D2MG@SDSUMUS (Kurt Evans) (01/14/90)
These are selected excerpts from pages 91-96 of Mike Warnke's
autobiography, *The Satan Seller* (Copyright 1972 by Bridge Publishing,
Inc.):
..."You're a real travelling salesman for Satan, Mike, and we want you
to go to Salem and get more hip with some really serious organization."
"What's at Salem besides a hanging tree?" I inquired, uneasy.
"A witch with a long family tree. An ancestor of hers by the same
name was hanged there June 10, 1692, but don't sweat it, Mike, they
don't do that anymore. Bridget Bishop has invited a bunch of high-level
guys and chicks who'd like to get with it, and I recommended you. Call
it a training session. All expenses paid, of course..."
Almost the next thing I knew, I was winging across the country in a
jet...
I was astounded at the number of cars parked around the house on
the first day of the meetings, and at the different states represented
on the license plates. Later, I learned there were about two hundred
attending...
...she (Bridget Bishop) was deadly serious about witchcraft, an auth-
ority on organization, with some ideas on the "step system" which she
immediately began to expound.
...I was credited with doubling the size of our group in San Bernadino
from five hundred to one thousand in the short time I had been Master
Counselor.
...
My eyes were finally opened to the enormity and effectiveness of
the Satan movement. I was now aware of the fact that I was part of a
deep and widespread organization, operating not only in the U.S., but
all over the world.
The word *Illuminati* was whispered around here, too, though it
was still the wispiest of references. ...could there possibly be...
A worldwide, super-secret control group with perhaps as few as a
dozen at the very top . . . ?
...
I had heard one or two of the Brotherhood jokingly refer poor old
Hitler, and the arch-demon who ran him...
...
...I did not ask her (Bridget) about that seventeenth-century Bridget
Bishop, but in one of our discussions about art, when I mentioned a
woodcut depicting a Salem Sabbat, she casually declared that some of
the witch-hunters of Salem were actually witches, too.
...had the former Bridget run afoul of her brother and sister witches
and had her neck stretched for it?
Yours truly,
Kurt
P.S. If this whets your appetite,
I strongly recommend reading this
book in its entirety.
