Appendix 76: “O.K., So We Have to Say Something

About the ‘Witch Wagon’”

- by Michael A. Aquino IV°

The Cloven Hoof #IV-4, April VII/1972

If you’re blind, deaf, or a hermit there’s a slight chance that you haven’t

heard about the Witch Wagon. It seems as though it’s made one out of

every two papers across the country, and its most recent splash was in the

March 13 edition of Time magazine.

A San Diego outfit called Morris Cerullo World Evangelism, Inc. has

dispatched an anti-occult mobile unit to tour 45 cities in an effort to stem

the rising tide of diabolism. The van contains “examples of potions,

Voodoo-oils, and paraphernalia of Satanic worship”, all of which were

assembled by a “research team” consisting of one evangelist, three

reporters, and an “ex-high priest” of a southern California “Satanic” cult.

All these quotation marks ought to give you a pretty good idea of our

contempt for this enterprise. Far from being an accurate commentary on

Satanism or witchcraft, it is the shameless attempt of an otherwise-

unknown Bible-jock outfit to attract attention by capitalizing on the esoteric

glamor of Satanism. You are welcome to make our viewpoint known to your

local news-media should the Witch Wagon pass through your area.

Obviously, were the Church of Satan to take official action of a public

nature against this tour, we would only lend dignity and credibility to its

ridiculous displays. Hence members who encounter the Wagon are advised

not to reveal their factual affiliation with the Church - but rather to cross-

examine and ridicule the “high priest” and his displays from a strictly

objective basis. If you should see or hear specific references to the Church

itself, please send a detailed report to the Secretary of the Central Grotto in

San Francisco.

To give you a quick idea of the intelligence of the ex-“H.P.”, a fellow

named Mike Warnke, we shall quote him: “It’s soul enslavement. You’d

hardly believe it, but you’re capable of any deranged activity.” That all

depends, Mike, upon your point of view. We would be inclined to place the

shoe on the other foot!

By the way, we aren’t the only ones excited about the Witch Wagon.

Leo Louis Martello’s WICA Newsletter has lashed out against it with

considerable vehemence, calling for a “MORAL CRAFT CRUSADE” to

discredit the tour. Since the White witches frantically disavow any

connection with Satanism, we fail to see their motive in raising a rumpus in

this instance. Oh, well - nothing like a little comedy to brighten up the

spring.
