Witchcraft cited in ‘Blue Moon’ ritualistic slayings in Florida
By Mark Ellis, Special to ASSIST News Service
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (ANS - August 5, 2015)
-- Authorities uncovered a grisly murder scene with an elderly mother
and her two sons slain apparently in a Wiccan Blue Moon ritual.
“It is witchcraft, I’ll say that
right now,” Sheriff David Morgan declared, in a news conference
reported on by the Pensacola News Journal.
“Initial research has led us to
believe it was a ritualistic killing,” Morgan said, describing a
“complex” crime scene that took two days for investigators to review.
“The method of the murder —
blunt force trauma, slit throats, positioning of bodies — and our person
of interest has some ties to a faith or religion that is indicative of
that. The time of the death on Tuesday also coincides with what’s
referred to as a blue moon, which occurs every three years.”
A blue moon has nothing to do
with the color of the moon, but refers to a 13th moon during a 12-month
period. Normally, there is one lunar cycle per month.
Occultists believe that a blue
moon month doubles the power of spells and ritual work. Two consecutive
blue moons are believed to double the power again.
“Witches and occultists go
berserk at this time,” according to David Meyer, who escaped a Satanist
background by turning to Christ.
The victims —Voncile Smith, 77,
John William Smith, 49, and Richard Thomas Smith, 47 — were found in
their home Friday in Pensacola. They are said to have been killed with a
claw hammer and their throats slit.
