The Wild Hunt: A modern Pagan Perspective.

  Feeling Horny?




"Bush neutered his rhetoric of spreading the fire of freedom to nations around the world and quite possibly solidified his status as the Middle East poster-child of the Great Satan. He did it by flashing what is being interpreted as the 'devil horns' hand salute...The 'Texas hook 'em' hand signal is done with the right hand whereas a full-blown satanic salute is done with the sinistria, or left hand. Both use the middle and ring fingers curled beneath the thumb with the pinky and index extended. The book Satanism in America states that the 'horned hand' is the sign of recognition between those who are 'in the occult' and depicts this as a left, not right hand. The right hand, however, symbolizes the horned god, the hunter, who goes by Cernunnos and Pan in Celtic and Greek mythologies respectively. Cernunnos/Pan was targeted by early Christian churches as an unacceptable symbol of paganism, and Pan?s trident later became a symbol of Satan himself. Jerry Falwell, along with some Wiccans, must be choked." - Aaron Braaten, The Gateway

Choked? By him winning the presidential race maybe.
