In their monograph, "Occult Survivors: the Making of a Myth", by Philip Jenkins and Maier-Katkin in "The Satanism Scare", 1991, they cite an extensive research project undertaken to document a pattern of ritual abuse/murder/cannablism over several generations. They discovered that, yes, there was and is such a murder cult, operating since mid-1800's, that does all of terrible things attributed to the satanists -- but it is in Africa not North America! The Human Leopard Society (Koribrah) has been literally written out of the history books but it rivals Indian Thugee for a cumulative body-count and it vastly surpasses Thugee in its capacity for torture, perversion and child abuse. The Thugs did not sacrifice their own children or physically transform children into killer beasts. The pitful results of this 'transformation' process was what young Dr. Pazder confronted face-to-face in his field work in West Africa druing the 1960's. . . Later, under his hypnotic regression therapy, his patient, Michelle Smith, began to recover "memories" of being raised in an upper-class Vancouver multi- generational satanic/cannabalistic torture/murder cult that so closley paralleled the Koribrah in its practices that coincidence cannot be accepted as an explanation -- especailly in light of the documented background of Smith's "real" upbringing. To explore this further, we might ask why couldn't there be a North American multi-generational upper-middle class Koribrah? A lot of disturbed people seem to "remember" such cults. A small but dedicated number of 'therapists' and 'journalists' continue to insist they exist. The answer is that such lycanthropic cults did exist in our culture back before we chopped down the forest that covered our ancestral home from Poland to Ireland (in the early middle ages). These theriomorphic totem-animal hunting cults are not racial in any particular sense. They depend on two factors: an overwhelming fear/envy of a major predatory animal and an animistic/shamanic primary religion. From the Carpathians to the Balitc, during the dark ages, the religion was certainly animistic and shamanic. European wolves, unlike their American cousins, are often deadly to humans. The "Dogs of God" who lurked in the forests of Slavonic shamanism were very similar to the Human Leopards in the Ju-ju haunted jungles of West Africa. But we haven't feared and worshiped wolves in the forest for well over a thousand years. We still have the memory -- horror film producers and Dr. Pazder have certainly exploited it -- but we don't DO these sort of things anymore because we don't identify with savage animal behavior. We are just as cruel. We kill children by dropping incendiary bombs on them from 30,000 feet or pumping inflamible "tear gas" into frame buildings but we don't (except in rare cases exibiting individual or small group aborant social behavior) undertake child sacrifice, cannablism, torture, etc. as part of religious ritual. As a culture we find this sort of behavior absolutly abhorant and have more of a sense of loathing and disgust for such sickos as the Manson Family than we have fear. Thus we must conclude that the existance of a major network of "Child-abuse and Sacrifice Cults" in contemporary America is a delusion projected from a still-primative society's cult (Koribrah) dominated by a primative religion (Ju-ju). This dark fantasy is sustained by our cultural memory of our own similar practices in ancient times. These dark memories fascinate us in literature and entertainment. Dracula, Frankenstein and certainly "The Wolf Man" were my favorite demons when I was a kid. They are folklore for us now. Let us not seek for them in our neighbor's basement. Curio and/or Linda Blood should "scream abuse" on a fictional answering machine. Then it would be entertaiment, not witch hunting and slander.
