satanism Styled In Numerology
(Apollonian, 1 Dec 15)

Well, I think numerology is a subject of special interest as the top satanists behind things conspiratorial themselves take it soooo seriously--why?--well because the people they work with and exploit as their close cohorts, but on lower level, actually do very much take numerology so seriously themselves.

So the numerologic style becomes significant in way of these conspirators making signs to one another, pretending to the great significance of the numbers--as if this numerology makes up a sort of idiom or "lingo" among them, even though there's really nothing too definite ever to be discerned, they all indulging in the mysticism of it.

I remember reading a book by one S. K. Bain, "Most Dangerous Book...," which was all about the numerologic detail associated w. 9/11 strike. The book recited a lot of stuff and coincidences about the flight numbers of the planes, flight 77 and 93, etc.--none of it made any particular sense I thought, BUT I was struck simply by the heavy numerologic styling and emphasis to it all. For example, the South Tower was hit on the 77th floor, for what that's worth. The author surely thought the numbers were sooooo fascinating, going on for over 300 pages.

So I guess the pt. to be made is that satanism, which is really just extreme subjectivism at root, likes to cloak itself additionally with this numerologic sort of detail--it doesn't necessarily mean anything except the styling seems to have a significance as internal symbology for the conspiratorial people involved, the lower-level folks being impressed and quite taken by it all, evidently.

Intriguing comments! As it happens, I have thought before about the problem of “fascination” that you mention. In my 2012 monograph Achilles: Serial/Cereal Killer, I opened with these words (my citations have been removed):

“Apparently, people (and Americans in particular) have had their imaginations captured by serial killers. This idiom is revealing. What is captured and held captive is, seemingly, not free. Somewhere in the intersection of the writings of Rudolf Otto and Mircea Eliade there is a phrase marking out a relevant concept: Mysterium tremendum et fascinans (‘the mystery of the terrible and fascinating’). To a first approximation, the concept encapsulates one approach to religious experience – one approach to the human encounter with the ‘holy’ (that is, that which is set apart or is wholly other). The ‘other’ is encountered in a religious way when the encounter elicits both dread and fascination.

“At this juncture I will interject a bit of etymology, both for the sake of its inherent interest and for the purpose of introducing the reader into the strange word of ‘serial murder’ symbology. For immediately upon encountering the word ‘fascinate,’ we plunge headlong into the realm of ancient mythology. Note the history: ‘FASCINUS’ was the name of ‘[a]n early Latin divinity, and identical with Mutinus or Tutinus. He was worshipped as the protector from sorcery, witchcraft, and evil daemons; and represented in the form of a phallus, the genuine Latin for which is fascinum, this symbol being believed to be most efficient in averting all evil influences. He was especially invoked to protect women in childbed and their offspring … [G]enerals, who entered the city in triumph, had the symbol of Fascinus [the phallus] fastened under their chariot, that he might protect them from envy (medicus invidiae), for envy was believed to exercise an injurious influence on those who were envied. ... .’”
