    WITCHCRAFT! THEY’RE DOING WITCHCRAFT!

    RETRO SATANA, TOTO OPERE ASPER!
    ORO TE PATER, ORO TE PATER, SANAS!
    O PATER, ORES PRO AETATE NOSTRA!
    ORA, OPERARE, OSTENTA TE PASTOR!

    (sorry I’ve just been reading up a bunch on ancient coptic / christian ritual magic; it’s fascinating, and the fact that most modern christians don’t realize that their religion is fundamentally rooted in syncretic magic traditions that coalesced into an apocalyptic death / martyr cult is WILD)

      That sounds really cool! Do you have any resources or books you’d like to recommend in case that’s how you’re exploring the subject?
