    What They Don't Tell You About the Satanic Temple

    Askia sits down with Io Locke, an ordained Minister of Satan from The Satanic Temple Austin, to cut through the noise on what Satanism actually is. From a Mormon farm in Oregon to leading a congregation in Austin, TX, Io breaks down the Seven Tenets, Baphomet, religious trauma, bodily autonomy, and why Christian nationalism is way more dangerous than anything The Satanic Temple is doing. ______________________________ Learn more about the Satanic Temple: https://thesatanictemple.com https://thesatanictempleaustin.com Get Yumwoof, the healthiest food for dogs, for 20% with our code HORRORBLE https://yumwoof.com/HORRORble Go check out Warming Trends, the company that built the amazing fire centerpiece on our set! https://www.warming-trends.com Produced by Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________ Io Locke doesn't worship the devil, they don't even believe in one. What they do believe in: empathy, science, personal sovereignty, and making the world better for everyone. This episode digs into the real story behind The Satanic Temple, from its origins fighting abortion bans in Texas to running food drives and menstrual product collections under the name "Menstruating with Satan." Io walks through the difference between theistic and non-theistic Satanism, why the organization's name is intentionally provocative, and what the Baphomet statue is actually about. If you've ever been curious, or just wanted to argue at Thanksgiving, this one's required listening. ______________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Io Locke 03:31 - Discovering the Satanic Temple 06:20 - Defining atheism 10:08 - Types of Satanism 12:22 - The Seven Tenets 13:31 - Anton LaVey 16:33 - Using "Satan" as a protest 19:22 - Religious trauma 24:27 - Kicking people out of the Temple 28:04 - Community outreach 34:33 - Protesting religious groups 36:05 - The pentagram 38:01 - Being provocative on purpose 39:59 - Becoming a Minister of Satan 45:23 - Reactions to being a Satanist 46:48 - The danger of organized religion 49:29 - The Apocrypha 51:08 - Evil on earth 54:40 - Christian nationalism 56:47 - Rituals in the Satanic Temple 59:56 - Misconceptions about Satanism

    Demonology, Real Life Possessions, and the DEADLIEST Cults Ever

    Professor Joseph Laycock joins Askia to break down demonology, exorcism, and the academic study of spirit possession.

This episode goes deep on the etymology of the word "demon," the Nephilim, books that got cut from the Bible, and why "The Exorcist" triggered a wave of real exorcism requests that still hasn't stopped. ______________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Joseph Laycock 01:48 - Growing up with religion and horror 03:40 - Alien abductions 05:53 - Demons in modern society 10:21 - Religious studies vs theology 12:59 - Exorcisms gone horribly wrong 14:20 - What really is a demon? 18:36 - Animal sacrifice 23:27 - Nephilim and the Book of Enoch 31:08 - Possessions and inherited demons 35:28 - Santería 38:20 - Santa Muerte 42:58 - Spirit possessions around the world 50:16 - What does Hell look like in other religions? 56:01 - The impact of The Exorcist (1973) 1:06:43 - The Satanic Panic 1:14:44 - Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker) 1:15:12 - 764 criminal organization 1:19:46 - What exorcisms actually look like 1:32:15 - What is a cult? 1:38:18 - Jonestown cult 1:40:10 - Branch Davidians cult FBI standoff 1:42:26 - Order of the Solar Temple cult 1:42:42 - Aum Shinrikyo cult 1:42:58 - Heaven's Gate cult 1:45:10 - The occult

    Askia sits down with Austin ghost tour guide David to to talk haunted history, military trauma, America's first serial killer, and whether vampires are walking among us. From the Servant Girl Annihilator murders to hallucinating the devil during a 100-mile ultra run — this one goes deep. ______________________________ Book a haunted tour with David: https://ghostcitytours.com/austin Get Yumwoof, the healthiest food for dogs, for 20% with our code HORRORBLE https://yumwoof.com/HORRORble Go check out Warming Trends, the company that built the amazing fire centerpiece on our set! https://www.warming-trends.com Produced by Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________ David isn't your typical ghost tour guide. He's a Marine Corps veteran, Army chaplain, ultramarathoner, and a guy who genuinely felt the presence of LBJ in a hotel lobby. This episode covers the dark corners of human nature — from Austin's first serial killer case (the Servant Girl Annihilator) and early criminal profiling, to moral injury in the military, the insanity defense, and why the scariest thing on earth isn't a monster — it's a person. They get into the concept of ghosts as grief, what happens when trauma goes unbelieved, modern-day vampires (yes, really), and what David saw when he nearly died in a spinning helicopter over Baghdad. Plus — his 11-year-old son won't go in one room of their house. Make of that what you will. If you're into horror, history, the paranormal, military stories, or just want to hear someone talk honestly about war, death, and the afterlife — this episode delivers. ______________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing David from Ghost City Tours 03:41 - Superstitions and ghosts in the military 04:56 - The living history of Austin 06:54 - America's first serial killer (Servant Girl Annihilator) 09:24 - What makes a murderer? 14:32 - How violence affects the soul 19:59 - The horror of disbelief 24:40 - Paranormal experiences on tours 26:44 - David's ghost encounters 27:54 - David's Satan hallucination 35:17 - Why do we love ghost stories? 37:31 - The ghosts of Austin 40:06 - The haunted Driskill Hotel 41:58 - Dark ghosts and energy on tours 46:49 - The military training you to die 53:22 - How war traumatizes you 57:06 - Being a noncombatant in the army 59:40 - The horrors of war 1:01:39 - David's helicopter near-death experience 1:03:43 - Human cruelty 1:06:28 - Real life vampires 1:12:52 - What happens when we die?

    Real Exorcisms, The Hat Man, and Why "Aliens" are Actually Demonic

    Pastor Ramon Perez has performed exorcisms, spoken directly to demons, and witnessed things most people only see in horror movies — and he's here to talk about all of it. From a Gulf War vet who claims he brought back a demon from Iraq, to a man raised from the dead after experiencing hell firsthand, this episode goes places most podcasts won't. ______________________________ Get in contact with Ramon: https://austinexorcism.com Get Yumwoof, the healthiest food for dogs, for 20% with our code HORRORBLE https://yumwoof.com/HORRORble Go check out Warming Trends, the company that built the amazing fire centerpiece on our set! https://www.warming-trends.com Produced by Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________ Pastor Ramon Perez doesn't flinch. He's spent years doing deliverances — not just casting out demons, but tracking down the ROOT cause of demonic influence. He breaks down why most exorcisms fail (and actually make things worse), how Satan's voice sounds exactly like your own inner monologue, and why he once had to facilitate peace between the spirit of a black slave and a white slave owner — both living inside the same man. If that doesn't already have you leaning forward, he also gets into a woman who was literally a bride of Satan with the power to astral project into other people, demonic portals opened by occult movies, alien encounters in El Paso, interdimensional beings, and a conspiracy theory connecting dinosaur bones to the Nephilim. This is spiritual warfare, horror stories, and raw theology colliding in real time. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, Pastor Ramon's response is simple: "I'd rather be popular with God than with man." ______________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Pastor Ramon Perez 01:38 - The demon from Iraq 02:27 - The 14 month exorcism 05:31 - Going from skeptic to believer 06:57 - Raising someone from the dead 12:12 - Performing an exorcism by yourself 13:14 - The slave vs slave owner possession 20:35 - Satan speaking through people 22:08 - The astral projecting witch 24:01 - Ramon getting attacked by Satan 27:31 - Bad churches 34:15 - Exorcisms in movies vs real life 35:16 - The Hat Man 38:01 - Ghost encounters 43:44 - Personal encounters with aliens 48:59 - Are aliens demonic? 53:00 - The Giant of Kandahar 54:01 - How to detect demons 56:29 - Why is there evil in the world?
