Maxed out on dl and squats this week. Pulled 500 x 1 on deadlift. Finished up the week yesterday so next week is a deload which doesnt feel 100% necessary, which is really good for me.
Books
Has anyone read any books on the satanic panic? I was specifically looking at This one and This one . From what ive read the latter is more academic, but both seem pretty entertaining. Not quite sure which one I wanna go with.
See this list of False Memory Syndrome Foundation members. As just one example, consider Jeffrey Victor, who wrote Satanic Panic: The Creation of a Contemporary Legend, one of the top books that comes up on Amazon on the subject.
Satanic Panic by Jeffrey S. Victor. Kind of old now (1993) but still informative.
If it was a non-fiction book, then it could have been Satanic Panic: The Creation of a Contemporary Legend by Jeffrey S. Victor but it sounds a bit deep for a children's library.
Glad somebody said it. This has been one of the most enduring of Urban Legends and has been pretty much 100% horse-shit from day one. If you haven't already, check out this great reference on the subject. Well researched and very thorough.
> children were killed as part of a satanic ritual

Yeah, that's not a real thing. I'd say they're innocent just based on that accusation alone. Read Satanic Panic: The Creation of a Contemporary Legend by Jeffrey S. Victor. The author shows how the widespread panic about "satanic cults" in the 80s & 90s was a phenomenon most refer to as "mass hysteria" based on what basically amounts to urban legends.
Edit: I left out a few words.
