This interviewer was so wonderful. She was curious and did not judge or did not use any bias when speaking. I love it when an interviewer keeps their own opinions and ideas to themselves and allow others to represent their own ideas. I mean that's the whole reason for an interviewer.
I will say, that Damien's experience does give perspective. However, as in life, each person's journey is their own. We all have our own inner struggles. Damien journey is incredible and as he says he doesn't look at his experience as bad anymore.. it allowed him to learn all this stuff. I think, however, comparing our own experiences as "you think YOU had it bad.. look at that person over there". That is not helpful. We have to love ourselves and have compassion for ourselves.

Damian changed his name from Michael to Damian at 13. His mental health records say he bragged about drinking blood for 10 years old on. He also stomped dogs to death. Read his mental health records yourself.
Magick doesnt have to involve satanism if you guys put as much effort into researching different practices and ideologies as you do writing ignorant comments about things you know nothing about you would know this
I vaguely remember hearing about the West Memphis 3. However, I was out living my life. I had my own spiritual practice for many years, I knew folks who practiced Thelema but I never gravitated towards it, although my spiritual practice was connected in some ways with High Magickal practices. However, the last 13 years I was wandering in the wilderness and by change (via another practitioner FOOLISH FISH ) I rediscovered Damien Echols work. I wish I had rediscovered him earlier actually, when I had more money to put into actively engaging with him. I appreciate that his work has made this stuff so accessible. I feel like a baby learning to walk again. I guess everything has it's own time for being where you need to be at the time. Damien has demonstrated that he is a very kind, compassionate and awake individual. He is doing good in the world.. at a time when there is so much corruption and pain and suffering. Peace.
. A *MUST READ* book on the Echols’ case is called -- *"ABOMINATION: **_Devil Worship and Deception_* *_in the West Memphis Murders"_* -- which was -- written *BY* -- famed attorney *WILLIAM RAMSEY* . .
The most kindest, sweetest, non judgemental people I have ever met have been spiritual practitioners and others that use magic. Blessings to Damien and everyone that does magic for the benefit of themselves, and others in a healthy way.
Let's be glad that Damien's will had led him to share the tradition with those who have ears to hear or eyes to see. May the knowing open us up to find our own will and do it to our best ability~
There are many poets, artists and mystics who, when you read their work or listen to them speak, in not so many words, express the profundity and beauty of something as simple as experiencing deep mystical moments from looking at a rose or a smple blade of grass. Whatever practice it is which brings us to the awareness of the inseparableness of everything is exactly the call of our heart which awakens us from our projection-dreams of a "me" versus "them". It takes quite a calling and being in integrity with one's Self to have the courage to honor his heart and share that it was through his dedicated practice of magick which allowed him to experience true identity. For someone who experienced being wrongly accused and being prison for two decades AND then come out publicly to speak a practice which was part of what was used as evidence for saying he was guilty, THAT says more than anything that can be said in words. Thank you for sharing this interview.

Awesome interview. Thank you interviewer for being an awesome professional. I'm drawn to interviewing spiritual practitioners on a public forum aka some sort of social media. I loved your natural curiosity. Thank you for sharing 💚💚💚
@@gamerboy-uw5eg It probably wasn't great for his public image, and for all I know he could be guilty. But unfortunately witches like myself and magicians like him have a history of being falsely accused of murder. So let's say (for the sake of argument) that he's innocent. He knows that mystics have a history of being persecuted and he's just used to it. Not saying he's innocent. He very well could have killed those kids. I pray that releasing him back into the world was the right decision.
Lets not forget that Jesus was persecuted. Do not judge what you do not know. Don't judge if your house isn't right. Focus on you. If this is not for you then move on. We are on this earth to inspire each other not put each other down.
Can’t believe people think Damien is guilty still. Anyone who has gone through the case can see how badly it was handled and how he was so obviously not guilty. Damien always says his favourite book is the bible, speaks nothing but love and kindness. Shocking how so many so called “christians” call for his death when he’s clearly not a bad person and shows nothing but kindness and respect and has clearly dedicated a lot of time to studying the bible, ancient religious beliefs and practices. Shame on you all.

No one is casting stones. Many of us have read and studied the case files that include court transcripts and listened to interrogations/interviews. It would be ignorant to base someone’s supposed guilt over wearing black or listening to heavy metal music, or acting weird. We aren’t doing that. We’re also not basing our opinions on biased documentaries made by Hollywood. Yes, mistakes were made in this case, but you can’t argue with facts and evidence. And there’s plenty of it. Also, there have been convictions in other cases with mainly circumstantial evidence. My opinion is that he and the 2 other men killed those boys.

at first i only became interested in his story because of the memphis 3, but he has slowly became a huge help in my realization of my spirituality and religious beliefs.
I have been studying spirituality energy work and religions etc for over a decade. This mild mannered guy, whom I only discovered less than a week ago has joined so many dots and clarified a ton of stuff that has been rattling around my mind for ages. His knowledge and wisdom is absolutely amazing.
I really want to use this for overcoming my CPTSD. It sounds really interesting and I've been trying very hard to let my past go and stop replaying it in my head.
Eva_G You're arguing semantics. The new evidence excluded them. The state of Arkansas let them go because the new evidence would exonerate them in any court room that new what the hell they were doing.
@@optimisticcosmic If you mean the hair that _could_ be consistent with Terry Hobbs, then that means nothing in this case. It could easily have been transferred as the boys were around him a lot. Also, he has never been considered a suspect in this case.
Baba Ganoush The thing about that was that the hair was IN one of the knots. I’m not going to pretend to know for sure, but it doesn’t seem likely that the hair was “ transferred “.
@@wkgames7516 he had to sign a document that he did it to get out of prison he only got out on a technicality you dont know anything except what was shown in the HBO series which left out tons of evidence. Next time try and know what your talking about before running your mouth
Everyone needs a mission. When people retire, if they don't get a mission, they tend to die sooner. His mission became religion. Learning about that religion became a goal that the depressing surrounding didn't matter. Glad he has found something to bring him joy.
the unfortunate thing about damiens position is that anyone whos been down before knows the guys who find religion while locked up...kudos for maintaining faith after released. That said I really think this guy is doing a wonderful job being a center of pestilence...Take HEART! Only by suffering sickness do we become immune to the wiles of the world.
So ignorant, it makes me sick. Damien practices Abrahamic magick. He works with the Elohim Group; the Archangels and Angels + the Abrahamic names of God - TetraGrammaTon, or YHWH. It has nothing to do with Satanism. Read a book and - ‘Know Thy Self’.
@@uijnghhj402 Why didn't Epstein go to jail the first time? Why do some people get off and others don't. Celebs paid millions to get them out of jail. Don't act like the justice system isn't a total joke.
yes,that and the fact that there was ZERO evidence and a small town with bigoted,unintelligent religious freaks ready to convict based on nothing but their ignorance.
moreover,the reason Jason said he wanted to do that was not only for his and Jesses release but because they were hell bent on executing Damien and he knew Damien was innocent,as they all are.
@@lanabanana68 Thts what I was thinking- if he REALLY KNEW that this supposed horrible,child killing ringleader really actually did this then why would he want to see him go free ??? (And I just know someone's gonna say "cuz he is too!" ) Again, he didn't take tht deal right away like a cold blooded killer would have. So, thts logic.
@@lanabanana68 How did he really know he was innocent?.He was'nt with him at the time of the murder..or was he ?.After all they produced not one alibi between them.Drop there is zero evidence..please read the transcripts.,they are public record and his 500 page mental condition that his defence presented at the time of sentencing..
All three had the opportunity to clear there name.On advice from their lawyer who was the one who asked for the alford..they chose to stay with the guilty verdict.Why..the evidence to convict was too strong.Thats the fact.
If that's what you want in your special life, that's fine. But people my age are waking up to dogma and organized religion. Won't convince me without proof.
@@rosamila1758 Damien Echols, perhaps? The guy has been through things none of us could even imagine, and yet you DARE to judge him? Who granted you that right? Who told you to behave and act such? Begone with you and your spiteful ways, and begone with your progeny lest they carry on your ignorance.
People accusing him of being satanic in the comments, or saying he found religion that saved him. Both are false. What he found was even further beyond what Eastern practices taught about the path to Enlightenment. If you want proof watch S01 E03 of [ the Midnight Gospel ] on Netflix - Damien Echols is interviewed in that episode. His talk about the Cosmic Body is the closest step your ego can take to achieve divinity and escape the cyclic process of merging with the source of all matter and energy in our Universe - IE - the unraveling of the soul. There's nothing wrong with wanting to return to Source (it's the final resting place for all thought forms before their essence is recycled) and I admire everyone who love their mortal existence so much they chose to push the limits of what it means to physically exist. : )
@@kimmyfreak200 right? Yet he echoes Aleister Crowley when he speaks. Hard to believe he isn't a Satanist when he has the satanic s/sataic lightning bolt tattooed on his left hand, the satanic cross tattooed on his left shoulder, and the all seeing eye of Lucifer tattooed on his left wrist.
Morgan Kelly It was proven that mutilation never occurred, forensically. It was animals chewing the skin off of their appendages. You’re also ignoring the fact that there was zero physical evidence linking any of the 3 to the children. But let’s just treat him unfairly because he’s into what some people believe are taboo topics of discussion. Remember, the state of Arkansas made them sign an agreement forbidding them from suing. Yet again because they’re so obviously guilty. 🙄
@@morgankelly9725 you haven't mentioned ANY physical evidence. I'm afraid that is not how to justice system is supposed to work, hence they were released. Stop claiming to know that which you don't.
@@morgankelly9725 theirs more physical proof of his troubled past than actual physical evidence to the crimes he was arrested for... Makes no fucking sense. Jason Baldwin did not want to accept the plea... He said it himself he did it basically so Damien wouldn't get executed ... But of course you can just copy and paste what conveniently you find as proof that he's guilty asf 😒🙄
Since he was allegedly cleared of charges, did they bother to reopen the investigation and find out who did it? And if these teachings are based around Aleister Crowley, didn’t end well for him by the way, why would someone willingly put themselves on the same path.. Eh. Something just doesn’t sit right.
They weren’t cleared. They took a plea stating they’re guilty while maintaining their innocence so they could go free. Its the justice system’s way of saying “We k ow we screwed up but we dont want to admit it or put the effort in to find the actual murderer.” and so in the case theyre still technically guilty which means it’s a closed case.
Thelemites are not on the same path as Crowley. Crowley just founded the religion. No two people's path is the same because true will looks different for everyone.
Case against the West Memphis 3 look it up! They are guilty and it has nothing to do with them wearing black,heavy metal or Stephen King novels! That is how what they want you to think but that is horse manure!
I was a travesty what this lad went through,bent cops bad DA,judge all with tunnel vision good to see him well an making up for lost time nice tattoos..👍🏻🇬🇧🙏🏼
No one is going to give them a fair go or believe something proved their innocence otherwise they would still be in prison and most likely Damien would have been executed. The police always knew there was more to this crime than those 3 boys.I had friends 50 yrs ago who were just like Damien. All dressed in black and so on but that did not make them murderers.People judge if someone is different and it's always going to be that way. That's why normal looking people get away with murders for so long because the law go after the different ones.
I have pure love for this man, his path and his intention in this world. His intentions are so pure and he is so humble. God bless him and the two others who were wrongfully charged with murder. Let the truth be set in motion and these men be vindicated come June 23rd and, God willing, let the one(s) responsible be outted. Amen!
I didnt actually see him kill anyone, so i can't say things like "he's guilty, he killed those boys" but i have seen people do equally disgusting things in the name of their religious beliefs. Most "good people" are acually self-righteous hypocrites.
@@MrsVess your comment is predicated on the notion that that is acually what he did. Who saw him do that? As for my lifes experiences, that's none of your business.
i'm absolutely BLOWN away th at she did not ridicule or judge it she was interested and inquisitive about magick. I wish all people were this understanding. But sadly a lot of people hear the word magick and think you're a quack or that's what the evil people in the illuminati do lolol

What's crazy is, if he did want fame and recognition of his own brilliance, he did the right spell. wether he did murder anyone or not he kind of did. Because that was the beginning of manifesting what he wanted so badly. And he got 20 years to practice mindful manifestation. No limit to where he can go. I have no opinion on wether he did it or not it other than that. I firmly believe you can have whatever you want the most as long as you want it more than all others..in one way or another. Disclaimer: be careful what you wish for , you just might get it.
they were innocent,which anyone who isn't blinded by hatred and religious bigotry can see,zero evidence. Yes,manifesting is an important part of many spiritual paths,including Wicca which he studied as a teenager.Many paths use these principles under whatever names they choose.Attitude is everything in life.
@@lanabanana68 There is a ton of evidence. Absolutely none of which was shown in any of the documentaries. I was just as fooled as you were until I read the transcripts. Then I was furious for another reason....that this child murdering psycho was let go.
Please television tell me what to believe i am confused because i saw all three documentaries several times and only in the last 2 parts they shifted the focus away from Damien (where have i heard this name before ah yes its the name of the son of Satan), anyway in the first part a guy said he was his youth pastor and Damien told him he sold his soul to the devil, and that he couldnt touch a bible because if he did "the rest of them would get him"??? Then they said he was in a mental institution not like a few days but like a few months???? and received full disability status because of serious mental illness characterized by grandiose and persecutory delusions, auditory and visual hallucinations, disordered thought processes, substantial lack of insight, and chronic, incapacitating mood swings... Ah yes and he drank blood of the other patients or something to that extent.... So i cant help but stay a liiiittle suspicious of that guy. Like thats not like a bad boy attitude problem thats more like serious psycho possible serial killer problem.... Dude!!
Before he was released, Lorri was in control. Now that he's free, Damien's in control. When he allows her to speak, it is obvious the outcome has not been what Lorri had anticipated. She said he broke down twice and stayed in bed for three weeks. I bet Damien would instantly deny it happened.
@@joygrace7924 Lorie can walk away anytime she wants.I don't see her doing that.He doesn't control her. She just let's him speak. Don't read anything else into it.
@@j.goebbels2134 all evidence I have heard stated that the boys weren't sexually assaulted. So are you just throwing the word rape in there to horrify people.
so these guys are free now? DNA excluded them? Thats crazy if thats the case I think the real murderer was that crazy father of one of the kids. I saw the documentary and he was OUT THERE .
Well they did not take the trial, which is understandable after 18 years. If they had taken the trial, they might have been exonerated. Baldwin wanted to try.
My question...also interesting is the link between ceremonial magick as practiced by Nichols BEFORE the murders and his "place"now...to say nothing of what he did inside the joint
I guess I've lived in conservative places too long-blows my mind that they're talking about High Magick on a TV program. I used to live near Seattle in the mid-80's and I remember that news lady!
God will not be mocked. The wicked will have their day of judgement and then eternity. Their time is very short, just like their father the devil. Jesus Christ is Lord of lords, and King of kings.
Darkness has always connoted death and evil in most cultures. Yet . . . he's a sweet guy . . . swathed in darkness. Also, why in the hell would this seemingly deceitful creature wear sunglasses inside?
The Western Path to Enlightenment: enlightenment in Majick is defined as steps to climb in order to make you closer to being fooled into believing the devil.
Eastern enlightenment is a concept that existed long before the concept of the devil or Jesus. And did he you not hear a thing he said? He never mentioned a thing of the devil And mentioned early christian practice and Jewish mysticism.
There's still a little bit of integrity left in journalism, it's a miracle!!! Only example I've seen..sadly not many will see it bc "They" don't want that

Wasn't this guys whole thing that he wasn't into occult magic? So now he's saying the whole time he was practicing magic?
No. His idea was that he wasn't responsible for the murders. Whoever still thinks that he did it is retarded.
I know, shock, right?
He never said he isn't into magic.
He said he isn't into Satanism. Not all magic
It's rare to hear a public Thelemite.
I thought he was a new ager
@@mourningstar7266 seriously?
I'm pretty sure he's not a Thelemite, but otherwise you said a true statement.
I'm Amazed they had the Sack to put this on TV 😲😳🤓👍👌
at first i only became interested in his story because of the memphis 3, but he has slowly became a huge help in my realization of my spirituality and religious beliefs.
I have been studying spirituality energy work and religions etc for over a decade. This mild mannered guy, whom I only discovered less than a week ago has joined so many dots and clarified a ton of stuff that has been rattling around my mind for ages. His knowledge and wisdom is absolutely amazing.

If the new DNA evidence was strong enough to exonerate why wasn't it strong enough to convict? Terry Hobbs
I read that if it's a small amount it can exclude but not identify. Complicated Google it.
Eva_G You're arguing semantics. The new evidence excluded them. The state of Arkansas let them go because the new evidence would exonerate them in any court room that new what the hell they were doing.
@@optimisticcosmic If you mean the hair that _could_ be consistent with Terry Hobbs, then that means nothing in this case. It could easily have been transferred as the boys were around him a lot. Also, he has never been considered a suspect in this case.
Eva_G Exactly!

Everyone needs a mission. When people retire, if they don't get a mission, they tend to die sooner. His mission became religion. Learning about that religion became a goal that the depressing surrounding didn't matter. Glad he has found something to bring him joy.
I agree. I’m also glad he continued with his spiritual interests regardless of the shaming he got publicly for it.
indeed;that and his wife Lori :)
Agreed
@WM 3 Guilty Remorse for what?
the unfortunate thing about damiens position is that anyone whos been down before knows the guys who find religion while locked up...kudos for maintaining faith after released. That said I really think this guy is doing a wonderful job being a center of pestilence...Take HEART! Only by suffering sickness do we become immune to the wiles of the world.
The fact that Hollywood backed him up tells what happened plus his mentor Crowley did some dark ass magic sick stuff
I'm pretty sure he was involved somehow. Just not sure how. I believe it ties in with the Bojangles incident also. Again, not sure how.
So ignorant, it makes me sick.
Damien practices Abrahamic magick. He works with the Elohim Group; the Archangels and Angels + the Abrahamic names of God - TetraGrammaTon, or YHWH. It has nothing to do with Satanism.
Read a book and - ‘Know Thy Self’.

The 1 thing that makes me believe they AREN'T guilty of that crime is Jason Baldwin.
He was gonna stay in prison if it meant he had to plead guilty.
yes,that and the fact that there was ZERO evidence and a small town with bigoted,unintelligent religious freaks ready to convict based on nothing but their ignorance.
moreover,the reason Jason said he wanted to do that was not only for his and Jesses release but because they were hell bent on executing Damien and he knew Damien was innocent,as they all are.
@@lanabanana68 Thts what I was thinking- if he REALLY KNEW that this supposed horrible,child killing ringleader really actually did this then why would he want to see him go free ??? (And I just know someone's gonna say "cuz he is too!" ) Again, he didn't take tht deal right away like a cold blooded killer would have. So, thts logic.
@@lanabanana68 How did he really know he was innocent?.He was'nt with him at the time of the murder..or was he ?.After all they produced not one alibi between them.Drop there is zero evidence..please read the transcripts.,they are public record and his 500 page mental condition that his defence presented at the time of sentencing..
All three had the opportunity to clear there name.On advice from their lawyer who was the one who asked for the alford..they chose to stay with the guilty verdict.Why..the evidence to convict was too strong.Thats the fact.
As a witch and a magickal worker myself; I find him to be very down to Earth. I relate to him a lot.

Very good journalist who interviewed DE.
DE? Is an abbreviation for DEMON or DEVIL?
@@rosamila1758 Damien Echols, perhaps? The guy has been through things none of us could even imagine, and yet you DARE to judge him? Who granted you that right? Who told you to behave and act such? Begone with you and your spiteful ways, and begone with your progeny lest they carry on your ignorance.
People accusing him of being satanic in the comments, or saying he found religion that saved him. Both are false. What he found was even further beyond what Eastern practices taught about the path to Enlightenment. If you want proof watch S01 E03 of [ the Midnight Gospel ] on Netflix - Damien Echols is interviewed in that episode. His talk about the Cosmic Body is the closest step your ego can take to achieve divinity and escape the cyclic process of merging with the source of all matter and energy in our Universe - IE - the unraveling of the soul. There's nothing wrong with wanting to return to Source (it's the final resting place for all thought forms before their essence is recycled) and I admire everyone who love their mortal existence so much they chose to push the limits of what it means to physically exist. : )
Mumbo jumbo is what I just read
@@Beam1-zo9if well admittedly I am thick. 240lbs thick.. But still it's pretty much mumbo jumbo
I think what he practices is called Thelema.... not Satanism...
You are telling people to pretty much read the teachings of Aleister Crowley.
which he denied knowing or reading during the trial
@@kimmyfreak200 right? Yet he echoes Aleister Crowley when he speaks. Hard to believe he isn't a Satanist when he has the satanic s/sataic lightning bolt tattooed on his left hand, the satanic cross tattooed on his left shoulder, and the all seeing eye of Lucifer tattooed on his left wrist.
Morgan Kelly It was proven that mutilation never occurred, forensically. It was animals chewing the skin off of their appendages. You’re also ignoring the fact that there was zero physical evidence linking any of the 3 to the children. But let’s just treat him unfairly because he’s into what some people believe are taboo topics of discussion. Remember, the state of Arkansas made them sign an agreement forbidding them from suing. Yet again because they’re so obviously guilty. 🙄
@@morgankelly9725 you haven't mentioned ANY physical evidence. I'm afraid that is not how to justice system is supposed to work, hence they were released. Stop claiming to know that which you don't.
@@morgankelly9725 theirs more physical proof of his troubled past than actual physical evidence to the crimes he was arrested for... Makes no fucking sense. Jason Baldwin did not want to accept the plea... He said it himself he did it basically so Damien wouldn't get executed ... But of course you can just copy and paste what conveniently you find as proof that he's guilty asf 😒🙄
Since he was allegedly cleared of charges, did they bother to reopen the investigation and find out who did it? And if these teachings are based around Aleister Crowley, didn’t end well for him by the way, why would someone willingly put themselves on the same path.. Eh. Something just doesn’t sit right.
They weren’t cleared. They took a plea stating they’re guilty while maintaining their innocence so they could go free. Its the justice system’s way of saying “We k ow we screwed up but we dont want to admit it or put the effort in to find the actual murderer.” and so in the case theyre still technically guilty which means it’s a closed case.
heh.. crowley died of old age after a lifetime of booze, orgies and drugs.. just like any ordinary catholic priest these days..
Thelemites are not on the same path as Crowley. Crowley just founded the religion. No two people's path is the same because true will looks different for everyone.
What a gracious and genuine interviewer🤘

Case against the West Memphis 3 look it up! They are guilty and it has nothing to do with them wearing black,heavy metal or Stephen King novels! That is how what they want you to think but that is horse manure!
I was a travesty what this lad went through,bent cops bad DA,judge all with tunnel vision good to see him well an making up for lost time nice tattoos..👍🏻🇬🇧🙏🏼
No one is going to give them a fair go or believe something proved their innocence otherwise they would still be in prison and most likely Damien would have been executed. The police always knew there was more to this crime than those 3 boys.I had friends 50 yrs ago who were just like Damien. All dressed in black and so on but that did not make them murderers.People judge if someone is different and it's always going to be that way. That's why normal looking people get away with murders for so long because the law go after the different ones.
I have pure love for this man, his path and his intention in this world. His intentions are so pure and he is so humble. God bless him and the two others who were wrongfully charged with murder. Let the truth be set in motion and these men be vindicated come June 23rd and, God willing, let the one(s) responsible be outted. Amen!
You are one sick puppy.
Christian God the most evil
@@Kathleen2022 He is more powerful than the Christian God
I didnt actually see him kill anyone, so i can't say things like "he's guilty, he killed those boys" but i have seen people do equally disgusting things in the name of their religious beliefs. Most "good people" are acually self-righteous hypocrites.
So you've seen people rape, torture, mutilate and consume blood from innocent children they don't even know?
@@MrsVess your comment is predicated on the notion that that is acually what he did. Who saw him do that? As for my lifes experiences, that's none of your business.

written *BY* -- famed attorney *WILLIAM RAMSEY* .

What's crazy is, if he did want fame and recognition of his own brilliance, he did the right spell. wether he did murder anyone or not he kind of did. Because that was the beginning of manifesting what he wanted so badly. And he got 20 years to practice mindful manifestation. No limit to where he can go. I have no opinion on wether he did it or not it other than that. I firmly believe you can have whatever you want the most as long as you want it more than all others..in one way or another.
Disclaimer: be careful what you wish for , you just might get it.
they were innocent,which anyone who isn't blinded by hatred and religious bigotry can see,zero evidence. Yes,manifesting is an important part of many spiritual paths,including Wicca which he studied as a teenager.Many paths use these principles under whatever names they choose.Attitude is everything in life.
@@lanabanana68 There is a ton of evidence. Absolutely none of which was shown in any of the documentaries. I was just as fooled as you were until I read the transcripts. Then I was furious for another reason....that this child murdering psycho was let go.
Well, they do say " be careful what you wish for"
he admitted he did it. Even bragged about it. The people he did it with also confessed and plead guilty.
@@lanabanana68 you're an idiot.
Very good interview!
Woo whoooo yes! I am so happy for you!!!
Damien Echols is an excellent listener. Excellent.
Please television tell me what to believe i am confused because i saw all three documentaries several times and only in the last 2 parts they shifted the focus away from Damien (where have i heard this name before ah yes its the name of the son of Satan), anyway in the first part a guy said he was his youth pastor and Damien told him he sold his soul to the devil, and that he couldnt touch a bible because if he did "the rest of them would get him"??? Then they said he was in a mental institution not like a few days but like a few months???? and received full disability status because of serious mental illness characterized by grandiose and persecutory delusions, auditory and visual hallucinations, disordered thought processes, substantial lack of insight, and chronic, incapacitating mood swings...
Ah yes and he drank blood of the other patients or something to that extent....
So i cant help but stay a liiiittle suspicious of that guy.
Like thats not like a bad boy attitude problem thats more like serious psycho possible serial killer problem....
Dude!!
Before he was released, Lorri was in control. Now that he's free, Damien's in control. When he allows her to speak, it is obvious the outcome has not been what Lorri had anticipated. She said he broke down twice and stayed in bed for three weeks. I bet Damien would instantly deny it happened.
Jiří B. How do you know they actually did it?
@@joygrace7924 Lorie can walk away anytime she wants.I don't see her doing that.He doesn't control her. She just let's him speak. Don't read anything else into it.

The Western Path to Enlightenment: enlightenment in Majick is defined as steps to climb in order to make you closer to being fooled into believing the devil.

You can call it the devil or God. Could be the Christian God or the Jewish God or whatever higher power you believe in.
Stop

Eastern enlightenment is a concept that existed long before the concept of the devil or Jesus. And did he you not hear a thing he said? He never mentioned a thing of the devil And mentioned early christian practice and Jewish mysticism.

Because he killed theml
He didn't need supernatural powers, the evidence against was shoddy, it was only a matter of time before he was released.
Ideally, but the point of the story is that the system is flawed, hence why he paid 18 years for it. "A matter of time"
