Satanism

I was in very strong contact.

And I said, what was that about? Satanic factions.

The rescuing of the girls was on a mission.

So we know a lot of this has to do with trafficking.

Where do you find doctrines of demons? will very quickly go to any Christian, go to any bookstore, not Christian, go to any secular bookstore, and one of the largest sections in that bookstore, because they're trying to serve a market, they're gonna scratch where people are itching, but one of the most highest volume turnover areas in a broadly based bookstore is New Age.

Paganism, occult, witchcraft, Satanism, Big, big, much bigger than the religious section, the Christian section in that bookstore.

And many people sort of criticize these bookstores.

Boy, they've got nothing but New Age stuff.

Some events occurred that I won't bore you with the details of which, but I remember being startled by two things at the same time.

I became conscious, as anyone was in those days, of the rise of what we colorfully call the counterculture at Berkeley and the rest.

And what intrigued me was two things that I became aware of, perhaps a little late, and most people may have been already aware of them by then, but I remember at the time, I became conscious of this strange aspect of the counterculture involving not just the abuse of drugs, but their involvement with witchcraft and Satanism.

And I remember at the time, I thought that was a little bizarre.

guess it was originally created for the Purgatory single, but they saved the artwork because they just thought it looked too good.

But yeah, critics, of course, cited the demonic imagery as the evidence of Satanism.

It was really more about manipulation, I think, of who's manipulating who, who's really in control.

Yeah.

I mean, it's just, yeah, like you said, you know, a great riff and it just kind of captures the essence of all, you know, rock and roll, I think, which- I mean, I think rock and roll has always sort of had, I mean, I don't know if you call it satanic, but more like sort of pagan ideas, which I think are about, you know, kind of living for the moment, having fun, doing whatever, you know, pleases you in the moment.

I mean, that's kind of the essence of rock and roll.

So I guess that's maybe the, you know, another connection to sort of Satanism.

But of course, it's nonsense.

He says Freemasonry is an example of Satan appearing as an angel of light.

Satanism, Gnosticism.

These are gateways to more advanced secret societies.

So what I'm pointing out here.

person's tweet here.

about believing in Satan.

And so that's why I was harping on Satanism.

The guy's like, oh, the Satanists do this.

Whoa.

Satanic tarot cards.

Looks like Sardo is doing what thou wilt.

It's the whole of the law.

Wait,

Eileen, did you just call him Satanic Karl Marx? No.

I tried to say Satanic tarot cards, and it all came out of my mouth.

Fucking Satanic

And I think her childhood at least influenced her to a point where she was dating this guy, right? Like I feel like all our experiences that we make in our childhood make us open to finding a partner.

And he seemed to be like very manipulative and introduced her to Satanism and all this.

So she was open to even entertaining this guy because of what she had learned in her previous life, I would say.

Right.

Yeah,

yeah.

And how do you feel about the Satanism? Do you think it actually played a role in the murders or do you think it was just sensationalized by media and all that?

I was thinking that.

His unholy resting place became the Highgate Cemetery.

Now, Sean believed that the spate of vandalism at the cemetery over the years had been the work of Satanists who were attempting to resurrect this vampire.

Mm-hmm.

Sean said that he wanted to, quote, exercise the vampire by the traditional and approved manner, drive a stake through its heart, and with one blow, just after dawn, between Friday and Saturday.

It's definitely an occult movie.

Definitely like some Satanism kind of stuff playing a role in it, which I which I'm super interested in as far as not like practicing it.

But I think it's an interesting horror topic.

Yeah, you'll see.
