We explore a lot of esoteric things here on 1-900-ðŸŒ, but today I’m going to talk about a book everyone can relate to– a guidebook specifically for therapists treating patients with multiple personalities who were hypnotized into murdering their siblings by feces-eating Satanic cults.

In 1994, Dee Brown published the definitive guide to identifying and curing childhood blood orgy trauma with Satanic Ritual Abuse – A Therapist’s Handbook. I want you to take a moment to picture how crazy this book is going to be before reading the most predictable sentence I’ve ever typed. I’m your real father and this book is so much fucking crazier than you could ever imagine.

As a therapist, Dee started specializing in satanic ritual abuse survivors after one of her patients didn’t reveal to her how she was abused by a sex cult. Dee sensed some satanic ritual abuse stories coming, but chickened out before hearing them. She felt like a coward! A fool! She vowed never to do it again, and it’s very possible she overcompensated by diagnosing all future problems with “satanic ritual abuse.”
But before she teaches us, her fellow non-insane therapists, how to diagnose devil cult mind control, Dee explains exactly what we’re dealing with with Satan worshippers.

It’s all pretty standard stuff. Teen girls are used as breeding stock for the dark lord after a childhood of stabbing babies to death and eating their genitals while getting their own genitals burned and shocked after being “cut severely with knives, particularly in the genital area.” It’s almost impossible for Dee Brown to have so little knowledge about so many things she couldn’t spot the holes in a story about hundreds of murderers getting together to operate a baby blood factory.
What’s it like being a pediatrician in this town? Calling one of your 50 pregnant teenage patients about her checkup and hearing, “Hello? Oh, hi, doctor. Yeah, I had the baby a few days ago, but I… misplaced it? Yeah, it sucks. No, don’t worry about it. Thanks for checking in. What? Genital-eating ritual? No, this is just a normal missing baby. Ha ha, you’re right! It does seem to happen a lot to the girls of Quiet Town of Forbidden Secrets High!”
I’m only kidding. Dee obviously addresses how there’s no proof of any of this except the testimony of actual crazy people as told to the world’s most gullible therapist.

You might say a lack of proof is only more proof of Satan’s power. Or at least proof this goes all the way to the top. All it takes is a few cops and a mayor with a taste for baby genitals and you can cover up a couple hundred murders and several thousand missing children in the same town no problem. And hold up, you sure are acting lackadaisical for someone against eating babies. Do you want them to get away with it? Why are you so eager for us to think this obviously dumb thing is stupid?
Let Dee explain how all this works:

See, the way these sex murderers get away with it is they don’t sex murder all the time. A dentist might put his penis away and wash off the drifter blood before he cleans your teeth. This makes it difficult, maybe even unlikely, to catch them in the act. “I believe all of this, breathlessly, and in fact I’m going to put it in my book,” said Dee Brown to her patient. “Oh? That reminds you of the time your grade school principal had sex with you for an entire school day? And then a skeletal boatman took you to a toddler juicing with the local minister and Vice President Dan Quayle? Why, yes, I of course still believe every word you’re saying. Who would make this up? A lonely, disturbed person being rewarded for it? Outrageous.”
Another trait of Dee’s is she never seems to focus on the important details. As you saw above, she’ll make a paragraph-long list of possible careers Satan worshippers can pursue and then devote maybe half a sentence to the sexual assault of a 7-year-old in broad daylight. It seems like someone believing that story could look up the victim’s grade school. I mean, that’s a solid lead, right? The name and exact location of a man responsible for untold numbers of sex crimes and homicides? These people are so loose with it, it honestly seems like you could walk up to him and say, “I’m from the cult two towns over. I heard you’re the guy to talk to about feasting on the flesh of the innocent?” Or you could follow him and make a careful note of which buildings he comes out of covered in blood.

I worry Dee Brown spends so much time listening to the gruesome stories of her patients’ multiple personalities that she has lost perspective on what’s actually strange. Like here how she talks about a cult family getting together for some killing and raping at a potluck. Wait, potluck? Fucking POTLUCK!? Did that murderer cook a goddamn casserole!? You’re telling me the man who, I don’t know, forced his child to carve the penis off a newborn or whatever brought a covered dish to a party!? No. No, this is nuts. This is so fucked.
I’m going to share one more long quote from the book because it’s important to me you understand how often Dee repeats these same details. She spends sixty pages rewording the same description of the least imaginative person’s Pictionary drawing of “satan ritual.” Every word she writes is both pointless and made up– little flourishes that only illustrate how she can’t detect a lie. She’s so stupid she thinks she’s arming you with knowledge by telling you cultists chant in a circle wearing “robes that are black, white, brown, or red.” So feel free to let your guard down if you see a goat getting fucked to death by hooded figures in blue or animal print.

Maybe by this point you’re saying, “Okay, she’s dumb as shit, but what’s the harm in believing huge parts of society are run by secret rape cults?” And maybe I agree. She seems to have only good intentions, and she’s only diagnosing vulnerable people with a controversial disorder brought on by completely fabricated trauma. It’s not like she’s denying the Holocaust.

Oh. Oh no.
I think we should move on to ways you, yourself can diagnose your patients with the common medical condition of “forgot I’ve been in a murder cult my entire life.” One easy way to tell is if your patient has an eating disorder. Do they eat too much? Not enough? Probably satanic abuse.

Is their life kind of indescribably a mess? Because that’s one of the symptoms of getting satanically abused.

Do they sometimes feel down around the holidays? Some experts call these “seasonal mood fluctuations,” which is a cowardly way of saying “you ate baby genitals for Christmas your entire childhood.”

If your patient says they are sometimes sad but it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Christmas, that’s worse. It means they have seasonal affective disorder, only for satanic seasons. Let me pull up Appendix B like Dee suggests so we can see some major devil holidays.

So if you’re sad around the 1st, 7th, 17th, or 29th of January, it’s probably because those are the days your body misses sex orgies and human sacrifices. Most of April is taken up with sex orgies as well, but the only thing on the Satanic Calendar for May is “Easter,” a satanic parody of Easter. Again, this book is for highly skilled therapists only, but next time you’re depressed in May ask yourself, “Am I sad? Or do I just miss the comical sendup of Jesus’ resurrection performed by goat-masked men who made me drink piss and stab eleven of my infant siblings?”
Dee Brown seems completely blind to how deranged and imaginary all of this is, while at the same time writing the literal book on how to defeat it. It’s so strange I’m not sure there’s an analogy to explain it. There is a basketball player who shares a name with her, but he’s most famous for winning a dunk contest with an eyes-closed slam. Is there maybe a sports metaphor hiding there? I feel like there’s got to be some kind of, I don’t know, parallel between Dee Brown blindly dunking on nobody and Dee Brown blindly dunking on nobody. I’ve got it! Both Dee Browns are pretty sure hall-of-famer Kevin McHale drinks human blood! It’s why he gets sad near Easter!

By far the best thing about Dee Brown, the therapist, not the 1991 NBA dunk champion, is how she does art therapy. She lets grown adults with no artistic training express themselves with murder cartoons, and she included the best ones in her book. As proof? For fun? I don’t know, but when the child inside your patient draws a naked man chopping a sex doll in half, you’re going to put it in the book.

I know what NBA dunk champion would say about this drawing. He’d say, “Wow, you know less about axes than you do about penises. You draw like your art teacher tasers genitals at blood orgies. That’s right, I can dunk off the court too, bi– oh, your art teacher did taser your genitals at blood orgies? I’m sorry, ma’a– hey, look. I said I was sorry; how could I know? Your story’s ridiculous.”

When I see this I think, “What kind of monster asked a four-year-old to draw a picture of a jack o’lantern fucking an ice cream cake?” When Dee sees it she notes the dick, gasp, sort of looks like a, second gasp, goat’s head. This thing’s hands look like cats trying to intimidate themselves in mirrors. And he’s screaming, “I WILL CONTROL YOU! TOTALLY I CAN! YES! I CAN!” If you’re going to spell the art out this plainly, why are you drawing at all? Save yourself the embarrassment and use your words to say, “My hypnotist’s penis had the head of a goat and I’m the little boy in his tummy with one weird foot. It’s probably why I’m sad near Easter.”

Dee’s patients draw with a dreamlike logic, partly because baby impaling isn’t an exact science and partly because there’s an idiot in the room who seems fascinated by every nonsense detail they make up. So blood chalices can float and candelabras can have arms and no one will stop them to say, “What the shit is this? How would any of this work? You know you can talk. Or draw torsos. You’re a grown woman, not a feral child Jodie Foster found in a psychological thriller. There is no need to deliver any of this information through dream cartoon.”

So Dee, you’re saying if a non-coward, such as yourself,was to believe this patient, and you do, they would want to be on the lookout for an awkwardly-shaped man with an eight person wingspan. Looks like NBA hall-of-famer Kevin McHale just went from being unlikely reference to lead suspect. You know, this also makes sense out of why he famously chanted, “Power! Kill torture Burn Burn The Knife Knife!” before every free throw.

This one looks like something went wrong with the sacrifice ropes and two bumbling cultists are trying to catch all the baby blood. And all the other attendees, from stick figure to chimpanzee, are embarrassed to be there. Is it, like, a comedy skit? Oh shit, is this the Easter parody they were talking about? Ha ha this fucking sucks, Satan.

I guess when Lucy Bloodscream-Beast goes to work on Monday her co-workers will say, “I wasn’t expecting you to see you so soon! I heard your baby was made into a milkshake for The Devil. Oh, don’t worry about it. Most everyone here is cool. Plus, we’re all going to completely forget it happened unless we find a really, just, amazing therapist decades from now. Let us know if you need anything. My last four pregnancies were all milkshaked. By choice! With the yard and the timeshare, Tom and I simply don’t have time to torture and blood-fuck a bunch of rugrats.”
Okay, so now you know how to identify satanic ritual abuse and how to appreciate satanic ritual abuse art, so it’s time to start fixing it. Let’s look at Chapter 5: The Work Begins, which opens in a way more incredible than anything else in the entire book.

So if you’re treating someone who has “multiple personalities” from “a lifetime of ritualistic torture” by a “worldwide cabal of blood sorcerers,” the first thing you want to do –the first thing– is to make sure you’re not “too perfect” a therapist. Fuck up your office a little to let them know you aren’t an undercover cultist. There will never be anything as perfectly funny as the author of this book, this credulous retelling of conspiracy theories from the literal insane, thinking her main flaw and the very first one her readers expect her to address is how she’s too good at her job. The second thing to do? I guess it’s probably remembering all the names of your clients’ multiple personalities.

“Okay, Red, I get you’re mad. But I need to talk to Cece for a minute. No, I can’t tell you why. Yes, I know she’s the personality in charge of tolerating being buried underground. Yes, I can see how that might be suspicious. But you can trust me. Would someone working in an office this strangely -almost deliberately- cluttered bury you alive to see if it therapeutically cures devil magic? Look. I’m a ‘doctor’ and you’re a pissed off fifth grader living inside an alcoholic divorcee. Get in the coffin and call Cece, Red.”
Something to watch out for when you’re treating cult survivors is how cults have an entire portion of their membership whose job is keeping tabs on escaped members. Luckily, the stakes are lower than you think. These are people who have murdered several times a week for decades, but they would never kill to protect a secret. Not even a secret that could get them crudely drawn in a therapy book.

So instead of killing former members, they perform subtle hypnotic gestures like tapping on a phone receiver or mailing them a clown doll. It can be anything, which makes your job as a therapist that much harder. Is that a new UPS man? Your client’s former cult could easily have a level 4 blood wizard in UPS middle management. Should you train a rifle on your client’s front door in case local kidnappers want to force them to attend a barn murder? Wait, did your husband seem a bit distant around May of last year? How deep does this go!?

In conclusion, check with your therapist to make sure they’re not completely and irresponsibly apefuck crazy.

It’s the Dogg Zzone 9000 Episode Nine! It’s the day Brockway decided we were getting to the bottom of something that’s been bothering us for months: Heathcliff comics. For instance, what’s going on with them, and what the fuck is going on with them? They’re absurdist in a world with no rules, or are they? They’re bad jokes posing as anti-jokes, or are they? There’s a good chance we didn’t solve it.
Still, to make the journey into insanity more pleasant(?) we invited superstar voice actress Fryda Wolff (Apex Legends, Cyberpunk 2077, Mass Effect 3, Trolls, The Mighty Ones) to join us. Listen to her get disappointed in Heathcliff, and us, as she describes and narrates each of the magical(?) cat’s adventures! You can stop reading and go listen now or scroll past the HOT gentleman square dancers to Brockway’s carefully(?) curated Heathcliff cartoons and follow along.

Oh, and in Extra Weiner, the bonus episode available on our Discord server, the three of us watch a sizzle reel for Cocktails, an independent-made drama(?) about a war between Good and Evil set against the backdrop of the Castro gay bar scene. It fucking rules, and it’s the subject of our next Teamworking Day. Okay, here are the HOT gentleman square dancers from the unmade TV sensation Cocktails you need to scroll past to get to the meat tank children love(?) so much. Am I making sense? I feel like I’m not making sense. Does my helmet say ASS or HAM? Wait, don’t tell me.










I’m going to start this article with the same phrase Bill Cosby whispers into his cellmate’s ear every night: “If magic was real, you’d use it to force others to have sex with you, right?” It’s also the phrase publishers in the year 2001 might recognize as the entire pitch for Gilly Sergiev’s 60 Sexy spells of seduction.

60 Sexy spells of seduction is a book for lonely witches to get laid by any means necessary, but also dumber and sadder than that sounds. It’s about stalking the non-magical and tricking them into loving you with the powers of mischievous, untrustworthy gods. At the same time it’s a lazy self-help book for people who, by self-selection, will fucking believe anything. And finally, it’s a bubbly, sassy artifact from an awkward moment in modern feminism where sex positivity meant coyly hinting at 9th date intercourse under the words “You Go!”

The book is lovingly dedicated to “Everyone who wants to know a secret,” but it’s a secret that has since aged into what you or I might call “how to sexually assault.” Gilly also dedicated it to Emil, a person or being who cast a spell over her. I’m already a bit of a skeptic when it comes to sex sorcery since it would only take one of these spells to work before it destroyed all Earth economies and communities. But it sort of gives away the game when a person who claims to use actual spells still uses the casual turn of phrase “cast a spell over me” to refer to non-spells. A real wizard would never talk like this. It’d be like an umpire saying, “Great job! That base hit was a real home run!”

Another hint this could all be bullshit is how Gilly lets us know witches don’t ever fully explain their spells. So when none of them work, that’s by design. Could you imagine the danger of a book that let you magically seduce anyone? It would be absurd. Something only an idiot would believe. Something a prosecutor would show to a jury as Exhibit A.

Before the spells, Gilly spends 46 pages gossiping about the different kinds of Wiccans and how some of them are fake bitches and others are total fucking Mirandas. There’s some other witchcraft basics like pentagrams and numerology, but mainly it’s fashion and beauty tips. Witchcraft has, okay, an identity? But like, it’s not a uniform. It’s, um, I guess more of an attitude? You wouldn’t get it, granddaughter.

There are four main kinds of witches described in the section called “The Look!” They are Niche Witch, Ritch Witch, Kitsch Witch, and Ditch Bitch. And if you think this sounds lame as shit, explain how Gilly would know something as cool as this: Ditch Bitches wear Eternity by Calvin Klein to enhance their magickal powers.

A lot of Gilly’s writing has the desperate energy of a high school essay and in this section on “Hair” you can almost see where she backspaced “Webster’s Dictionary defines hair as threadlike strands growing from mammals and it’s so true.” She’s also very inclusive, which is nice, but it often comes at the cost of her entire premise. For instance, when you explain how hair is the source of a witch’s powers and yet there’s no disadvantage to being bald, hair wasn’t the source of a witch’s powers. And Gilly says it’s okay to swap out ingredients in her magic recipes if you’re, say, allergic to tree nut oil. Do love potions work like that? If any of this is real, making random substitutions in a love potion recipe seems like a good way to get fucked by every nearby horse.

Girl, I can’t stress enough how cute the tone is in this book about defying the laws of God and Man to fuck the unwilling. Giggle! These are all psychological placebos, girl! For people driven stupid by horniness, ladies!

The first spell is innocent enough– “To make someone notice you.” You perform a ritual to attach a magick seal to a piece of quartz, but remember– something important has been removed from this ritual because, as stated, a big part of witchcraft is not telling others how to do witchcraft. Then you take the quartz, which remember, will not have a magick seal on it, and touch your victim with it. If you do this right, they’ll “notice.” This isn’t a terrible tip since your derangement will be interesting to them, or your lack of shame should give you away as sexually desperate, a trait some men find adequate. You go!

It’s not a great sign when it’s only the fourth sexy spell and you’re already contacting your ex to see if they want to hook up. Don’t text them, though. Write their name inside a fruit and hurl it into the night. The Earth will know what to do when the ants in your lawn bring a piece of paper that says “BUFFALO WILD WINGS JEFF” back to their queen. Obviously, the colony will form a human shape, hammer its hands against your door and shriek, “jjeeEEEEEEEEFFFFFFF!” Long before its writhing form makes love to you you’ll realize you were never meant to wield these awesome fruit powers.

The book includes several variations on the love potion, and bless Gilly’s heart, she wants to make sure you’re old enough to drink before you attempt this forbidden sangria recipe. She’ll happily violate the laws of our universe and smear her fruit juices all over your free will, but all magick recognizes the sanctity of state liquor laws.

Let the record show Gilly Sergiev’s tenth seduction spell is just a recipe for shampoo. And I know I brought this up already, but please remember she left something out. So this sorceress is saying you can use a can of lentil soup for conditioner if you want, but if you really want your hair to shine, try boiling some apple vinegar with flowers along with a mystery ingredient you must discover for yourself. The only time anyone should have ever said anything this pointless would be after the words, “You can’t die from having a dumb idea. Watch.” Gilly’s brain is done– just a dusty wad of meat between her earrings coughing out half-remembered home remedies. And she still has 83% of a book left to write.

If your looks, along with the potions, fruit, and quartz aren’t working, you can attract a lover with candles. I’m starting to think this book might be a good thing. It’s childish make-believe for moist boomers, sure, but it’s basically telling stalkers their best move is to go home and do 4,000 weird things by themselves. It’s a short term strategy that only works on the extremely gullible, but maybe now they’ll blame The Earth Goddess for their loneliness rather tha– oh no. Once I start putting a positive spin on the insanity a book has officially made me sad.

Yeah. This is officially sad. Gilly has forgotten what she was supposed to be doing and started gluing together a “Money magnet.”

Oh, Jesus. Now she’s casting a spell to make herself less jealous. You might think I’m jokingly changing her intent, but I promise this is not a spell to make her friends happy for all her beautiful hair, romance, and money. This is a ritual to make you less envious, you sad fuck. You’ve called on Satan’s dark power 21 times and have nothing to show for it, and now you’re asking for his help in dealing with it. It’s getting too silly. What’s next, beginner broomstick riding?

Until I read Gilly’s section on beginner broomstick riding, it had honestly never occurred to me that “witches flying on broomsticks” is how history chose to adapt “unappealing women jerking off with broomsticks.” Gilly has to know, though; right? I mean, these are clear instructions on how to fuck yourself with a broom.

The book eventually gets back on track. For example, spell #33 is a classic recipe for orgy potpourri.

As you can tell, most of these spells are either adapted from random folklore or completely made up for an audience who wouldn’t know or care. But the 35th spell, “Seduction menu,” is just instructions for a dinner date. This woman came up with the idea of putting on your nice underwear and cooking dinner and thought, “Dare I share these secret magicks? Can I trust a random book store customer with the hot tip of filling your lover with garlic and dairy and then fucking them!? Like, give me a sign to Go or Not Go, Girl!”

I can’t think of any spell sexier than “For attraction and success in legal matters.” To be clear, this is not for getting your lawyer to penetrate you. It’s just to win a court case– something you might need after Congress makes it illegal to ensorcell a groin without consent.

Along with all the love potion variations, there are a few spells to do the opposite of attracting others. Boning people with magic is a series of levers you have to constantly pull, but there’s no conversion chart for how many night fruits equal a sprinkle of footstep coconut. So you’ll have to stay near a good supply of witch food and throw different ones until nearby penises are the desired distance from your cervix.

If you accidentally put too many names in your night fruit, you might find yourself with too many lovers. Luckily, Gilly has a solution. Spell #54, “A spell to choose between two (or more!) lovers,” explains how you put their names on beans and then draw them out of a hat. I don’t have a mean comment. I genuinely feel sorry for this woman deciding on her sex partners by drawing beans out of a hat who also thinks it makes her a wizard. And I suddenly realized why my mother’s chili had the names of all my middle school teachers.

This seems like it should work.


Now that you have an arsenal of spells to attract and unattract lovers, get infinite money, and win every court case, you should be ready to party. Luckily, Chapter Five is literally called How to Party. And it fucking rules. Gilly might not know how to do sorcery or write a book, but she is pretty sure she knows how to party.

Yeah! Wrap up those hogs and let’s party, boys! It’s the perfect ending to a book about a horny Ditch Witch on an imaginary dick rampage. Anything super fucking weird left to add, Gilly?

H-holy shit, Gilly. I was kidding.
