Occult Symbolism: TBS Family Of Demons

Somebody told me this existed and at first I did not believe them.  That is until I saw the trailer of course.  This blatant satanism is getting kind of ridiculous.

Occult Symbolism: Nick Shows

It seems like the occult is trying to influence teenage viewers through popular sitcoms on Nick.  Notice how subtly masonic imagery is placed in these shows.

Inner Demons: Possession In The Industry

We are all familiar with the phrase, "battling with my demons" whether it be from a recovering drug addict seeking help to a catholic priest conducting an exorcism.  In either context, we have all heard this saying at one time or another.  But how true is this phrase?  Is it just some metaphorical saying, giving an excuse for the evil deeds of human beings? Or is there really a spiritual wickedness at work in our everyday lives continually trying to drag us to hell?  Well for those that think demons are only  figurative, may not be fully aware of the unseen battle that takes place around them.  As quoted from the movie Exorcism of Emily Rose, "demons are real whether you believe in them or not."

In the entertainment industry we see constantly hear stories of musicians, actors, etc. dealing with the paranormal phenomena known as demons.  You always raise your eyebrow to the slightly obscured spiritual statements certain celebrities may make concerning their personal life and art form.  But if we simply look at these artists and actors from the realm of the satanic occult that they are involved in, everything becomes much more clear.  In this post, I will carefully analyze the occult behavior in the industry and its correlation with demon possession.

Inspiration From Demons
There has always been this spiritual muse that entertainers speak of as a source of influence in their creation process.  Some may thank a "higher power" or the personal "God" they believe in.  Others, however, specifically mention a sort of possession that takes over them completely.  Here are a few instances of this:

Jay-Z - "I get possessed by the spirits..."

Janelle Monae - "It's like a spiritual outer-body experience, I feel very possessed." (1:07 mark)

There are many actors that have made these same statements of spiritual possession.  Oddly enough, these same actors have all played in a film about the occult or the spiritual realm at least once in their career:

Keanu Reeves - "I attempt to connect with my muse and go on demon rides..."

Johnny Depp - "Sometimes I feel like I'm possessed with a multitude of demons..."


Denzel Washington - "I get on my knees and call on spirits to possess my body and empower me to play a given role."


Oprah Winfrey - "I tried to empty myself and let the spirit of Sethe inhabit me..."

Another example of this demonic muse is a familiar one that most musicians have mentioned time and time again in their songs, Rain Man.  The "Rain Man" seems to be a name, created by artists, for this spiritual unearthly inspiration/possession that overcomes them allowing them to write and perform at greater levels.  Jay-Z has spoken of this "Rain Man" entity a lot in his work over the years.  Jay-Z has stated that ever since he found "Rain Man" he no longer has to write anything down and all of his writing process is done in his head.



Recently, Rick Ross even talked about personally seeing Jay-Z go through his "Rain Man" process for his new collaboration with him for Ross' new album:

(1:27 mark)
Eminem even made a song called "Rain Man", where he says that his soul is possessed by a demon turning his name into Rain Man.
The relationship between these "spirits" and the entertainers mirror that of the creative process between a person and a person writing for them behind the scenes, otherwise known as a "ghost writer".  What most people may not know is the phrase "ghost writer" is coined from the play on words with a "ghost rider".  A ghost rider is a person that rides a vehicle without actually sitting on it.


This concept of artists having a hidden force writing for them behind the scenes is not uncommon.  More  practically this idea is called ghostwriting.  Ghostwriting generally involves an uncredited writer creating ideas for another person, not some spiritual entity.  There is, however, a lot of occult folklore surrounding the mystery of ghostwriting.  Many have often considered the Devil to be one of the most used ghostwriters.  Many television shows have often poked fun at this concept in the past.  Popular sci-fi thrillers The Twilight Zone and Tales From The Darkside have both had episodes based on this concept, both episodes ironically called the "Printers Devil".



What many may not know is that the word "ghostwriter" itself is derived from the phrase "ghost rider".  A ghost rider is someone that rides a vehicle without actually being physically present in the driving seat.  This name is more commonly referred to Marvel comicbook character The Ghostrider.  The concept of this character is a stunt bike rider that sells his soul to the Devil so that his father could live, turning him into a night riding demon avenger (as if there is such a thing).

Oddly enough, same guy who played in that movie also played in these occult movies:






Suicide & Possession
A strange occurrence in the entertainment industry is the many accounts we hear of suicide attempts.  In most cases of demon possession there are almost always reports of self infliction of some kind.  So if these entertainers were battling with demons, trying to kill themselves because of it does not seem too far of a stretch.   For those that maybe skeptical of this correlation, here are a few examples:

Eminem
Now my co-writer Th3rd has mentioned Eminem's occult resume several times in our earlier posts, but I do want to expound upon his drug addiction in relation to his "inner demons".  His latest album Relapse begins with a skit about Eminem talking to his doctor about his rehabilitation from presciption pill addiction.  In the skit, his doctor turns into the Devil offering him the same drugs he was addicted to and that had almost killed him.


Eminem, later in the album, talks more personally about his almost drug overdose in the song Deja Vu, where he raps,

"See me and you almost had the same outcome Heath/ cuz that Christmas you know the pneumonia thing?/ it was bologna/ was it the Methadone ya think?"

Not only did he admit to the pneumonia reports a few years ago actually being a drug overdose, but he even mentions that he almost died the same time Heath Ledger did.  It seemed as if Eminem felt like the only way out of the occult was suicide.  When the suicide attempt failed, he then relapsed back into his demonic state of mind, often referred to as his alter ego Slim Shady.  This theory could also account for the untimely death of Ledger as well.

Heath Ledger
Many thought of his role as the Joker to be exceptional, others thought it to be role of shear of possession.  Whatever the case, it is very clear that Ledger was spiritually troubled due to his role as the Joker.  A close source stated this about Ledger during his role for Dark Knight:

"Heath refused to talk to anyone out of character.  If you tried to contact with him normally instead of the Joker, he would just ignore you.  He would often come to the set on his days off, freaking everyone out..."

Many sources reveal that Heath had locked himself in his apartment for months to prepare for the role.  During that secluded time, Ledger had claimed to have repeatedly heard "dark voices" talking to him.


As I stated before, these actors who have spoken about their possession, have all played in some type of occult propaganda movie.  Heath is no exception:

An oddity about this film is that Heath reportedly overdosed mid-way through the production of the movie.  In the movie, Heath actually dies in a very ritualistic fashion with a masonic pyramid painted over his forehead.  It seems as if his possession may have been too overwhelming for him, causing him to commit suicide as a way of escaping it.  A source stated that during the set of Dr. Parnassus, Heath still seemed warped from his last role in Dark Knight and that he, "no longer knew who he was."




Remember him?
Houston was a very popular R & B artist in 2004, mentored by fellow artist Nate Dogg.  Houston, shortly became a one-hit wonder with his most notable song "I Like That".  However, his short lived success was not because of lack of talent or marketing ability but a more troubling situation.

In 2005, Houston was performing at a London show.  At the hotel, Houston reportedly had a mental breakdown and tried to commit suicide by jumping out of a window.  When his entourage stopped him, he then took a fork and gouged his eye out.  When asked why he would do such a thing, he repeatedly yelled, "there are demons in my eyes, I have to get them out."  He was then seen running the streets half-naked until he was caught by London police.  Houston now resides in a psychiatric facility.

Whether you believe in demons and possession or not, one thing you need to understand is that these entertainers believe that it is real and they are suffering from it deeply.  Be aware that this is more than just some entertainment publicity or trend.  These entertainers are putting the same demonic influence into their music and movies and it affects everyone, from the artist itself to the person listening to it.

Johnny Depp Does Not Watch His Own Movies?

During an interview with David Letterman, Johnny Depp reveals that he does not watch any of his movies that he stars in.  Depp talks about himself as if its not him on screen.  Maybe there is another presence that takes over him once the camera's roll.  Either way, this seems quite sketch.

"I don't like watching myself.  I prefer the experience of making the film is great, the process is all fine....but then HE's up there."

Rap Show Hosted At Masonic Temple

One of the internet's largest hip-hop music sites, DatPiff, is hosting their annual live performance this year at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple.  The show will feature some of rap's most prominent up and coming artists such as Red Cafe, Willie Da Kid, J.R. Writer, Grafh, and LOX veteran Styles P.  The temple has been known for hosting music performances in the past.  Yet one would think with all the satanism/freemason rumors that have been spreading lately within the music industry, those not involved would think twice about performing at a place such as this.  Unless of course they were involved....

Guru dedication T-shirt by Stickupkids‏



A talented group of London designers have put their heads together and come up with some dope dedication T-Shirts dedicated to the late, great Guru and one dedicated to that inhuman crab named Solar (who thankfully has seemed to gone into hiding) designer Morgan had this to say on the T-shirt's.

"The range comprises of three T-shirts with two dedicated to Gurus lyrics and one created solely for that punk Solar. We have gone through our whole collection of Guru tunes which killed it because when you think, ok, we have enough a next one comes through and smashes it!:) We carefully chose lyrics to create the ultimate battle T which consists of Gurus hardest lines spit (in our eyes, I'm sure this will bring on a new debate!). We have also created the Inspiration T, which has his most insightful lyrics, which we feel elevated the way people thought about their actions. We also done a straight up FUCK Solar T, which needs no explanation".

R.I.P. Markey Fresh



So as the year goes on we lose yet another solider in Hip Hop, this time it was sadly New York born and bred Markey Fresh, a former member of the original line up of the Flavor Unit, first broke onto the scene, way back in 1988 on the dope "The King Is Here" with DJ Mark The 45 King and then he released "The Mack Of Rap" in 1989.

In 1993 there was the very limited release to DJ's and press of the "Once Again It's On" EP (with the awesome "Aint No Thang"
on it) and it was on Facebook that I saw Chill Rob G's status update saying R.I.P. To The Mack Of Rap Markey Fresh and I saw on another website that DJ Mark The 45 King said that he had passed away from a stroke, sadly there is very little info or pics out there about him, there is however a great interview with him at unkut,com though (thanks for the 12" cover pic Robbie)
