We've all heard of Six Degrees of Separation, the theory that all of us are connected to everyone else in the world through a chain of acquaintances with no more than five intermediaries.
The Demonic Twostep is similar but claims that we are no more than two steps from Satan. (Or Lucifer as he calls himself on his other account.) There are only two people at the most between us and perdition.
We were talking about this tonight and then the conversation moved on to the Kray twins. Somebody explained how close the twins were to the devil and I looked it up when I got home. She was right.
Here we are:
1) Ronald Kray had a sexual relationship with the Labour MP, Tom Driberg.
A sexual partner of Aleister Crowley, and having been influenced by Aleister Crowley's Liber AL vel Legis, Tom Driberg pledged himself to The Great Work in the presence of the Beast 666.
Ronnie was only one step away but Reggie was two steps unless he also met Driberg.

Dooes simply having met somebody once count as a link?
|
|
By:
I believe so
|
|
By:
Does it require some degree of physical contact? Like a handshake?
|
|
By:
I dunno. For the purposes of this thread we'll accept phonecalls and emails.
|
|
By:
If one had shook hands with a murderer, for example, would that be classed as two steps away from the Devil? Or must the penultimate link actually partake in some form of Satanic worship?
|
|
By:
The second bloke must have met the devil.
|
|
By:
Those of a religious leaning, of course, would argue the Devil is amongst us all on a daily basis.

Does getting horny in a hot place with a virgin count?

REPORTED

By:
Yeah, I was - to the vice squad.
|
|
By:
I have spent many a day in places one might charitably term iniquitous, but I cannot honestly claim to have met anybody who has dabbled in Devil worship or the ilk.

I shook hands with the Duke Of Edinburgh, roughly 1965/66.
He must have shaken Thatchers hand in the 80s at some point. Does that count ? |

By:
Wash your hands in holy water, Charlie. Save yourself!
|
|
By:
I washed my hands in holy water when we nicked the lead off the church roof.
|
|
By:
A lucky escape
|

By:
So apart from Big Charlie, you're all as pure as the driven snow? There's a surprise.

Do you remember, about twenty years ago, the Social Services claimed there was a Satanic cabal abusing children in Rochdale?
I cannot quite recall if those accused were guilty of anything at all, but I do remember that the Devil worshipping bit was a complete fabrication on the part of the authorities and they tried to hush it up afterwards. |
|
By:
I don't remember it but, well, Rochdale... a very cooperative town, you know.
|
|
By:
What did you expect, Bill? And how about you anyway?
|
|
By:
I, for one, would be quite surprised if anyone replied that they were themselves, or were acquainted with, a Devil worshipper.
|
|
By:
I believe that I've met Old Nick, or one of his henchmen at least, in person. If a human could be as evil as this creature was then I want to resign membership of humanity.
Other than that, I've led a charmed life. You? |
|
By:
Well, I've met some despicable people in my time as I mentioned, but I can't honestly say I've suspected any of them of having direct contact with the Devil.
|
|
By:
Having said that, I live quite near a small hamlet called South Molton. I have it on good authority a number of the townsfolk there indulge in some form of annual Pagan ritual involving cannibalising the recently deceased, along with the obligatory frenzied dancing in the woods of course.
It's called the Longpig festival. Does this count? |
|
By:
I've watched La Pourcailhade in France. Tame stuff.
|
|
By:
Indeed, but that's hardly the same thing at all, though, sir. The pigs in the Longpig festival aren't really pigs at all you see.
|
|
By:
I know, I'm only joking. Sorry.
Any evidence? |
|
By:
I'm afraid not. It's kind of a specialist interest affair and I've never been invited.
|
|
By:
Anyway, I'm off to bed. Goodnight to you.
