Sandy’s Testimony
Growing up in a family where witchcraft was the norm was an excit­
ing time of supernatural encounters with spirits of the dead which
were “protectors of our lives” (so I was told). My grandmother intro­

years old. I was young and really did not know why or how he was
gaining access to all these things, but I do remember one piece in
particular. It was a statue standing about three and half feet high. It
was pure gold with the bottom half of the figure a horse while the
top half was a man. The figure had snake like hair and held a na­
ked woman. I now know this was a statue that depicted a powerful
occult demon named Satyr. Sometimes Satyr appears like a half
goat and half man as opposed to the half horse half man. This spirit

ever gave me was “this gives me power.” I wondered what the
