It is believed, that witchcraft and luciferism, the inspiration of many sects, are currently underdeveloped. However, researchers of this phenomenon have recently noted a rapid development of black magic. Satanic groups are popping up everywhere again, in the United States and Europe. Danger, which they are carrying, it is related to supernatural abilities, which they attribute to themselves – as in the well-known story of Dr. Faust. Given the unhealthy nature of their rituals and the systematic use of forbidden items, the isolation of these groups from the normal world is greater than in other sects. You can join a cult after playing satanic roles.

Even if the law and taboos forbid criminal acts, it is the uncontrolled violence of the guru that sometimes drives the sect to murderous madness.

Then the drinks are prepared, powders and ointments, to be imposed on the new initiates. Sometimes sorcerers prepare a terrible mixture in a cauldron, consisting of toads, snakes, guts of corpses, brains of newborn babies, owl droppings, goat bile, lizard eyes. Then there are obscene dances, monstrous copulating, incest, until dawn comes with the crowing of the roosters.
Fortunately, in our day, members of such groups prefer to eat a mixture of wine and flour at their "sorcerer's dinners", which replaces concentrated blood…
