Country Satanists

bogwalrus

This might gross some of you out but I was walking my dogs in a Coillte forest today and discovered four dead sheep on the side of the path. The forest is very remote and I have never met anyone else on the walk.

I first thought maybe some farmer dumped them but there was a really bad smell of fish that might suggest something else was going on (if you know what i mean). Also on leaving the park there was two big sticks placed on the ground at the entrance representing a cross. They were intentionally placed that way because no other sticks were in the vicinity. Maybe a marker for a meet up or something?

Has anyone else seen anything like this before? As in possible cult activity in their area? I remember a farmer in kerry was arrested years ago for riding a sheep. I wonder how common that is though.

Imagine the shame of that :pac: :pac:

I watched this documentary a few years ago that might explain why I probably don't think it strange that a load of people in my area could have a cult where they ride sheep. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1982102/

It really is a messed up documentary!

I don't think the sheep would have been ashamed. Those fluff bottomed temptresses!

I think the idea that there are satanists or cult people in Ireland doing this sort of thing is highly unlikely. My take on it, is that they are some internet community who get their jollies from pretending to be dangerous or Alternative.

there was a really bad smell of fish

Is that so, Mr. bogwalrus?

Ah come on, this is rural Ireland you are talking about, not some colombian jungle or British university

Coillte forests really aren't what they used to be. Deforestation, it's terrible Joe!

Fcuking recession, it's even taken the twigs from the trees.
Even the leaves fell apart, couldn't brave the pain.
Poor bassstards Joeee!

The smell of a rotting sheep is vile. Accidentally stood on one once jumping down off a crag. It kinda exploded.

You're right, No matter how drunk I got I'd never shag anyone from Kerry.

Rotting flesh and rotting fish smell alike, or at least they both make the hair at the back of the neck stand up and you can almost taste the vileness.

Assert dominance by riding and slaughtering five sheep in the same spot and erecting an even larger cross. Let them know who the big dog is in town. 1-0 Satanists, your move.

When you say......., "there was a bad smell of fish that might suggest something else was going on ( if you know what I mean)"............. What DO you mean? I'm sorry, its late, way past my bedtime but I don't know what you mean..

fineso.mom

Wait. ..hang on....I think I just got it. Yeah. Eeugghh!!
Or should that be 'ewe'gghh!

The fishy smell was from the wild mushrooms the OP was eating in the forestðŸ˜

Sorry, that was me, by the time I was finished it was late and I didn't really feel like cleaning up.

Thought this was another Healy Rae thread.

Get back to studying for your JC, OP.

I thought this was going to be yet another 'Country Satanist Vs City Satanist' thread...

Whatever about what the OP saw or smelt, one would be foolish to assume that satanists / occult practises do not take place on a daily basis both in the country and city.

My uncle worked in the security industry during the boom and was driving around a newly built housing estate on the verge of Meath/ Dublin border when he saw a man come up out of a ditch by a stream, bollock naked and covered in blood. Fearing the worst- a murder or something- he rang the Gardai who caught the naked blood covered man and found a dead sheep ritually dismembered freshly killed where he had just appeared from. The Garda told my Uncle that this type of thing "Is more common than you think".

Only the farm takes up most of the day and in the evening I just like a cup of tea. I wouldn't be able to devote myself full time to the old Satanism

Speedwell

Gee, I know and have known a lot of Satanists (I'm not one; I don't believe in all that mess) and I can't think of anything in the literature or practice that involves doing crap like that. Most of the Satanists I know believe in "an thou harm none, do what thou wilt", and that is definitely considered harm.

I'm afraid you're going to have to look among the Twilight werewolf fans and batsh!t crazy people (some overlap there) for the perpetrator.

Sheep with dead smelly lambs and/or metritis maybe would smell very bad. Did you report it? They should have been brought to a knackery not dumped in a wood.

Rural satanists are getting special grants under the new programme for governement.

Once again thank you Healy Rae's

But that's all new-age satanism though isn't it, not the good old rituals and parties kind beloved by 'men of quality'

I don't know. I wouldn't necessarily have considered Crowleyite, "do as thou wilt an it harm none" Satanism, even as practiced today, to be "new age" Satanism. Heavy-metal, chicken-head-biting, crack-smoking, theatrically made-up extreme Satanism, I might consider that more in the line of sheep killers. But I'm going to put my money down on "werewolf fanatics".

I swear it by the old gods and the new.

Joking aside though I have sometimes come across odd little collections of stones and crosses in the woods locally.

That probably evidence of new age, nature, green man, making up your own spirituality as you go along.

Hi OP, pardon me asking but - if THAT is what you REALLY suspect wouldn't you be talking with the police rather than folks on Boards? :pac:

If you read the piper at the gates of dawn, for the wind in the willows it describes a mystical experience in nature.

Well unless the cross was upside down I don't know why you'd immediately think about devil worshippers.

Agreed. As another poster has said, it's more likely to be nature worshippers or an alternative religion of some sort.

Actually the first thing that would occur to me is that it's the burial place for a miscarried foetus or a stillbirth from years ago, like a cillín. Possibly even a pet's grave.

I also don't understand the fish smell reference.... Please explain

When I was 13 me and my friends descrated a Mary statue out in the countryside. We were obsessed with Satanic death metal at the time. We destroyed it using chains, a hammer and throwing rocks at it, and also spray-painting chilidsh blasphemy all over it. I knocked the head off with one clean whack of the hammer... My friend still has the head in his mother's garage!

And deeply upsetting and frightening for many of your neighbours, especially the older people.

Speedwell

I'm an atheist and I have better manners and compassion than to destroy other people's property that means something important to them and isn't doing any immediate harm to anyone. Shame on you.

Esel

They were 13. It was the only head they could get.

Most Satanists I've encountered are more like the Flying Spaghetti Monster worshipper's older sibling. They like taking the piss out of the fundies by demanding Baphomet statues be placed next crucifixes in public buildings. There's a recent story where some Satanists held a "Pink Mass" for one of the Westboro Baptist Church people who died so she'd turn gay in the afterlife.

Here's the Louvin Brothers to drop the science on this satanic sh1t...

It was 13 years ago... I had just turned 13 I'd hardly desecrate a Mary statue these days, c'mon!

I trampled on one specific flower in some woman's garden when I was that age, all the while "Hailing Satan." It was a bloody stupid thing to do.
