TRIER - A television documentary about Satanism in Germany has spawned a police investigation into broadcast claims of occultists drinking the blood of innocent victims during bizarre sexual rites.
Prosecutors in Trier said Wednesday they were following up leads into "numerous illicit sex-related activities with an occult background".
"A 34-year-old woman filed a complaint which includes allegations of potentially serious violence," said Chief Prosecutor Georg J?ngling. He declined to go into details pending further investigation.
The investigation comes amid headline-making revelations in a ZDF TV network documentary on Satanism in Germany. The documentary was aired on digital Pay-TV earlier this week and was scheduled for national broadcast on ZDF Wednesday evening.
The documentary interviews self-proclaimed satanists as well as youthful members of the Goth music scene.
While some of the interviewees willingly appeared on camera and gave their names, others were filmed in shadows and their voices were disguised to protect their identities.
In the broadcast, a 36-year-old woman from Trier identified only as Steffi claims her parents were satanists who exposed her as a child to chilling rites in which blood-letting and group sexual activities were carried out with children's participation.
Some of the alleged practices were focused on the Trier area on the French border, but the documentary filmmakers denied tabloid press allegations of "an organised network of flesh-eating satanists" based in Trier.
"This is not an organised network but rather scattered groups across Germany, although admittedly some of them bear striking resemblances to each other," said filmmaker Rainer Fromm.
Fromm, who said he put two years of "very serious research" into the documentary, added, "You can dismiss all these people as just a bunch of loonies."
He said he had uncovered nearly 20 incidents of ritualised criminal activities ranging from murder to dismemberment and from blood-drinking to "snuff" videos in which victims are ritually killed on camera.
Complicating the legal circumstances, he added, is the fact that many of the incidents date back 15 years and were committed outside Germany.

Apocalypse Culture Now
by Ron Athey
Devil's advocate: Stanton LaVey is a Lifestyle Satanist.
- L.A. Weekly, MAY 31 - JUNE 6, 2002 (Photo by Anne Fishbein)
BEFORE RE/SEARCH PUBLICATIONS AND AMOK Bookstore refined the art of merchandising radical ideas such as Survival Research Labs' fighting robots or body-mutilation photos from real life and the stage, there was virtually no place to find examples of extreme culture. By the late '90s, between shock-value advertising campaigns (think United Colors of Benetton) and Internet access, it was virtually impossible to escape examples of extreme culture. However, often there's a sense of extreme simply for its own sake. Almost six months ago, the rock & roll strip of Sunset Boulevard became home to a new little shop of horrors that's trying to expand on the idea of extreme while providing a context.
At first glance, Odium is a bookshop and video store with a random collection of oddities thrown in. What Odium's founder has is a legacy, direct lineage to the prince of darkness: 24-year-old Stanton LaVey's late grandfather is Anton Szandor LaVey, who wrote The Satanic Bible and founded the Church of Satan (which in its heyday attracted such celebrities as Jayne Mansfield and Sammy Davis Jr.); his estranged mother, Zeena, is a priestess of the Temple of Set (a group formed by Church of Satan dissenters that worships an Egyptian deity); and his godfather is the experimental-film pioneer Kenneth Anger (Lucifer Rising). Stanton LaVey was raised in the infamous "Black House," where the LaVey family resided in San Francisco and held early Church of Satan meetings. No longer a member, he's held on to certain beliefs. "I'm a lifestyle Satanist. I do not practice rituals, but I'm a Satanist by default. Satan is only the metaphor. My grandfather, being a showman, used it as a scare tactic to get his point across." So forget about the pitchforks and fires of hell, LaVey Satanism focuses on the power and authority of the individual.
Stanton LaVey moved to L.A. and opened Odium with cult filmmaker and Charles Manson authority John Aes-Nihil. While LaVey admits 90 percent of his stock can be found somewhere on the Internet, he justifies it, saying: "If I could afford to keep this open as a research facility, I would. I'm taking everything everyone thought they were desensitized to, and putting it together in one place. I see the shop as an art experiment, a dissemination of information, breaking down the barriers of extremist ideas and ideals. I call it intellectual smut. Sometimes I can't separate myself from the shop."
The interior d?cor reveals as much: The walls and ceiling are covered in red fabric, a re-creation of his grandfather's private den known to inner-circle Satanists as the Red Room. The shelves are stocked with new and used black-power literature, fascist studies, serial killers' biographies, cult leaders' manifestoes, pulp fiction, and CDs by the skinhead band Screwdriver (banned from most music stores). And, of course, books on Satanism and magic. Cases and wall displays include T-shirts that read "Terrorist," Manson Family recordings, an autographed Louis Farrakhan photograph, Balinese ritual masks, Goddess Bunny film stills and Serita Vendetta's "flesh" paintings. Not so ironically, Marilyn Manson recently purchased the complete set of Sharon Tate crime-scene photos.
But it's live events that create the social structure: Odium has presented a series of performances by former Jim Rose Sideshow attraction Zamora the Torture King; Feral House publisher Adam Parfrey's Extreme Islam presentation, which featured pro-bin Laden/ anti-American posters, hats and T-shirts (an event that required armed security guards and metal detectors); and a DVD-release party for Rozz Williams' film PIG. Considering the offensive nature of Odium, there have been only a few confrontations. LaVey says, "I'm usually able to turn a situation into something humorous. Life really is absurd. Some kids grow up on Wheaties, I grew up on the occult."

Latest Messages From Above
* A group of Christian protestors disrupted a pagans' spring equinox ceremony in Lancaster, Calif., in March by blasting their car stereos to drown out the songs and chants of 300 "witches and warlocks" [misnomer]. What apparently really set off the Christians was the pagans' merry attempt at "animal sacrifice," which they accomplish by fonduing a candy bunny. When a pagan leader yelled "Sacrifice the chocolate rabbit," the Christians leaped from their cars and advanced on them, but violence was averted. [CNN-Reuters, 5-2-02]
{Blindlighters vs. Blindlighters: A bunch of weakans being quaint and cute and some sheeple getting pissy over it - hilarious. War of the lambs of god and the goddess. Again, foolosophically, I assert that weaka is another xian denomination, with jesus in drag. Turn the other 'cheek' {bottoms up!} = harm none / 3-fold {f}Law = Golden Rule, etcetera. The xians 'advanced' on them? Aaahahahahahah! Puh-leez.
Plus, The concept of humanimal and animal 'sacrifice' has been a constant part of J/x traditions, not Ours. "God" sacrificed his own son, Isaiah nearly sacrificed his son for 'God's' amusement, jews & moslems sacrifice/d animals to their blood-thirsty god/s - not Satanists. xian propagandists attempted to divert blame onto Us, but have failed, & Hellyweird & Horror Metal is just great show-business. xian devil-worshippers misunderstand Our religion & eventually return to jehovah, good riddance, whom they never really left, because of their limited dualistic natures.}
* Bishop C. Vernie Russell's Mount Carmel Missionary Baptist Church (Norfolk, Va.) has raised $340,000 from his congregation in 14 months for the specific purpose of helping randomly chosen members (59 so far) to get out of debt by having their credit-card bills paid off by the church, according to a June Wall Street Journal report. At the special, monthly "debt liquidation revival," congregants dance and chant, "stomping" the devil, who is believed to be the cause of the credit-card debt in the first place. Lucky winners must cut up their cards and attend counseling, and Russell believes "cured" borrowers are much better tithers. [Wall StreetJournal, 6-12-02]
{All this nonsense will be terminated when these leeches of x start to pay taxes and pull the weight of their cross in society. If money is the root of all evil, & a wealthy-man cannot pass through the eye of a needle much less enter the 'kingdom of god', then these xians are inviting 'the devil' into their lives by this! Damned back-woods slurring yokles. Relics. Throw-backs. This is classic transferrence of blame upon a figment of their imaginations rather than on themselves.
The 9th Satanic Statement rings true: "Satan has been the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years!" Absolutely. Hail The Black Pope and HAIL SATAN!}
* More Violence in Jerusalem: In July, Ethiopian Orthodox Christian monks brawled with monks from the Coptic Christian Church of Egypt at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (the site of Jesus' burial and resurrection) after an Egyptian on the roof moved his chair into the shade. The roof space and all other space and furniture in the church have been allocated by agreement among various Christian organizations, and the Egyptian was said to have crossed a line, provoking the Ethiopians to respond by throwing rocks, iron bars and chairs. Seven Ethiopians and four Egyptians were injured. [National Post-Reuters, 7-30-02]
{Rabid sheep! None fell off the roof? Oh well. xian apes. Savages. Pathetic hypoxian scum. The more they annihilate and battle eachother, the better. Whenever I hear of these blindlighter massacres & rioting events, it is as musick to My ears. Makes My job easier, & provides a good laugh. Ironically, a Holycaust just may be themselves finishing eachother off, which suits Me just fine, as I don't even have to get My hands dirty.}

Warning...Extremely morbid
A 17-year-old British girl took her obsession for all things
vampire way too far when she attacked a deaf pensioner in
the woman's home. The 90-year-old victim was watching tele-
vision when the teenager approached her from behind and
stabbed the woman 22 times. Then she cut the woman's heart
out, wrapped it in newspaper, and drank her blood. After
creating gashes in the woman's legs, the young girl propped
her victim up in an armchair, and as some sort of statement,
put fire pokers at the woman's feet in the shape of a cross.
{Seems pointless, but rather artistic. Also, couldn't she do better than a senior citizen, even as a first kill? Surely a young girl could have coaxed a virile victim. Anyhow, such types are vampire wannabe's - and this one has already assured herself a life of mental hospitals and imprisonment. Killing some old deaf lady is weakness - where is the thrill of the hunt? The seduction, the romance, the utter indulgence in the flesh of your belusted. Seems like she became pre-occupied with the horror-wood media depictions in fictional films, rather than what a true Vampire is.
Being a Vampire entails much more than mere blood fetishism. The super-human predator is the embodiment of the nosferatu-archetype, from mannerisms, fine taste {in aesthetic & all of life's delicacies}, one's total environment {which may include a coffin and elegant surroundings}, eloquence, charm, and the development of one's psychic & Magical abilities attributed to the Vampire - the supreme hunter. We partake of the herd for our amusement and gratification - for pleasure and profit.}

"Simply Dapper", age 6 months, won four prize ribbons at the American Fancy Rat and Mouse Association show in Costa Mesa, Calif., in May. According to a Wall Street Journal report, the rodent's "shiny beige coat, sweet temperament, and a blood line dating back 12 generations" were the main factors in his success. Contest rats have fancy names (e.g., "Himalayan" rat) but cost only a few dollars to acquire and are genetically the same as ordinary, Dumpster-diving Norwegian rats. [St. Petersburg Times-Wall Street Journal, 5-20-01]
{Quite adorable. I love rats. I have had many to make My acquiaintance - furless rats (or 'snarks', as I dubbed them), hooded rats, white rats, black rats, brown rates, and silver rats. Each have their own specific personality, and I have named them in kind. I never understood the fear of these lovable furry creatures. It seems that all the animals the masses fear or hate I have admired and kept. It seems rather obvious to Me when thinking about it. Most of the animals they despise are predators such as wolves, bats, lions, tigers, snakes, black cats, owls - carnivorous creatures that display the most noble of qualities, and are mentioned in Epinox as being reflective of The Satanic aesthetic. It is not altogether surprising that the herd feel themselves more in relation to prey animals, mostly plant-eating animals who serve as food for other animals. It is interesting to see many presentations in which animals are characters where the prey either 'outsmarts', or 'defeats', or is 'saved' from the horrible fanged lurkers of the dark and the wilderness. But this can be seen in a Jungian light, if you think about it. The Satanist recognizes that this is ridiculous, as Nature sees no moralistic dividing line between the species except that which is the law of the jungle. Foofoo the bunny rabbit or the piggies are devoured by the wolf. Bambi the deer is consumed by the lion, in all its bloody gore. The predators happily chew and tear at the flesh in a family unit, equating to a wholesome supper-time. Ergo, the family that preys together, slays together! The roadrunner always eludes Wiley Coyote. But these are cartoons, faerie-tales, unrealistic comedies, yet these depictions do provide a glimpse into the psychology of the aptly-named herd, who are inexorably attracted to the prey. I have always rooted for the villain, the natural hunter, the predator, and admired the grace by which he captures and feeds. So-called 'cutsie' creatures have evolved that way to attract the predator. And this can be seen in a crossover manner into the humanimal kingdom as well. In the human realm, we as super-human predators do not take anything against its will, but we hunt in more subtle ways, making them realize their station in life, and flowing in accordance with their natures as we do with ours. Thus, the distinction between the rubes and the leaders. Life is the hunt, and you can choose to be the predator or the prey. For he who ceases to hunt, becomes the hunted.
As for one's Infernal Progeny, I would much rather give them a plush toy of a little wolf or lion cub, or baby bat or baby snake, or even a dragon, than a bunny who is destined in nature to be eaten by a stronger and cleverer animal, whom is more relative to the psyche of a born Satanist.
As for the rats, it is amusing when I see depictions where they are equated to The Devil, or when some woman jumps up on a chair to avoid their scurrying frame. I can understand avoiding certain wild creatures and admiring them from afar, so as to respect their environment and space, and in some cases, avoid the possibility of the transmission of disease, but I have always felt more of a kinship than any kind of revilement. My animals have always found Me, and they generally come and go as they please, and some have even become familiars, yet we enjoy eachother's company from one hunter to another.}

Religious Tolerance, American Style
The new chaplain at Wisconsin's Waupun Correctional Institution is a Wiccan. The Rev. Jamyi Witch's hiring was defended by the state Department of Corrections, which says Witch -- and that is her real name -- met the job requirements, and barring her based on her faith would be illegal. "I minister to everyone's needs. I have no interest in converting anyone," she says. Another full-time chaplain at the facility is Protestant; only about a third of the inmates are Christian. Outraged State Rep. Mike Huebsch promises to strip funding for Witch's position, even though he previously argued for more chaplains in state prisons.
{Apparently, they cannot see that a weakan and a xian are quite related in their dispositions and anthropic proclivities. I would agree that this is discrimination, but in My opinion, weakans are just another xian denomination, considering the comparisons between "The Goddess / God" can be equated with "jehovah / mary", and their "white magic" attitudes of "harm none" and karma can be equated to "The Golden Rule". Being that they claim not to believe in xian deities is irrelevant, considering they carry the same basic characteristics. The word 'Witch' is misplaced in weaka, as it carries a nefarious connotation, of which weaka is decidedly not. Now they whine about wanting to be accepted by the masses, presenting a harmless disposition, veritably likened "Glenda the 'good' witch". weaka is the new xianity, and in this newage climate will probably gather more adherents to this erroniously misnomered "old religion", which in reality, the term is only about as old as the early part of the last century, mentioned as a joke by Gerald Gardner's superiors, who then ran with it. And needless to mention that the so-called "witch-burnings" were no such thing, but the victims were actually people from whom the local xian governments desired property from, or their bodies {many were raped}, and accused by disgruntled neighbors, only because they had better crops, or one disliked the other. So understandably, the weakans identify with the victim mentality, along with the misnomered "witch" titles, which seems appealing to bad bunnies seeking a rebellious identity, as in "black sheep" instead of wolves, yet desiring to stay on the "safe" side at the same time. But The Devil will take His due. I see the previous story as yet another example of the xian-type preying upon their own. ~ DB. HAIL SATAN.}
WICKED WORDS
Panglossian ´ \pan-GLOSS-ee-un\ ´ (adjective): marked by the view that all is for the best in this best of possible worlds: excessively optimistic; Pollyanna.
Example sentence: Christians have a Panglossian habit of looking at the world through rose-colored glasses.
Origins: Dr. Pangloss was the pedantic old tutor in Voltaire's satirical novel
Candide. Pangloss was an incurable, albeit misguided, optimist who
claimed
that "all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds." So
persistent was he in his optimism that he kept it even after witnessing
and
experiencing great cruelty and suffering. The name "Pangloss" comes
from the
Greek "pan," meaning "all," and "glossa," meaning "tongue," suggesting
glibness and talkativeness.
mendacious \men day' shuhs\ adjective: given to deception or falsehood; lying; untruthful; as, a mendacious person: false; untrue; as a mendacious statement
mer?toc?? [m?rri t?krssee ] (plural mer?toc??es)
noun
1. system based on ability: a social system that gives
opportunities and advantages to people on the basis of their
ability rather than, for example, wealth or seniority
2. elite group: an elite group of people who achieved their
positions on the basis of ability and accomplishment
3. leadership by elite: leadership by an elite group of

galimatias \gal i mae' shi es\ (noun) : gibberish; confused; meaningless jargon
aristophrenia \ar is" toe free' ni a\ (noun): condition of having a superior intellect
puissant ´ \PWIH-sunt or PYOO-uh-sunt\ ´ (adjective): of great force or vigor : strong, powerful
Origins: "Puissant" has some powerful ties to some more commonplace English
words.
Although "puissant" has a considerably fancier feel than "power" and
"potent," all three words share the same Latin ancestor: "posse," a
verb
meaning "to be able." "Power" came to us by way of Old French "poeir,"
which
is itself thought to have come from "potere," a Vulgar Latin alteration
of
"posse." "Potent" came from "potent-," "potens," a present participle
of
"posse." A different form of the present participle was "possent,"
which
became "puissant" in Old French. English speakers borrowed that
"puissant"
in the 15th century.

Texas Woman Awarded $300,000 in Exorcism
TEXAS - Evidently the power of prayer just isn't strong enough for this Fort Worth congregation. The pastor and several members of Pleasant Glade Assembly of God Church in Colleyville were found liable for abusing and falsely imprisoning Laura Schubert, who was 17 at the time Schubert, now 23, claimed that members of the church were attempting to perform an exorcism on her to "keep or drive demons out." She said the experience led her to mutilate herself and attempt suicide before finally seeking psychiatric treatment. David Pruessner, an attorney for the church, argued that Schubert was suffering from a mental disorder and that church members didn't harm her. The Tarrant County jury sided with Schubert and has awarded her $300,000.
Behold hypocritical xian love, & what a repressive foolosophy leads to
GUATEMALA CITY - Lent no longer tops the list for Easter
hardships. The annual Easter witch hunt began seven days prior
to Holy Week this year for Guatemalan students. The ritual
consists of 15,000 hooded students (mostly male) who publicly
strip suspected criminals, and beat them. This vigilante
pummeling, and the accompanying parade, are a sanctioned
tradition where last year more than 108 lynching attempts
took place.
WICKED WORD: draconian /drae koe' nee en\ (adjective): exceedingly harsh; very severe
SYNONYMS: severe, strict, harsh, uncompromising, relentless, oppressive, absolute, rigid, stern.
ANTONYM: lenient, flexible, tolerant, clement, merciful.
EXAMPLE SENTENCE: The draconian decision of the Roman leader both punishes the rotten and rewards the Strong.
Origin: [18th century] Draconian "excessively harsh" is a
monument to the severe code of laws drawn up in 621 BC by the
Athenian statesman Draco. Its purpose was to banish inequities
in the system which were leading at the time to rumblings and
threats of rebellion among the common people, and to an extent
it succeeded, but all it is now remembered for is its almost
pathological harshness: the most trivial infraction was
punished with death. When taxed with his laws' severity,
Draco is said to have replied "Small crimes deserve death,
and for great crimes I know of no penalty severer."
WICKED WORD: puckish \puk' ish\ (adjective): mischievous; impish
NOUN: puckishness.
ADVERB: puckishly
SYNONYMS: impish, implike, mischievous, pixilated, prankish, facetious, whimsical. kidding.
ANTONYM: innocent
Origins: [19th century] In English folklore from the late
Middle Ages onward, Puck was a mischievous but essentially
harmless sprite, up to all sorts of tricks (hence the coining
of puckish for "mischievous"). But his Anglo-Saxon ancestor
Puca was a far less pleasant proposition - for this was the
Devil himself. He gradually dwindled over the centuries, but
a hint of his former power remained in his placatory alter-
native name Robin Goodfellow. It is not known whether puca
is of Germanic or Celtic origin.
lygophilia \lie goe fil' i a\ (noun): love of darkness.
philophilosophos \fil" oe fil os' oe fes\ (adjective): fond of philosophers.
fremd \fremd\ (adjective): alien, strange, unfriendly.
