A SEARCH FOR SATAN - Daniel Robert - November 1975

Daniel Robert

BOGOTA: Last August, Colombia's beautiful capital hosted the first international gathering of the World Congress of Witchcraft. About 3,000 magicians, sorcerers, and witches, 200 reporters, and close to 150,000 visitors from all over the world attended the meetings. More than a congress on the occult, the conference seemed to be a giant trade fair. There was the same atmosphere, the same type of structure, the same products for sale: washing machines, blenders, encyclopedias, carpets, groceries. There was only one (purported) difference: the devil's presence! A ridiculous little devil was displayed in every stand, either riding a broom, reading an encyclopedia, or eating "Brand X" ham (which, of course, was advertised as "deviled ham"). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
