Bill Schnoebelen was first initiated as a witch [sic] in 1968.
After receiving his BA in music and philosophy, he went to Boston to
receive Alexandrian initiations in 1973 of the High Priesthood. That
same year, Bill also received the high priesthood in the "Druidic Craft
of the Wise." Under the names of Christopher and Alexandria
Pendragon-Syn, Bill and his wife Sharon began setting up covens in
eastern Iowa that same year. Beginning in 1974, they moved to
Milwaukee and began teaching year after year of classes in Wicca,
initiating over 175 people over a 6-7 year period.
"Christopher and Alexandria" started a network of covens which ran
all through the midwest and their Milwaukee area groups, the Sophia
coven and the Astreas coven were among the largest and longest lasting
covens in eastern Wisconsin. They were also ordained spiritualist
ministers and were involved for several years with the Church of All
Worlds. They helped with the start of a CAW nest in Milwaukee.
Following the direction of some of his earthly mentors and "the
gods," Bill began to get involved in Satanism as an adjunct to his
Wiccan activities in 1976. He joined the Church of Satan and later
became involved in the Crowleyan [sic] Thelema current of magic. He
was consecrated a bishop over Milwaukee in 1978 in the Gnostic Catholic
church, joined the OTO and began to introduce satanic and Thelemic
influences to the upper level members of their covens.
About this time, a Christian lady began praying for Bill; and her
prayers essentially brought down his entire magickal power structure
overnight; as well as taking the satanic leadership away from him. In
desperation, he asked Lucifer for a sign, and within days, Mormon
missionaries arrived at his door. Having been told years before by his
mentor that the Mormon church was essentially a cover organization for
Witchcraft [sic], Bill and his wife joined the church. Four years in
the Mormon church (still practicing Wicca, but eschewing Satanism)
began to confront him with his inability to "work his way to
perfection."
Finally, in 1984, Bill Schnoebelen renounced Mormonism and Wicca
for the false [sic] religions they were [sic], and gave his heart to
Jesus Christ by trusting in Him, and Him alone for salvation and
eternal life. He is now in full-time ministry and is dedicated to
bringing those lost, as he was, in the darkness of the cults [sic],
into the wonderful light of Jesus Christ. He is the author of three
books, including WICCA: SATAN'S LITTLE WHITE LIE.
