ANTI-SATANIST FRENZY
|
|
|
|
In The Watcher #8 we reported on the activities of an expellee of
|
|
the Wairapapa based Order of the Sword of Damocles in her recruiting of
|
|
youngsters for a 'devil worshipping cult'. Apparently drug abuse was
|
|
involved, and of course the media and social workers made the most of it to
|
|
launch an anti- Satanist crusade.
|
|
On the tail end of these goings-on came sensationalistic media
|
|
reports of 'Satanic child ritual abuse', given a guise of credibility by
|
|
the statement of so-called therapists and Snr Sgt Gabites of the Hutt
|
|
police, who us supposed to be some kind of an authority on the subject.
|
|
The editor of The Watcher has made representations to the police
|
|
and social welfare departments, discussing the bogus nature of the ritual
|
|
abuse claims, and has challenged Gabites to offer reliable evidence of any
|
|
kind which can directly associate Satanism with child abuse. We have also
|
|
asked Gabites whether he will be investigating the Catholic clergy in NZ,
|
|
given the proven example of a Catholic priest's sexual misconduct in
|
|
Auckland last year (while no such examples can be offered of satanist
|
|
sexual molestation, despite the mountains of garbage claimed on the
|
|
subject). We will be dealing with these matters at greater length in the
|
|
next issue of The Watcher. In the interim we have issued the booklet
|
|
Debunking the Witch-hunters ($4) completely exposing the neurotic origins
|
|
of this scam.

Satanism and Child-Abuse
|
|
|
|
by Anton Long (order of Nine Angles)
|
|
|
|
Allegations have been made, and continue to be made, concerning
|
|
"Satanic" child-abuse - that is, the sexual abuse of children as part of
|
|
Satanic rituals, practices and beliefs.
|
|
As an authority on Satanism, having been actively involved in
|
|
Satanism for nearly twenty-five years, and being the Grand Master
|
|
representing traditional Satanist groups, I can write expertly about this
|
|
matter.
|
|
Genuine Satanism - like all genuine magick - is a path, way or
|
|
method of individual self- development. Rituals may be and often are a
|
|
part of this, but these rituals all conform to certain patterns: they are
|
|
all intended to aid and explicate self-understanding and development, as
|
|
well as enhance and develop certain 'Occult' abilities. Naturally, some
|
|
rituals and methods are concerned with the individual experiencing certain
|
|
emotions and, in Satanism, enjoying certain pleasures. However, because of
|
|
the aim of Satanism [to aid the attainment by the individual of magickal
|
|
and personal understanding and thus promote evolution and self-mastery],
|
|
this experiencing involves a conscious choice or decision by the
|
|
individual. This makes Satanism of necessity an adult path or way - for
|
|
genuine Satanism, of the traditional type, is not concerned with
|
|
proselytizing nor "corrupting" others without their consent. Its concern -
|
|
it must be repeated - is individual advancement arising from a conscious
|
|
and free decision by the individual - anything else is not Satanic as it is
|
|
not magickal. This free choice is part of all genuine Occult and magickal
|
|
paths: Initiation means this free choice, the decision to begin an inner
|
|
quest. When there is no free choice about the matter, there is no genuine
|
|
Initiation - whatever path or way is being followed. Where Satanism
|
|
differs, is in its aim, the philosophy of life and the techniques used to
|
|
achieve the aim - these make it a "Left Handed Path" [when viewed
|
|
conventionally].
|
|
Thus, there cannot be any such thing as 'childhood Initiation' -
|
|
nor participation by children under a certain age in any genuine magickal
|
|
rituals. What there can be: what there often is - in genuine Satanism at
|
|
least - is the simple dedication of infants by their parents to the darker
|
|
path, and this involves only the appointing of guardians to watch over and
|
|
care for the child(ren):"Do you, so chosen, pledge to guard and watch over
|
|
this newborn and to teach them when the teaching time is right, our ways
|
|
..." [from 'The Ceremony of Birth' in "The Black Book of Satan" (ONA)] The
|
|
time for teaching is when the child, in accord with Satanic philosophy, can
|
|
choose for themselves - sixteen years of age or thereafter - that is, when
|
|
they have attained the threshold of adulthood.
|
|
Hence, there is not, and cannot be, any such thing as "Satanic"
|
|
child-abuse: there can be no child- hood 'initiation', no participation by
|
|
children under a certain age in rituals, and no abuse, by adult Satanists,
|
|
of children. This latter is important - Satanism is concerned with the
|
|
individual gaining self-mastery and self-understanding. The abuser
|
|
(whether of children, drugs or pleasures) is swayed by mostly unconscious
|
|
desires and impulses - they may manipulate and try to control others who
|
|
are susceptible, but they cannot control themselves, or even begin to
|
|
understand their 'darker' side. In short, they are weak - and generally
|
|
rather pathetic -individuals, although they may hide behind a "mask" or a
|
|
"role". Such people are not Satanists, but rather failures. The Satanist
|
|
aspires to self-mastery, self-overcoming: to knowledge ...
|
|
The popular image of Satanism is a lie - a myth invented and
|
|
fostered by those who have a vested interest in maintaining it. Organized
|
|
religions and under-developed individuals need such myths, as they need
|
|
stereotyped enemies: for only by such means can such people and such
|
|
religions survive and flourish. Many believe, with that certainty that
|
|
faith and fanaticism bring, the myths about Satanism and the more general
|
|
myths about ritual 'child-abuse'. I and a few others like me ca present
|
|
the facts - in my case about Satanism - but it needs an unbiased mind, a
|
|
certain mental freedom, to consider these facts as they should be
|
|
considered, and then make an informed judgement about the matter. It is
|
|
this freedom which a biased, religious intolerance destroys.
|
|
The real question about Satanic child-abuse (and ritual abuse
|
|
itself) is thus a question about attitude, belief and commitment to
|
|
reasoned thought and debate. Long after Science showed the Earth was not
|
|
at the centre of the Universe, the Church - its ministers and its faithful
|
|
- continued to believe otherwise, confirmed in their certainty of faith.
|
|
Do we, now - concerning this question of Satanic child- abuse - return to
|
|
the Dark Age of faith, of believing what certain Church people wish us to
|
|
believe to bolster their religion and rather intolerant view of the world;
|
|
or do we go forward to greater understanding based on an acceptance of the
|
|
facts?
|
|
These facts show that Satanic child abuse - and ritual abuse itself
|
|
- is a myth.

MODERN WITCH-HUNT
|
|
A big joke or a serious threat?
|
|
|
|
- Markku Siira, Finland -
|
|
|
|
I thought it would never happen again. I though it was all just a
|
|
madness of the dark middle ages. But today we face it again, the
|
|
witch-hunt, in a modern form. The fundamentalist christian churches and
|
|
sensation-mongering media are after the 'modern witches'. They are hunting
|
|
us, the Satanists. It seems to be their primary belief that we are
|
|
child-abusers, ritual murderers and psychopaths. The worldwide anti-
|
|
Satanist hysteria grows and grows...are we just waiting for the new
|
|
Inquisition?
|
|
|
|
First USA, then Britain, South-Africa, New-Zealand and soon
|
|
probably the other countries as well, if people are everywhere so blind and
|
|
easily led. Yes, the propagandists have done their job well. Whenever
|
|
there comes in headline a crime like child-abuse, murder under mysterious
|
|
circumstances, cannibalism or some other pervert and insane deed,
|
|
christians and other wide-eyed fanatics are immediately ready to point
|
|
their fingers on us. They don't care to find out the real truth.
|
|
|
|
And why is it so? Various Satanist Order have many many years
|
|
openly told what Satanism is all about; a path to self-mastery, freedom and
|
|
personal godhood, but some people don't understand, we are always portrayed
|
|
as criminals. Of course, the lunatic, who has killed someone 'in the name
|
|
of Satan' gets much more publicity than matured and intelligent Satanist,
|
|
who firmly tells about real Satanism and its philosophy. It is simple: by
|
|
then, the TV and newspapers will get more money. Christian churches and
|
|
other slave-creeds also need a scapegoat to blame to get more attention and
|
|
approval of the masses.
|
|
Well, there still seems to be at least few people, who carefully
|
|
consider the crimes before judging anybody. FBI (!), for example, made a
|
|
serious research and analysis about the so-called Satanic, occultistic and
|
|
ritualistic crimes and what came to light: "the fact is that far more
|
|
crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God,
|
|
Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many
|
|
people don't like that statement, but few can argue with it."
|
|
|
|
Is the whole anti-Satanist hysteria then just a big joke, which
|
|
will be forgotten quite soon, or are there really a serious threat growing
|
|
against Satanists? Only time can tell, but should we just sit and wait for
|
|
the final judgement? Oh no, now we should stand in union, though the
|
|
individuals we are truly are and truly make it clear for the people what
|
|
real Satanism is and what we stand for. We got to fight for our rights and
|
|
more then symbolically trample those religious fanatics underfoot. Let's
|
|
start now!!!

Letters to the editor
|
|
|
|
(From: Evening Post 18/9/91)
|
|
|
|
Allegations not credible
|
|
|
|
Sir, Allegations of so-called "Satanic" child ritual abuse have about as
|
|
much credibility as the claims of UFO abductees (The Post, Sept 3).
|
|
While one may forgive, indeed expect, social workers to swallow
|
|
such nonsense indiscriminately, of greater concern is the degree of
|
|
respectability given to the claims by Senior Sergeant Laurie Gabites.
|
|
He should be aware that these allegations, which have amounted to
|
|
an hysterical later-day witch- hunt in the US, have been exhaustively
|
|
investigated by Kenneth Lanning of the FBI, who concluded there was no
|
|
evidence of a single case of "Satanic" ritual crime, and that the subject
|
|
had become a "growth industry" for self-styled experts.
|
|
Robert Hicks, an analyst with the criminal Justice Department of
|
|
Virginia, described a loose network of therapists, fundamentalists and
|
|
policemen perpetuating the myth.
|
|
Dr Mulbern of the University of Paris, after studying the "adult
|
|
survivor" claims, accuses therapists of "a paranoid reading of the data".
|
|
At the risk of providing further grist for Senior Sergeant Gabite's
|
|
mill, he may be interested to know that the latest revelation of the
|
|
anti-Satanist crusaders is that Paul Daniels and Prince Charles are in
|
|
league with the devil.
|
|
With similar claims being made against yoga, astrology and
|
|
acupuncture our local witch-hunters are guaranteed many busy years.

Uncle Setnakt Says
|
|
|
|
Uncle Setnakt would like to share with you a few exercises you can
|
|
do with his favourite subject Darkness.
|
|
1. Close your eyes. Inside this Darkness, you can picture
|
|
anything. Conjure up the notion of an extraterrestrial invader. One
|
|
entirely of your own making. The fact you can visualize this here-to-fore
|
|
nonexistent object shows that your awareness is not bound to nor
|
|
constrained by the natural order. The knowledge that your stand separate
|
|
from the universe is the beginning of the Left Hand Path.
|
|
2. Look at the stars. Find a grassy hill and look up at the stars
|
|
on a warm, clear moonless night. Relax and let your mind soar towards the
|
|
stars. That feeling of falling up into the Abyss of Stars is a predictable
|
|
part of your natural self. The desire to project your psyche to its utmost
|
|
limits is one of the forces that drives the Initiate along the Left Hand
|
|
Path. It is why we choose role models like Set, the first historic example
|
|
of the rebel against cosmic injustice.
|
|
3. Sit quietly in a darkened room. Find a place away from radio,
|
|
TV, family etc. Here alone and away from a constant stream of messages
|
|
telling you what to think, just relax and see where your own thoughts go.
|
|
Don't try to interfere. This may be the first time you've heard your own
|
|
voice. When you've done this for a few minutes, light a candle and write
|
|
down three things -- the thought that surprised you the most, the desire
|
|
that appeared most often in your thoughts, and the thought from somewhere
|
|
else (advertising jingle etc.) that intruded the most. The next day search
|
|
out the source of the unusual thought - - this brings your actions in line
|
|
with your godhood. Do something that distances you from the unwanted mind
|
|
control (even if it's just being aware of it and rejecting it) -- this
|
|
bring you closer to controlling your own mind.
|
|
4. Make a list of associations. Write down all the things that
|
|
Darkness implies. Start with personal things like, "Darkness is excitement
|
|
-- Father Christmas brings me goodies in the dark. Darkness is the time of
|
|
transformation -- many times has my mind made monsters out of the pile of
|
|
laundry at the foot of the bed. Darkness is the time of sexual arousal
|
|
--etc." Then add historical meanings of Darkness, "Darkness plus the sound
|
|
of the bullroarer creates the sacred space for Aboriginal initiation.
|
|
Darkness is the time when Vampyres are said to roam. Etc." When you've
|
|
made your list consider what the Prince of Darkness can mean as model for
|
|
your own Initiation. Consider how these things stimulate your imagination
|
|
and will.
|
|
5. Make of Night a personal symbol. It is in the nature of
|
|
mankind to assign meaning to events in the meaningless natural order. They
|
|
fashion constellations, omens, etc. and then bend themselves to their
|
|
creations. The Black Magician can consciously assign a symbol to an
|
|
operation and use that symbol for his/her own growth -- and discard it when
|
|
necessary. Since night is the traditional time for Satanic/Black Magical
|
|
activity, you may wish to invest it with meaning. Hold a ritual that
|
|
places a certain meaning in the dark of night -- so that its coming will
|
|
begin to Work your soul automatically. I choose, "Night is a time of
|
|
rebirth." This way, the nonego parts of mySelf begin to recharge the
|
|
batteries of inspiration and magic every time the sky darkens. If I am
|
|
doing some other kind of Work as part of my life work of Becoming, I can
|
|
choose another meaning.
|
|
6. Seek out the Brothers of Darkness. Learning the art of magic
|
|
goes a hell of a lot swifter if you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
|
|
You'll accomplish your goals faster if you're drawing on the experience of
|
|
others. It's a lot easier Working with people who think the way you do.
|
|
Look around for a group whose approach to Darkness is the same or very
|
|
similar to yours. If the group has been around for a few years, you have
|
|
the additional benefit that some of their magic has already Worked itself
|
|
into the fabric of the objective universe and you have a greater magical
|
|
lever to use for your own Work. Uncle Setnakt is, of course, a proud
|
|
member of the Temple of Set.
|
|
7. Contemplate Darkness as a place of growth. In the soulcraft of
|
|
the ancient Germanic peoples is a concept very useful to the Left Hand
|
|
Path. The Sal is that part of the soul into which one evolves. It is a
|
|
holder of potential, a dark vessel that cannot be filled. By using this
|
|
imagery life is not a simple discovery of the self, but an active creation
|
|
that may be consciously drafted. As long as their is Darkness, one can
|
|
grow -- there are no limits except those you consciously create. If you
|
|
become aware of this Dark container within you, it can become more than a
|
|
mere symbol, but an actual vessel for awareness to survive after death.
|
|
8. Contemplate Darkness as a symbol of mystery. In the Right Hand
|
|
Path, white light is used as a symbol of Initiation. In the light
|
|
everything is quickly revealed and the self extinguishes itself because of
|
|
boredom. There are no mysteries, nothing to discover, and ultimately
|
|
nothing to think about since there is a total unity between the perceiver
|
|
and the perceived. In the Left Hand Path Darkness is the symbol of
|
|
mystery. By accepting Darkness, you accept dynamism -- you don't know what
|
|
lies within your Black Heart. And as you discover more and more; the
|
|
desires from within cause you to act to bring your deepest Self into Being
|
|
in the objective world. In short as you become the Self created god you
|
|
must create creations. Ultimately you will begin to have a sense of the
|
|
great twofold secret -- one pole of which lies deep within yourSelf -- the
|
|
other is hidden deeply within the objective universe.
|
|
9. Seek to unleash the Darkness in others. Look for and
|
|
strengthen the manifestations of Darkness in those around you. This should
|
|
be done very gently and with great forethought. After you have begun to
|
|
master steps 7 and 8 above consider that Darkness also resides in the other
|
|
human beings around you. If you can transmit some of that excitement and
|
|
potential for awareness into others -- not only will you have made the
|
|
world a more darkly resplendent place to live, but you will have opened up
|
|
the world around you for more exciting potentials for your own growth.
|
|
Uncle Setnakt hopes you have a pleasant day.

BOOK REVIEWS
|
|
|
|
The Black Book of Satan
|
|
|
|
According to tradition, each Master or Mistress who was responsible
|
|
for a particular Satanic Temple or group, was given on his or her
|
|
assumption of that responsibility, a copy of the Black Book of Satan. The
|
|
Black Book contained the basic Satanic rituals, instructions relating to
|
|
ceremonial magick in general. It was the duty for the Master or Mistress
|
|
to keep this book safe, and non-Initiates of the Temple were forbidden to
|
|
see it. Copies were forbidden to be made, although Initiates above the
|
|
grade of External Adept were allowed to see and read the Temple copy.
|
|
In traditional Satanism (i.e. those using the Septenary System:
|
|
this system also being known as the Hebdomadry) this practice continued
|
|
until quite recently when the Grand Master representing traditional groups
|
|
decided to allow Initiates of good standing to copy the work. This
|
|
decision was recently extended to enable specialist publication in a
|
|
limited edition.
|
|
The whole text of the traditional Black Book is included in the
|
|
present work, together with several additional chapters (e.g.
|

Self-Initiation; Organizing and Running a Temple). These additions make
|
|
this present work a concise practical handbook for those seriously
|
|
interested in the Black Arts.

(From the Foreword)

|
|
|
The Black Book of Satan. Brekekk, PO Box 109 Newport, Gwent NP6 1XZ Wales
|
|
(15 Pounds, $US36.) cheques & MOs payable to 'Brekekk'. 65pp, limited ed.
|
|
of 756 numbered copies.
|
|
If the above introduction has conjured up images of 'sinister'
|
|
chants and hidden rites to nameless beings under stars and within stone
|
|
circles, then the purchase of this book will not be a disappointment.
|
|
Here Satanism comes alive in one's mind if you read, and in reality
|
|
if you decide to become a practitioner of its rites and ways. Be warned,
|
|
this is NOT the Satanism of the carnival which is of the type most
|
|
publicized today. It is a heathenistic, primal Satanism which evokes both
|
|
the Earth and the stars, the path back to primal chaos and forward -
|
|
Faustian style - through the galaxies.
|
|
This is a ritual book which allows the reader to form his/her own
|
|
Temple. It includes definitions of the Satanic philosophy, how to organize
|
|
a coven and set up Temple furnishings, rites of the Black Mass, Ceremony of
|
|
Birth, and Death, Pledging (marriage), initiation, consecrating your
|
|
temple, a funeral rite and a rite of self-initiation.
|
|
A highlight of the book is four full-page colour prints from the
|
|
Sinister Tarot by Christos Beest. These are profoundly beautiful and
|
|
enchanting masterpieces of satanic art.

Esoteric Order of Dagon: An Introduction (rev. by Fr. Nephren-Ka XXIII*
|
|
Miskatonik Uni. Press 1991ev. PO Box 175, 52 Call Lane, Leeds LS1 6DT
|
|
Engl.).
|
|
This booklet of 16 pages outlines the history, structure and scope
|
|
of the Esoteric Order of Dagon.
|
|
EOD utilizes the Cthulu Mythos of the horror and fantasy writer H P
|
|
Lovecraft as a method of exploring the Unconscious.
|
|
The Order claims descent from the Sirius mystery cults of ancient
|
|
Egypt, Babylon and Sumeria. Other influences include Crowley and the
|
|
Crowleyan author Kenneth Grant, who also attaches occult significance to
|
|
the writings of Lovecraft. Membership is open to those who can show that
|
|
they have made a contribution to the occult sciences. A number of journals
|
|
are published.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
|
|
I just wanted to commend you on the quality of your newsletter. I
|
|
recently completed the priesthood course, and found it outstanding. I am
|
|
breaking away from LaVey-based Satanism, as it is far too limiting, though
|
|
I am keeping some of its viewpoints that I find useful.
|
|
As for the Alliance of the Infernal Altar, I am still on a go-ahead
|
|
basis, and I have done much of my groundwork done. I am going to expand
|
|
the correspondence course idea by offering several courses on various
|
|
aspects of Satanism.
|
|
There has been a slight modification to the military postal system,
|
|
so I present my new address to all who are interested: George T Veeder IV,

A MESSAGE FROM THE DAIMON EGAN 111 OF THE ANCIENT BROTHERHOOD OF SATAN TO
|
|
NEW ZEALAND SATANISTS........
|
|
|
|
BRIMSTONE
|
|
P.O. Box 660
|
|
Marstons Mills, MA 02648
|
|
|
|
Dear OSD members,
|
|
|
|
Greetings from America and the Ancient Brotherhood of Satan. It is
|
|
thrilling to know that, indeed, the Order of the Sword of Damocles is
|
|
living up to its name - your recent adversity presents a most unique
|
|
challenge!
|
|
The mortal world is evolving through some difficult changes and
|
|
when they refuse to confront their failures and weaknesses, then
|
|
scapegoating is always the order of the day. Historically, the Devil is
|
|
always blamed -- but this can no longer be tolerated! The modern-day
|
|
Satanist must hold a glaring mirror up to the face of society, to encourage
|
|
individual responsibility, to promote natural law.
|
|
Invariably, I always hear the Satanist complain that such
|
|
"activism" conflicts with his "rational self-interest." When we resist the
|
|
status quo, we expose ourselves to ridicule. martyrdom, and allow
|
|
intrusion into our private lives... yes, it's true! However, should we
|
|
succeed with our efforts, these inconveniences could be short lived.
|
|
Already, New Zealanders speak of a total ban on certain
|
|
"undesirable religious practices." What next? A curfew on teenagers? The
|
|
search of certain suspect's homes and the seizure of their belongings? And
|
|
then?
|
|
Hysteria can loose a state of siege - and then reach a pitch! In
|
|
Europe alone, more than 30 million accused Satanists were tortured, burned
|
|
and killed in the most horrifying manner. Here in Massachusetts, many were
|
|
hung. Could it happen again? Will you allow it to? What is your best
|
|
"self- interest?" - Is it not to serve to better the community in which you
|
|
live and work? Is it not the legacy you leave your children and
|
|
generations to come?
|
|
As we grow older and wiser and learn to face "reality," we discover
|
|
that it is much easier to change our minds, rather than change the world.
|
|
This is why we must never lose our youth, enthusiasm and idealism.
|
|
Let us then each raise the hammer of Nietzsche, and strike a blow
|
|
for individual liberty - low and hard and often! Be relentless, and
|
|
overcome the fear that is in your heart! Together we can make a
|
|
difference. The future of the Gifted Race rests in the balance...
|
|
|
|
Yours In Understanding,
|
|
|

ENOCHIAN PATHWORKING
|
|
|
|
Pathworking is a highly effective yet relatively simple form of
|
|
magick. It is to the occultist what word association and ink blot tests
|
|
are to the psychiatrist, although the Pathworking occultist is concerned
|
|
with tapping not only his unconscious, but reading the record of the
|
|
collective unconscious, with its rich array of archetypes and sources of
|
|
timeless wisdom.
|
|
The Pathworker will use the Tarot card, sigil or rune to induce a
|
|
shift in conscious. Jungian psychologists use a similar method called
|
|
active imagination, where a single dream image is focussed upon. The
|
|
following examples of Pathworking with the Enochian alphabet may be of
|
|
interest.
|
|
|
|
Enochian GAL = D
|
|
Greeted by an awkward looking bird like a Dodo. It states that it
|
|
is 'king Olaf's bird'. Suddenly it transforms itself into a giant warrior,
|
|
armoured, helmeted and holding a club. He states that he is one of 'king
|
|
Olaf's men' and he takes me to see this king. He is an old man dressed in
|
|
a white robe, with long white hair and beard, seated on a throne. The
|
|
giant lift his club and kills the king. He then engages another giant in
|
|
battle and is himself killed.
|
|
Night falls. A waxing moon appears in the sky, which the giants
|
|
appear to regard in awe.
|
|
Daybreak, and a mounted column appears, burning villages in its
|
|
path. The earth become covered in blood, which the horse wade through.
|
|
The column carries at its head a banner upon which is the Enochian letter
|
|
GAL. The leader states - sarcastically - 'we are king Olaf's men."
|
|
I am told that the giants have a mission based on force. I ask the
|
|
purpose of this, which receives the reply: "In destruction there is
|
|
creation."
|
|
|
|
The peaceful, aged king who is killed by a warrior giant, serves as
|
|
a contrast, indicating that these warriors would not be bound by peaceful
|
|
ways under a decrepit ruler.
|
|
They seem to be moon worshippers (worshippers of the Greater Mother
|
|
Goddess archetype who demands the blood of her enemies - e.g. Hecate,
|
|
Kali).
|
|
This warrior race which is impelled even to battle each other,
|
|
reminiscent of the biblical legend of the 'Giants', offspring of the Fallen
|
|
Angels.
|
|
However, these seem to be of Norse rather than Hebraic origin,
|
|
there having been several kings by the name of Olaf in 10th and 11th C.
|
|
Norway.
|
|
|
|
MALS = P
|
|
Confronted by a white wall in which there is an entrance in
|
|
blackness. There is a black robed sage sitting at a table reading a book;
|
|
other similar sages, some writing. A knight comes forth, and sits to read
|
|
with one of the sages.
|
|
Another knight appears, mounted and tries to kill the sages but is
|
|
beaten back by the first knight. I come upon a group of burning books,
|
|
pass them and enter a cave in which sits a sage with many books. Outside,
|
|
other knights come to try and slaughter the sages, while their protector
|
|
fights a rear-guard action to facilitate their escape.
|
|
Interpretation: conflict between learning and bigotry. The
|
|
protector-knight is a combination of scholar-warrior: civilization is
|
|
defended by force. Religious bigotry is indicated by book burning. A few
|
|
sages keep culture alive by retreating to the caves and forests away from
|
|
the ignorant mass, as a new Dark Age approaches.
