Support this channel: thesymbolicworld.com/support/ patreon: www.patreon.com/pageauvideos subscribestar: www.subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau paypal: www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau In today's video I discuss the symbolic coherence in Lil Nas X's controversial music video titled Montero (Call Me By Your Name) and Marvel Studios' miniseries WandaVision. These timely productions make use of powerful and coherent symbolic imagery that can help us better understand what Satanism and witchcraft are and exactly how they subvert their narrative source: a broken Christianity. Satanism as self-worship is the embodiment, the celebration, of the end of Christianity (self-sacrifice in love for God). Satanism is subversive by nature such that many Satanists don't even believe in Satan - but they don't have to. Satanism has never been about devil worship, rather it's about embodying the revolutionary pattern itself, as we can see in Montero, where he seduces, kills and replaces Satan with himself. In WandaVision we are basically told the story of the Matrix, but this time from the perspective of the Matrix itself as the main character. In her own self-concern the witch wants to prevent “incarnation”, normal relationships between people, so that she can manipulate things to fulfil her own dreams. To do this she gives birth to a “virtual reality”, creating a fantasy world for the sake of being with Vision, the embodiment of artificial intelligence, the “perfect man”. The story is framed for viewers to sympathize not with the many people being tortured under Wanda’s totalitarian system, but with Wanda herself as the exceptional and victimized individual. These examples give us insight into what the opposite of Christianity is and how Christianity is brought to ruin: the tyranny of the individual in all its idiosyncratic passions.

0:00.0	The black and red blood-injected upside-down pentagram sporting Satan shoes by Little Nazex,
0:07.0	as well as his serpent alien Satan lap dancing Montero video, could only be released a week before Easter.
0:15.0	This is business as usual. It has almost become a part of Christian celebrations to expect a few of these spheres in the mainstream media before important Christian holidays.
0:27.1	There's something boring and tedious about the whole affair, a nicely organized propaganda supply chain with just-in-time delivery.
0:36.5	Nonetheless, beyond my first reaction of dismissal, I found that
0:40.1	maybe there's something people might want to understand in these satanic tropes and these satanic moves.
0:47.4	Nothing, none of it is arbitrary, but like any system of meaning, it rather has a strange coherence.
0:53.6	And this coherence can give us a few clues
0:55.8	as to why this imagery would be used to attract the type of attention someone like Little Nazex
1:01.5	desperately needs in order to stay relevant in a post-Christian, blasé, porn-infused, hungover culture.
1:09.8	And I guess I should tip my fedora to Little Nazex as he does
1:13.2	a bang-up job at weaving all this imagery succinctly together. But the Little Nas-X situation
1:20.1	probably wouldn't have been enough for me to put any energy into this. In fact, there's a second
1:26.7	angle entering this article, this video. So many people
1:30.5	have been telling me to watch Wanda Vision, which at first I didn't want to do, but I end up doing it.
1:35.7	And the ending of this series lays out imagery that is very similar to Little Nazex.
1:49.1	And it ends up being like a feminine witchcraft, which contrast to the more masculine satanic imagery in the Little Nas X video, while nonetheless playing in similar tones as
1:55.6	Montero's Hellish Carnival.
2:11.8	This is Jonathan Peugeot.
2:13.9	Welcome to the symbolic world.
2:29.3	So before I get on with this, yes, yes, I remember the so-called satanic panic in the 1980s. I remember these pastors telling us about backtracking and how rock songs had secret satanic messages when
2:36.8	played backwards. But even as a young teenager, I often wondered why they needed to look for secret
