   BLASPHEMY by Vicki Copeland

   The recent horrifying events in Matamoros, Mexico left  all  of
us, Pagan and non-Pagan alike, shocked and sickened.  Drug dealers
responsible  for  the  deaths  of  Mark  Kilroy  and others - some
reportedly  in  rituals  -claimed  to  have  been  inspired  by  a
Hollywood film, "The Believers", which they watched repeatedly.

   When   this   film   first   appeared,   it  was  denounced  by
practitioners of the Santeria faith as being a gross distortion of
their religious practices.   In  recent  months,  other  religious
communities of the world have protested depictions of their rites,
beliefs,  histories  and  rituals with varying degrees of success.
In California, thousands of Christians marched in protest of  "The
Last Temptation  of  Christ".  Theatres around the country refused
to book the film, and those that did were picketed.    The  Moslem
world  reacted  to  Salman  Rushdi's  book  The  Satanic Verses by
putting a price on the author's head!  The Christians and  Moslems
were  either  applauded  or  denounced, depending on the religious
views of the observer.  The Santerians were ignored or laughed at.


   Recent years have likewise seen a whole spate  of  films  which
take  parts  of Wiccan religion and turn them into something NEVER
intended.   To  the  uninformed,  these  are  taken  as   accurate
portrayals.  Three  examples  come  to mind readily.  The first is
the film "Ghoulies".  In this movie, a teenager finds an old  book
of rituals  and  tries to "work" them with his friends.  He begins
with "casting the circle" from the  Gardnerian  tradition.    When
fireworks  and  Industrial Light and Magick shows don't happen, he
throws the book down and stomps off.  Later on,  little  creatures
show up  and start hunting down the kids.  This is NOT what Wiccan
Circle casting is intended to do, but the viewers don't know that.

   The "Witches Rune", a chant found in many Wiccan traditions for
raising energy, is employed in "The Howling II".  In the film this
chant turns a woman into a werewolf!

   Aside from the fact that werewolves are mythological creatures,
the use of something from OUR  liturgy  to  do  such  a  thing  is
abhorrent to us.

   Finally,  the worst example occurred in a BBC production called
the "K-9 Special", a spin-off of the popular British  "Dr.    Who"
series.   In  this  show,  an  evil  coven  of  "black witches" is
practicing human sacrifice. (How many times  have  we  heard  THAT
one???)  As a springboard for this, the producers chose to use one
of the most sacred  and  beautiful  rituals  in  Wicca.    In  the
"Drawing  Down  the  Moon"  ceremony,  the  Priestess  becomes the
Goddess incarnate within the Circle of Perfect  Love  and  Perfect
Trust, so  that  the  coveners  may  communicate  with  her.  This
ceremony has NOTHING to do with sacrifices of any kind, and  using
it for such a purpose is, in the eyes of Witches, nothing short of
the most  vile  blasphemy.    This  is akin to the outrage felt by
Christians and Moslems concerning "The Last  Temptation"  and  The
Satanic Verses.

   "It's ONLY a  movie.    Everybody  knows  it's  not real."  But
everyone DOESN't know it's not real.  Disturbed persons don't make
this realization.  Instead, some utilize the incidents within  the
movie,  book,  TV  show,  etc.  to  commit  acts  reprehensible to
society.  Some DO find inspiration for ritualistic  activities  in
the films  of Hollywood.  But this cannot be blamed on Witches any
more than all Christians can be  blamed  for  the  crimes  of  the
Inquisition,  or  all  Moslems  for  the rampages of the Ayatollah
Khomeini.  Blame instead Hollywood and the quest for  the  Eternal
Dollar.  We  would MUCH rather keep our rituals pure.  Wicca, like
Christianity and numerous other religions is a mystical  religion,
and not easily understood by un-initiated.

   SPECIAL  REPORT  ON  WICCA  (WITCHCRAFT)  AND  PAGANISM  by Hal
Mansfield

   (Editor's Note: This article is adapted, with permission,  from
a  paper  circulated  with the monthly newsletter of the Religious
Movement Resource Center in Fort Collins, Colorado.)

   During the summer, I  was  invited  to  and  attended  a  Pagan
festival (Dragonfest)  located  in  the  Colorado  Rockies.    The
festival included people from all over  the  United  States,  with
approximately 250 in attendance.  I have also talked with numerous
other  Wiccans  and  Pagans and done extensive research into Wicca
and Paganism.

   The following conclusions will,  no  doubt,  be  controversial.
Keep  in mind that the Religious Movement Resource Center does not
evaluate belief systems; that task  is  left  to  individuals  and
their own  faith  communities.    We  only look at the operational
mechanics of an organization or group.

   With that in mind, I found that,  applying  our  definition  of
destructive  cults,  Wiccan  and the Pagan communities do not fall
under the definition.  This definition can be stated  as  follows:
An  organization  which  inhibits  individual  freedom  of thought
through the use of violence, deception, and  mind  control.    The
Wiccan communities  also  do not fall under Dr.  Lifton's model of
eight points of mind control either; for more detailed explanation
of these points, we would suggest  reading  Dr.    Lifton's  book,
"Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalitarianism."

   During  the four days I was at the festival, I was made welcome
and allowed to attend (or not, as I saw fit) anything I wanted to.
There was no pressure, guilt, or mass recruitment, and no one  was
constantly accompanying  me unless I asked them to.  There were no
evidences of  autocratic  leadership,  no  mass  orgies,  no  long
processions  of  hooded,  black-robed people practicing black arts
ceremonies into all hours of  the  night.    Instead,  there  were
workshops, a lot of music, people enjoying the great outdoors, and
the rituals were relatively short, brightly colored, and contained
no  Devil  worship  (as  Satan  is  not  included  in their belief
system).

   A large percentage of the workshops dealt  with  social  issues
such as  the  environment, politics, ethics, and feminism.  During
these workshops, opposing points of view constantly came up on the
issues at hand.  Although debate was often heated, no one was  put
down  for  expressing  themselves or bringing contrasting opinions
into the discussions.

   Cult-related crime does occur, but we need to be careful not to
jump to conclusions and lay  blame  on  groups  because  of  their
alternative beliefs.   I feel this has happened to a large extent,
directed towards  Wiccans  and  Pagans.      There   are   extreme
differences  between  an "alternative religion" and a "destructive
cult", and I have found little or no evidence to link  Wiccans  to
occult  crime  or  cult  cases we have researched or investigated.
The few links are in the adolescent  "Do-it-yourself"  covens,  in
which  kids  beg,  borrow,  and  steal  from  all  sorts of belief
systems, books, movies, etc.  For more information on this  topic,
please  refer  to my discussion paper, "Pseudo- Satanism in School
Systems Today" [reprinted in Vol.  I, Issue 2 of CWR].  The  other
area  is  involving  an  individual's  own  pathological behavior;
almost all these people call themselves  "Satanists".    Satanism,
whether  it's a system made up by individuals, an organized group,
or a destructive Satanic cult, is not Wicca or Paganism!  There is
little similarity between them.

   Some skeptics might say that the Pagan/Wiccan community put  on
a  show  for me; I would reply that it is highly doubtful that 250
people would come from all over the country, just to put on a show
for me!  I have  interviewed  countless  numbers  of  Wiccans  and
Pagans,  and have come to the same conclusions as above throughout
the years.  This is not intended to be a comprehensive  report  on
Paganism.   Wicca  and Paganism are too complex to outline in this
report.

   The final thought is that, when cult crime  does  occur,  rumor
and  wild  speculation  are poor substitutes for good research and
solid investigation techniques.  Each case needs to be handled  as
unique, not lumped together into one big pot.

   As  always,  when  we publish a report of this nature, I invite
comments, evidence, and suggestions in support of or  in  contrast
to our findings.  Feel free to share this report.

   PLIGHT OF THE PAGAN POLICEMAN - PART VI by Kerr Cuhulain

   A  little while ago, a Fundamentalist Christian tour group from
a small town in Georgia checked into a hotel downtown  (Vancouver,
B.C.).   Their  tour  director  registered  himself under the name
"Roger Moore"; this wasn't his real name, and  I  don't  precisely
know why he chose to use it, but you can draw your own conclusions
from what follows.

   The  director  next  retired to the lounge where he met up with
two women and got into some serious  drinking.    He  offered  the
bartender his  credit  card  to pay for the drinks.  This wasn't a
very bright move; you see, the bartender routinely checked  credit
cards  to see if they were lost or stolen by taking them up to the
front desk.  In this process, the bartender  discovered  that  the
name on  the  card  was  not the name registered to the room.  The
card, of course,  has  the  director's  real  name  on  it.    The
bartender notified security.

   A security person then approached the director and asked him to
explain the  discrepancy.    The  director  satisfied the security
person that the card was indeed his and that he and "Roger  Moore"
were one in the same.  In the process, however, the two women that
he had been trying to impress left him for greener pastures.

   The  director,  now  a  trifle  embarrassed,  frustrated, and a
little drunk, moved over to the bar.   He  found  himself  sitting
next  to three Englishmen who worked for a large engineering firm,
one of whom was physically disabled.  The  director  attempted  to
start  a  conversation  going  with  them  by  telling some rather
tasteless jokes about disabled people; needless to say, the  three
Englishmen  were  not  impressed, the handicaped one least of all.
The disabled engineer was so upset, in fact, that he left the bar.
His friends made remarks to the director to the effect  that  they
were not impressed.

   At this  point,  the  director took stock of the situation.  In
his opinion, these men had no sense of humour.  They  had  English
accents and  were  not  Fundamentalist  Christians.   The director
concluded that they must, therefore, be homosexuals.  He then made
his conclusions known in a very loud voice.   The  engineers  (who
were,  in fact, heterosexual --not that it matters) took exception
to being called "fags" and shouted back at him.

   At  this  point  the  bartender  noticed  the  commotion,   and
recognized the  director from before.  He summoned security again.
Security arrived and recognized the director also.   The  director
was asked  to  leave the bar.  He did, but that was not the end of
the situation.

   One of the two remaining engineers got up a short  while  later
to go  to  the  washroom.    Outside  of the washroom he found the
director, who was spoiling for a fight.  The director, seeing that
this engineer was quite a bit bigger than him, slunk  away.    The
engineer  was so agitated that he forgot to go to the washroom and
returned to the bar.

   Ten minutes later, the other,  smaller  engineer  went  to  the
washroom.   He  had been warned by his companion, but found no one
waiting outside.  A few minutes later, he was  washing  his  hands
when the director stepped up behind him and recommenced his verbal
attack.

   This engineer did not want to listen to the director's ranting,
so he  tried  to  push past.  The director then struck him several
times with his fists, knocking  him  through  the  door  into  the
hallway.

   Three  wedding  guests  were  walking down this hallway minding
their own business.  Suddenly,  the  engineer  falls  out  of  the
doorway in  front  of them, followed closely by the director.  The
director grabbed the engineer's ears and kneed him  in  the  head,
knocking him  out  cold.    He  then  adopted  a karate stance and
informed the stunned wedding guests that he was a  "good  old  boy
from Georgia"  and  would  take them all on.  The guests fell back
and the director strutted to the front desk.  There he  asked  the
desk clerk to call the police.

   Moments later,  my  partner  and  I  arrived.    I found myself
talking to the director while my partner interviewed everyone else
involved.   Meanwhile  an  ambulance   crew   was   treating   the
still-unconscious victim.

   The director must have figured me to be another "good old boy".
He  explained  to me how he had been harassed by "faggots" and had
his female company chased off by inconsiderate hotel staff.    The
director  told  me that he and his group were "God fearing" people
and deserved special treatment.  He appealed  to  me  as  a  "good
Christian officer" to arrest these "fags".

   This was  the director's second major mistake.  I'm not a "good
Christian officer", I'm a "good Wiccan officer".    And,  being  a
Witch,  I  performed  a  magickal  act  --  I  made  the  director
disappear, into the back of a paddywagon.  This "good  old  Pagan"
had the director charged with aggravated assault.  Within half and
hour,  he  had  appeared  in front of an immigration duty officer,
still wearing a stunned expression on his face.   The  immigration
officer gave him a notice cordially inviting the director to leave
the country within 24 hours or else (to be turned in when crossing
the border as proof).

   I've never been to Georgia.  I can only hope that pompous asses
like this  Christian  tour  director  are  a rarity down there.  I
think   that   he   must   have   come   from   the   Church    of
Do-As-I-Say-But-Not-As-I-Do.   I  hope that the police officers in
Georgia share my views with regards  to  this  type  of  behavior;
hopefully, his  Church  shares  them,  too.  We can be sure of one
thing, however: the director learned an old saying that I  learned
in  the  Armed Forces -- "If you assume and I assume, it will make
an ASS out of U and ME".  He learned it the hard way.

   CWR SURPRISES SYMPOSIUM by Vicki Copeland

   Participants in the recent  Bob  Larson  Compassion  Connection
Satanism Symposium got a bit more than they bargained for when CWR
attended.  At $95 per head, no doubt they didn't expect any Pagans
to be able to afford the admission.  Thanks to an anonymous donor,
CWR was able to participate.

   The  symposium  was well attended with approximately 500 people
registered.  According to Larson Ministries, approximately 1/3  of
those attending  were  police  officers.    Sponsors  of the event
allowed one officer from each department to attend free of charge.
Speakers included Det.  Lt.  Larry Jones, Of "File  18"  and  Cult
Crime  Impact  Network, Jack Roper, an "occult crime investigator"
of  Christian  Apologetics  Resource  Information  Services,   Bob
Larson,  host  of  "Talkback  With Bob Larson" radio talk show and
author of Satanism, the Seduction of America's Youth, and a  panel
of  teens  who  are  now,  or  had been in the past, involved with
Satanism.

   Larson delivered the key-note address and was followed by Jones
and Roper.  Detailed discussions of their  presentations  will  be
given in future issues of CWR. During an excellent lunch, provided
with  the  registration  fee, I had an opportunity to sit and talk
with several of the other attendees.  They did not know who I was,
or that I represented CWR, and we had a most enjoyable lunch.    I
found  them  to  be  very  concerned  with  the  problems faced by
juveniles in connection with drugs and subsequent involvement with
antisocial behavior labeled as "Satanism".

   After lunch, I was introduced to Det.    Jones,  who  remarked,
"Ah, the  loyal  opposition showed up."  My reply was, "Of course.
You didn't think I'd let you come this close and not come to  hear
what you  had  to  say,  did you?"  He recalled the challenge that
"File 18" had issued to those  of  us  who  were  upset  with  the
material  printed in that publication. "File 18" advised those who
had differing viewpoints to publish their own  newsletters.    CWR
accepted that  challenge.    I  also  discussed  the  C.H.R.I.S.T.
letters with Det.  Jones.  He said that although  CCIN  and  "File
18"   had   been   blamed   for  them  by  various  people,  those
organizations do NOT advocate violence and had nothing  whatsoever
to do  with  the  aforementioned letters.  I was very glad to hear
Det.  Jones state his position on violence.

   When I was introduced to Mr.  Larson, he asked that I  come  up
front and  sit  with  the speakers.  He later introduced me to the
audience and allowed some conversation on CWR's position on occult
crime and  Witchcraft.    This  generated  many   questions   from
interested parties at breaktime.

   "Do you do trance channeling?"

   "No, Ma'am.  I think it's a bunch of New Age hype."

   "Do you do out-of-body travel?"

   "No ma'am."

   "Do you use numerology?"

   "I've looked at it a bit, but I don't use it actively."

   "Then what do you do that makes you a Witch?"

   "I'm a priestess of the Goddess and that makes me a Witch."

   This  dear  lady  never  did  understand  that being a Witch is
something you ARE, not something you DO.

   Another lady asked me if I thought I was God.  I replied  that,
no, I was simply a human being trying to do my best.

   Two  young  men  from Oregon approached me and asked, " Now you
believe that what we believe is wrong, right?"

   "Wrong.  It's wrong FOR ME. It's right FOR YOU."

   They seemed genuinely confused and were shocked when  I  wished
them a safe journey back to Oregon.

   Many people came up to tell me they loved me and were surprised
when their declarations were met with a smile and a "thank you."

   One minister said that he had read many pamphlets on the occult
from  various  Christian  sources, and that every one of them said
something different.  He had been so confused that he finally  got
some of  the  Wicca  books  and read them.  I applaud his insight.
When he bemoaned the lack of documentation, I handed him a copy of
the "Origins of Halloween".  He seemed to be  glad  to  have  some
documented material for a change.

   Throughout  the rest of the day, I was approached by people who
wanted to save me, to thank me, or argue with me, and  people  who
just wanted  to talk to a real live Witch.  Many of them had never
had the opportunity to talk to someone of  my  faith  before,  and
lines of communication were opened.

   Perhaps  the most unusual question was put to me as I talked to
a group of women.  One of them noticed the strand of moonstones  I
was wearing and asked what they were.

   "They're moonstones."

   "What do they do?"

   "They're pretty rocks.  I LIKE pretty rocks."

   The  lady  was  confused  and  I wondered if she expected me to
state that they had  some  mysterious  properties,  or  that  they
housed the spirit of my dead Grandmother.

   Hopefully,  I  put  some  new  ideas  about  Witches  into many
people's heads.  Most of those in attendance were trying  to  find
solutions  to  the  problems  they  see  facing their families and
communities.  It isn't their fault if those  that  are  presenting
themselves  as "experts" don't give them accurate information. (In
future issues  of  CWR,  we  will  examine  the  contents  of  the
individual workshops in detail.)

   REVIEWS by Rowan Moonstone

   SATANISM: THE SEDUCTION OF AMERICA'S YOUTH by Bob Larson Thomas
Nelson Publishers, Nashville, TN 1989

   This book, made up mainly of excerpts from the daily talk show,
"Talkback With Bob Larson", is a curious mixture of sensationalism
and compassion.    It  is obvious that Larson is concerned for the
hurting people who call his show and equally obvious that he is  a
connsumate showman in the grand tradition of P. T. Barnum.

   The  first chapter deals with a European tour by the rock group
Slayer.  Accompanying them, Larson  found  out  that  contrary  to
their  "Satanic" stage image, they were just a bunch of musicians,
who live on the road much as musicians  have  for  years;  wishing
they were home, and being tired of motel rooms and motor homes.

   Further  chapters  deal  with  such  infamous  cases as Charles
Manson and the Night Stalker.  The Matamoros murders and the Ricky
Kasso / James Troiano case are also mentioned.  Larson  buys  into
the  theory  that  all  of  these are "occult" crimes, despite the
evidences that they were "ordinary" crimes with "occult" trappings
added on for effect.

   Continuing,  he  denounces  television,  movies,  Dungeons  and
Dragons, and  other "occultic" influences on our society.  He also
covers the holiday of Halloween and considers it damaging  to  the
youth of America.

   Further  in the book, readers will encounter instances in which
callers to "Talkback" speak of human  sacrifices  and  ritualistic
child abuse.    I  can only wonder if these crimes are reported by
Larson and his staff to the law enforcement community.

   Larson's section on Witchcraft  begins  with  an  account  from
someone  calling  herself  "Cracinda" who claims that her aim as a
Witch is to destroy Christians.  This is followed by "Salina"  who
had participated in human sacrifices.

   What is particularly confusing to the reader is the description
of Wicca  (which  is reasonably accurate) that follows.  It simply
does NOT correlate with the stories that these  two  young  ladies
tell.

   Larson  presents  nothing new in the line of books on Satanism.
He repeats the same old tired stories of human sacrifice and  wild
orgies without giving a SHRED of proof that any such thing exists.
The standard party line of black metal music, Dungeons and Dragons
and  horror  films is trotted out and revamped with sensationalist
accounts from the callers to his show.

   Larson DOES exhibit great sympathy for his  callers  and  there
ARE  a  great many teens these days in need of compassion, healing
and a friend who will listen.  It is a pity that Mr.  Larson,  who
so  obviously  cares, feels compelled to sensationalize the trauma
of those troubled teens.

   NEWS FROM OKLAHOMA

   A 1915 Oklahoma  law  threatens  the  spiritual  and  religious
freedom of psychics, spiritual healers, metaphysicians and others.
In  response, persons in metaphysical communities across Oklahoma,
as well as other outraged individuals have banned together to form
the "Committee for Spiritual Freedom,  Inc."  which  is  concerned
with the possible abridgement of 1st Amendment Rights of "persons,
pretending or professing to tell fortunes by the use of any subtle
craft,  means  or  device  whatsoever"  and  may  be  directly  or
indirectly charging or "receiving gifts, donations or subscription
by any means whatsoever for the same" causing them to  be  subject
to conviction  of  a  criminal  act in Oklahoma.  Fines of between
$50-$500 could be levied, along with jail terms running between 30
days and six months.

   The groups attorney, Cecil G. Drummond, from Tulsa,  feels  the
law  could  be  construed  to include prophecies made by ministers
using biblical texts relating  to  future  events,  meteorologists
foretelling  future  weather events, and others who predict future
occurrences on a variety  of  subjects.    Drummond  is  filing  a
petition  to  the  Oklahoma  Federal  District Court requesting an
injunction against the enforcement of state law until  it  can  be
determined as to whether or not it is constitutional.

   ENGLISH SATANISTS DECRY ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES

   In  the  current  copy  of  Dark  Lily  (Issue  #8), an English
newsletter published by and for Satanists (repeat,  not  Wiccans),
the  editor  writes  that  Dark  Lily  has "had to discontinue our
exchange advertising with [two other Satanist newsletters] in view
of their Editors' expressed  support  for  the  criminal  activity
known as  pedophilia.    I  am  not  attempting to place DL in the
uncomfortable position  of  arbiter  of  sexual  mores,  but  such
activity is not only illegal, it has nothing whatsoever to do with
Occultism and could actually impede one's development, as has been
explained  in  DL  and  in  lengthy  correspondence  with [the two
newsletters]."

   It appears that Wiccans are not the only "alternative religion"
that is against illegal activities.
