Ep.21: Satanic Don't Panic - Old Ghosts in New Guises

Satanists Nextdoor's Podcast

In this episode of Satanists Nextdoor, hosts Tommy and Lilin unpack the resurgence of a recurring dark chapter in history akin to a modern-day witch hunt. Did witch hunts ever truly end? In this episode, they explore how the specter of the Satanic Panic is re-emerging, not just against Satanists but also targeting the LGBTQ community, educators, and even librarians.
With firsthand experience from the initial panic, our hosts draw parallels between the wrongful convictions of the past, like the McMartin's and the San Antonio Four, and today's protests against Pagan festivals. They discuss the pattern of fear and misinformation that once again casts those outside the mainstream as threats.
This isn't just history repeating itself; it's a wake-up call to recognize and challenge the narratives that seek to divide us. Tune in for an engaging conversation that's as relevant as ever, shedding light on the ongoing struggle for acceptance and the courage to stand against unfounded fears
