Access to Occultism and Satanic cults is facilitated by modern media and networking technologies. This facilitates both religious pluralism and tolerance and free-speech controversies/intrigue. We don't want to fall into a primitive trend of censorship and McCarthyism, but how do we determine if modern social networks cater to underground Satanic cults?
In fact, the release of various Occultism films including Rosemary's Baby, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, The Witch, The Ninth Gate, and Annabelle: Creation has people talking about liberal expressions of the Occult even in mainstream media.
Perhaps liberal dissemination of bold/expressive images regarding the cryptic 'face' of Occult/Satanic societies and cults lends credence to the notion that mainstream media is 'constructing' various 'underworld' groups.
Are you fan of this new age of media labyrinths? Maybe you know someone who you don't realize is...

American proliferation of unusual comic book characters such as Magneto, Wolverine, Dark Phoenix, Poison Ivy, The Shadow, Mysterio, Ra's al Ghul, Red Skull, Harley Quinn, and Black Panther creates liberal discussions of alternative metaphysics/spirituality. Even Lucifer (Satan) has been featured as a comic book character --- Lucifer Morningstar (DC Comics)!
Would you really be shocked if underground clubs existed in NY and LA, catering to various yuppies and celebrities interested in the Occult and Satanism and perhaps even hosted/sponsored by established/respected leaders and diplomats/bishops of the Satanic church/community. These 'cults' may find it rather easy to become 'integrated' into cosmopolitan culture. Roman Polanski has certainly 'facilitated' this 'creative experimentation.'
A number of fantasy-films and adventure-tales are suddenly popular, perhaps as a 'backlash' to all this modern technology use. Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Dungeons & Dragons, Peter Pan, etc. invite audiences to consider the psychological appeal of unusual worlds and escapism rhetoric. Perhaps this trend was 'intimated' in John Gardner's monster-dialogue novel Grendel.
The history of mainstream religions such as Catholicism (the faith I practice) and Judaism and the popularity of places such as Jerusalem and Vatican City offers pedestrians many 'collectibles' and tokens of historianship and even folklore. The popularity of the Dan Brown adapted films also suggests there's a 'macro-appeal' for orthodox authority dialogue.
Meanwhile, our fascination with masquerade, eccentric philosophies, and social rituals/festivity suggests there's an 'equal interest' in humanity for the expression of non-orthodox religions and hence for 'Occultism marketing.' Perhaps Roman Polanski sensed this modern trend in cinema.
Furthermore, the fact that the age of media has been complemented by the liberal proliferation of images of Sports Illustrated swimsuit models, Playboy nudism-models, and pornography films/media suggests there's a strong Western media interest in exploring the liberal exploration of graphic/uncensored sensuality and 'radical' lifestyle advertisements. This is in stark contrast to the very austere/fundamentalist treatment of women in Islamic nations where women are completely veiled, which reminds us of the entire Salman Rushdie controversy.
A number of comic books, pulp-fiction, and mainstream films explore 'adventurous' treatments of orthodox/mainstream religions. These films include Agnes of God, The Cell, Constantine, and Se7en. Naturally, consumers/pedestrians will be drawn to all kinds of metaphysics-experimentation dialogue, right?
Even TV shows now, including Lucifer and Charmed, explore mainstream interests in alternative forms of religious inquiry. Who might be 'participating' is the real question. Satanic cults may be more well-integrated into cosmopolitan society than we think!
Imagine then that a radical Internet-blogger and comic book fan-fic writer named Ajay Satan(!) is writing stories and presentations about censorship, pornography, vigilantism, and Satanism tolerance in Catholic America and is even dressing up like a 'vigilante.' Would our hypothetical 'modernism media diplomat' Ajay write about the Occultism-oriented Marvel Comics anti-heroine Dark Phoenix --- perhaps a treatise on feminism-censorship? Who would be a fan/follower of Ajay Satan? This is the sort of pedestrian media intrigue comprising all sorts of Occultism/Satanism intrigue in this new millennium, which reminds many of the 1960s ironically. That's not surprising, given that all these comic book films feel like a resurgence in 'social customs festivity' (i.e., Woodstock).
Whether or not you're a fan of Roman Polanski films or alternative-media, you have to admit that the liberal access to all these unusual ideas/images lends itself to the convincing conspiracy-theory that Satanic cults are finding 'fertile ground' in modern social networks. You never know --- you might run into someone at the supermarket, gas station, post-office, or even Senate floor who is a secret member of an underground Satanic cult in NY or LA!
What would our consumerism-oriented U.S. President Donald Trump, a capitalism-baron and former-owner of the gaudy Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City (New Jersey), say about all this voyeurism? For that matter, what would First Lady Melania Trump say about 'media-mythology'?
