Others admitted that although it was the first time they had heard of the practice, it seemed plausible because of the famous scripture in the bible. Mark 5 verses 11-13, which describes how Jesus cast out the spirits called Legion from a man into a swine. It goes: And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. 11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. 12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. Seventh Day Adventists abstain from the eating of pig meat as instructed by the bible for men not to eat swines flesh or touch the carcass of a dead hog.
Hog riding demonic, says Shango Still, Prince Shango, a well-known spiritual leader, believes that these practices are demonic and carry a terrible spiritual penalty. I have read that this practice is done in Mexico. In this case, young men have sex with a pig and once they ejaculate, they then drown the pig because they feel that the pig is now possessed by the devil. They ride the hog because it can make them wealthy but everything you do carries a reaction and if it doesnt affect them, it will affect their families later on, Prince Shango said.
He, however, said that the rumour about the monkey was false. It was a witch doctor who wore a monkey suit. These voodoo rituals have strong sexual connections, and these witch doctors believe that if they have sex with the women, they can get them to do anything they want, he explained. He pointed to the existence of what he called an incubus, a dangerous sexual demon. According to Internet sites, an incubus (plural incubi) is a demon in male form which is supposed to lay upon sleepers, especially women, in order to have sexual intercourse with them, according to a number of mythological and legendary traditions. Its female counterpart is the succubus. An incubus may pursue sexual relations with a woman in order to father a child, and may be identified by its unnaturally cold penis.
Prince Shango also shot down theories that cults were involved in the abduction of children. There are just criminals out there committing terrible acts. They see people gal pickney and caan leave dem alone, it has nothing to do with the occult, he said.
