SRA mythos, and there's no evidence of a massive conspiracy of the kind envisioned by SRA scaremongers.


This too is an over-generalization, in the other direction. There are plenty of "teen-aged dabblers" who aren't criminals either.

For more about Satanism, please see my post here.

While the Church of Satan no longer conducts official rituals as it did during its first decade (1966 to 1975 CE), its members can optionally perform rituals, of which the rationale is discussed here (in the FAQ on the Church of Satan's website).

Regarding the other book you mentioned:


The author, Marie RavenSoul, is not a member of the Church of Satan. She is a theistic Satanist. Her beliefs are summed up here.

I used to know her online for a little while back in the early 2000's. As far as I know, she is not a criminal of any kind.


The "Hellfire clubs" were an eighteenth-century phenomenon. (See Wikipedia and BBC (2016) articles.) Aleister Crowley was born much too late to be involved in the "Hellfire Clubs" -- and also died much too soon to have ever visited NYC's BDSM club of that name that existed in the 1980's and 1990's. (The latter club, by the way, had a strong ethic of consensuality -- not a scene of the kinds of abuses that are said to have occurred in the 1700's "Hellfire clubs".)

I am not saying Al Qaeda are satanists, however, I would say that somewhere along the line
those who committed the crimes where manipulated or provoked into committing the crimes on that exact day,
there may have been sleeper agents who infiltrated Al Qaeda who put the ideas in the heads of the crazzies,
I believe some really are that powerful and wealthy.

There are those, such as Steve Bannon, who have the intelligence and the financial resources, as well as the devious
intent, in order to orchestrate such a horrific ordeal. If you read up on Steve Bannon, you will also find out that he used to work in the Twin towers, is a ww2 military strategy fanatic, prescribes to a questionable belief system, had a good understanding as to what impact such a terrorist event would have on the economy (he was prior a hedge fund expert).

He also is someone who i regard as highly manipulative and socio-pathic. Good person to be President Trumps right hand man (or was he really the man in the background that pulled all the strings).

A lot of reality happens behind closed doors
covert to what the public see and are told

The satanic thing has been going on in politics/business/entertainment for many many years.

Just out of interest.
If you guys were wandering why 9 and 11. I believe i explained that 9 was 6 upside down.
So 9 is an inverted 6. Which to some makes it more evil.
11 is the twin horned god.

If you want more references, take a look at the Church of Satan, and see how they revere such Satanic numerology

The "Church's" basic tenants are as established as follows:

The Church of Satan proclaims there are 11 Satanic rules of Earth.
The Church of Satan's 9 Satanic Statements
The Church of Satan's 9 Satanic Sins

LaVeyan Satanism

I believe the number 6 also is held in high regard, as is the combination of 666. ho hum...

For Mona Pereth
Aleister Crowley and Benjamin Franklin also frequented the caves in High Wycombe.
I have been to High Wycombe although i wasn't visiting there in order to visit the infamous caves.

Apparently Crowley did frequent the caves, as did Benjamin Franklin, at one point.
Due to being involved in one of the "clubs" which likely were developments or off shoots of the original
hell fire club. aka Sir Francis Dashwood's Order of the Friars of St. Francis of Wycombe

I have read a few books on Crowley, and from my knowledge of the clubs, yes, i would imagine he would
enjoy or even revel in the aristocratic hypocrisy, like many of such a privileged background.

What I always found extremely ironic about Crowley in particular, is that for all his "magic/k"
which he spent his life involved in and writing books on, he died a poor man addicted to heroin.
Well you could have done that coming from a poor background!... and plenty have R.I.P.

Born into aristocratic privilege and riches, to be the most iconic figure in the occult revival of the 20th / 21st century,
to die a poor drug riddled wretch. Well, a life of magic/k that is supposed to bring you material success,
didn't do him much good. Think Anton LaVey sounded like he had a better run for his money.

Satanic Rituals: Companion to the "Satanic Bible" Mass Market Paperback – 1 July 1998

Another for Mona Pereth.
I note that Anton LaVey is the accredited author, although this, as you mentioned may not be correct.
I do not that the book was released onto the market in July 98, which is after Anton LaVey's death.

I am not an expert on Church of Satan so i can not say what is what from an experts perspective.
I would assume that the book was authored by LaVey, as I would have imagined that his daughter would have sued
if it was unofficial use of his name.

But, i guess this is Satanism, not an area that i have a great deal of expertise in apart from being subjected to abuse at the hands of local morons, who may or may not be into Church of Satan. Perhaps they don't.

I am in the process of educating myself.
