>Satanic Symbolism Surrounding the Death of Princess Diana
And what, pray tell, is 'satanic' about any of the supposed symbols?
>The city of Paris was founded in the sixth century AD by
>the Sicambrian Franks, an aryan race of middle-eastern
>extraction. They were keen followers of occult pracices,
If true, what exactly in their practice do you construe as 'satanic'?
Or are you implying you equate ANYTHING labeled 'occult' as the equivalent of
'satanic'?
If so, you may be surprised to know that the term 'occult' is used every day in
hospitals and medical
facilities around the world.
So are you going to tell us that every hospital, and that every doctor and nurse, is
'satanic'?
>and ritual and ceremonial magic was integral to their daily life.
And so? That doesn't mean they were satanists.
>The central religious deity the Franks worshipped was the
>Moon Goddess known to the Romans as Diana, (aka Artemis,
>Isis, and others).
And what is 'satanic' regarding any of the above?
>The Franks built an underground chamber for the worship of
>Diana outside the Isle-de-la-Cite. Sacrifices to the Moon
>Goddess were made here,
If true, then they were Dianic, not Satanic...
>Allegedly a "symbol of Liberty", and a memorial to French

Perhaps not in the strictest sense...but it is definitely NOT 'satanic'...unless you
are going to tell us the
fifty stars on the U.S. flag are also 'satanic'...
The 5-pointed pentagram IS utilized by non-satanic pagans of various flavors when
working a 'magic
circle'...it is a symbol of power and of protection from negative and evil
influences...
Satanists -- who are nothing more than Roman Catholics turning their religion inside
out and upside down --
usurped the symbol, utilizing a reversed pentagram as a sign to welcome negative and
evil forces...
But just as the cross has been in use long before Christianity usurped it, just as the
swastika was in long
use before the German National Socialists adopted a reversed swastika as their
national symbol, so too with
the symbol of a 5-pointed star long antiquates the modern use by modern satanists...
>The Moon Goddess is frequently said to be as female energy form
And the female energy form equates to 'satanism'....how?
>The latter, Hecate, the Queen of the Underworld, is very heavily
>associated with occult practices and ritual sacrifice.
True. But it has naught to do with satanism. Hecate predates satanism by centuries.
>"Hecate's Day" is August 13th,
Your source for this is....?
>but Satanic rituals, (black as opposed to white magic), to
>Hecate are better carried out on the 31st, reversal of numerals
>popular in Satanism.
And again, your source for this is...?
>The underlying contention being that there exists a Satanic
>group located at the extreme apex of our society, practising
>ritual magic.
We're still waiting for any proof that any of this, even if true, has aught to do with
satanism.
All the practices you mention, except human sacrafice, are common practices of any
number of pagan and wiccan
groups...so are you claiming that these groups are the same as satanists?
