Episode summary
In this short episode, the guest — introduced as a former FBI agent — describes two experiences he says shaped his views on faith and extremism. First, he recounts a teenage period of dabbling in ‘witchcraft and Satanism’, including performing a mock “possession” skit while drinking; he says he then saw what he interpreted as a red, watery image of a demon beckoning him, panicked, and later walked to church. The account is presented as personal experience rather than corroborated evidence.
The larger portion of the conversation centres on his claim that, during his law-enforcement career, he spent time around a white supremacist group that adopted a distorted version of Norse pagan ritual. He alleges members stole a goat from a nearby property and brought it to a secluded ‘holy spot’ in the woods for a Halloween ‘blot’ ceremony. He says the ritual language framed the killing as the beginning of a ‘wild hunt’ — which he describes as, in the group’s interpretation, a call to ‘cleanse’ perceived enemies.
He also claims he notified a monitoring team through a ‘listening device’ that the group was about to kill the animal, waited for guidance, and received no response. He describes unsafe handling of a pistol during the killing and says the group later cut the goat’s throat, collected blood, and combined it with LSD for some participants.
