Seti42 Posted December 1, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) This is a crime done by a messed up person or people. It's not really 'occult' related at all. For one thing, actual people into the Occult don't use symbols like upside-down crosses, the number 666, etc. That's all straight from 80's and 90's Satanic Panic headlines and cheesy metal band album cover art. Animal sacrifices do happen, sometimes even legally, and that scene is VERY different than what's described in this story. Hopefully the police in that area know to look for antisocial, abusive a**holes, and not the neighborhood Wiccans, Pagans, LARPers, Goths, and Aleister Crowley fanboys. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this was done by some jaded local(s) under 25 with sociopathic tendencies who's: a) Ignorant, and b) angry at their Christian family/neighborhood. Heck, it's probably someone who's been forced to go to the very church that was 'defiled'. Edited December 1, 2019 by Seti42 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also plenty out there who like to stir the pot and commit false flag attacks to try and turn the community against pagans. No one would simply discard an offering out in the open to be found like this, unless it was specifically designed to make headlines. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even think of the 'false flag' idea. I could see that happening in many communities to demonize Pagans, Wiccans, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scholar4Truth Posted December 2, 2019 #7 Share Posted December 2, 2019 What's interesting is I was just watching Geraldo Rivera's special on Satanic crimes. What craziness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've driven through the "bible belt" a few times. Everyone I met was very friendly and hospitable - whatever their beliefs are, I hope they spread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is always very "friendly" and hospitable on the surface, especially to Yankees. Just don't cross them.

+Not A Rockstar Posted December 3, 2019 #10 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Good Lord I live in the South, Louisiana back roads where there is a church for about every five houses it seems like. Some folks are weird, some are totally nice, like anywhere else in the country. These "sacrifices" aren't Pagan. It is not religion, it is mental illness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibeliever Posted December 3, 2019 #11 Share Posted December 3, 2019 No offense to my southern friends and family. The events I'm referring to specifically took place in Arkansas a few years back and affected people I know. I generalized in jest and certainly don't hold "the south" responsible, especially if I want dinner tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashore Posted December 3, 2019 #12 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Poor sheep and cows Even though this sort of thing has been going on for decades, I am still shocked when some person(s) decide to go off and do such a horrific thing for whatever reason(s). It’s fortunate this seems to happen fairly rarely. Usually seems to be the rare sick person/group, or some young folks really messed up into their own little clique/cult. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickQuickSlow Posted December 4, 2019 #13 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) I saw a bright pink sheep the other day, looked really cool but I think the farmer had just overdone it on the marking paint (bit off the track sorry) Edited December 4, 2019 by QuickQuickSlow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a bit "temper-mental". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
