I guess Finland follows the american trends as usual, so within year, two books been published dealing with 90's satanic panic. One I read, did also go through the american history of phenomena. Curious thing was, that it felt as if book sort of updated the satanic panic phenomena. If it was utterly critical towards badly informed, deeply religious roots of 90's satanic panic, it is far far less critical towards contemporary satanic panic. Back then offense was against christian god and faith, while now the panic revolves around nazi-satanists who's mere existence mocks the current age doctrines of equality and human rights and whatever.
It has been curious since the mainstream satanic milieu is crowded with activist trannies and vegan witches who are appearing in media in positive light, and then there is the evil hidden satanic groups that is target of endless amount of articles, yet nobody really seen or know about them, except, that now its evil that must be opposed. Analysis has been that the 80/90s panic can not happen anymore, because there hardly exists people in Finland who would believe in biblical devil. However, it feels there is indeed other types of fanatical beliefs that make people act like zealots.
