Did the Epstein Files Reveal an Occult Connection? We Investigated

Since the DOJ released 3.5 million pages of Epstein documents on January 30, the internet has been asking one question louder than all the others.

Was there an occult dimension to this?

Not just trafficking. Not just exploitation. Something darker. Something ritualistic. The temple on Little St. James with its blue-and-white stripes and golden dome. The infant toys in the Amazon orders. The flight logs. The names. People want to know if this was organized Satanic evil — coordinated, ceremonial, and deliberate.

We took the question seriously. We investigated it. And we owe you the honest results.

The Scale of What Was Released

First, understand what you’re dealing with. The Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405) forced the DOJ to produce files from its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. What came out is staggering:

7,545 emails from Epstein’s personal inbox (jeevacation@gmail.com)
4,292 flights carrying 3,302 documented passengers between New York, Palm Beach, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Paris, and Boston
7,050 photos with facial recognition tagging
767,695 scanned document pages across 12 data sets
1,006 Amazon orders delivered to his Upper East Side Manhattan townhouse
384 3D property reconstructions from DOJ photographs
2,000 videos and 180,000 images
22 parts of FBI investigation records in the FBI Vault

This is the largest document dump in modern criminal justice history. The email contacts alone read like a summit roster: Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Ehud Barak, Larry Summers, Noam Chomsky, Alan Dershowitz, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, Deepak Chopra, Ken Starr, Jean Luc Brunel. The photos identify Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Mick Jagger, Donald Trump, Woody Allen, Richard Branson.

As of February 6, all 535 members of Congress are now authorized to view unredacted files in a DOJ reading room.

So the documents are real. The scale is real. The question is what they tell us — and what they don’t.

Our Methodology

We didn’t just browse headlines. We ran a systematic investigation using the resources available to us.

The Savage Mercies Research Library. We queried our own theological research library — 8,099 indexed books. We ran 27 targeted queries across terms including “satanic ritual abuse,” “Molech child sacrifice,” “occult elite,” “blood ritual sacrifice,” “Epstein pedophile,” “adrenochrome,” “Bohemian Grove,” “Crowley Thelema,” “sex magick,” “blackmail kompromat,” “Franklin coverup,” “Savile abuse,” and more.

This isn’t casual Googling. This is a thoroughly indexed database containing peer-reviewed biblical scholarship, primary Masonic texts (Albert Pike, Albert Mackey), firsthand occult testimony (William Schnoebelen), cultural analysis (Jay Dyer’s Esoteric Hollywood volumes), academic sociology (G. William Domhoff), media studies (Yochai Benkler), Gnostic primary sources (Bentley Layton), intelligence histories (Craig Unger, James Bamford), and Reformed theological commentaries (MacArthur, Walvoord, Waltke, Beeke).

The Primary Sources. We cross-referenced our library findings against the actual Epstein releases: the DOJ disclosures at justice.gov/epstein, the FBI Vault files (22 parts), the Jmail email archive, JFlights passenger manifests, Jamazon purchase records, JDrive document repository, JPhotos image archive, and JVR property reconstructions. We also reviewed the DocETL AI-analyzed email dataset (2,322 emails with structured metadata).

The Legal Record. We reviewed court testimony from Giuffre v. Maxwell (4,553 unsealed pages), the Maxwell trial (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, S.D.N.Y.), victim impact statements from Courtney Wild and others, and the 2008 non-prosecution agreement records.

We went looking for the truth. Here’s what we found.

What We Found: The Documented Facts

The documents are horrifying. Let’s be clear about that.

Virginia Giuffre testified she was recruited at age 16 from Mar-a-Lago and trafficked to powerful men by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Courtney Wild testified abuse began at age 14 in Palm Beach. At the Maxwell trial, four women testified — “Jane,” abused starting at 14; “Carolyn,” who went to Epstein’s Palm Beach home “hundreds of times” starting at 14; Annie Farmer; and “Kate.” Maxwell was convicted on five of six felony counts in December 2021.

The property reconstructions of 9 East 71st Street reveal an “Exam Room” in a private residence. Multiple “Massage Rooms.” A “Leopard Bedroom.” A “Pink Bedroom.” This is clinical abuse infrastructure.

The Amazon orders include a Manhattan Toy Skwish Classic and a Kidoozie Musical Stack & Learn Rainbow — infant and toddler toys, ages 6-24 months — delivered to a man with no known children. An oxygen concentrator was ordered five weeks before his death.

The flight logs document 4,292 flights with detailed passenger manifests. Reid Hoffman flew from St. Thomas to Boston with Epstein. Woody Allen and “[ANONYMOUS FEMALE]” flew to Paris. Bill Gates flew from Teterboro to Palm Beach.

The temple on Little St. James — the blue-and-white striped building with the golden dome — was submitted to USVI authorities as plans for a “music pavilion.” The actual structure bore little resemblance to those plans. FBI raid drone footage showed overturned furniture inside. Agents removed boxes and computer equipment. Recently released emails confirm Epstein’s persistent interest in tunnel construction beneath the island.

None of this is conspiracy. This is documented. This is in the court records, the DOJ releases, the FBI files. This is what the powerful did in the dark, now dragged into the light.

What We Found: The Occult Cross-Reference

Now for the harder question. We searched our entire library for direct evidence linking Epstein to occult practices. Here’s what the 709,284 document chunks returned.

Jay Dyer’s Esoteric Hollywood volumes (our highest-relevance source for elite occultism) document historical patterns connecting elite abuse, intelligence operations, and occult practices. Dyer traces the Savile network in the UK, the Franklin scandal in Nebraska, Bohemian Grove’s ceremonies, the intelligence-occult connection through Aleister Crowley and British intelligence (MI5/MI6), and sexual blackmail as a power mechanism from Meyer Lansky through J. Edgar Hoover. These are real patterns with documented historical roots.

William Schnoebelen’s firsthand testimony in Blood On The Doorposts, Lucifer Dethroned, and Wicca: Satan’s Little White Lie documents specific Satanic Ritual Abuse elements: forced drug use, ritual dates tied to birthdays, personality splitting, blood rituals, and sexual abuse of children within occult contexts. This is single-source personal testimony from a self-described former Satanist, Wiccan, and Mason. It’s internally consistent across multiple books. It lacks independent corroboration.

Albert Pike’s Morals and Dogma contains explicit esoteric theology — the All-Seeing Eye as the Sun in Masonic lodges, the obelisk as phallic symbol, and the passage on Lucifer as “Light-bearer” that has fueled two centuries of controversy.

G. William Domhoff’s Who Rules America? — a peer-reviewed academic sociology text — documents the Bohemian Club’s Cremation of Care ceremony in detail: 2,700 acres, a 40-foot hollow concrete Owl Shrine, robed participants, an effigy of “Dull Care” burned at the foot of the owl, 29-30% of the top 800 corporations represented through members or guests. This is not conspiracy theory. This is UC Santa Cruz sociology.

The Anchor Bible Dictionary and Cambridge Ancient History confirm that child sacrifice at Carthage is archaeological fact — an estimated 20,000 urns containing cremated remains of children, the same MLK consonants that appear in the biblical term Molech inscribed on funerary stelae. This practice ran for roughly 600 years.

But here is the critical finding.

Zero direct Epstein-occult connection exists in any primary source we examined.

No victim — not Giuffre, not Wild, not “Jane,” not “Carolyn,” not Annie Farmer — describes ritualistic practices, occult ceremonies, or Satanic worship in their testimony. The abuse they describe is sexual exploitation and trafficking. It is monstrous. It is not ritualistic.

We searched for “adrenochrome” across all 709,284 document chunks. Zero results.

The temple on Little St. James has been photographed but never explained in any legal testimony. No victim has described what happened inside it. The recently released emails describe tunnel construction for a “Woodwork shop, Paint shop, Landscaping equipment.” An architecture firm confirmed it was contracted to build a subterranean screening room. The purpose remains disputed, but no evidence points to ritual use.

The “Spirit Cooking” narrative — which some have tried to link to Epstein-adjacent circles — was investigated in Yochai Benkler’s Network Propaganda. The actual email was an invitation from Marina Abramovic to Tony Podesta for a Kickstarter fundraiser dinner. John Podesta did not attend. Hillary Clinton was not in the email chain. The dinner involved making soup. The art piece it references is deliberately provocative performance art, not a Satanic ritual.

The Honest Assessment

Let me lay it out plainly.

What IS proven:

Elite trafficking networks operating with impunity for decades (Epstein, NXIVM, Savile, Dutroux, the Catholic Church at institutional scale)
Systematic institutional cover-up to protect perpetrators (the 2008 non-prosecution agreement, BBC’s silence on Savile, 114 missing documents from the UK Home Office, the Belgian parliamentary inquiry)
Quasi-ritualistic elite gatherings with esoteric symbolism (Bohemian Grove’s Cremation of Care, Skull and Bones initiations involving mock throat-cutting and coffin rituals)
Historical intelligence-occult connections (Crowley and MI5/MI6, MK Ultra, Jack Parsons bridging occultism and the defense industry)
Sexual blackmail as a mechanism of power and control across multiple documented cases
Ancient child sacrifice confirmed by archaeology at Carthage and attested in Scripture

What is NOT proven:

A coordinated global Satanic network directing these operations
Occult intent behind Epstein’s activities specifically
Ritualistic practices on Little St. James Island
Elite cannibalism or adrenochrome harvesting
Satanic ritual abuse as described in the conspiracy theories of the 1980s-90s (law enforcement investigations largely failed to find corroborating evidence, as acknowledged even in the annotated Satanic Bible)

The gap between pattern and proof matters. The patterns are real and disturbing. But the leap from “powerful people do terrible things and protect each other” to “coordinated global Satanic conspiracy” requires evidence that does not currently exist in the public record.

And here’s the thing that should bother you most: the documented evil is horrific enough without adding unverifiable claims.

Adding conspiracy actually weakens the real story. When you attach “Satanic rituals” or “adrenochrome harvesting” to the Epstein case, you hand skeptics an easy way to dismiss the entire thing. “Oh, that’s just conspiracy stuff.” And then the documented trafficking of 14-year-old girls gets lumped in with claims nobody can verify. The victims lose. Again.

The Biblical Framework

So where does this leave us as Christians?

Exactly where Paul put us two thousand years ago.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

You do not need to prove Satanic rituals to recognize Satanic influence.

The biblical pattern is consistent and clear. Molech worship was child sacrifice for the purpose of power and prosperity — parents burning their children to secure favor from a deity who promised success. The Valley of Hinnom, where it happened, became so synonymous with evil that its name — Gehenna — became the word Jesus used for hell.

Babylon, in both Testaments, represents systemic evil protected by institutions. Revelation 18 describes a commercial empire that traded in “bodies and souls of men” (Revelation 18:13). The merchants who profited from Babylon weep at its fall — not because of the human cost, but because their revenue stream is gone.

The Pharisees were the religious and political elite of Jesus’ day, and their primary motivation was protecting their position at any cost. “If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation” (John 11:48). They knew who Jesus was. They killed Him anyway. Because power.

The Epstein case maps onto every one of these patterns without needing a single additional conspiracy.

Wealth purchased access. Access purchased silence. Silence purchased impunity. And when the system finally cracked, the man at the center died in federal custody while the cameras malfunctioned.

“And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.” (John 3:19)

Romans 1:28-32 describes a downward spiral that begins with the suppression of truth and ends with people who are “foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless” — and who not only practice evil but “give approval to those who practice” it. That is the documented pattern of every institution that covered for Epstein. They knew. They approved. They participated. They protected.

“Be sure your sin will find you out.” (Numbers 32:23)

It took decades. It took 3.5 million pages. But sin found them out.

What’s Still Coming

We’re not done. The Jamazon archive contains 1,006 orders, and books reveal worldview. We’re analyzing Epstein’s reading patterns — what he bought, when he bought it, what it tells us about how he saw the world. Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy was one of the last books he ordered. That’s worth examining.

We’ll also be tracking the congressional review of unredacted files that began February 9. If new evidence emerges that changes any of our findings above, we’ll report it.

The Bottom Line

The darkness is real. The documents prove it.

You don’t need elaborate conspiracy theories to see the principalities and powers at work in the Epstein case. You need the Bible. You need Ephesians 6. You need eyes to see what Romans 1 describes — a society that suppresses truth, celebrates wickedness, and protects the powerful at the expense of the vulnerable.

The documented facts are damning enough. Honor the victims by sticking to what can be proven. Honor the truth by refusing to add what cannot.

And the Light that exposes it has a name.

“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” (Ephesians 5:11)

You’re in my prayers.
