THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SATANIC CULT INVOLVEMENT: AN ...

48. The lust ... no one said "Don't do
this ", or "it's immoral". In fact, you are
encouraged to have sex as much as you
like, and that's also what made me want
Satanism.
49. Unlike the outside world, there in the
coven I was able to realise my anger,
hatred and cntelty towards the world, and
was encouraged to develop it.
50. When I joined the coven I also felt at
peace ... there was a false sense ofPeace,
peace with myself, peace with the wtry
things were going.
51. I stry a false sense ofpeace because I
didn't speak to anybody about my
experience. It was like a facade to the
outside world But inside, it was all
anarchy, violence, death, and destntction.
Like a time bomb.
52. My school marks dropped a hell of a
lot. Like before, the ~eachers and children
left me alone. They'd ignore me, as if
there was something wrong or strange
about me.
53. I was called "the most evil kid
around", which made me feel honoured,
you know, because I felt evil, and I enjoyed
it.
54. Going out and recntiting people into
Satanism was part of it as well. Pltrying

49. 8 was gratified by the fact that 8atanism
renounced the moral code ofwider society,
and encouraged him to express and develop
his anger, hatred and cruelty.
50. After joining the coven 8 experienced a
superficial sensation ofpeace.
51. 8's peaceful facade masked an
explosive internal sense of anarchy,
violence, destruction and death.
52. Although 8's school performance
dropped, 8 felt that teachers and peers
ignored him and perceived him as deviant.
53. 8 felt honoured to be labelled as "evil"
by others around him.
54. 8's cult activity involved manipulating
others and influencing them to become
satanic recruits.
55. I saw people as things to torture, 55. 8's hatred inclined him to perceive
manipulate, devalue, and demoralise. I people as objects to torture, denigrate, and
hated everyone.
