Sarah Palin?s Black Magic?connections
Back in March I published an article here at Article Base titled “How to Use Magick Spells to Positively Affect the Presidential Election – and Why You Should”.
The new Republican Vice Presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, is a perfect example of what NOT to do with magic!
Just so you know I’m not making this up (truth really is way stranger than fiction), the source for this information is an alternet.org article titled “A Look Inside Sarah Palin’s Pentecostal Church” by Bruce Wilson.
To wit:
“Sarah Palin’s churches are actively involved in a resurgent movement that was declared heretical by the Assemblies of God in 1949. This is the same ‘Spiritual Warfare’ movement that was featured in the award winning movie, “Jesus Camp,” which showed young children being trained to do battle for the Lord. At least three of four of Palin’s churches are involved with major organizations and leaders of this movement, which is referred to as The Third Wave of the Holy Spirit or the New Apostolic Reformation. The movement is training a young “Joel’s Army” to take dominion over the United States and the world…. The beliefs and manifestations of the movement include the use of ‘strategic level spiritual warfare’ to expel territorial demons from American and world cities…. “The World Prayer Center … is often referred to by those familiar with the Third Wave as the ‘Pentagon for Spiritual Warfare.’… Wagner [founder of the World Prayer Center] and his group also claim that the Queen of Heaven [whom the article earlier states they believe “to be one of the most powerful demons over the earth”] is … the god of Mary veneration in the Roman Catholic Church. Following [a] … prayer excursion …, one of the lead prayer intercessors … reported that there had been dramatic results including, ‘…an earthquake had destroyed the basilica of Assisi, where the Pope had called a meeting of all world religions; … and Mother Theresa died in India, one of the most famous advocates of Mary as Co-Redeemer.'”
Anyone is free in the United States of America to practice any religion. Using the tools and techniques of that religion to attempt to cause death and destruction is, however, the blackest kind of magic. Praying for someone to die, as these people apparently did with Mother Theresa and Princess Diana, or praying for earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters, is black magic. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the film “Jesus Camp,” it portrays a “Christian” (Dominionist) summer camp where children of all ages were being taught that the United States government is evil, and they were given hammers to smash upside-down white porcelain teacups to destroy that evil. Any juxtaposition with the campers’ trip to Washington D.C. at the end of the movie, standing in front of the great big upside-down white teacup that is the Capital dome, was, I’m sure, intentional. Taking a symbolic action on something that is used to represent something similar (such as smashing a teacup meant to represent the Capital dome) is a form of sympathetic magic. In this instance, because the intention was destruction, it is again the blackest form of magic.
Any ethical and moral person should be outraged at such activities. Any true-believing Christian should be doubly outraged that these black magicians are running around calling themselves Christians. Any red-blooded American should be horrified that a woman deeply connected to such a hate-mongering, anti-constitutional group is being put forward to be the next Vice President, and by implication possibly the next President, of the United States.
This is NOT the sort of woman we can afford to have in the Vice President’s office. When, not if, McCain dies of old age in office (in the unfortunate circumstance that he is elected), this woman would have her finger on the nuclear trigger. And if she won’t stop short of praying for an earthquake to destroy the Pope at the basilica of Assisi, what’s to stop her from aiming a nuclear missile right at the Vatican?
I’m used to these right wing fanatics taking aim at paganism. But when they start threatening my 76-year-old Catholic mother, it becomes personal.
We have to get the word out about how dangerous a McCain/Palin administration would be to our civil liberties, for this country, and for the world. I have a bullet point list of all the reasons such an administration would lead us straight to Armageddon and the Apocalypse. Consider taking a look at my own article referenced earlier, to find out the correct, positive way to use magick to influence a political election. And please do read the full Alternet article, also referenced above, to find out just how bad this really is.
