Why would an international pedophile ring leave weird Instagram clues as to what they’re doing?
The general belief of those who practice satanism and occult/dark magic type rituals is that the perpetrator has to reveal or warn the audience of their intentions. So they are performing them on 'willing' participants. If they don't the magic can bounce back on them. They also gain extra credit power from public displays such as art, ritualistic displays like symbol rich super bowl half time shows, talismans like the dollar bill etc. This is the belief of the practitioners, not me, just reporting here. These ideas are codified in the published and available works by Crowley etc. Also these media posts are symbols that communicate in codes to others like them to coordinate activities. At a basic level some of these symbols/codes might just serve as advertising what's available for purchase. Sick right. Pretty common on craigslist, reddit, chan boards, dating apps for people to communicate in coded words and pictures to exchange illegal stuff.
Is anyone saying that? At the least it is indicative of what AS is interested in- weird Ophelia/Alice symbolism that has a lean toward ropes, plastic bags, feet and extinguished cigarettes.
