This page lists religious and social holidays throughout the world. Many
of these holidays are also celebrated - and perverted - by cults.
Each group is different and may celebrate different sets of holidays,
placing emphasis on different days. For most survivors, the worst days
are the holidays listed below, as well as their own birthday. Full and new
moons are also significant, particularly so if they fall on any of the main
holidays or the survivor's birthday.
Some groups also celebrate (or pervert for the members' "benefit") Thanksgiving,
Mother's and Father's day, the 4th of July (in U.S.), Valentine's Day, and
other secular and regional holidays. Often, just having a day off is an
excuse to do a ritual.
Satanic groups have their own holidays (western versions are below) and
they usually also use the holidays of the religions they are countering
and perverting.
The most popular (for U.S. and Western Europe) are Pagan (Western European)
and Catholic/Christian.

Birthdays
The survivor's birthday is often the very worst day of the year, especially
at ages that are multiples of 3 or 7. Ages 24, 33, and 49 are also bad,
with 33 often the worst.
The birthday of the survivor's mother and father, or of important people
in the cult are also significant, as are death anniversaries, wedding anniversaries
(of parents or ones own), and baptism (established religion and cult.)
Symbols
Triggering items and symbols vary a lot; what is an everyday or harmless
object for one survivor can send another into a panic. What follows is a
representative list; the items and symbols used by cults to condition their
victims is endless.
Evil eye, horned/hooded man, pentacle (particularly significant), pentagram,
inverted cross, swastika, moon, pitchfork, ax inverted, cloven hoof, goat's
head. The number 666 (or 66). Numbers in multiples of 3, especially 6.
Numbers with a lot of 6's or 7's in them (or 3's or 9's, sometimes 5's).
Numbers that add up to (via numerology) 3, 6, 7, 9.
The Pyramid with eye in it (like on dollar bill). Crucifix, cross, the
Pope. Corn dolls. Robes (especially black ones). Tulips. 6-pointed star
(star of David). Reciting and/or reading numbers, letters, or words backwards.
Tree of Life (from Kabala). Knives, guns, needles, bon fires, S&M paraphernalia.
Anything from Christianity. Anything from Freemasonry and the Illuminati.
Anything from Paganism. Popular culture representations of witches, ghosts,
goblins, Halloween characters/decorations, Satan, etc. Anything from the
occult (tarot cards, numerology, etc) or the supernatural (vampires, werewolves,
etc). Cemeteries, funerals, dead bodies, coffins (or any suggestion of
sexual activity with or around the above). Nazi symbols.
For some survivors, their abusers used or dressed like children's characters
such as Mickey Mouse, Santa Claus, clowns, TV or cartoon characters, etc.
(generally using the ones popular when the survivor was a child).
Books: Any on Witchcraft, Majick, Middle Ages & Paganism
(this is when Satanism broke off from Paganism and Christianity), Kabala,
Book of the Dead.
