A Girl’s Life
June 4, 2014
MORGAN GEYSER, one of two 12-year-old Wisconsin girls — yes, 12-year-old girls — who are accused of acting as proxies for an Internet paranormal character and stabbing a friend 19 times, led a suburban American life that was saturated with Satanic imagery. Her father is a fan of the ‘stoner” band, Deadboy and the Elephantmen (flyer below.) Her mother decorated the house with Gothic imagery.
At Morgan’s trial, it will probably be argued that she was having mental problems. Who wouldn’t in such a setting?
Anyone who is surprised by the increase in irrational and savage behavior by adolescents is living in a dream world, cut off from the real world. Anyone who denies that school shootings and teenage murders represent a significant trend is living in a dream world. Anyone who thinks parents can “monitor their children’s Internet use” and in that way shield them from the demonic imagery, music and pop fiction all around us is living in a dream world.
That is not to say people should panic. There is no need to panic, only to act wisely and confidently against this supernatural adversary who is weaker, much weaker, than God and whose most effective strategy is to convince us that he doesn’t really exist.
Wake up, America! You need an exorcism!

From my misspent youth and my nights working as a door man at a night club frequented by “gothic” types, I learned that there are a surprising number of people who adorn themselves and inundate their children with straight-forwardly demonic imagery and entertainment–and who nevertheless regard it as a merely aesthetic affectation or a matter of taste. It is extremely difficult to convince such people, or those who are their friends, that one cannot simply adopt Satanic “tastes” without consequence to one’s psyche. It is, to their minds, all in good fun and because people today have a depressingly literal cast of mind, they do not take seriously the suggestion that there could be anything unhealthy in any of it.
It is hard to know what to do, except to avoid such people, for the very reasons illustrated in this case. One simply cannot know when a person who is of strong will, but who is weak in mind and spirit, might succumb to this sort of contamination and turn their self-mutilation outward onto others. The signs will be especially hard to detect in girls, and all the more shocking to their friends and relations as a consequence.
What a disaster.

One summer when I was about 12 or 13 I went to summer camp. One of my bunkmates whom I shall call James was very interested in the “Magik” of Aleister Crowley. He was also interested in demonology and Satan worship. While my mother was sending me a photo book about the film “Grease” (which had come out at the time and was something I was wild about), James parents sent him a copy of a seventeenth century grimoire called Goetia! James was overweight and rarely bathed. When he did shower he rarely used soap. Just water. He was nice most of the times, but could turn on a dime and was generally a very weird kid.
One night in the bunkhouse we were all telling ghost stories when James told us that he had an altar in the woods. Being curious young adolescents, we snuck out that night and followed him into the woods. Sure enough he had carved an altar into a small tree stump which included horns like the Devil. In the ensuing 20 minutes or so he pulled a live frog out of a bag (probably from a nearby pond), sacrificed and burned it, and then proceeded to pray to Satan with his hands clasped in an inverted prayer position. We were all thoroughly horrified and just left him there. Needless to say, our relationship with him changed dramatically after that night.
Later on that summer he was kicked out of the camp for breaking into someone’s home adjacent to the campgrounds where he tried to steal the homeowner’s guns! I can only guess as to what has become of James in the ensuing years. The real irony here is that both of his parents were psychiatrists. Shrinks of the hippy-dippy variety. I bet that some of these Satanic books were sitting on the old man’s bookshelf and that’s how James was introduced to that stuff. But to then encourage it!? Dad was probably proud. Thought his boy was intelligent beyond his years and esoteric. A real chip off the old block. That worked out well, didn’t it?
