TACOMA, WA.: Dep. Ed Troyer has
undertaken an ambitious project...the
development of a police training
manual for occult crimes
investigations. The Editor has
reviewed a draft of it, and it
promises to be a standard handbook for
all of us. Pertinent excerpts from
the Satanic Ritual Calendar section
should give us warning:
**February 2--SATANIC REVELS: sexual
ritual using oral/anal/vaginal sex
with females between the ages of 7 and
17.
**February 25--ST. WALPURGIS DAY:
blood-type ritual using an animal and
the host of blood and dismemberment.
**March 20--ST. EICHATADT: blood
ritual using a male or female with the
drinking of human blood for strength
and homage to demons.
**March 20--FEAST DAY: orgies for the
Spring Equinox.
**April 19-26--Preparation for the
Sacrifice to come. Ed. Note: May
include the recruitment and
preparation of a ritual human
sacrifice victim.
**April 26 (or to April 30, Ed. Note)-
-GRAND CLIMAX: Da Meur-type ritual
using Dorpus de Baahl,
oral/anal/vaginal sex with female age
1 to 25. (Ed. Note: April 30 is
Beltane or Walpurgisnacht or May Eve,
generally held to be the second
highest date on the ritual calendar,
second only to Halloween. Human
sacrifices are anticipated.)

15. FINAL QUESTION. The phrase
"Yankee Rose" appears on the last page
of LaVey's SATANIC BIBLE, it was the
name of a song by David Lee Roth about
a hooker, and it was recently written
on the body of a male murder victim
with lipstick. What is the
significance of "Yankee Rose?"
