This is an interesting mini-dig into the rise of the embrace of occultism by the modern left. Anon hasn't ever really seen the topic explored much before. As discussed during early night shift last night, POTUS needs to be cautious of affiliation with people like Robert Jeffress and Paula White who advocate their own dangerous spiritual points of view on politics.

The Rise of Progressive Occultism

Or why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez felt compelled to share her birth chart.

 

…In one Brooklyn zine, author and non-binary witch Dakota Bracciale—co-owner of Catland Books, the occult store behind the Kavanaugh hexing—celebrates the potential of traditional “dark magic” and outright devil-worship as a levying force for social justice.

 

“There have been too many self-elected spokespersons for all of witchcraft,” Bracciale writes, “seeking to pander to the masses and desperately conform to larger mainstream religious tenets in order to curry legitimacy. Witchcraft has largely, if not exclusively, been a tool of resilience and resistance to oppressive power structures, not a plaything for bored, affluent fools. So if one must ride into battle under the banner of the Devil himself to do so then I say so be it. The reality is that you can be a witch and worship the devil and have sex with demons and cavort through the night stealing children and burning churches. One should really have goals.” As with the denizens of The Satanic Temple, Bracciale uses the imagery of Satanism as a direct attack on what he perceives as Christian hegemony. So too Jex Blackmore, a self-proclaimed Satanic feminist (and former national spokesperson for the Satanic Temple) who appeared in the Hail Satan? documentary performing a Satanic ritual involving half-naked worshippers and pigs’ heads on spikes, announcing: “We are going to disrupt, distort, destroy. . . .We are going to storm press conferences, kidnap an executive, release snakes in the governor’s mansion, execute the president.”

 

Bracciale and Blackmore’s language might be extreme, but their overall ethos—that progressive activism demands a robust, cosmic-level, anti-Christian (or at least, anti-conservative, evangelical Christian) metaphysical and rhetoric grounding—has permeated activist culture more broadly. Last month, for example, when pro-choice advocates marched on the South Carolina State House to protest the Alabama abortion ban, protesters held signs identifying themselves as “the grandchildren of the witches you could not burn.” (This phrase has also been spotted on placards at the annual Women’s March). Millennial-focused sites like Vice’s Broadly and Bust have sympathetically profiled the progressive potential of Satanic feminism in particular: One Broadly profile of an LA-based Satanic doo-wop band proclaims them “Feminist as fuck”, while another piece attempts to rehabilitate the mythological demon Lilith as “a Chill Demon” and a “powerful figure with a continued relevance for women today.” …

Would like to nominate the article for notables. Published June 7th but I don't recall it being a notable yet. Reason for nomination is day shift may want to flesh out more specifics as we're likely to see a huge uptick in occult activity directed against POTUS now since his announcement at the rally last night.
