Balaam's Ass Publishing

This web site attacks Wiccans and members of many other faith groups. Their editor is Steve Van Nattan.

An essay at their site at http://www.balaams-ass.com/journal/warnings/cabot.htm is titled "Ode to Laurie Cabot."  It implies that Laurie Cabot, a well-known Witch from Salem, MA, may not be a genuine witch "unless she has sacrificed animal minimum [sic] to Satan or Lucifer. That is a fact well known to the Craft, and they hate for this story to be exposed." (Ms. Cabot, and other Wiccans, do not recognize the existence of either Satan or Lucifer. Thus, they could hardly worship them as deities. They do not sacrifice animals. They might hold a ritual involving the carving of a piece of fruit, but nothing higher on the evolutionary scale. There is one item of truthfulness in the essay: Wiccans really do object to the accusation that Wiccans sacrifice animals or humans. But it is because the story is completely false, not because they are afraid of being exposed.)

The site also has an essay "Wicca and Satanism: Satan is their common lord and master," at: http://www.balaams-ass.com/journal/resource/wiccastn.htm   Van Nattan refers to "Wicca's practice of sacrificing animals and babies." No evidence is cited for these very serious accusations.

He "proves" that Wiccans are Satanists, using a number of Biblical quotations. for example:

He refers to Hitler as "one of history's most famous witches and human sacrifice gurus." He refers repeatedly to the concept that there are only two religions in the world: Satanism and conservative Christianity. Since Wicca is not of the latter, it must be a form of Satanism. He wrote: Wiccans "will spend eternity with Satan covered with maggots and burning in flames."
