Links to Satanism
The Book of Shadows , as it is entitled contains personal rituals that are done most frequent.
This book plays an important part in self style satanism and
witchcraft. Aleister Crowley who died in 1947 also had part in originating the first
Book of Shadows. A practitioner of black magik in the early 1900s he was self proclaimed
as the beast 666. He took part in ceremonial satanic sex rituals with animals and children. William
Schnoebelen
remarks; 'If Wiccans aren’t Satanist why do two of their prominent spokespeople
take such pains to associate themselves with the century’s leading Satanist.

witchcraft practitioners as well as satanic worship. Children are indoctrinated by
the early and innocent age of 2 or 3 years old.
Ritual abuse survivors have in all cases and from all areas of the world spoke of
horrifying and grotesque practices that had been done to them on a continuous bases.

Festivals
European folklore tells of two major festivals for
witches-April 30, the grand sabots Beltane, Samhain (Sabot Festival Night) and October 31, All Hallows Eve, known today as
Halloween. This is said when the barriers between the world to life and death are thin as
veils, allowing the dead to walk among the living. Witches normally meet monthly during
the full moon in local
covens of thirteen people. The number at meetings may vary, however, from as few as five witches to as many as
several thousand. These meetings are called sabbats.
Satanism
Is Satanism a hard reality in
America, or is it a psychiatric metaphor for a society going mad? Perhaps both.
While it is possible that some individuals might be using Satanism
as a convenient scapegoat for the horrible tortures suffered during
their childhood, the sheer
number telling similar tales argues against this. But could it possibly be this bad?
Not only is it as bad as reported, it is worse than we ever imagined and seems headed
toward becoming even more open and destructive.
Most people in the western world really don't
believe in the existence of evil and the spiritual reality of GOD and Satan. This makes it difficult to confront Satan and Satanism
and all its varieties. Daily, police discover ritualistic murders of children, adults, and
animals, as well as a up rise in reported incest, torture, and the worst forms of sexual abuse.
It seems that Americans would rather use sociology, psychology, and
psychiatry to explain these bizarre behaviors from a scientific frame of reference. They simply don't
want to face the spiritual reality implied by the evidence. But if we tail to understand Satanism
and view it as just another cult (an extreme bizarre and gruesome one), we will be impotent to
resist it or save and heal its victims.
Hartgrove Hospital in Chicago opened a psychiatric unit in 1989 for young people who
were experimenting with Satanism. The treatment used was traditional
psychotherapy and confrontation, similar to the approaches used to treat drug abusers.
The
fact that there is a recognition of the growing need for treatment of these adolescence is commendable;
yet a concern about the refusal to recognize the spiritual implications of the problem.
Naturally, most Satanist don't make their activities public, but a few
flamboyant leaders have emerged. Anton LaVey formed the Church of Satan in 1966, in San Francisco.
LaVey was
a carnival man so he gave a "showbiz" flavor to worshipping Satan.
LaVey declared himself to be the "black pope of Satanism." but his most lasting impact was his authorship of the Satan satanic bible. Which has made its way into the hands and minds of our young people without opposition to the content.
Michael Aquino formerly a follower of LaVey formed the Temple of Set in
1975 taking the name of the mythological Egyptian god of death. He is a highly visible spokesmen for
Satanism and is on television talk shows often. His approach is intellectual. He has a
Ph.D. in political science and was a lieutenant in the United States Army, with top clearance. He
practices black magick and is a Nazi sympathizer. We need to look beneath its show business surface
to discover the extent to which its horrifying effects have reached into our nations life. We
can best define the movement by discussing four levels of involvement in Satanism.
The First Level: EXPERIMENTATION
The entrance to Satan’s realm is
through the occult experimenters or dabblers may begin by reading books on witchcraft and occult practices. Many then progress to using
Ouija boards tarot cards, or the Dungeons and Dragons game. Some visit séances or attempt astral
travel.
Many young people enter through the door of heavy metal, and some rap music with satanic
and violent lyrics. These experimenters entering the supernatural realm are unaware
of the danger to their lives.
Heavy metal punk rockers and satanic groups have emerged as new
gang phenomena and greatly differ from traditional street gangs. The characteristics of these gangs are:
members are usually white and middle class; they listen to heavy metal rock music; nothing
traditionally
held sacred is recognized; their behavior is violent- they enjoy shock value:
they have little parental authority and believe in anarchy; and their goal is to
destroy not protect. These groups activities include drawing graffiti using illegal drugs, abusing
children often times their own siblings, and assaulting parents. Grave robbing and
desecration of
animal and human remains are some of the more bizarre activities associated with these groups.
The Second Level:
INDEPENDENT CULTS
A deeper level of involvement comes with the adolescent
having easy access to books about witchcraft, and the satanic bible. In these books you find occult information
incantations, and spells. Once these dabblers try the rituals presented in these books, and find that
they truly work it creates and sense of power over the unknown. Members of these groups meet
regularly to perform rituals and devise evil. Members of these groups have high levels of commitment
and serious addiction to satanic practices. It is not unusual for these self- styled cultists
to turn up in the news. Many serial killers, the Stalker Richard Ramirez for example, are admitted
Satanist.
Ramirez was suspected and found guilty in some twenty gruesome murders and two dozen
sexual attacks.
He was into heavy metal music and drugs, and he had a pentagram carved into his hand in some cases links to Satanism have been uncovered in investigations but were suppressed by police seeking to avert copycat crimes.
Police departments
across the country are finding increasing evidence of
Satanism at crime scenes such as symbols of the pentagram upside down crosses, the
number of the (666) dead animals circles drawn on the floor or ground, ritual tools, and the satanic
bible.
These type of headlines fill the media in every part of the world. The news tells of
mass murders such as David Berkowitz Son of Sam" who terrorized New York, Texas, North
Dakota, and California Writer Maury Terry researched Berkowitz for seven years and
found
that a group of Satanist were involved in the killings. Another cult
motivated cannibalistic murderer in the headlines is Jeffrey Dommer. His gruesome acts that went unnoticed even after a
victim somehow got free to inform police.
It is the underworld of occult
crimes, that is the most discussed issue in law
enforcement circles today. The crimes are frightening; a
homicide where the decapitated victim is surrounded by colored beads, seven coins and a
chicken feather; ritual sacrifices at wooded sites where black- robed cultist mutilate
animals on alters; other homicides where the corpses are found drained of blood with symbols such as a pentagram or
inverted cross carved into their chests; drug and pornography rings with nationwide
connections to occult groups; carefully executed grave robbing; Satanic rituals and human sacrifices
involving children. Many stories have been documented as told to police by hundreds of
children in preschools throughout the United States, all of them
relating similar horrors.
THE THIRD LEVEL: SATANISM THROUGH
GENERATIONS
There are some families in which Satanism
has been practiced for generations, its secrets being passed from parent to child and from one generation to the next. There are no
written records of membership; contracts with Satan are signed by members in their
own blood and then burned by their high priests and priestesses. One such group is called the
Brotherhood It draws its members from all walks of life.
Groups such as the Brotherhood regularly practice human as well as animal sacrifice incest
is regarded as a normal expected activity as is eating human flesh and drinking
blood. They are careful the no trace can ever be found. They often have a
portable crematorium to use in disposing of the bodies of their victims. They cleanse their meeting
places which are often in Christian churches that have been broke into for this purpose of
ritual worship. Because of the care they take, law enforcement officials
have difficulty investigating them.
Such groups would never announce in the media that they are starting a
Satanist church for secrecy is a top priority and sever punishment is given to those who break
it. The Brotherhood has a very effective network across the country. They are able to control and
keep touch with members, especially those who wish to leave. All this
knowledge is passed down and used as a tool to keep offspring in line.
THE FOURTH LEVEL: THE ILLUMINATE
The deepest level of Satanism belongs to the Illuminate
which means Holders of the Light These people profess to have special intellectual or spiritual
enlightenment. Lucifer is called “Light Bearer” or “enlightened one” which is where Illuminate
is derived from.
There is still very little public knowledge about this high level international
organization. The Illuminate holds these following goals as an organization as well as
individually;
