The Satanic Panic Suggested Reading List
Newly added to our downloads page is an annotated reading list concerning the years of The Satanic Panic by Autumn Sword, The Satanic Skeptic. Many of us lived through this harrowing time of urban legends which lead to Christian evangelists having captured time on many talk shows, with their sensationalist and nonsensical claims that there existed a conspiracy of “satanists” out to get your pets,…

So, Mike Warnke's The Satan Seller ends with two appendixes. One is a list of supposed reasons people get into the occult. Number nine is "the lack of governmental regulatory control over the news media, entertainment and commercial products propagating involvement interest in the occult."
Again, our boy's out here calling for government censorship on anything deemed challenging or affronting to Evangelical Christianity.
The second appendix is a list of things Christians can supposedly do to fight the occult, which includes:
A. Write Letters—Write to your Congressman and Senators. Also write to your state legislators for they read every letter and frequently take action. Tell them what is going on and ask them to help. Write to your newspaper. Tell them what is happening and why you object to it. Keep your letters around two hundred to three hundred words. Remember the Letters to the Editor section of daily newspapers is one of the best-read sections of the paper. Also write to radio and TV stations about the problem. B. Use Your Telephone—Call your newspaper editor and ask him to investigate the occult activities in your city. Also call your radio and television station and ask them to investigate too. Check to see if your Congressman or your state legislator has an office in your city and call him or his secretary to ask for a similar investigation. Call your city and county officials and ask them to take action on local problems with the occult. C. Work With Your Church—Help the members of your church and other churches in the community to learn of the errors of the occult. Help them plan action programs to stem occult growth. D. Investigate Your Schools—See what your schools are teaching. Check courses called “Mysticism” and “Literature of the Supernatural.” See if teachers are pushing occult practices on students. Then take your case to the school board. Tell the newspapers, radio and television what you have found. Do not let the school administrators tell you to keep the information confidential. If it is wrong—tell the world. E. Bring in Speakers—Obtain knowledgeable speakers on the occult to address your club or group. There are many clubs now inviting speakers on astrology and mysticism; offer them speakers on the occult who can show why it is wrong. F. Picket—Picket stores and movie houses that offer occult books and films. Let the public know this is wrong. Let the news media know you are picketing and why. G. Pray—Pray—Pray—Jesus is the only effective answer to those who want deliverance from the occult. God has a greater interest in halting occultism than you do. He is only waiting for you to ask Him to help you. Don the full Gospel armor, pray, and ask others to pray that He will guide you. He will!
And just in case anyone didn't see the earlier post, Warnke's idea of what constitutes "occult" includes basically anything and everything associated with modern witchcraft and neopaganism. Tarot cards, dream analysis, and lucky charms are all dangerous occult practices that lead to demonic possession and violent behavior, according to Warnke.
This whole fucking book is ultimately a call to a witch hunt, and anyone who engages in any sort of mystical or magical practice, or so much as depicts magic or the supernatural in a work of fiction is a target. Warnke's claims about a Satanic Illuminati are rooted in antisemitic tropes and witch hunt hysteria, and his story has been discredited for years. Anybody trying to claim that the Satanic Panic was anything more than a moral panic needs to understand that it all goes back to Mike Warnke and people who more or less copied from his template.
Furthermore, you cannot separate the claims about the existence of giant conspiratorial cults found in books like these from the Christifascist religious views they push, because it doesn't make sense to believe in one and not the other. The narratives these books push make it very clear that the power of God and Jesus alone is the only thing that can save people from these cults, because these cults are inherently Satanic. If you don't believe in that part, then the rest of it simply unravels.

Getting into D&D in the 70s/80s after hearing about it through the satanic panic controversy must’ve been so funny.
Like, imagine you’re some edge-lord, occult-obsessed goth teenager or early twenty-something in the 1980s, and you hear the rumours about this game that can summon demons, drive people to commit murder and/or kill themselves and was trying to get banned by pearl-clutching Christian parents across the nation. Like the Ouijia board on steroids. So of course you want in on that super fucked up hardcore demonic occult shit, you sign up for the nearest D&D group in your area, you show up, and then it’s just. A bunch of dorky fantasy nerds playing a board game where they act out an off-brand Lord of the Rings story with occasional dice rolls and improv comedy.

Satansplain #062 – No, QAnon is not a new Satanic Panic (yet?)
Addressing the misconceptions that the QAnon conspiracy theory is the “Satanic Panic 2.0” (it’s not; let’s keep that way), or that “the Satanic Panic never ended” (it did; let’s keep it that way). Also, the difference between personalization and hypocritical self-deceit in the ritual chamber. Satansplain #062

“Wait, wait, wait, short baby Robin, back it up. You followed a radioactive green dog into the sewers? With no weapons?”
“Don’t be an idiot Grayson, I always have a weapon on me. It’d be counterproductive if I didn’t. Anyway- the dog disappeared and I was already down there so I followed the voices to this room—”
“You followed voices?!?”
“Do try to keep up.” Damian snipped. “Yes, and there was a room down there, like some sort of tomb and then I pulled this guy out of the coffin there.” And subsequently gave himself mild frostbite he was guessing by the way he still couldn’t feel his hands. Dick looked mid aneurysm at Damian’s minimal explanation but that had the benefit of him not asking anymore questions as he let them into the apartment, offering to take the teenager from Damian wordlessly.
“Did he tell you anything?” Dick pressed fingers to the teen’s wrist, brow furrowed. “Low pulse, okay. Okay. To the living room then. Was he awake when you got him out?”
“For a few moments.”
“And did you ask him for a name?”
“No.”
“Damian.”
“I was preoccupied with finding a living person in a glass coffin Grayson. He did say one thing though.” Besides thanking Damian but he was keeping that to himself for as long as he could.
“What was it?”
“The Packers suck.”
“Like the football team?” Dick questioned and Damian shrugged.

We've reached 'severely missing the animated portions of Rite Here Rite Now' hours so I started my own bare-bones animation inspired by that scene 🫡
If it's too hard to tell, I've got Nihil disguised as a "preppy Chad" character so he can spook Sister Imperator and then do a classic Scooby Doo reveal as himself haha. As for the music, I wasn't planning on backing it with anything but I realized Kiss the Go-Goat already sort of matched up so I think I'm gonna finish it with the song in mind (I slapped the audio onto this in imovie so if it's poorly balanced my bad lol)
#I cannot keep doing animations it's such a bad habit. this is 6 hours of drawing. and it's missing so much detail LOL#why do I do this to myself#the band ghost#papa nihil#sister imperator#kiss the go goat#seven inches of satanic panic#animation#rite here rite now#my art#my band ghost
