Part 7/9:
Witnessing or participating in Masonic rituals appears to entail significant psychological and spiritual consequences. Schnoblin describes elaborate initiation ceremonies, complete with blindfolds and oaths to keep secrets "upon penalty of death." These rites include an oath claiming loyalty to an overarching deity, masking a deeper alignment with Satanic beliefs.
According to Schnoblin, the various Masonic degrees, including the Scottish and York rites, intertwine with occult practices that can lead to significant power but demand a high moral cost. Each level of initiation requires more than mere participation—it calls for a commitment that encompasses not just physical acts, but spiritual allegiances that challenge traditional ethical boundaries.
