Rapture gets rescheduled by South African prophet

South African doomsday enthusiast and part-time preacher Joshua Mhlakela has once again shuffled the celestial calendar, claiming the “Rapture” is now pencilled in for early October. This comes after his original divine RSVP for 23 or 24 September, which, rather embarrassingly, didn’t go off.

Speaking on the Centtwinz TV YouTube channel, Mhlakela bravely addressed the minor inconvenience of the world not ending, confidently announcing that it was all a mix-up between calendars. Jesus is apparently a Julian calendar guy, not a fan of the more widely used Gregorian one.

“The 7th and 8th of October is the real Feast of the Trumpets. I’m a billion per cent sure,” he declared, with the same level of certainty one might reserve for misplacing their car keys.

Mhlakela explained that after a spiritual debrief with the Almighty, he was told: “Days from now, I will Rapture my church.” Based on his hotline to heaven, the new deadline for Earth’s expiration is 7 or 8 October. No need to cancel your weekend plans just yet.

Justifying why his original divine heads-up didn’t quite match reality, Mhlakela said: “That’s why it didn't make sense to me why the Rapture never took place.” He also encouraged his followers to “keep the lamp burning” and to not let “the fire of faith in you go out,” presumably so they can see what doesn’t happen next.

Meanwhile, Afrikaner gospel singer and part-time prophet Danie Botha issued a heartfelt apology to his fans after hitching his theological credibility to Mhlakela’s failed cosmic Uber ride.

“I am very, very sorry,” said Botha, adding he was “disappointed and heartbroken” and, more tragically, financially lighter. Still, ever the optimist, he claimed there were still “signs of the ‘end times’” even if they remain on backorder.

He’s since gone radio silent on social media, presumably waiting for the next revelation or perhaps just a decent Wi-Fi signal from the God.

Spectral Evidence conference organiser tells Palestinians to eat each other

Wiccan warlock Christian Day [pictured] has caused disgust and outrage after telling starving Palestinians to turn cannibal. The twisted occultist made the shocking comment on Facebook after someone posted: “Palestinian kids are out of food and the world is doing nothing.” Day sneered back: “They can always dine on one another. I’m surprised they haven’t eaten the hostages yet.” Day is already notorious. He was shunned by a large number of covens who felt that the world needed to be protected from his antics. These range from trolling to nasty, abusive posts Despite being cast out, Day continues to flog his Spectral Evidence convention, an online occult jamboree boasting 75 lectures. Day is alleged to have doxed fellow pagans, handing their names and addresses to a far-right Christian church. Though he hurriedly deleted the details, the damage was done, and extremists were effectively given a hit list. Critics say he is courting controversy...

Witch Queen backs “Abusive Priest” as fury erupts in Wiccan circles

Co-founder of Alexandrian Witchcraft and Witch Queen Maxine Sanders has thrown petrol on an already blazing row in the occult world after publicly defending Christian Day, a notorious witch with a rap sheet of scandals longer than most people’s Book of Shadows . Day, who runs the online Spectral Evidence shin-dig, has already hit headlines for all the wrong reasons. Most recently , he suggested Palestinians should be “eating their children” and has been dragged through court accused of elder abuse; he has also been slammed for stalking, racism and general nastiness. Yet instead of keeping her distance, Sanders shocked many by leaping to his defence in a Facebook post, even mocking one of his accusers and brushing the whole saga off as little more than community drama. She wrote a lengthy post calling the criticism “spectacle dressed up as accountability.” She singled out one of Day’s alleged victims, using the mocking nickname “Spikey,” and accused him of hypocris...

Occult book boss nicked my sigils

NOTED Golden Dawn scholar Olen Rush has accused Kerubim Press chief Dean Wilson [AKA Frater Yechidah] of stealing his research on tarot sigils and trying to pass it off as his own mystical revelation. Rush, author of A Short Treatise on the Sigils of the Scales , claims Wilson half inched his documented work on how Golden Dawn “King” and “Queen” court cards combine to form “Prince Sigils”. Rush insists the material, first published in 2010, was later dressed up by Wilson as if it had been spiritually revealed to him. Rush says the proof lies in old blog posts and emails from 2012 where Wilson not only praised his book but asked permission to link to it. He accuses Wilson of now denying ever having read the work while presenting its core ideas as his own. “He had the audacity to suggest we compare findings when he had already borrowed mine,” Rush said. The sigils are an obscure part of the Golden Dawn tradition, and Rush is the expert. Golden Dawn insiders note that Rush’s ...
