IN THIS EPISODE: The horror entertainment industry would make you think that Satan is everywhere, controlling world leaders, possessing church pastors, inhabiting the bodies of kids who play with Ouija boards, even somehow controlling your children’s dolls or other toys… all in the name of the Lord Lucifer. Ironically, Satan is only mentioned a handful of times in the bible, despite what you’ve been led to believe by Hollywood. The image of Satan we typically envision is actually not from the bible at all, but from a poem. Most Satanists, despite the clever name, don’t openly worship the devil. And while I do believe in Satan and the danger he poses – I believe we are giving him way too much credit for some things – especially some of the conspiracy theories people believe, or blaming him for when we do bad things, (i.e., “the devil made me do it!”). That being said, there are some areas that you have to wonder if perhaps he truly did place his crooked finger upon in order to insert his evil influence. What does Satan look like? What’s the meaning of 666? Do people really kill in the name of Satan? Are some places or objects somehow under a Satanic influence? We have a lot to cover.

Good evening fellow weirdos! Have a good night! ❤
🌟🌟
Didn't the 👽 start arriving late 1800's when everyone had a spirit board even the White house had one??? Wat did God say about doing that. Makes U think. Yes they do blood sacrifice for the devil and he looks like a angel of light he was God's favourite and he was the best musical angel in heaven too. ❤🙏🇦🇺
I remember this being all over the news when it happened. I was about 11 at the time.
Satanists’ don’t worship the devil?! 🤔 Hmmm… Well someone better tell Webster’s dictionary because they seem to think it’s a person who worships the devil.
This was based on a case in CA about the mcmartin preschool where there was proof that the children were taken below ground in underground tunnels and sexually abused
It was literally and figuratively covered up and called part of a hysteria but it was based on real creeps into Satanism
GOOD MORNING WEIRDOS 🙏🏻
The whole Panic hit hard over here in the Bridgewater triangle / Hockomock swamp Alot of history in this area . 🙏🏻
This is great and it's really good to hear from a Christian who actually really knows their bible and the history of their religion 👍
I love the macabre and your pumpkins and creepy devil like pics are PERFECT,,,, now I give my age away as I so remember this awfully stunning and idiocy that a handful of people with nothing better todo😈😈😈😈. Some people just needed a few minutes to create a spiral wreaking way too may lives. Hope the RCMP, FBI, doctors, teachers, parents, children ……… etc as truly should be an extensive investigation and list of so many innocent and yes even guilty.
Terrible to insinuate that people are guilty way way before full investigations are conducted. This ruined way too my loves. UGLY, and unnecessary . Why is everything so that is so ugly seemingly related to a church or religion?……..
Great story thank you very much❤
Poor old Morningstar, he gets blamed for everything.
I don't remember where it is but I once Saw a Painting of the Devil, Lucifer as an Angel as an Angel in a Blue Dress
When I Draw the Devil I usually combine the Pitchfork, Trident with His Tail
Does the Bible actually refer to the Serpent in the Garden of Eden as a Snake?
It is Cursed to Crawl on it's Belly but surely there are other Animals that Walk with their Bellies touching the Ground
Thankyou Darren 🖤 🖤
There was a legitimate uptick in satanic ritual violence because of the new age movement of the 60s and 70s. Our government spends billions of dollars defending us from radical Islamic terror but you’re way more likely to be killed by a satanist.
Finders Cult
Jimmy Saville
Richard Ramirez
Adolfo Constanzo
Ricky Kasso
Chicago Ripper Crew
Fall River Cult
…. Satanic Ritual Violence was in fact way way way more prevalent at one point in time.
Thank you for the history lesson , I learned something I've never heard about. How the devil changed over time. You did an amazing job . I'm so impressed with how you put so much in a story. Just fascinating!!!
They don't have to brand you or place a microchip in you. Look to your smart phone it's already in there. If you don't have a smart phone there's a government program to give you one.
It was around the world, Scotland, New Zealand, and all the testimony from pre-schoolers was remarkably similar. How such could spread to so many little children
We should not only read the Bible with a theological point of view, but also in its historical context.
Good boost for heavy metal 🤘
This is an amazing presentation!! It is very well put together, with an obvious amount of research, and knowledge. I hung on every word. Thanks alot for all you do, I enjoy every episode, butbthis one really caught my attention, and kept it to the very end.
Its happening again!!! 🙄
One heavy metal band demonized for being satanic is Iron Maiden cause the song number of the beast, it's not and neither are they it's about revelations most of their songs are about history or literature more scholars then Satanist.
