Vladimire Putin and His Alleged Occult Practices

Not sure if this is paranormal discussion or politicians and people.
I'm going with paranormal because it involves the occult whereas
politicians and people doesn't have that twist ...

These stories may be true.
They remind me of Hitler and his obsession with the occult.
Then again .. they may be just rumor.

Considering how murderous Putin is and how he is lying to his entire country,
and how death surrounds him, death of political opponents and death
of hundreds of thousands of people in an invasion of Ukraine ...
I"m going with that these stories have an air of truth about them. Hitler-esque.

Putin puts himself forward as a living saint of the Russian Orthodox Church,
but it may be that he's partaking of the occult on the side.

Putin, said to be fascinated with occult and pagan rituals, allegedly asked for blessing over nuclear weapons. He allegedly sought the advice of mystics before launching the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. He's gone to Tuva to take part in pagan rituals. It is said that he sought shamans' blessings for the use of nuclear weapons because he was afraid of "angering the spirits". He has also been interested in reincarnation

Vladimire Putin and His Occult Practices

Vladimir Putin allegedly met shamans during his recent trips to Siberia and Mongolia to seek their blessing for the use of nuclear weapons, according to Russian opposition figures.

The Russian president is well known for performing religious orthodoxy, casting himself as a defender of Christianity around the world. The former KGB officer is also reportedly extremely superstitious, known for refusing to publicly say the name of the deceased opposition leader Alexei Navalny. He is also said to be interested in paganism, allegedly taking regular baths in an extract from the blood of severed deer antlers in the belief that it has rejuvenating powers.

But this month Putin travelled to Mongolia, his first visit to a member state of the International Criminal Court since it issued a warrant for his arrest last year. En route he stopped in the Tuva region of Siberia, "ostensibly to give a lesson in patriotism to schoolchildren", said The Times. According to Mikhail Zygar, founder of opposition television channel TV Dozhd (which is banned in Russia), Putin's real reason for the "risky trip" was to consult shamans – allegedly to seek their blessing for the use of nuclear weapons.

LOTS MORE TO THIS STORY AT THE LINK

But wait ... there's MORE ...

A shaman in Russia said Putin is possessed and promised to exorcise the demons from Putin. Instead of just ignoring him, Putin had him arrested and the man is being tortured with electric "therapy" and other things in a mental health hospital. Putin is afraid of the shaman exorcist.

Why Putin Fears Shamans Exorcism


Putin is Afraid of Western Psychic Attacks

Pseudoscience and mysticism are common among the Moscow elite

There are plenty of reasons these days to wonder if Russian President Vladimir Putin and his cronies are off their rockers. But a recently leaked memo from the Kremlin reveals that those in charge of the Russian government are farther down the rabbit hole than most of us realized.

The memo, published by the Insider, a Russian news outlet in exile, outlines how the Russian Federal Guard Service (FSO), which protects high-ranking officials such as Putin, would handle the invasion of Ukraine — or any other war — spilling over onto the country’s own soil. It focuses on psychological preparedness, ensuring that FSO officers would have the “moral and psychological support” needed to resist what the memo calls a potential “massive ideological attack.” But the Russians aren’t simply worried about the usual wartime propaganda, like sneaky radio broadcasts or underground newspapers. Instead, the Kremlin is mounting preparations for what it calls the “psychological infection of personnel” by an enemy who would manipulate them through hypnosis—as well as through unknown mystical and psychic powers. The memo warns of “psi-generators” and “hypnotic abilities” used by foreign personnel.

Belief in mystic powers is relatively common in Russia
20 percent of Russians have visited a psycic.
60 percent believe in some form of magic.

Such fears may be enforced at the top. It’s long been rumored that Russian leaders, including Putin, believe in mysticism, astrology, numerology, and psychics—as well as a conviction that their rule over a greater Russia is predestined. As far back as 1988, the New York Times reported that “[h]oroscopes, folk medicine, psychic healing and all manner of mysticism occupy a prominent place in Soviet society, part faith, part fad, but no joke.”

Putins Superstitious Beliefs

The president is also thought to have been unnerved by Alexander Gabyshev, a wandering shaman who made headlines in 2019 for embarking on a quest to “drive the evil spirit of Putin from the Kremlin”, before later being sentenced to enforced treatment in a Russian psychiatric institution.

“While a Western public may find the shaman’s exorcism quest funny,” The Washington Times reported at the time, “Mr. Putin does not.”

"If you can be made to believe in absurdities, you can be made to commit atrocities".



"They're eating the dogs!"


Hmmmm!




To further clarify, for those who may be otherwise "triggered":


Before we rush to denigrate and disparage what we view as the gullibility of "others" (ie. Putin's supposed belief in mysticism), we should consider, long and hard, those thing we, ourselves, are willing to belive,


And what the consequences of such beliefs might lead us to do.

It's more like NW0 projecting...

Sometimes I try to see the US from a foreign country's eyes and I can't helpp but notice the similarities here.

Nancy Reagan was rumored to consult astrologers every day on behalf of her husband, going so far as to urge him to cancel public apperances on 'bad' days.

Citizens of Iraq considered Bush a murderous POTUS. Many countries see all US presidents as war mongering murderers.

he stopped in the Tuva region of Siberia, "ostensibly to give a lesson in patriotism to schoolchildren"

Reminds me of all the threads here on ATS about the US school system using propaganda on our own children.

We call mass illegal immigration 'humanitarian'. We call ending pregnancies-even at full term 'my body, my choice'. There's even a push to normalize pedophilia....and we call it 'freedom'.

It just strikes me as odd that we're all so willing to believe anything evil about our perceived enemies while justifying our government as always being the good guys, with the welfare of the entire world as our number one objective.

What it boils down to is some countries have a different perspective, which doesn't make them enheriently evil, IMO. If the US had sanctioned Russia's invasion of Ukrain instead of the other way around we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

The FP source seems most credible:

Not to worry, though. The memo laid out how the FSO plans to avert this kind of psychic assault. Tactics include psychically strengthening officers by telling them stories about the bravery and heroism of their colleagues. Another means of counteracting psychological infection involves giving officers tours of the FSO Hall of Fame and History and visits to Moscow’s Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan—presumably to pray the devil away. There will also be a kind of buddy system: “It is necessary to attach the most politically savvy officers of the FSO to the least stable,” the memo reads. Or, as a precaution, it may be necessary to commit psychologically vulnerable officers who suffer “neuropsychiatric instability” to a hospital in these mysteriously perilous times.

Typical indoctrination.

It just seems like typical war stuff: "God is with us fighting against Satan and his human host." "We are good. They are bad."

Military officers may question the validity of such an assertion, especially while themselves committing atrocity. Takes a lot of indoctrination to keep morale up. There are always a percentage of sociopaths who don't care about morality. They don't even need to be indoctrinated.

It doesn't matter if the alleged supernatural stuff is true or not.

Putin is clearly doing things in the secular that are are strongly indicative of his moral compromises and willingness to do evil to others.

It looks like the blessings and rituals didn't work for the Satan 2.

I think Putin is an Evil Genius and that's not Good for the US and other Nations.
as far as this Country is concerned i expect a Split into 2 Nations
Not Unlike the North and South.
Maybe Years in the Making but at the rate we are going it has to happen at some point in time.

What?!!?!

It's more like NW0 projecting...

The West and East are merely the same sides on the same coin, it is merely an illusion meant to keep the people in as much useless fights and bloodbaths, this dichotomy is probably one of the most effective tools of the statecraft we have seen in a while, though whilst many dichotomies are inspired by this dichotomy, the conception of "West and East" in the view of a dichotomy is more effective because it uses out-groups and in-groups.

What?!!?!

It's a male virility thing.
Pseudo-scientifically speaking it keeps a man young, strong, and hard.

It is yet to be determined if immortality is a side benefit.

Russians soak up the ‘power’ of Siberian red deer blood

Wwll, there is more than just a kernel of truth to that. Bush and Cheney truly are, and the numbers prove it without question, that they killed 2.71 million Iraqis and when you combine that with the fact that not the slightest bit of evidence was ever found supporting the theory which was used to convince the people to go to war with Iraq and it was later determined that he always knew there were no WOMD, the one and only conclusion that can be taken from that is the absolute fact that Bush and Cheney are the mass murderers of millions. But where it really gets touchy is that they refused to go after Islam, like they absolutely should and Wedtern Civilization itself will only survive any longer if we agree to absolutely snuff out Islam wherever it may be found for our own good as such a hateful, violent, child abuse propagating medieval belief, only ever spread by the sword of the world's perfect and sinless man (as long as you don't count banging babies as something bad). And even if they HAD waged war on Islam, Iraq as well as Turkey are probably the two most secular countries there are, even if their history is an Islamic based one.

So they used spreading democracy to a tortured people who would otherwise, be directed to attack us with weapons of mass destruction at the behest of their leader. And the big uptick of kids who joined the military those days honestly believed what they were doing was good for the world and the future. But they suffered such a heartless and cruel fate. They were knowingly shipped off to be the means thru which those two losers committed their mass murders. And it wasn't until it was too late and they had turned such a prosperous nation, the nation with the best cardiology programs on earth, the nation with a 99% literacy rate, the highest there is, onto a pre third world cesspool of victims just soaking in their defeat.

From here on, there simply HAS to be more scrutiny put on the responsibility of our men and women in uniform to be deployed. They must demand tangible proof from now on because they left as heroes and returned as unwitting killers. And they will do it again if we are not careful. The biggest shame is that Bush and Cheney haven't been executed like the international rules of war demand they be millions of times over and the fact they return to their mansions at night and sleep in peace is unacceptable. I feel the exact same fate is warranted for those who pushed the joke that is COVID, but one thing at a time I guess.

Yeah, his rise to power,the immorality and the evil he's commiting reminds of the 'Omen 3' movie. Which was about the rise of the Anti-Christ to power.

Thessalonians 2:1–12

” He will come at a time of a general apostasy, deceive people with signs and wonders, sit in the temple of God, and claim to be God himself. Finally, he will be defeated by Jesus, who will destroy him by “the spirit of his mouth” and “the brightness of his coming”

I hadn't read much about the weirder side of Putin other than his interest in male ballet dancers. This has opened a very weird rabbit hole, from what I've read so far, Putin does seem to also fear being physically attacked by the west?
I also found an interesting article.

Apparently, everyone has noticed that Putin spends all his vacations in the Altai, mainly in the Republic of Tuva. What irresistibly draws him there, especially together with the Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu – an ethnic Buryat and a descendant of the shamanic family? Everything is simple. Putin is obsessed with three things: absolute power, immortality and security. From these things search of Shambhala comes from, as well as research of a “genetic correction” of man, and recourse to esoteric and even occult practices of “energy protection”.
We will give the floor to Putin himself and his interlocutors.

All sorts of scientists and political scientists do their best to please the President of the Russian Federation, regularly throwing him evidence that the Altai is the birthplace of all great civilizations. Russian researchers claim that Putin became interested in Altai mysticism in 2014: “The president has already visited many sacred places, and when the war broke out and unrest broke out, he found a point of strength in the Altai. If so, it is quite logical. According to the Altai Bilyk (this is an ancient root of Russian folk wisdom), when change begins and unrest arises, the ruler must return to the source of the river of life. He is actively told that the Altai is the common root of the Slavs and the Turks, and that this “place of power” may be the assembly point of Russia

The Russian Orthodox Church, no matter how hard it tried, could not become a “monopolist in the supply” of strong energy to its immortal president. The coronavirus pandemic seems to be able to bury the ROC’s image as the most powerful “provider of grace.” This is logical: how can the church ensure Putin’s sacred total power if it has failed to protect its own priests and bishops from coronavirus death. Most likely, this will directly reduce the interest of the Russian leadership in Orthodoxy as such.

You really do have to laugh! Well chuckle lol. Putin dabbling in Mysticism the occult and supernatural. As if it’s normal to believe in Christianity and all the mysticism and supernatural that’s involved. Then there’s Islam yet another belief system based on mysticism and supernatural. What a world we live in
