		Beyond the Satanic ritual abuse scares which were directly based on questioning children, a large number of adults came forward in the 1980s and 1990s and claimed to have recovered memories of severe, often Satanic ritual abuse in their childhood.
		Lauren Stratford's 1988 supposedly autobiographical novel Satan's Underground, which detailed her supposed childhood Satanic abuse, was the first book (aside from the 1965 novel Rosemary's Baby) to describe in detail allegations that cultists force young women to serve as "breeders" of babies raised for sacrificial purposes.

	Comments on Ted Peters's article, "Satanism: Bunk or Blasphemy?"
		My own preferred term for Satanism's violent criminal fringe, be they gangs or lone nuts, and regardless of the nature of their crimes, is "fl circle boys," after the 1997 movie of that name.
		Satanic ritual seeks to invoke supranatural power to perpetrate revenge on one's enemies, revenge being dubbed one of humanity's greatest pleasures.
		Whether the source of this symbol twisting is objectively that of a ritual cult, or perhaps subjectively, the coming to expression of a matrix of mythologemes lurking either in the collective unconscious of Jenny or in the collective unconscious of the therapists and their professional community or a combination, the blasphemous structure requires assessment.
