The Authors
Andreas Huettl was born in 1964 in Wiesbaden and today is an attorney in Leipzig who has spent years researching the phenomenon of alleged mass Satanic child murders.
Peter-Robert Koenig was born in 1959 in Zurich. He studied ethnology and psychology and has worked in several fields, mostly as a Braille translator and as the author of more than a dozen books on occult orders.
The Book
An interdisciplinary view of Satanism, its intimate relationship with the mass media, and its rather less theatrical fate before police files and courts of justice.
Accusation, file, archive
Andreas Huettl provides a historical and legal overview of decades of ritual-murder accusations. These accusations are typically raised without concrete proof, yet are commonly pursued against occult groups in general.
This overview draws on 30 years of findings from police authorities, public prosecutor’s offices and legal cases. It includes information from all state police agencies, the Federal Criminal Investigation Office and the Federal Information Service, as well as judicial rulings since the early 1970s involving Satan, alleged Satanic crimes and occult orders.
The roots of these accusations are traced historically through the ritual-murder legends of past centuries and through spectacular cases of supposedly diabolical crimes, including infamous allegations against Jews; each case is considered in relation to its legal evaluation. The recurring pattern of child-murder allegations shows how virtually the same content and nearly identical phraseology can return whenever another group becomes the designated monster.
Following this historical survey, occult-order expert P.R. Koenig, who has collected and published detailed material on these orders since 1985, discusses background facts, figures and information concerning those groups which the media and various cult experts have routinely placed in the pillory. On closer inspection, they do not emerge as sensational Satanic criminals, nor as the masterminds of a worldwide conspiracy with influence in the highest circles.
The book also explores the social meaning of the Weltanschauung Thelema and its protagonists, with court judgments, police findings and the rôle of the Ordo Templi Orientis and related orders kept firmly in view.
Many of Peter-R. Koenig’s books are carried by the Association for Religious and Worldview Inquiry (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Religions- und Weltanschauungsfragen = A.R.W.). Further information is available at Religio.
