ABSTRACT:In 1992, the British television news program Dispatches aired clips from a video described as the first ever, eyewitness proof of satanically motivated child abuse. Days later, newspapers reported that the video was misrepresented. The clips were drawn from First Transmissions, an experimental video produced by Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (T.O.P.Y.) a geographically disperse occult collective committed to subverting mainstream media. This article provides a detailed history of this incident. First, it uses the event as an entrée into T.O.P.Y.'s magickal media activism. Second, it locates the groups' inadvertent appearance on Dispatches within sweeping changes to the late-20th-century media landscape. Providing this context demonstrates how new possibilities in the production and circulation of audiovisual media provoked religious conflicts and concerns for radical occultists and conservative television journalists alike. While T.O.P.Y.'s uses of media were intended to enable individual self-actualization and to undermine established institutions, their detractors on Dispatches figured underground media economies as sites of satanic conspiracy and worked to discipline their creators.
摘要：1992年，英国电视新闻节目Dispatches播出了一段视频片段，该视频被描述为有史以来第一个目击者证明了出于撒旦动机的虐待儿童行为。几天后，报纸报道说，这段视频被歪曲了。这些片段来自《第一次传播》，这是一段实验视频，由Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth（T.O.P.Y.）制作，该组织是一个地理分散的神秘团体，致力于颠覆主流媒体。这篇文章提供了这一事件的详细历史。首先，它将此次活动作为T.O.P.Y.媒体激进主义的入口。其次，它将这些团体在Dispatches上的无意出现定位于20世纪末媒体格局的全面变化中。提供这种背景表明，视听媒体的生产和流通中的新可能性如何引发宗教冲突，以及激进神秘主义者和保守派电视记者的担忧。虽然T.O.P.Y.对媒体的使用旨在实现个人的自我实现，并破坏既定的制度，但他们在Dispatches上的批评者将地下媒体经济视为撒旦阴谋的场所，并努力约束其创造者。

ABSTRACT:This article deals with the possible existence of doctrines in modern Paganism. Generally, Pagan studies scholars widely consider modern Paganism a religion without doctrines. Furthermore, Margot Adler, one of the early researchers of modern Paganism, established a narrative that practice is more important than beliefs in modern Paganism. However, based on ethnographic research conducted among modern European Pagans between 2014 and 2017, along with additional secondary data, this article argues that doctrines may emerge in situations of pressure or conflict, or while delineating boundaries and gatekeeping Paganism against other religions. In such situations, beliefs become enforced and turn into the basis of potential doctrines. Doctrines are authoritatively defined theoretical components of religion, comprising teaching, beliefs, and confessions. Their authoritative character has its historical roots in Christianity and tries to keep the doctrinal contents fixed using a dynamic of truth and falsity, which determines orthodoxy—distinguishing right faith from error.
