Remarkably, the Los Angeles Times has published an article
inferring that President Trump is somehow responsible for the increasing
national interest and participation in Satanism.* The piece claims that
feminists in particular- and other disenfranchised souls, as well- are flocking
to Satanism to find empowerment and express their resistance to the president
and his policies.
Did
frustrated, marginalized conservatives look to Satanism in the Clinton and
Obama years? Of course not. Leftists are pre-disposed to worship the
Antichrist, which is why they are typically so opposed to the display of
anything Christian.
The
article begins: “It was a great night for a heterodox generation of
new self-described Satanists who are upending old ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ and ‘Helter
Skelter’ stereotypes in service of radical politics, feminist aesthetics and
community unity in the divisive time of Trump.” Why, those Lucifer-lovers are
really bringing the community together! Unlike that divisive President Trump!
It was a magical night!
It
continues: “Given the never-ending chaos in American life, when nuclear war
seems to many to be just one juvenile presidential tweet away, a coterie of
artists are rediscovering Satanism’s imagery and rituals in a city with a long,
rich and weird history of contrarian philosophies. Traditionalists might debate
if any of it is properly ‘Satanic’ at all; this new take is much more feminist
than nihilist, flexibly self-aware and better versed in internet culture than
orthodox theology.” Neo-Satanism! That’s just what the witch-doctor ordered!
Who knew Devil-worship had a softer side?
The
article goes on to describe a candlelit basement ritual in Los Angeles, led by
Alexandra and Zachary. As spooky organ music plays, the couple preside over an
altar topped with “a bleached human skull, teeth locked in eternal rictus.”
Alexandra then lifts a sword from the altar and draws points across her
husband’s chest, turns to face the group and says: “On this altar we consecrate
swords to direct the fire of our unholy will. A human skull, symbol of death.
The great mother Lilith created us all, and will destroy us all.” The group
chants back as one: “Hail Satan! Hail Satan! Hail Satan!”
What
fun! And how inclusive! Sounds like a great team-building exercise for business
groups, too! Hard to understand how these kind of rituals didn’t go mainstream
sooner, isn’t it?
According
to numerous reports, gaggles of witches around the globe are casting spells on
the president on an almost continual basis. Being Trump, maybe he’s
reciprocating. The article actually appears to be encouraging anti-Trumpers to
join the occult, if they haven’t already. This shouldn’t be a tough sell in
California.
The
media consistently lambast the president for his defense- and embrace- of
Christianity, for his traditional views on certain matters, and for his stout,
overt support for Israel, as evidenced by his recognition of Jerusalem as that
nation’s capital. And now it claims he’s responsible for the surge in Satanism?
“Ironic” would be the polite way to define that bit of lunacy.
The Times’ story almost tenderly characterizes
the Satanic sacraments it described as merely a display of “doctrinal disputes,
favoring inclusivity, especially for women, often the losers in both
traditional religion and radical politics.”
Of this, there can be no
dispute: we are losing our minds. And our souls.
