Wicker Man
In some ritual circles, the conjuring of the Adam Belial consciousness and dark spirits into a person desiring riches, wealth or knowledge of the hidden mysteries, requires sacrifice, one of which is related to the Wicker Man.
During the Gallic Wars, military campaigns waged by Julius Caesar, he documented that Celtic peoples in central Europe used large straw-wicker statues for sacrifices by burning it in effigy. An effigy is a representation of a specific person in the form of sculpture or some other three-dimensional medium. In current times, the wicker man has been symbolically referenced as a part of some neopagan ceremonies, without the human sacrifice, but burning the representation of a person. Although many people are not intentionally participating in the burning of a wicker man for satanic purposes, the Wicker Man has been used in satanic rituals for many ages, specifically for human sacrifice in order to conjure the dark spirits connected to the Adam Belial material principle.[1]
