Category Archives: Modern Satanism

Sometimes famous people chose very unreal religions and cultus. Read about the most famous celebrities who are fond of Satanism.

We live in such incredible time when each person is a master of himself or herself. We can do everything we want, go where we want, eat what we decide ourselves. And our freedom is much wider than these usual, daily actions. We are free to choose the person whom we want to be the leader of our country and we can choose what to believe in.

Due to the freedom of religion we are able to make our own choice about this private and important issue and no one can judge us. Usually, most people choose between the most widespread and popular religions, such as Christianity, Islam or Catholicism. Sometimes they can make less popular choice, for example, Buddhism or Hinduism. And no one is going to be surprised by this decision.

But modern world gives an opportunity not only to choose the religion freely but also to invent. Probably, it is much easier to create your own religion than you think. A person can create his or her own church without any difficulties. You should just give the substantial answers to the questions of the human kind and find people who will share your ideas. You can even register it officially if you meet all the demands of the law.

The bright example of such kind of religion is Pastafarian. They spread the idea of a flying spaghetti monster all over the world.

Another unusual, but quite popular religion is satanism. It has many believers in many countries of the planet and is constantly getting more and more new believers.

Among them, there are many famous celebrities. Probably, because it is already not very interesting and unusual to be a Scientologist, so they are looking for new ways to shock the publicity. Or, maybe, they sincerely share the ideology of Satanists.

We will never know exactly

Satanic religion is comparatively new one. It appeared only in the middle of the previous century. If you imagine people in mantles, worshiping the Devil and making the bloody sacrifice at the altar, you are wrong. It is a kind of myth.

Actually, Satanism is a contrariety to traditional Christian virtues and postulates. This religion is aimed at the usage of practical common sense and justice, as well as encouragement of benevolence and sympathy. It is not even a real religion, it is kind of world outlook, philosophy.

People who prefer this religion they do not actually worship the Devil in a biblical sense. They suppose the Satan to be a symbol of rebels against tyranny and authority. You may be surprised, but many adherents of Satanism are really atheists. Satan is not an identity, it is an archetype. It is the tale of traits, such as change, development and pursuance of self-development. It is a desire to become a real personality.

Moreover, those people think that religion should be based on science and critical reasoning, not on supernatural and superstitious ideas. There is no common canon, and each Satanists chooses for himself his own life journey, so they often are out of tune with the agreed standards.

There are even some subgroups of Satanists. Now this religion is fastly growing. For example, in the USA it was practically legalised not long ago. And now there are even special additional courses at schools which would be backed financially by the state government.

Of course, such interesting and unusual cultus cannot be neglected by superstars, who are always eager to distinguish themselves from the crowd. Read about the celebrities fond of Satanism.

The most famous celebrity engaged in Satanic cult is Marilyn Manson.

Probably, no one expected that the cute boy from the church is one day going to become one of the first and most famous the adherent of Satanic church. According to the musician, he combined in his name two things: lightness - actress Marilyn Monroe and darkness - Charles Manson, to show the thin line that divides in human life beautiful and terrible sides, genius and madness. But leaving people to wonder what is meant by beautiful, Manson from the very beginning sought to cause public Shock.

Jayne Mansfield, the famous Hollywood actress, is a person who stood at the origins of Satanism. Many people suppose that her death in a car accident is directly connected with her religion. But at the beginning of her worship, Jayne Mansfield acknowledged that for the first time in her life, she found a philosophy through which she could be a businesswoman, an intellectual, a mother and a beauty at the same time. Competitors will not condemn such for original sin.

Many people see some special secret satanic signs in a music and image of famous pop-diva Lady Gaga. There is no exact information about that, but she is supposed to be influenced by this cultus. This assumption was expressed by the maid of one of the hotels where the pop singer stayed. After her stay in the room, the maid found the bathtub full of blood.

About this the maid has reported to thier Concierge, Andrea Miller. The maid immediately advised to forget about it, and now her name shall be kept secret from the press. We only know that she works in a London hotel Intercontinental.

Legends of rock-n-roll, idols of millions of teenagers of their time, Elvis Presley and John Lennon were also suspected of Satanism, as in some of their songs are seen covered implication and worshiping of Devil.

Of course, another famous rock band, KISS, did everything to shock the public by their horrible masks and images. Their songs also are sometimes frightening ordinary listeners.

In the creative work of Nicki Minaj are traced attributes of the satanic cult, she is accused of carrying out some rituals in public.

Beyonce and her husband, Jay-Z, are also rumoured to be Satanists.

If to take for true the information about the direct connection between Satanism and Illuminati, then we can also designate many Nigerian celebrities as Satanists.

Such as Tiwa Savage, Goldie, Charly Boy, Don Jazzy and so on.

Satanism, any of various religious or countercultural practices and movements centred on the figure of Satan, the Devil, regarded in Christianity and Judaism as the embodiment of absolute evil. Historical Satanism, also called devil worship, consists of belief in and worship of the Judeo-Christian Devil and the explicit rejection of his antithesis, God, and (in Christianity) Gods Incarnation, Jesus Christ. It was traditionally based on the black mass, a corrupted rendition of the Christian Eucharist, and ritual magic evocations of Satan. Some more-recent forms of spiritual or theistic Satanism recognize Satan as an independent non-Judeo-Christian deity. Other modern Satanic movements, including the U.S.-based Church of Satan (founded 1966), celebrate Satan not as a god but as a symbol of supposedly anti-Christian moral values or as a pre-Christian life principle. Such movements may be atheistic, agnostic, or deistic. They do not promote or practice evil in any literal sense but may profess extreme forms of individualism and ethical egoism and may reject traditional Abrahamic religions, particularly Christianity, as hypocritical and repressive.

Historical Satanic cults have been documented in Europe and North America as far back as the 17th century, but their earlier roots are difficult to trace, just as the number of such Satanists in any period is frequently overestimated. Roman Catholic churchmen readily attributed Satanism to witches and to such heretics as the gnostics, Cathari, and Bogomils, but that charge does not correspond to the heretics own understanding of their beliefs, and the alleged Satanism of those persecuted in the heyday of witch burning may rest on no better foundation than the overheated imagination of witch finders and confessions obtained by torture (see Salem witch trials). Modern witchcraft and Neo-Paganism are not to be confused with historical Satanism, since those groups worship non-Judeo-Christian deities. Historical Satanism, as devotion to the Judeo-Christian source of evil, can exist only in symbiosis with that tradition, for it shares but inverts its worldview.

Albert Pike the Masons and the KKKTexe Marrs asks the questions as to why the Mason is honored and his statue is allowed to stand, while others are considered highly offensive and taken down. The answer is clear. Pipe is the daddy of high ranking Luciferian masons who fill the halls of Congress and Senate! The masons also fill the majority of positions in the courts and law enforcement. You cant attack their idol and god. Lucifer is the god of this world system!

Why is Albert Pike Honored and Untouchable?

Texe Marrs Founder of the Ku Klux Klan Statue Stands in the Middle of Washington, D.C., in Judiciary Square

At the University of Texas in Austin, theyre removing from public view the statue of the late Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy during the historic War Between the States. In Memphis, theyre actually uprooting and moving the graves of famous Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest and his entire family. Across the South, statues, busts, pictures and other items that memorialize Confederate war heroes are being defaced, vandalized, and brought down or destroyed.

The Confederate flag, too, is hated and despised and is now banned. Almost everywhere the politically correct, liberal crowd runs rampant, outlawing every vestige, every memory and fragment of Southern heritage.

Black people, especially, love to see the old South kicked around and disrespected, evidently because of the slavery issue. This attitude exists even though its been over 150 years since the Civil War. Even the memory of patriotic slave owners like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who lived some 80 years before the Civil War, has come under ferocious attack.

But strangely, in the very midst of our nations capital, Washington, D. C., stands arrogantly a statue of one of the most famous of Civil War Generalsa Confederate War Memorial in Washington, D. C. Yes, on Judiciary Square, directly in front of a melange of Justice Department buildings and courthouses it stands defiantly, as if it is mocking our nations lofty goals. of equal justice, and liberty for all. It is the statue of Albert Pike.

Albert Pike was a Confederate War General. During the conflict, Pike was accused of using native Choctaw Indian warriors to take the scalps of slain Yankee soldiers. He would feast his soldiers and the Indians with wagons filled with bawdy whores and ply them with liquor.

President Abraham Lincoln declared rebel Pike a criminal menace and sought to capture and imprison the corrupt General. When the war ended, Pike immediately fled to the safety of neighboring Canada. Some believe that Albert Pike was involved in the conspiracy and plot to murder Lincoln. Nevertheless, he was pardoned after the war by Lincolns successor, President Andrew Johnson, a southerner.

Albert Pike: Sovereign Grand Commander of the Masonic Lodge

Back home in South Carolina, Pike was chosen to become the top Mason in America as Sovereign Grand Commander of Scottish Rite Freemasonry. Pike, an academic and a poet (He wrote the famous song, Dixie), rewrote the 33 degree rituals still used up to this day. He authored Morals and Dogma, the authoritative book published by the Masonic Lodge, quoted often by the Lodges leaders.

In Morals and Dogma, the satanic nature of the Lodge is meticulously laid out. Pike asserts that the Lodges rituals are based strictly on Judaisms occultic Kabbalah. He urges Masons to seek after light and touts Lucifer as the Angel of Light to be followed and obeyed by Freemasons everywhere.

He states: Lucifer, the Light-bearer Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the light, with its splendors intolerable and blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish souls? Doubt it not! Pike, Morals and Dogma, p. 321

So now we clearly see what Albert Pike representsa Confederate General who became a murderous cut-throat during the Civil War, possessing the Luciferian aims of international Masonry. Perhaps even responsible for the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. But there is still more.Statue of Albert Pike

Ku Klux Klan founder Albert Pikes statue sits in Judiciary Square in Washington, D.C. At its base, the Goddess Athena sits, looking downward into hell while holding aloft the 33 Masons prime symbol, the doubleheaded eagle. The eagle has two heads symbolizing Lucifers desire to overtake and bring heaven and hell together. It is a sign, moreover, of the divine, generative principle, the holy sex act or male-female, coupled.Albert Pike: A Founder of the Ku Klux Klan

Pike, you see, was also a chief founder of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), the pointy-hat, sheet-wearing militia of the supremacist whites during the reconstruction period.

Think about it: Right there, in our nations capital, autos buzzing by every day, is this statue of the founder of the much-hated KKK. Yet, no one today seeks to remove the Albert Pike monument from its perch in Judiciary Square. No one has defaced it. It sits there triumphant and safe. This statue is proof that Albert Pike is today both honored and revered.

Why havent black rabble-rousers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson objected to this statue? What of President Obama, himself a black partisan? Why does he do nothing? And what of the Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, also black, or her predecessor, the notorious race-baiter Eric Holder? What have they got to say about the inventor of the KKK being honored, in our nations capital no less, with his own memorial statue?

Where are you, Black Lives Matter leaders? And why have the members of the Congressional Black Caucus kept their silence?

Pikes Influence Felt Beyond the Grave

Could it be that Albert Pike continues to exert his dark and dreadful Jewish-Masonic influence far beyond the grave? Why is it that the media dare not speak a solitary negative word denouncing the despicable historic figure, Albert Pike.

It was Voltaire who wrote, To learn who rules over you simply find out who you cannot criticize.

Albert Pike represents that hidden rulership tribe, the Kabbalistic Jews. His entire life was a drama that touted Lucifer as God and the antichrist Jewish King to come as Messiah of Earth. These facts are known by the powerful who speak not a word. Albert Pike stands proudly on his marble stone pedestal: Founder of the Ku Klux Klan, Civil War Confederate General, Sovereign Grand Commander of Freemasonry, accused mass murderer, and suspected presidential assassin. Let us also add Luciferian and notorious homosexual to this rogues list as well.

The abominable statue is accompanied by a wall of silence. And sometimes silence speaks louder than words.

The World Wars of Albert Pike

Civil War general created cult that influenced the New World Order

by Jon Bowne Infowars.com January 10, 2015

Albert Pike served as a Brigadier-General in the Confederate Army.

Following the War, Pike was jailed for treason, but he was quickly pardoned by fellow Freemason President Andrew Johnson.

Among eventually becoming a 33rd degree mason and a top leader of the Ku Klux Klan, Pike was also believed to be a Luciferian.

He claimed he was able to summon Lucifer at will as the Grand Master of the Order of the Palladium.

Palladism or TRADITIONAL SATANISM, an ancient Luciferian cult, was then introduced to the inner circle of the Masonic lodges. This influence has flourished into modern day Freemasonry in the hidden rites of the upper degrees.

Leaders of industry, entertainment, the CIA, congress, and our military leaders are inundated with Freemasonic Palladism or a Luciferian New World Order.

Its everywhere you look in Washington D.C. if you have eyes that see.

What follows are the chilling predictions or instructions of Albert Pikes Three World Wars, funded in great part by the House of Rothschild, FROM A LETTER that he wrote to 33 degree Italian Illuminati head and Mafia founder Giuseppe Mazzini, dated August 15, 1871.

The Meat Section is the True Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Milk Section is likened to those who will not preach on sin and Hell, just a feel good message.

The Junk Food Isle is the outright false doctrine AKA the prosperity gospel, name it and claim it, the Hebraic Roots movement and other false teachings!!

Feasting on just Milk and Junk will eventually cause you great harm!

Demon names and what they are related to

In addition to the names listed below, some come from the Bible, some from ancient cultures and some from Mythology, Demons and evil spirits can and will take on any name they desire.

For instance, they will take on the name of porno which reflects what the possessed person is in bondage to, Pornography. I have dealt with demons calling themselves, alcohol, homo, liar, religion, etc. They are proud and will give away what they represent by giving you their name, hence relating what the person has done to open a doorway to let them in.

Demon Names and how to Identify them Exposing Satanism ...

I must admit I did not see this articles title coming. But lately, Hollywood has been burning and satanists are running out from the flames with their arms (and pants) on fire. It appears that most of them are pedophiles and they are offended that anyone dares to critique them. When I see this happening, I struggle for the will to run for the water bucket. I am not sure if this action would be moral or even sympathetic. I had to invest some time looking into the anatomy of Satanism.

Satanists wear tennis shoes, do yoga and have children. They hold jobs, they can get fired, they adopt children and animals. They have ethics, follow a code, and will pick up garbage instead of complaining about it. It is a living religion for a large group of people. The modern day satanist is a practitioner of will. At its core, Satanism is founded on the principal of Thelema.

A satanist calls on will through ritual. The satanic circle is a living theater for casting. The director builds a scene with props and acts outafantasy. The fantasy is the will window-shopping. The success of the ritual is determined by the live performance of the director. Once the curtain rises, the show must go on. A satanist takes this ritual very seriously. They say their life depends on it. The satanic ritual produces results. If it did not, there would be no Hollywood.

As above so below is a principle of music. Plucking a string produces a tone. Halving the string will give you its next octave. When two octaves are played together, a third octave is created through resonance. This is the harmonic principle and it is a fundamental of nature. A satanic ritual is the playing of two notes or tones to produce the third sympathetically. The first tone is played in the will or mind of the magician. The second tone is played out in the ritual circle. The third tone is manifested through resonance. As above, so below. The perfection of the mind and the stage determines the quality of the third tone.

Hollywood is an industry built on resonance. Hollywood is not just movies. Hollywood is any lens influencing America. It is a curated perspective with a script. Its only measure of success is the amount of attention it bleeds out of you. Its profits,integrity, or sense of communityare meaningless. This is why CNN is the number one name in news.Hollywood is the ritual of the siren on a lighthouse. It will take any ship commanded by anycaptain.It has no desireto checkcharacter. It simply wants the flesh.

For decades, America painted a picture of gold in the hills. Movies painted a picture of a fame-based salvation. Billy Normal was young and free. Leaving a small town in Ohioon the morningbefore his high school graduation. Saddled in a Japanese sedan, he headed west to be a big star. Billy was going to be somebody. He listened toa fantasy as it rolled out of his lips, My name is Wiley Cooper. No. Waylon Cooper. Billy Cooper. He would decideafter lunch in St Louis.

This is dissociation and it is the first step into the Hollywood ritual. The cure detaches from the body and forms a tight white bubble. This is Billy Normals secret center. The outside world does not come here. This ishisreality. But Hollywood only wantshis illusion. Billy is driving west, into the sunset. He is on agasolinedeath march. This is the first level in the ritual. Billys name is his first sacrifice.

The satanic ritual requires a circle, it requires a sacrifice, and it requires a resonator. The quality and weight of the sacrifice determines the power of the ritual. Satanism is the direction and application of the will into the aether. The aether is the collected psychic energy of mankind. Mans will is fueled directly by the bloods own juices. Adrenaline actsas a slingshot for this process. It creates a laser focusa mother could use to pick up a Buick. Love, anger, hope, are all colors of will infused in the blood through our thoughts. The practice of satanism is the honing of will.

Hollywood is not infected with pedophilia. It is a necessary function of its existence. There can be no Hollywood without it. To rape/molest a child is the ultimate self-sacrifice. There is no human that could come dwell in their own heart after doing that to children. Pedophilia is a death ritual. We are so disgusted/angry at what is happening, we may not see the satanic mechanism and understand why it works this way. Why this is its nature. I want you to know this so you wont try to fix it.

Hollywood cannot be fixed. It is far from broken.

Why does adrenochrome work? It is a spell of blood over intent. To understand how this works, I need you to do the impossible and forget about the victim while i explain it. I need you to instead go inside the mind of someone about to cut open someones arteries. The witch said, With a sharp knife cut deeply into the middle finger of your left hand. Eat the pain. The left hand is closer to the heart. The heart is a crucible of creation. We hope. We act. We think. We do. When the mind has a goal. It needs a hearts energy to fulfill it. Our will is adrenalin with intention.

After Billy arrives in Hollywood, he descends through more elaborate rituals of sacrifice. Changinghis namewas the first level. Easy enough. Next comes an audition with no pants on. Then, some awkward touching that was nothing to worry about. Each one a ritual with more of a sacrifice. Each time, there is a peeling of ones skin as an offering. Soon, Billy arrives empty-handed at the next ritual. Hes bled himself out and they wont take his bones. He needs the blood of another. He needs this town to need him.

The adrenalin that flows inside us is manna. Liquid intent made from a clean heart and mind is the most valuable resource on the planet. Our essence and life-force holds a power thats been hidden from us for a reason.These secrets have been known for a long, long time. Adrenalin is the cure for everything. We have lost the knowledge to focus it. Hollywoodsatanists have stolen these secrets and trapped them inside an industry. Why would a human murder a child? The answer is to stop being a human. Pedophilia is the fourth level. Rejection of our humanity. It easy to do after a few grunts from Harvey Weinstein in a bathrobe. Each time, more of the skin is required. Each time, less adrenaline is produced. Each time, the desperation increases.

When you arrive at level Epstein, you aregambling withcenturies of karma. Epstein and Clinton are high-stakes satanists. They fit the working definition of demon, psychopathy possessing a human body. Bill Clinton, the human, was evacuated a long time ago. This is why Hollywood is perfect. A golden industry created decades ago by a cartel of psychotic bankers. When money is meaningless, you trade in the fetish of adrenaline. Weinstein is a high cardinal. Sarah K Silverman a low altar girl. Pedowood thinks pedophilia is funny because they have turned into hyenas.They chew on innocent flesh hoping to remember what it tastes like.

Pedowood is intentional. Consider the Dan Harmon video:1.) Pedophilia Dream2.) Character wakes, claims himself to be Dan3.) Character then goes home and performs torture ritual on 2 kids.4.) Child drowning.5.) Parent feeds child feces.6.) Character stabs child.

Hollywood and MSM broadcasts are satanic rituals of lights and camera. The big screen is a spell to give you the impression this is all talent. But talent is a contract, a contract is awarded for a service of being an accomplice. This is consent extraction.

Satanism/Hollywood/MSM are selling the idea that consent is a form of ethics. Notice consent is acquired externally, from a populace. Morality is internal. It keeps you up at night. The Hollywood ritual is turning your insides off. It wants you to follow their own shiny gold compass.

Most of the left is a cult for the same reasons. One side of a persons psyche has been suppressed, shamed and destroyed. They have a gagged morality and distrust the intuition. We are told its evil, racist, sexist, xenophobic. This dethrones morality replacing it with consent.

This is why MSM says such ridiculous things. This is why POTUS is so antithetical to Hollywood. This is why YOU are so dangerous awakened. You trust your own morality. You listen to the compass in your spine. A cult is the cancer of the self-abandoned.

Society hides your true power behind words like placebo. We are men pretending to be sheep. There is a blueprint for mind control and Hollywood is using it. Progressivism is the sinister ritual of dipping chains in gold and selling it as privilege.

When you accept your privilege, you tell a lie in public. This lie is outwardly rewarded with virtue. This makes the outside a happy place and the inside a sad place. Repetition is the key to mind control. A thousand tiny lies rewarded with a thousand chants of Youre so progressive. We naturally drift where its comfortable. Outside is good, inside is bad.

When you see someone in the lefts bubble, they are enslaved by their own empathy and held down by shame. This is why the left has such vitriol. Its not that you are simply problematic. To them, you have committed heresy by consulting your own conscience.

In satanism, mind control is acceptable after consent. This results in consent being extracted sinisterly. Sinister in the way you might take a dog to the vet. A satanist will say man is god of his own world and accountable for all of his decisions. In this reasoning, consent trumps morality. Group mkultra.

Children are the new frontier of consent extraction for pedophilia. A cult rewards itself for progressively honoring the sentience of their children. This line of thinking is both twisted AND consistent. The moral intuition has been gagged as evil. What remains is psychopathy posing as reason.

Relativism is a philosophy that tries to turn morality into a consent-based system of ethics. It creates a fetish of the reason, placing it on a pedestal where anything is possible, no matter how depraved. Notice how morality is replaced with relativism in the 11 satanic rules. (Comments in blue.) When you create a consent-based ethic, it requires an external point of reference. This pulls the ear away from its own heart placing it outside in the matrix of acceptable opinion. This process guts you like a fish.

The laws of consent grant the satanist a passon any behavior. How easy would it be under this system to: give a blowjob for a contract; to prostitute yourself for money and call yourself a virgin; To exploit a minor because they werent crying loud enough for you to hear them? Satanism is a trance on our morality. It turns it into the scapegoat and makes reason its golden child. The same repeated system of triangulation.

When you practice a satanic spell, you perform a precise ritual with your body, props, and speech. If you do this correctly, you are rewarded. When actors are on camera, they perform a precise ritual with their body, props, and speech. If they do it correctly, they are rewarded.

The Hollywood Camera is the All-Seeing-Eye. The lucky sacrifice is the actor who shows the most devotion. Their devotion is proven through acts of depravity and self blackmail. Our silver for their filmed ritual makes us an unknowing accomplice.

A few days ago, the media was available to film a protestor who dressed up like a city worker toDestroy Donald Trumps Hollywood Star. He was using a sledgehammer and a pickaxe. His costume is not a coincidence. The town of Hollywood smashing its own pentagram with the very weapons of communism.

Trump is truth coming for Hollywood. This truth is light. You cant smash light. You cant smear it, label it, or get angry at it. The light will always be on. All you can do is try and block it from others. You can build a false ceiling and gather everyone underneath it. At least for a while.

Satanism is a keeper of light. Satanism, communism, progressivism and scientism are all light-hijackers. Relativists. If you darken the world, your torch becomes a sun. Apollo can ration his photons through his own lying shadow. Till he falls. Like he always does.

Lies are shadows covering our religion and history. The walls of our mind are smeared and our vision has been clouded. Many have grown accustomed to the blur. Some still prefer it. Like music, truth is a harmonic. When integrity is tuned, the truth is resonated all around us.

We want to know what makes them attracted to children? These people have a fetish for innocence. They know their own is gone forever. They traded it on the open market. The only way they can get closer to it is by making you an accomplice. They are more than sick. They are walking dead.Hard decisions have to be made. A pedophile is no longer human. My ethics insist I say that dehumanizing someone is a farce in the light of criminal justice. But this is not for justice. This is for mercy. We must end the suffering of what used to be human a long time ago.Pedophilia is like leprosy, not alcoholism. There is no way to change someone who dehumanizes a child by turning them into a consenting adult.

Heres a pro-consent pedophile advocate. Note the lack of shame. See how his reasoning gags his morality? He is highly-functional and dangerous. All he needs is consent from the child. He is the only judge of when consent has been given. This is worse than rape. He requires his own victim to justify his behavior.

Pedophilia will not die naturally. A pedophile must taste innocence to feel life. The brain is wired into the dopamine. Pedophiles are survivors who didnt make it. It would take another lifetime to fix them. Amputation is mercy. We cant pretend this is treatable by medication or a weekend in the desert.

We worshipped the all-seeing-eye of the camera. Our phones, our homes, our concerts and our movie theaters are an electric church. We are baptized in shiny shimmering illusion.People worship it. They sacrifice children to it. The clergy treat it with impeccable reverence. Who is the eye behind the lens? Why do we feed it with the eyes of our children?

Aztec culture has a bloody history of human sacrifice. We are bewildered at the very thought of it being real. We call those people animals and bury them deep down in history. We rest easy knowing how evolved weve become. We insist something so savage could never happen to us here today. After all, we have our airplanes. We have our crosswalks. We go to movies. Impossible.

A spell enchants its subscriber. It casts a bubble of paralysis around the prey. It captivates the mind, subduing it with sound and picture. It extracts our attention, converting it to fame, and reselling it to us like nectar in 90 minutes. Victims are so blind to it they will buy their own ticket. Or pay a monthly fee.

If youve ever doubted the power of magic thats a sure sign that its working. The sleeping will be the first to declare themselves woke. Listen carefully. You, me, none of us are woke. We are awakening. Remember how easy it is to fall under the spell. We are the Aztecs. This is what its like to live in a human sacrifice culture.

My intentions from this article are to kill the Hollywood spell of camera. Awareness is my staff of light and I strike it deep into the earth from the top of my mountain. Let it be known so it may be exposed.Fame is the bondage of the Golden Child. Shameis the abuse of the Scapegoat. We are in triangulation with a psychotic media cartel. This is corporate mind control boiled in the marrow of satanism.

Mirrors on the ceiling,The pink champagne on iceAnd she said We are all just prisoners here, of our own deviceAnd in the masters chambers,They gathered for the feastThey stab it with their steely knives,But they just cant kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I wasRunning for the doorI had to find the passage backTo the place I was beforeRelax, said the night man,We are programmed to receive.You can check-out any time you like,But you can never leave.

The Anatomy of Satanism in Hollywood - James True

The One-Eye sign is one of the most recurrent themes on The Vigilant Citizen because it is also one of the most recurrent themes in mass media. Throughout the years, this site has highlighted hundreds upon hundreds of clear instances where major artists, models, celebrities, politicians and public figures posed with one eye hidden.

The sign is everywhere: In music videos, on magazine covers, on movie posters, in advertisement and so forth. The sheer number of these pictures is simply staggering. Considering these facts, the repeated occurrence of the One-Eye sign simply cannot be the result of coincidence. Indeed, there is a clear effort to have this sign displayed everywhere.

So, why is this sign everywhere and what does it mean? Heres a look at the timeless and transcendental symbol of the Eye.

An Archetypal Symbol

A Turkish nazar amulet used to repel evil eye curses. Similar charms can be found in Portugal, Brazil, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Albania, Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, parts of North India, Palestine, Morocco, southern Spain, Italy, Malta, Romania, the Balkans, the Levant, Afghanistan, Syria, and Mexico.

The human eye has been used as a symbol since the dawn of civilization. It can be found across all ages and cultures. Carl Jung identified the eye as a classic archetypal symbol an image that is embedded in humanitys collective unconscious. According to his theory, humans instinctively respond to archetypal symbols and unconsciously assign to them a specific meaning.

Eyes are probably the most important symbolic sensory organ. They can represent clairvoyance, omniscience, and/or a gateway into the soul. Other qualities that eyes are commonly associated with are: intelligence, light, vigilance, moral conscience, and truth. Looking someone in the eye is a western custom of honesty. In this way covering of the eyes, by wearing a helmet, sunglasses, etc. can mean mystery, not seeing the complete truth, or deceit. The eye often means judgment and authority. Dictionnary of Symbolism, University of Michigan

In nearly all cultures, the symbol of the eye is associated with spiritual concepts such as divinity (the Eye of Providence), spiritual illumination (the Third Eye) or magic (the evil eye).

The eye symbolizes seeing and light, and therefore consciousness itself. The eye is the part of us that beholds the universe and sees our place in it. It is knowledge, awareness and wisdom. The eye takes in light, the pure energy of the universe, and presents it to the inner spirit. It is the gateway, indeed the very union, between the self and the cosmos. Peter Patrick Barreda, Archetype of Wholeness Jung and the Mandala

In the Bible, Jesus referred to the eye as the lamp of the body.

The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! Matthew 6:22-23

The symbol of the eye always had a mystical and spiritual dimension assigned to it. As the popular saying goes: Eyes are the windows to the soul. For this reason, the symbol of the eye is particularly important in occult circles and Mystery schools.

Sun God

Since the dawn of civilization, the symbol of the eye and the sun (aka the eye in the sky) are associated with divinity.In Ancient Egypt, the symbols of the Wadjet, the Eye of Horus and the Eye of Ra are all associated with the solar god.

A classic depiction of the Egyptian Eye of Ra and Eye of Horus.

The early sun god was named Horus. When Ra took over the title of sun god, he was also known as Ra-Horakhty or Ra, who is Horus of the 2 horizons.

It was in a battle with Set that Horus lost the use of one eye. Thoth restored the eye, and this was when Horus was also named Wadjet. Ancient Pages, Eye Of Horus Powerful, Ancient Egyptian Symbol With Deep Meaning

Because the symbol of the eye is associated with the sun a proxy of divinity the esoteric eye has a peculiar quality: It is all-seeing.

The archetype of the all-seeing one-eyed sun god can also be found in other ancient cultures. In Persia, Ahura Mazda was considered to be the creator of Earth, the heavens, and humankind, as well as the source of all goodness and happiness on earth. He was said to have the sun for an eye.

The supreme god Ahura Mazda also has one Eye, or else it is said that with his eyes, the sun, moon and stars, he sees everything. Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages

In Norse mythology, Odin was known as the Allfather (or father of the gods). He was represented as an old man with one eye.

Odin is yet another representation of a one-eyed creator sun god.

The Supreme, invisible Creator of all things was called All-Father. His regent in Nature was Odin, the one-eyed god. The Norwegians regarded Balder the Beautiful as a solar deity, and Odin is often connected with the celestial orb, especially because of his one eye. Ibid.

Western Occultism

Considering the fact that Western occultism was greatly influenced by the esoteric teachings of the civilizations above, the symbol of the All-Seeing Eye made its way into orders such as the Rosicrucians, the Illuminati, and the Freemasons.

Masonic symbols under the All-Seeing Eye.

Albert Mackey writes that the All Seeing Eye is an important symbol of the Supreme Being, borrowed by the Freemasons from the nations of antiquity. The All Seeing Eye is a symbol representing the watchful gaze of God. It reminds us that every thought and action is to be recorded by theGrand Architect of the Universe, and that we are bound to our obligations in spirit as well as in blood. James E Frey, 32, Midnight Freemasons

Due to the heavy influence of Freemasonry on the historical events of the past centuries, the symbol of the All-Seeing Eye was included on prominent documents such as the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States and the Declaration of Human Rights.

Left: The reverse of the Great Seal of the United States. Right: The Declaration of Human Rights.

If any one doubts the presence of Masonic and occult influences at the time the Great Seal was designed, he should give due consideration to the comments of Professor Charles Eliot Norton of Harvard, who wrote concerning the unfinished pyramid and the All-Seeing Eye which adorned the reverse of the seal, as follows: The device adopted by Congress is practically incapable of effective treatment; it can hardly (however artistically treated by the designer) look otherwise than as a dull emblem of a Masonic fraternity. Hall, op. cit.

The symbol of the eye was also adopted by several powerful secret societies such as the O.T.O.

The seal of the O.T.O (Ordo Templi Orientis).

That being said, does the symbol of the All-Seeing Eye actually represent God as in the Judeo-Christian God? Well, this is where things get occult (occult means hidden). The prominent American Freemason Albert Pike wrote that the true meaning of occult symbols is only revealed to high-level initiates.

It is in its antique symbols and their occult meaning that the true secrets of Freemasonry consist. But these have no value if we see nothing in the symbols of the blue lodge beyond the imbecile pretenses of interpretations of them contained in our monitors. People have overlooked the truth that the symbols of antiquity were not used to reveal but to conceal. Each symbol is an enigma to be solved, and not a lesson to be read. How can the intelligent Mason fail to see that the blue degrees are but preparatory, to enlist and band together the rank and file Masonic army for purposes undisclosed to them, that they are the lesser mysteries in which the symbols are used to conceal the truth? Albert Pike, Legenda and Readings of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry

Manly P. Hall, another prominent Freemason wrote that the All-Seeing Eye esoterically represents the ultimate goal of occultism: To attain divinity through ones own means. This is done through the activation of the pineal gland the Third Eye.

Operative Masonry, in the fullest meaning of that term, signifies the process by which the Eye of Horus is opened. In the human brain there is a tiny gland called the pineal body, which is the sacred eye of the ancients, and corresponds to the third eye of the Cyclops. Hall, Op. Cit.

In Islam

In Islamic eschatology, the end-times figure named Al-Mas ad-Dajjal (the false messiah, liar, the deceiver) is said to be blind in his right eye. By pretending to be the Messiah, the Dajjal would deceive and take over the world. For these reasons, the Dajjal bears great similarities with the Antichrist in Christianity.

The coming of the Dajjal would be preceded by several signs such as: People will stop offering the prayers; dishonesty will be the way of life; falsehood will become a virtue; people will mortgage their faith for worldly gain; usury and bribery will become legitimate; there will be acute famine at the time; there will be no shame amongst people; many people will worship Satan; there will be no respect for elderly people and people will start killing each other without any reason.

The Modern One-Eye Sign

Considering the fact that the world today is ruled by what we call the occult elite (because of its ties with occult orders), it is no surprise that its main symbol is found everywhere. However, it is all done in a deceitful way. Todays entertainment industry thrives on control, manipulation, and distortion. It is also all about debasing the masses from everything that is true, pure and healthy. Today, the symbol of the All-Seeing Eye is now about a select group of people oppressing, monitoring and controlling the world population.

George Orwells book 1984 is a blueprint for elite control and censorship. Appropriately enough, nearly all editions feature an All-Seeing Eye.

While the All-Seeing Eye is esoterically associated with the opening of the Third Eye to attain spiritual illumination, the One-Eye sign made by celebrities is about the exact opposite: Hiding and incapacitating an eye. The symbolism of this gesture is powerful.

Katy Perry hiding one eye with the Eye of Horus in her video Dark Horse.

When you hide one eye, you effectively block half of your vision. In symbolic terms, you become half-blind to the truth. By hiding one eye, celebrities symbolically sacrifice a vital part of their being for temporary material gain. And, since eyes are the windows to the soul, this gesture symbolizes the partial or total loss of ones soul.

In Mind Control

The One-Eye sign is also an important symbol in the occult elites secret obsession: Monarch mind control. Known by many as project MKULTRA, mind control aims to turn humans into slaves through abuse, trauma, and programming. There is an actual culture revolving around Monarch mind control, complete with its own universe of symbols. And the One-Eye sign is part of it.

This is a painting by Kim Noble, a survivor of trauma-based mind control. This painting is called The Naming and relates to the naming of an alter persona.

This painting named I-Test also visually describes the trauma and programming of an MK slave.

Proof of Absolute Control by the Occult Elite

The omnipresence of the One-Eye sign in mass media also serves another purpose: It proves that all outlets of mass media are owned by a very small, elite group. Indeed, in order to have the same exact sign appear consistently and repeatedly across all media platforms and across the world, there needs to be a centralized source of power that forcibly makes this happen.

Think about the amount of money, power, and influence that is required to have all of these celebrities perform this specific gesture in videos and photoshoots. Now, ponder on the amount money, power, and influence that is required to have this specific sign plastered across magazine covers, movie posters, music videos and anything else that might reach the eyes of the masses.

In short, this symbol represents the global elite and all of its agenda: The debasing of the human psyche, the promotion of satanism, the normalization mind control, the normalization of transhumanism, the blurring of genders and more. The ultimate goal: Straying the masses as far away as possible from Truth, health, and balance.

In Conclusion

The symbol of the eye is an archetype that transcends time and space. Perhaps because humans instinctually respond to gazing eyes, there is something about that symbol that is jarring yet fascinating. While, in ancient times, the symbol of the All-Seeing Eye was often equated with the sun god, it gradually became a symbol of the power of the secret societies that shaped history in the last centuries.

Nowadays, the entertainment industry revels in the twisting and corruption of powerful symbols in the pursuit of its debasing agenda. The omnipresence of the One-Eye sign now symbolizes the omnipresence of the occult elite. It is them saying: Look at who we control.

That being said, there is a silver lining here. The One-Eye sign is a convenient way of identifying media to avoid because it is most likely drenched in the occult elites debasing agenda.

The All Seeing Eye and the Occult Meaning - Exposing Satanism

What is Satanism? Is it full of Devil-worshiping maniacs who sacrifice children? Not exactly. True, there have been several Satanic cults that have performed terrible deeds, but like any other religion, Satanism can be divided into several different branches and sects. The most famous form of Satanism is Anton LaVeys Church of Satan in San Francisco. They are not literal believers, and Satan simply represents the adversary to traditional Christian values, e.g. indulgence vs. abstinence or revenge vs. turning the other cheek.

However, there are many other forms of Satanism that havent quite achieved the same fame as the Church of Satan. Some of them are atheistic like LaVeys version, while others do see the Devil as a literal being. Some of them have received some mainstream attention, but others have remained extremely obscure. Regardless, followers of the Left-Hand Path have devised many ways to express their own version of Satanism. Here are just a few.

The Satanic Temple is an organization that probably wouldnt fit most peoples idea of what a Satanist is. After all, their goals are to encourage benevolence and empathy and embrace practical common sense and justice. Much like Anton LaVeys version of Satanism, the Satanic Temple doesnt actually believe in or worship Satan. They see him as a symbola rebellious figure against tyranny and authority.

Regardless of their lack of belief, the Satanic Temple considers itself to be a religion and believes that religion should be based on science and critical thinking rather than supernatural or superstitious claims. To them, Satanism provides them with everything that a religion should providea sense of identity, symbolic practices, and a community of those with similar beliefs.

The Satanic Temple has gained notoriety by pushing the boundaries of free speech and having a go at fundamentalist Christians. The group is most famous for trying to erect a statue of Baphomet in Detroit because the city had approved a statue of the Ten Commandments. The logic was that if Christians were allowed to publicly profess their religion, then they should, as well.

After the Hobby Lobby decision, which allows religious organizations to opt out of providing birth control, the Satanic Temple decided to use their own status as a religion to challenge US laws. They claimed that informed consent laws, which require doctors to share state-approved information to a woman before she has an abortion, violate their religious beliefs because some of the shared information has been deemed unscientific by the members.

The Satanic Temple also held a Pink Mass in 2013 at the grave site of Fred Phelpss mother. Phelps is the head of the Westboro Baptist Church, an extremist Christian group that is notorious for their opposition to homosexuality. The Pink Mass involved gay couples kissing in order to make Phelpss mother gay in the afterlife.

Luciferians are rather similar to LaVeyan Satanists. Most of them are nonreligious and simply treat Lucifer as a symbol. The 11 Luciferian Points of Power, provided by the Greater Church of Lucifer, illustrate how Lucifer represents values like self-determination and liberation from slave mentality. In this regard, Luciferianism falls closer to a philosophy rather than an actual religion. The Neo-Luciferian Church states that Luciferianisms core goal is to help people take responsibility for [their] own life and act as an individual moral agent, using the full potential of [their] own genius and thereby optimizing [their] own possibilities.

Luciferians also see Lucifer as being a completely different entity than Satan. The Greater Church of Lucifer states that the word Lucifer (meaning Light Bearer or Morning Star) existed far before Christianity and that translations and interpretations have changed over time to equate Lucifer and Satan as one being.

Perhaps the greatest difference between Luciferians and LaVeyan Satanists is that Lucifer (the Light Bearer) is a symbol of knowledge, while Satan (the Adversary) represents carnality and opposition. The Greater Church of Lucifer compares the story of Adam and Eve to the Hellenistic story of Prometheus. In this story, Prometheus brings forbidden fire to humanity and teaches them how to harness it for their own good. For this, Prometheus is punished by Zeus. This is not unlike the Biblical story of how the snake tempts Adam and Eve into eating from the forbidden Tree of Life.

The ultimate goal of Luciferianism is to help each individual ignite their inner Black Flame and become self-aware. Luciferianists are called to question everything, overcome their own ignorance, and balance their carnal desires with their intellect.

Christian-based Duotheism is a very small fragment of theistic Satanism, according to polytheistic Satanist Diane Vera. This form of Satanism accepts that Christian theology is true and that there is an ongoing war between God and Satan. The main difference is that these Satanists are cheering on the Devil rather than God. They believe that God and Satan are the two most powerful beings in the universe and that Satan has enough power to eventually overpower God and win the war.

Vera claims that the idea of duotheism and warring gods comes from ancient Zoroastrian beliefs about the eternal war between Ahura Mazda, the God of Light, and Ahriman, the God of Darkness. Some of these Satanists see the Devil as being the good guy rather than the bad guy, as he is the one who has given humans knowledge and freedom while God wants to keep humans as slaves. In this sense, Christian-based Duotheism is an inverted form of Christianity. Satan is the hero, liberating humanity from an evil and tyrannical God.

Anti-Cosmic Satanism, also called Chaos-Gnosticism, believes that the cosmic order created by God is nothing more than a grand fabrication, and behind that illusion is an endless and formless chaos. One practitioner of this form of Satanism is an occultist author who goes by the name of Vexior 218. In an interview, Vexior explained that he did believe in an all-powerful god called the Demiurge, who has been interpreted as Odin in Norse religion and God in Christianity. He created restrictionstime, space, and fleshto bound our otherwise free spirits. This is where figures like Loki and Satan come in. They are rebels against the Demiurges tyrannical rule and aim to destroy his control. Other anti-cosmic gods might include Tiamat, Baal, Asmodeus, Lilith, and more.

This form of Satanism, much like its other non-LaVeyan variants, is very obscure and unfortunately hard to find much information on. Its most well-known member was Jon Nodtveidt of the black metal band Dissection which weve mentioned before. He was a member of the Temple of Black Light, once called the Misanthropic Luciferian Order, an organization with the goal of destroying the order of the Demiurge and bringing the universe back to the chaos that was originally there. The Temple used many invocations to various deities and beings, especially Lilith.

Transcendental Satanism is a very unique form of Satanism created by a man named Matt The Lord Zane. As he documented in the first few pages of his book Transcendental Satanism, he took LSD and had a vision of Satan being cast from Heaven, followed by another vision of a man making a pact with Satan before the man was even born. The man would avoid Hell by doing Satans bidding but would have no knowledge of making such a deal throughout his lifetime. Instead, he would help lead others to Hell while being under the delusion that he was actually doing Gods work. Zane said:

Satan wanted him to experience everything the world had to offer and to create his own beliefs rather than accepting the beliefs of God. The mans journeys would lead to a plethora of experience, which would inspire others to act in a way that would be in opposition to the will of God and cause them to create a separation. I see this separation as the Hell that people were being led to. The story wasnt a warning about eternal damnation but one of spiritual evolution.

Transcendental Satanism is exactly thata form of spiritual evolution with the end goal of the individual reuniting with what is called a Satanic Aspect. The Satanic Aspect is a hidden part of the self separated from consciousness. It influences us by helping to cultivate our consciousness. The paths to each individuals Satanic Aspect are many, and nobody is required to go down the path that is laid out to them.

Demonolatry quite literally means the worship of demons, though modern demonolators do not actually worship demons. Instead, they work with demons, as each demon is seen as a force or energy that can be called upon to aid in rituals or magic. Traditional demonolators actually do worship demons that personify their own attributes.

Its important to note that not all demonolators are necessarily Satanists, though they certainly can be. Each demonolator chooses their own patron deity, and they are certainly free to choose Satan, who represents the element of fire. However, there are many demons of different religions to choose from.

Demonolators have three different possible interpretations of demons. The first is that they are like the ones in Christianityevil sinners and tempters. The second is what traditional demonolators believethat demons are personified forces of energy. The third interpretation is that demons are gods in their own right as Demon means divine power. Regardless, demonolators believe that their practice will not result in any sort of perdition or divine punishment, as these are merely perpetuated myths handed down from a religion long past its prime.

The Temple of Set was founded by LaVeys former right-hand man Michael Aquino, who left the Church of Satan after LaVey had started to sell priesthood offices. The idea that LaVey would profit from the Church of Satan caused many members, including high priestess Lilith Sinclair, who eventually became Aquinos wife, to resign from the church. Aquino and other defectors helped form the Temple of Set, which developed very different philosophies from the Church of Satan.

While LaVeyan Satanists dont believe in any sort of god or deity, Setians believe in a suprapersonal entity known as Set. Set is the Egyptian god of violence and disorder, who eventually became known as the god of darkness and the enemy of all other Egyptian gods. In other words, Set is the original Satanist: the god against all false, man-imagined gods.

LaVeyan Satanists believe that each member is their own personal god, and they seek to ascend to godhood. The goal of Setians is to achieve xeper, an Egyptian word that roughly means I have come into being. Setians believe that each person goes through a divine experience at some point or another and that it is possible to create more divine experiences through self-development, magic, and other means until the Setian finally achieves a level of godhood. This is the ultimate purpose of man.

The Satanic Reds dont believe in Satan in the traditional sense but rather view him as a dark force that has existed since the beginning of time. Tani Jantsang, one of Satanic Reds most prominent figures, believes that the origin of the word Satan comes from two pre-Sanskrit words: sat, the word for the boundless darkness, and tan, which describes how this force stretches out and permeates into all things. In other words, sat means being, and tan means becoming. Whether or not this is the true root of the word Satan is unknown.

The Law of the Tan describes how sat is infused into every being. Each creature is connected to its own parents, and these connections form an intricate web that goes back to the beginning of life. They all follow their nature and are naturally at peace with their own chakra flow. The Nine Satanic Postulates expand on these beliefs, saying that each being is motivated by an inner force to constantly change and evolve according to its environment.

Those who go against their own nature are called Kipploths. According to the Satanic Reds, someone disrespecting what another person or creature is or turning against themselves is an act of evil:

The disrespect for what another creature IS, is a violation of ALL principles of life. [...] Disrespect means to NOT HONOR what another creature is. Or a human not respecting WHAT another human of another type IS. This disrespect is EVIL, it is like a war against the Great Darkness and it is thus, a war against the Self. The Dark Breath in that other person is the SAME Dark Breath that is in the offender. And, the Dark Breath CAN withdraw leaving a shell.

Polytheistic Satanism is exactly what it sounds likethe belief in many gods as opposed to just one god. The most famous polytheistic Satanist organization is the Church of Azazel, which is a New York Citybased group open to all Satanists, occultists, and followers of the Left-Hand Path. They revere several distinct deities.

The Church of Azazel focuses on what they call the rising gods of the modern WestSatan/Azazel, Lilith, Prometheus, Ishtar, Pan, and Lucifer-of-Sophia. (Sophia was a Gnostic goddess who had many parallels with the story of Lucifer, along with the story of Adam and Eve.) All of these gods have been demonized by Abrahamic religions, yet they represent values and principles that the Church of Azazel strongly identifies with and social trends that are disliked by the religious right. For example, Prometheus represents knowledge and understanding, and Ishtar represents nature and sexuality. Most importantly, Satan is the one who encourages free thinking by challenging and questioning dogma.

The Church of Azazel doesnt worship any gods in the traditional sense. Rather, they pay reverence and respect toward their gods and often feel drawn to one or more of them. They are also rather agnostic, knowing that the realm of the gods will never be completely knowable to mankind, and therefore follow what is called a here-and-now philosophy. The Church of Azazel does believe that the gods might manifest themselves within human affairs, particularly in social, economic, and religious trends.

There is, surprisingly, a small religion that mixes the writings of H.P. Lovecraft with Satanism, black magic, and the Left-Hand Path. This is known as the Cult of Cthulu. Venger Satanis, the cults founder, acknowledges that many people dont accept Lovecrafts writings as reality, to which he responds: There is no reality. What the human mind calls reality does not exist. Satanis claims that everyone is locked inside a paradigm called Generally Accepted Reality, and he has the power to shape his own reality according to his own will.

Long ago, I chose to believe in Cthulhu, Satan, Nyarlathotep, Yog Sothoth, and the Tsalal, he writes. My belief gives these gelatinous, winged, blasphemous, and sickeningly undulant fiends power.

The Cult of Cthulu claims that the Old Ones resided over the Earth countless ages ago and that they spread their dark, forbidden, and arcane knowledge to humans. The Lesser Gods were chained and whipped, and their spilled blood created the universe. Some of the surviving Lesser Gods managed to break free and banish the Old Ones.

The Cult of Cthulu sees the Old Ones in the same way that many other Satanists see Lucifer, as beings that wished to bring knowledge and free humanity from enslavement. The Cult of Cthulu believes that the vast majority of human beings will live their lives trapped in the Generally Accepted Reality, and their suffering gives energy to the Lesser Gods. The only way to break free is to awaken and achieve True Consciousness. The Greater Reality that lies within each Cthulu Cultist goes by many namesthe black flame, the mark of Satan, the gift of Set, or the call of Cthulu.

All evil godsCthulu, Satan, Loki, etc.are thought to be merely extensions of the formless black essence that is underneath Generally Accepted Reality. These gods can be thought of as real or symbolic; it doesnt matter how one chooses to interpret them. They all represent the concept of self-empowerment, the cults highest law.

10 Forms Of Satanism That Exist Around The World - Listverse

In 1971, Frank Zappa was asked by journalist Howard Smith what he made of audiences becoming increasingly political, to which Zappa replied in trademark fashion: Its superficial, its as superficial as their music consciousness. Its just another aspect of being involved in the actions of their peer group.

When pressed for more details and whether he hadnt noticed any changes coming from the political movements that began to entwine with his music, he replied, Sure, Ive noticed a lot of changes, but I think theyre temporary changes. Any change for the good is always subject to cancellation, upon the arrival of the next fad.

That dialogue, in a nutshell, encapsulates large swathes of whatZappas personawas all about. He never seemed to be in the music business, merely playing with its participants whilst masquerading as a rock star. He was shrewd, erudite and often inscrutably ironic.

In that same interview where he dismisses political movements as a fad hes asked whether a woman could ever be part of his band, I dont think theres a girl around, he says, That could fit in with what we do, unbeknownst to the interviewer the multi-instrumentalist Ruth Underwood was pretty much a fully-fledged member at that stage.

This playful zest and fierce intelligence reflected on his music. It was very much his own thing, but he himself was like a giant arty sponge.The term genre-defying is perhaps overused, in part because some people get so pernickety about categorisation that avoiding it offers a safe way to navigate the genre-classified terrain, yet theres scarcely any artists out there more befitting of the term than Zappa.

His music prides itself on non-conformity as did his character; for instance, contrary to how he may look, he was actually an ardent anti-drug advocate. But in all other areas, he was determined to meddle in the murk and retrieve whatever he could. In short, your music simply cant sound like Zappas unless you have an electric mix of influences. This didnt just apply to the percussion-heavy modern-classical music he loved, or the doo-wop that he adored, but also the literature that stirred him.

Back in 2016, large assets of his estate were put up for sale, including a collection of Crowleyana and occult books. The description for the lot up for auction reads as follows: A collection of esoteric philosophy books previously owned by Frank and Gail Zappa, includingZnuz is Znees: Memoirs of a Magicianby C.F. Russell (self published, 1970);The Book of Wisdom or Folly, in the Form of an Epistle of 666 the Great and Wild Beast to His Son 777 by Aleister Crowley (West Point, CA: Thelema Publishing, 1962) with an inscription in blue ink to the prelim To Frank, I would be a slave to the slave, of your genius, neither tempting, nor restricting. You are, by far, the brightest star. No shadows shall remain.

The rousing list of spooky reams continues,Satanism in Americaby Shawn Carlson and Gerald Larue (El Cerrito, CA: Gaia Press, 1989) with a typed letter to Frank Zappa on Satanism in America letterhead, suggesting the book may be of use in Zappas fight against music censorship, signed by the author; andLaments of Mulciber the Isagogeby Benjamin A. Franklin (Detroit: Society of the Isagoge, 1973) inscribed in black ink to the front endpaper To Frank, from Andrew Flame the Lucifer.

Needless to say, the man had an interest in the occult. His fascination, however, is delineating as such in his remark, The only difference between a cult and a religion is the amount of real estate they own. But he nevertheless saw the need to explore, as he once said, A mind is like a parachute, it doesnt work unless its open.

False Positive is a psychological horror film that revolves around Lucia Lucy Martin (Ilana Glazer), a New York-based young woman who has been trying to have a child through natural methods for two years. When her husband Adrian (Justin Theroux) suggests that they should visit his former teacher Dr. John Hindle (Pierce Brosnan), one of the leading fertility doctors in the world, she reluctantly agrees. Shortly after she is artificially inseminated, Lucy discovers that she is pregnant. Meanwhile, she finds success in her work life and thinks that she can be one of those women who has everything.

However, around this time, Lucy starts having disturbing dreams and hallucinations and believes that Hindle is responsible for her strange situation. Amidst growing paranoia, self-doubt, and fear, she begins investigating what is happening to her. The film offers a detailed view of some of the malpractices that regularly go on in the mainstream healthcare sector. If that has made you wonder whether False Positive is inspired by true events, this is what you need to know.

No, False Positive is not based on a true story. The film has reportedly been described as a modern rendition of Roman Polanskis 1968 film Rosemarys Baby, which itself is an adaptation of the 1967 namesake novel by Ira Levin. Ilana Glazer, who essays the lead role of Lucy in False Positive, worked closely with director John Lee in developing the screenplay. During this modernization process, several elements from the original film were discarded, such as Satanism, and were replaced with in-depth explorations of themes like alienation and paranoia.

While False Positive is not an adaptation of real-life events, it faithfully depicts certain malpractices that happen to an alarming degree in the healthcare sector. In the films climactic scene, Hindle is revealed to have impregnated his patients with his own sperms. It may be hard to believe, but this has become dangerously common in the US and beyond. One such case involves Cecil Jacobson, who gained notoriety in the late 1980s and early 1990s after being accused of using his own sperms instead of an anonymous donor as promised to impregnate several of his patients.

Cecil Jacobson was also accused of telling his patients that they were pregnant when they werent. In March 1992, the then-fertility specialist was found guilty by a federal jury on 52 counts of fraud and perjury and received a 5-year prison sentence. Furthermore, his medical license was made invalid. According to DNA tests, Jacobson had fathered at least 15 children. The prosecutors charge sheet alleges that the number was even higher, 75.

The apparent similar indiscretions of another fertility specialist, Dr. Quincy Fortier, inspired the HBO documentary film Baby God. This heinous act has also been portrayed in other fictional projects besides False Positive. In Foxs short-lived drama series Almost Family, Timothy Hutton plays fertility doctor Leon Bechley, who fathered at least 100 children this way. Ultimately, False Positive is an inherently feminist film, and it deals with societal issues directly and unflinchingly. However, it is not inspired by any particular real-life incident.

Satanism is a modern, largely non-theistic religion based on literary, artistic and philosophical interpretations of the central figure of evil. It wasnt until the 1960s that an official Satanic church was formed by Anton LaVey.

Prior to the 20th Century, Satanism did not exist as a real organized religion but was commonly claimed as real by Christian churches. These claims surfaced particularly when persecuting other religious groups during events like the Inquisition, various witch hysterias in Europe and Colonial America and the Satanic Panic of the 1980s.

The Christian figure of Satan is viewed as a horned, red, demonic human figure with a pointy tail and sometimes hooves. To Christians, sinners are sent to his domainhellafter death. Hell is described as an underground world dominated by fire and Sadistic demons under Satans command.

Satans first appearance wasnt in Christianity. He began as the Zoroastrian Devil figure of Angra Mainyu or Ahriman, which opposed the Zoroastrian creator god and tempted humans. Satan is later portrayed in Jewish Kabbalism, which presents him as a demon who lives in a demonic realm.

The name Satan first appeared in the Book of Numbers in the Bible, used as a term describing defiance. The character of Satan is featured in the Book of Job as an accusing angel. In the apocryphal Book of Enoch, written in the first century B.C., Satan is a member of the Watchers, a group of fallen angels.

Later established as a nemesis of Jesus Christ in the New Testament, the final book of the Bible, Revelations, depicts him as the ultimate evil. Its the Christian figure of Satan that Satanism directly references.

In his 14th-century poem Inferno, Dante captured centuries of Christian belief by portraying Satan as an evil monster. But the Romantics of the 17th century recast him as an admirable and magnetic rebel, an anti-hero defying Gods authoritarianism. John Miltons epic 1667 poem Paradise Lost is the pivotal text for establishing this interpretation in creative works. William Godwins 1793 treatise An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice later gave Miltons depiction political legitimacy.

The most enduring Satanic symbol was created by occult author liphas Lvi. Lvi describes him as the horned goat deity Baphomet, in his 1854 book Dogme et Rituel, which linked Baphomet with Satan.

Probably a French misinterpretation of Muhammed, Baphomet was the deity the Knights Templar were accused of worshipping in trials in the 14th century.

Baphomet, a Pagan deity revived in the 19th century as a figure of occultism and Satanism.

The last half of the 19th century saw a resurgence in the view of Satan as anti-hero. This was thanks to works like Italian poet Giosu Carduccis anti-papal Hymn To Satan and William Blakes illustrations for Paradise Lost in 1888.

In his own book The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Blake presented Satan as a messiah. Around the same time, Theosophical Society founder Madame Blavatsky wrote about Satan as a commendable insurgent offering humans wisdom.

Artists in the Decadent movement like Flicien Rops placed Satanic imagery in paintings, influenced by writers like Baudelaire and Poe. Satan was also employed in writings from socialist leaders like Mikhail Bakunin and Karl Marx.

Polish author Stanisaw Przybyszewski wrote two books about Satan in 1897, one fiction and one non-fiction. Przybyszewskis Satan was an anarchist with a comprehensive philosophy that was similar to modern Satanism. Przybyszewskis young acolytes called themselves Satans Kinder.

Legendary occultist Aleister Crowley viewed Satan symbolically. His 1913 poem A Hymn to Lucifer celebrated the Devil as the provider of soul and rebellion to the universe. Crowleys ideas were influential in Satanism.

One offshoot from Crowleys crowd was the German group Fraternitas Saturni in 1926. Its founder Gregor A. Gregorius wrote Satanische Magie, which borrowed heavily from the Romantics and adopted Satan within the groups astrological system. Fraternitas Saturni still exists and Gregorius writing has been used in Satanist practice.

Sometime between 1957 and 1960, Anton Lavey, a former carnival worker and musician, held night classes in the occult. Regular attendees eventually formed the Church of Satan.

These sessions were mostly discussion-based but on April 30, 1966, the group formalized as the Church of Satan and the meetings became more ritual-based, incorporating theatrics, costuming and music. Lavey became known as the Black Pope.

The Churchs early recruiting efforts included the short-lived Topless Witches Revue nightclub show, featuring Susan Atkins, who would later join the Manson Family.

Laveys Satanic Bible was published in 1969, bringing together Laveys personal mix of black magic and occult concepts, secular philosophy and rationalism and anti-Christian ridicule into essays stressing human autonomy and self-determination in the face of an indifferent universe. The Satanic Bible gave the church a national reputation and served as a strong vehicle for its significant growth.

Ohio barber and part-time spiritual medium Herbert Sloan claimed in 1969 that he started the first Satanist organization, the Our Lady of Endor Coven of the Ophite Cultus Sathanas, in 1948. Sloane described his group as focused on the metaphysical aspects of Satan and offered service, communion and coffee and donuts socializing afterward. To compete with Laveys offerings, he added naked women to the meetings.

The Order of Nine Angles formed in England in the 1970s to practice an occult-focused Satanism and the more recent Joy of Satan which wraps UFO conspiracies and anti-Semitism into their Satanism.

As the Church of Satan grew in size, internal rifts developed, leading some members split off to start their own branches.

One expelled church member, Wayne West, formed the First Occultic Church of Man in 1971. Newsletter editor Michael Aquino left to form the Temple of Set in 1975, and plenty others followed. As proof of Satanisms growth, the U.S. Army included the faith in its manual for chaplains Religious Requirements and Practices beginning in 1978.

The next decade brought in newer denominations like the Luciferian Children of Satan, founded by Marco Dimitri in Italy in 1982. Dimitri was convicted of child abuse but was later cleared.

Later Satanic groups include the Order of the Left-Hand Path, a New Zealand group founded in1990 that mixed Satanism with Nietzschean philosophy, and the Satanic Reds. The Satanic Reds formed in 1997 in New York, and combined Satanism with socialism and Lovecraftian conceptsa subgenre of horror fiction.

The 1980s Satanic Panic saw Christian fundamentalists push the idea that Satanic cults were systematically abusing children in rituals and committing widespread murder, and successfully convince the general public through sensational news coverage. Christian groups typically misrepresented the Churchs beliefs and practices in order to fabricate a real-world villain behind the conspiracy for the media.

Serial killer Richard Ramirez, when finally captured in 1985, claimed to be a Satanist, employing Satanic symbolism to his look and claiming to know Lavey, adding fuel to the fire of the panic. Lavey claimed they had briefly met in the streets in the 1970s, but Ramirez had never set foot in the church.

The panic escalated, with Satanic Ritual Abuse becoming a standard aspect of high profile cases like the McMartin School in California. These criminal cases featured a consistent lack of evidence and alleged coercion on the part of child psychologists pushing the conspiracy theory. The zeal of the fundamentalists led to few if any investigations or prosecutions of actual Satanists. Most of the victims of the frenzy were other Christians.

The Church of Satan weathered the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and 90s, with Lavey keeping a calm and low profile despite media attention. But the group faced challenges after Laveys death in 1997. Leadership went to Laveys partner Blanche Barton after a legal battle with his children. In 2001 Barton appointed author and Church member Peter H. Gilmore as high priest and his wife, church administrator Peggy Nadramia, as high priestess. Gilmores controversial claims that Church of Satan members were the only true Satanists led to a new wave of exoduses that saw departing church members creating their own offshoots.

Former Order of the Nine Angles member and heavy metal musician Michael Ford formed the Greater Church of Lucifer in 2013, opening the first public Satanic Temple in Houston two years later. The GCL follows many LaVeyan principles with touches of the occult and has chapters in other countries.

The most successful result of church divisions is The Satanic Temple. It first gained attention in 2013 with a satirical rally against Florida Governor Rick Scott, but grew into a more organized group quickly.

Cofounders Lucien Greaves and Malcolm Jarry characterized the Temples creation as a reaction to the Church of Satans inability to manifest itself into a real-world relevant organization.

Calling itself a non-theistic religion embracing the Devil as a symbolic form of rebellion in the tradition of Milton, the Temple devoted itself to political action focused on the separation of church and state, religious equality and reproductive rights.

The Satanic Temple gained notoriety through two attempts to have a statue of Baphomet legally placed on two state capitol groundsOklahoma in 2015 and in Arkansas in 2018in reaction to government-sanctioned 10 Commandments monuments.

The Temple launched a physical location in Salem, Massachusetts, in 2016 and was recognized as a religion by the U.S. government in 2019, receiving tax-free status. It has grown to include about 20 temples across North America and was the focus of Penny Lanes acclaimed 2019 documentary, Hail Satan? which is credited for giving Satanism its highest profile yet.
