PURGE OCCULTISM

The Malleus Maleficarum (1487 CE), written by Heinrich Kramer (Institoris) with some association to Jacob Sprenger, was not simply a “general” witch-hunting manual, but rather an extension of earlier inquisitorial traditions that had long been directed against specific heretical sects in the later Middle Ages. Much of what is popularly claimed about it today is the result of modern sensationalism and projection, especially feminist reinterpretations from the late 20th century, rather than an honest reading of the text in its historical context.

Later renderings of the title — Der Hexenhammer and The Witches’ Hammer — are themselves products of modern publicity and romanticized notions of witchcraft, promoted mainly from the early 1900s onward. The original Latin title deserves closer examination. Malleus means “mallet” or “hammer,” in the sense of a judge’s gavel. Male- derives from the Latin male, “ill” or “bad,” while -ficus comes from facere (“to make” or “to do”), with plural endings forming “ones.” Thus,…

Abstract

For over half a century, occultism has metastasized from countercultural curiosity into a pervasive parasite infecting politics, psychology, education, and public life. Cloaked in the language of “hidden wisdom,” movements ranging from astrology and Wicca to Scientology and “energy healing” have masqueraded as profound while peddling incoherence, exploitation, and fraud. This paper traces occultism’s expansion from the 1970s to the present, examining its corrosive influence across domains, its hypocrisy in so-called “secret societies,” and the devastating consequences of its normalization. Far from ancient or profound, the occult is a cultural malignancy that thrives on ignorance, trauma, and cowardice in confronting reality.

1. Introduction: The Lie of “Hidden Wisdom”

• Occultism presents itself as esoteric truth, accessible only to initiates. In reality, it is a recycling bin of plagiarized myths, pseudoscience, and authoritarian theater.

• The word “occult” (Latin occultus, meaning hidden) suggests concealed profundity; what it conceals, however, is vacuity.

Overview

In the postmodern landscape of spiritual satire, parody religions have positioned themselves as clever critiques of institutional faith. They claim to challenge dogma, expose hypocrisy, and defend reason. But beneath the absurd mascots and ironic rituals lies a deeper contradiction: many of these movements replicate the very structures, behaviors, and demands they claim to ridicule. What begins as satire often devolves into spectacle, self-seriousness, and institutional mimicry.

This article examines the most prominent parody religions and ideological cults—Pastafarianism, Dudeism, the Invisible Pink Unicorn, Landover Baptist Church, the Church of Satan, The Satanic Temple, and Raelism—highlighting the fallacies and hypocrisies embedded in their public claims, internal structures, and cultural behavior.

Pastafarianism: From Satire to Self-Seriousness

Originally conceived by Bobby Henderson in 2005 as a protest against the Kansas School Board’s decision to teach Intelligent Design alongside evolution, Pastafarianism (Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster) began as a satirical defense of…

The term “Satanic Stupidity” is not a theological insult—it’s a structural diagnosis. It refers to the performative, self-contradictory behaviors of individuals or institutions that invoke rebellion, inversion, or “darkness” as a brand, while simultaneously clinging to the same moral scaffolding they claim to reject. This stupidity is not about intelligence. It’s about functional failure.

Let’s stop pretending

These groups masquerading as spiritual collectives are not sanctuaries of diversity. They’re cosplay cults wrapped in occult aesthetics, parading around as if Philosophical and Theological Satanism are inclusive frameworks. They’re not Warlocks. They’re not Witches. They’re ideological performers using spiritual language to mask exclusion, hostility, and cowardice.

They claim to stand for “All Paths,” yet openly vilify Christianity. They tolerate every worldview except the one they’ve decided to scapegoat. That’s not inclusion. That’s targeted bias. It’s ideological gatekeeping dressed up in robes and runes.

These groups are not spiritual leaders. They are unhinged…

Modern Paganism and Heathenry are often marketed as spiritual systems rooted in pre-Christian European traditions. This claim is structurally false.

• Historically, no one identified themselves as "pagans."

• The term "pagan" was typically used as an insult—dismissive, derogatory, and imposed by outsiders.

• Ironically, many early Christians were labeled "pagans" by Roman authorities, further muddying the term’s historical application.
