PARLIAMENTARY EXORCISMCasting Out Demons Atop a Hill in CanberraPublished November, 2009
WORDS AND PHOTOS BY BRIONY WRIGHT
Very, very, very strange things were afoot in Australia’s capital city earlier this month. Allow us to set the scene...
A few weeks earlier, we saw photos of a blood stained pillar on the top of a hill overlooking Parliament House and heard associated rumours of satanic rituals and animal sacrifices being performed by members of what is apparently a large Wiccan population in Canberra. It turns out that national Christian organisation, Catch the Fire Ministries, heard about it also and took this as further evidence in support of their belief that Satan is at work in and around our policy-determining hub. In order to combat this evil, they organised a mass “prayer offensive” at the site with the triple-barreled intention of 1. reversing any spells cast by the witches, 2. hopefully changing politicians’ minds about things they disagree with such as abortion and gay people and 3. sending out good vibes to ensure a bushfire-victim free summer. Really, what on earth could go wrong?

That seems like a lot of fuss over a little blood on a pillar. I’m surprised the animal rights folk weren’t out there. | |
