1. The Devil’s Advocate

Time Stamp: 11:45

  • Do you have to be focused all the time as a Satanist?
    • Being a Satanist means you live with intention. Celebrating life while improving your life.
    • We celebrate our carnal existence
      • Indulgence not compulsion
        • When it takes away from your life rather than adding to it, it is a compulsion
      • We love and hate with our full hearts
        • Focusing on what we find important and discarding the rest
        • We only have so much energy in life, direct it to your own ends
    • We take our time on this planet seriously, but not to our detriment
      • If we were serious and don’t enjoy our time, we would be wasting it
      • We find focus and distinguish our time between personal and professional pursuits.
    • Focus only takes effort in the planning
      • Once you have set your goals into motion, you are in the moment, and should be enjoying it
      • Hard work and effort is not inherently a bad thing.
        • It’s only bad if you don’t actually want to be doing it, then you should ask yourself if you SHOULD be doing it.
    • Always remember, life is as fun or miserable as you allow it to be. Depending on your focus and openness to external influences.

2. Infernal Informant

Time Stamp: 31:14

  • Day of the Dead has everything to do with the afterlife, love and those colorful skulls you’ve seen around
    • https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/01/us/day-of-the-dead-dia-de-los-muertos-meaning-trnd/index.html
    • Families are spreading bulks of marigold petals, lighting up candles for their loved ones and some are even wearing colorful skull makeup.
    • It’s Día de los Muertos.The Mexican holiday, also known as Day of the Dead, extends over the first two days of November and has nothing to do with Halloween. It’s an ode to the afterlife and a reminder that death is nothing to be afraid of.
    • Artisans make colorful sugar skulls
      • Skulls were a powerful symbol in the Aztec culture, and some were used as tribute to Mictecacihuatl, the goddess of death. To celebrate the holiday, artisans spend hours turning sugar, hot water and lime into a sugar paste similar to caramel that they mold into skull-shaped treats of all sizes.
      • These treats are then decorated with icing, multi-colored foil and sometimes feathers. Calaveritas are for the most part edible, but people mainly use them to decorate their altars.
    • People carefully build altars for the dead
      • The colorful multi-level memorials are built in homes, schools and public places as a tribute to deceased loved ones. The different levels represent the underworld, Earth and heaven.
      • A large photo of the deceased is usually placed at the very top of the altar with papel picado. Sugar skulls, candles, pan de muerto (dead man’s bread) and Mexican marigolds are featured throughout the altar.
      • The pungent scent and bright color of fresh marigold petals are meant to guide the spirits to their altars, and glasses of water are handy to quench the thirst of the dead after their long journey.
      • The ofrendas (offerings), as the altars are called, are carefully assembled using many traditional elements, but each of them is unique on its own. They can be personalized with the dead person’s favorite food, mementos from their lives and their favorite items. Some altars have books, jewelry, music and clothes on display.
    • Crowds descend on cemeteries
      • People flock to cemeteries through the holiday to visit the graves of dead relatives and friends. But they are not mourning or empty-handed.
      • After cleaning the graves and headstones, some decorate with flowers, marigold petals and light up candles. While some come to pray in silence, others serenade their lost loved ones with mariachis.
      • People make their way to the gravesites every year to keep the memory of the deceased alive in their hearts and in the minds of their family members. They share stories, drink and eat together as if it were a party.
    • Skeletons walk among the living
      • People parade the streets with beautiful skulls painted on their faces and wearing costumes to commemorate Día de los Muertos.
      • Women usually paint their faces, wear elegant dresses and hats adorned with feathers and flowers. They are actually evoking “La Catrina,” a rich skeleton lady in a fancy floral hat. The image, sketched by Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada in 1910, was political satire that mocked Mexico’s upper-class and their negative attitude toward indigenous people.
      • Crowds dance in cheerful parades held during the day in numerous cities, or parade together on their way to cemeteries the night of Halloween.
  • A Florida man was mauled by a leopard after paying $150 for a ‘full-contact experience’

    • A man in Florida was mauled after paying $150 for a “full-contact experience” with a black leopard.
    • Dwight Turner, 50, has undergone two surgeries since being attacked by the animal on Aug. 31, his wife, Natushka Turner, said in a sworn written statement to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).
    • Dwight Turner and the leopard’s owner, Michael Poggi, 54, arranged for him to “play with it, rub its belly and take pictures” on Poggi’s property in Davie, FWC said in a captive wildfire report.
    • After Poggi unlocked the leopard’s cage, Dwight Turner entered and sat on a bench inside when the leopard “growled and attacked Mr. Turner biting him on the head and ear,” said the FWC report.
    • “Mr. Turner sustained injuries to the right side of his head and right ear. Mrs. Turner stated that she had to place part of Mr. Turner’s scalp back in place because it was hanging from his head and his right ear was torn in half,” the FWC said.
    • Poggi was issued two misdemeanor citations for allowing full contact with an extremely dangerous animal and with maintaining captive wildlife in an unsafe condition causing extensive damage, according to FWC.
    • CNN has made several attempts to reach Poggi without success. It is unclear whether he has a lawyer.
