First of all I want to thank you for supporting my art and using Oracle Poggz. This edition is my favorite yet and I hope for it to be an expansive journey of understanding and kindness to oneself.
The Satanic Panic I am referring to in this edition is a moral panic that heightened in the 1980s but is still present today. Thousands of false allegations of “ritual abuse” were recorded globally, sending the public into a frenzy of fear, book burning, accusations and distrust amongst communities. In retrospect we are able to see how powerful fear is and how quickly folks can join the herd for fear of being shamed and ostracized.
At the heart of this fear is the interpretation of what is good and what is evil: believing objects, music, role-playing games, pleasures etc. can be inherently evil and any exposure to them will make the exposed evil or possessed (it has been noted that this particular panic was well-timed with the release of movies like The Exorcist and Rosemary’s Baby).
I believe that panics like this are caused mostly by a lack of discernment, accountability and authenticity. A lot of people are taught to be ashamed of themselves and are trying to hide something genuine out of fear of persecution. Often they will lose that important, authentic self-connection that creates confidence and accountability. Without the willingness to be accountable for one’s actions and the confidence to know the truth, most people learn to blame external things and people for any misfortune or doubt. They become abhorrent to change and shun what/who is different. Shame and conformity overrule their ability to discern what is true.
This Satanic Panic edition of Oracle Poggz is here to remind you that you can trust yourself. That enjoying a song or having interest in ancient teachings will not change you without your permission. That allowing yourself consensual and safe pleasure is nothing to be ashamed of. That your discernment is good, you know what’s ok for you, and as long as we respect the autonomy of others, we can celebrate and luxuriate in the things we are interested in.
