Ritual abuse, as defined by the Ritual Abuse Task Force, is “a brutal form of abuse of children, adolescents, and adults, consisting of physical, sexual and psychological abuse, and involving the use of rituals.”

The purpose of SRA is to indoctrinate the victim into satanic beliefs and practices. Ritual abuse is repeated over an extended period and may involve rape. The victims are “groomed” to participate. Because of the coercive nature of the group, people feel as if they are hostages and they are threatened. As a result, they do not want to break the silence.

Ritual and sexual abuse have many parallels. In both cases, abusers repeat routines and rituals to coerce people into behavior required to fulfill their agendas. Fear is instilled to ensure silence.

Ritual abuse is another form of a hostage situation. When wounds of childhood involving physical, verbal, and sexual abuse are present, children are groomed to be compliant. This grooming process can take place during nursery rhymes, prayer, bath time, gifts, elaborate games, dressing up, or taking photographs.

In the case of SRA, the satanic abuse it is taken to a whole new level leaving victims feeling objectified, tortured, and worthless. Their sense of self, if there was any to begin with, is usurped by their captors whose purpose is control. In some cases, the subject is raped repeatedly and forced to watch ritual murder.

Often multigeneration in nature, generations of families may have practiced devil and demonic worship as a way of life. This type of abuse can cross over to the sex trade industry. The ritually abused fear for their lives because of the pressure from the SRA family/cult.

SRA FROM A MIND MAP PERSPECTIVE

When we are abused ritually, we plunge into an extreme darkness of disconnection. Behind the curtain of ritualistic abuse is a blueprint of childhood trauma/abuse.

During the first few years of life, the SRA abuser creates the blueprint. Controlling, abusive, and neglectful parents set the bar for future participation in these rituals.

Like abusive parents, SRA cults hold hostage their victims. The cults are a blueprint of the old family unit. This “system gone wrong” is an example of narcissistic abuse because it is the abuser/parents that gain power over the child rather than the child being empowered and nurtured by the parents/community.

The SRA system is a WTF (What The Freud) repetition principle version of the original system gone wrong. The double dungeon of darkness perpetuates multiple generations until the old system is exposed, and the damaged emotions are reprocessed and healed.
