Entrance into satanic circles Certain attitudes play into the hands of Satanism by, more or less consciously, providing impetus to its diffusion in today's society. The first of these can be identified with the underestimation of this phenomenon, by holding that it is a marginal fact of no importance or relevance, a kind of parlor game or role-playing whose possible perversity can nevertheless be socially tolerated. Some of the ways by which it is possible to come more easily into contact with a Satanist group include the following: … the idolatrous attraction shown to some singers and rock groups, who are allowed, through the messages of their songs, to curse, to invite to suicide, homicide, violence, sexual perversion, the use of drugs, necrophilia and involvement with Satanism. Various problems of contemporary society certainly contribute to making the ground more fertile for satanic influence. Among these we find the loneliness of the individual in the midst of impersonal and am orphic masses, the impact of circles which denigrate Christianity and seek to dissolve it into their own vision, the disintegration of the family caused by the weakening, if not loss, of faith in God, which alone is capable of bringing love, harmony and unity to the family. _____________________________________________________________________ Comments from Steve Wood: Children wounded by divorce may seek an escape and healing refuge in the occult world of Harry Potter.
