When it comes to prayer in school, or opposition to homosexual rights, Democrats are quick to insist on a strict separation of church and state.  So we wonder what  their reaction will be to the following comments by the Chairwoman of the Kennebec County Democrats.

In a recently discovered podcast, Rita Moran, Chairwoman of the Kennebec County Democrats, claims she cast a spell on the Administrator of the Christian Civic League, Mike Hein, in response to her outing by the League as a practitioner of the occult.

The newly-discovered podcast aired on July 4th, 2007 for the "Lance and Graal Pagan Podcasts" and is entitled "Mixing Religion and Politics." Moran claims she was outed as an occultist by the Christian Civic League in response to the election defeat of a Pro-Life candidate, Penny Morrell. Morrell was then an employee of Maine Right To Life. The election was to fill the House seat of Abigail Holman, who died in a skiing accident in April 2007. 

Her opponent for the House seat for District 83 was Deane Jones, who received funds from Planned Parenthood for his campaign. The money paid for pro-abortion phone calls to voters on behalf of the Jones campaign. The issue of abortion played the most important role in Jones's victory over Morrell.

Less than two months after Moran made the podcast, Jones, who replaced the deceased Holman, also died.  District 83 is within Kennebec County, the same county covered by Moran and the Kennebec County Democrats.

In the interview, Moran says that a female state legislator told her that the outing was the League's retribution for defeating Morrell. Moran also states that the League is comprised of a small number of "radical right churches" and does not represent all Christians in Maine.

In the podcast, Moran presents herself as a practitioner of an "earth-based" religion, but states she does not wear a pentacle, for the sake of 'plausible deniability.' If asked, she tells people she is a practitioner of an 'earth-based' religion. During the interview, Moran also expresses a desire to form a national "Pagan Caucus" within the Democratic Party, so that the Democrat Party and paganism can come together in a "positive way."

When asked if Mike Hein suffered any backlash from her outing, she replied that she is certain that there was an occult backlash, based on her casting of an "earth spell" on Hein. She says that most Christians do not see her as an occultist, since the perception is 'out of their comfort zone.'

In June 2007, Mike Hein, a true Crusader for Christ, uncovered the fact that Moran attended a gnostic pagan shrine in the town of Sidney, four miles from the state capital. The shrine is dedicated to Hecate, the worst of the pagan deities, In reality, Hecate is the female companion of Satan.

The RECORD obtained exclusive photos of the shrine and the altar, known as "Hecate's Cauldron."  Hecate is known in occult circles as "Queen of the Witches"  and may be familiar to many as the deity worshiped by the three witches in Shakespeare's play "Macbeth".  Hecate's cauldron is shown in the photo at left,  a photo taken at the shrine attended by the Chairwoman of the Kennebec County Democrats. The entire shrine consists of an altar, a cauldron, and a wooden effigy, presumably of the Goddess Hecate.

Dogs were once sacrificed to Hecate, and all-black dogs were the preferred sacrifice. There is no evidence, nor even a suspicion, that dogs or any other living creatures are sacrificed at the shrine in Sidney.  Nor are we saying that Moran's branch of the occult believes in such sacrifices. We mention it only to show the depths of evil to which some practitioners of the occult (not Rita Moran) can resort.

More disturbing is the practice of infant sacrifice, which was common in the ancient world. Many of us remember the scene from I Claudius, in which a baby was placed beneath the floorboards of a Roman home as a sacrifice to Hecate, the Queen of Witches.

Of course, no infants are being sacrificed in Sidney, but the heart-felt dedication that Rita Moran and other Democrats show in defending the practice of abortion is strange, indeed.
