This was supposed to be my second ritual. I got the tickets for Christmas. That's not the secret. I was heartbroken over its cancellation for the weather. That's not the secret. Certain people in the fandom are embarrassing me by their puerile reactions to the tour getting cut short because shipping equipment is expensive. That's still not the secret.

The secret is my theory that there's some greater force at play, that's preventing Tabasco Fart [jokey nickname for Tobias Forge] and his band from performing in Upstate South Carolina. Between Simpsonville years ago and now Greenville (Charlotte and Knoxville got a raw deal too), I'm convinced something is at play keeping Ghost from going upstate. They've played Charleston and Myrtle Beach just fine over the years, but the 864 just doesn't jive with Papa, I guess.

Dumb secret is dumb, I know.

Not so much a comment on this secret but a question for Ghost fans: are they actually practicing satanists? Under any definition of the word (theistic or nontheistic). The use of "ritual" made me wonder if they actually are or just use the aesthetic and jargon. Google is giving me non-answers.

Tobias Forge as far as I know has said that he's not an atheist, but is definitely not Christian. Possibly theistic Luciferian (as opposed to Satanist, which is a branch off from atheism), but otherwise I'm not 100% sure. He's spoken about being driven "into the arms of the devil" from religious abuse when he was young.

Sodo (Per Eriksson) is an avowed Left Hand practitioner, but I'm not sure precisely what kind of path he's on.

I know previous Ghouls have absolutely partaken in occult practices, and some still do.

As far as everyone else, fuck if I know.

As far as I'm aware, no; I would characterize it as a visual/audio aesthetic. "Ritual" as a term for "concert" also has its roots in their debut album and the metatexual lore around it, and in the time since then, their music has gotten much less satanic and they're moving away from the evolving lore model. But it is clear that satanism's philosophy of anti-authoritarianism, etc, is something that resonates with them and is reflected in their music.
