Bill Schnoebelen: From 33rd Degree Mason to Christian Evangelist
Interview Summary - July 13, 2025
Overview
This explosive interview with Dr. Bill Schnoebelen reveals the inner workings of some of the world's most secretive organizations. As a former 33rd degree Freemason, Satanist, witch, and Mormon elder, Schnoebelen provides unprecedented insight into the spiritual darkness he claims underlies these institutions. His journey from Catholic seminary student to high-level occultist to born-again Christian offers a rare glimpse into the hidden world of secret societies.
Key Revelations and Themes
The Priestly Deception That Started It All
The Seminary Professor's Occult Instruction:
"He took me aside, and he said, if you want to be a priest, in the Catholic Church it's taught... the priest is another Christ. So if you want to be like Christ... you need to do what Christ did. And he went to the east and studied with the gurus in India, he went and studied with the lamas in Tibet, he went to Egypt, and studied with the magicians there. That's how he was able to do. To raise the dead, to walk on water, to do all these miracles. So he says, what you need to do is you need to start studying the occult. And this is a priest telling me this."
The Progression Through Occult Organizations
Entry into Witchcraft:
"I read the book, and she was asserting in the book that witches were not evil. That this was an ancient, pagan, mystery religion. Among other things, she claimed that Jesus was a witch and his 12 apostles were his coven along with their wives... I went there and I got initiated as a witch."
The Druid's Strategic Advice:
"This Eli guy, the Grand Druid down in Arkansas, he gave us two words of advice. First of all, he said if you really want to understand luciferian energy, you need to join the Freemasonic Order. And he himself was a 33rd degree mason... He also told me that if he ever felt like we were in deep spiritual trouble, that I should join the Mormon Church. Because it was a church that had been started by witches, for witches, that we could hang out in and pretend to be nice."
The Dark Reality of Freemasonry
The Disturbing First Degree Ritual:
"They make you take off all your clothes except your undies, They put you in this, like jammies... one knee is bare. And one breast is bare, your left breast... you're blindfolded, and you have a cable around your neck, it's like a velvet blue rope, and you're tied up... and somebody says, 'Mr. Bill Schnoebelen, who has been long in darkness, and now seeks to be brought to light.'"
The Blood Oath:
"At the end you swear. That if I should ever reveal the secrets of an Entered Apprentice Mason, that I swear that I will have my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by the roots and buried in the sands of the sea, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in 24 hours, should I ever knowingly violate this, my Entered Apprentice obligation, so help me God."
The True Nature of Masonry:
"Masonry is a religion. I mean, it has all the qualities... Number one, something that has a belief in some sort of deity. Masonry has that. Number two, it... is expressed in some sort of ritual. And masonry is full of ritual... the third quality is it has a system of some sort of ethics or morality and masonry has that. So masonry is a religion and it's an antichrist religion."
The Hidden Higher Degrees
Beyond the 33rd Degree:
"Beyond what we're, we've just been talking about, over in Europe, there's what's called the Rite of Memphis Mitzrayim, and that is 360 degrees. 360 degrees... I got up to the um, if my memory serves 96th degree... there was a fellow that flew over all the way from Paris, who was the son of Pappas... and he brought me into the 90 97th degree."
The Royal Secret Revealed:
"The royal secret is that you can live forever by sexually vampirizing children. literally. And that's what these people believe. Now again, the vast majority of Masons have no understanding of any of this."
The Spiritual Warfare Aspect
The Energy Harvesting:
"When I was into Satanism, we understood and were taught that Satan draws energy from being worshipped. And when, when these guys, they don't, even if they don't understand it, every time a mason kneels at the altar, And swears an oath, the devil gets energy from that."
The Generational Impact:
"It opens up unholy desires within the men and then because of the way the spiritual world works, that in turn percolates down into their family... So many men that were masons at first it didn't appear a problem. but when their children started hitting puberty, they just started to go in various ways nuts because of this trickle down influence of the Masonic lodge."
The Soul-Selling Ceremony
The Literal Pact with Satan:
"They took me to this park. In Glen Ellyn, Illinois... in the center of the park, there was this like area where they had these weird Egyptian statues. There was like, there literally was an altar. With horns... and they brought out this black book and there were all these names in it and this one supposed high level Satanist kind of officiated and I swore an oath. to Satan, my allegiance to him, that I would serve him for seven years and he would give me everything I wanted."
The Multi-Level Marketing of Evil:
"I was supposed to go out and find seven people to sell their souls to the devil under me, so to speak, sort of like multi level marketing, but for the devil, and I did. I got seven and I feel so bad about this. I've, I've contacted as many of these people as I can find to try and talk them out of it."
The Mormon Connection
The Masonic-Mormon Temple Parallels:
"Joseph Smith, who was the founder of the Mormon Church, in 1844, he was made a Master Mason in Nauvoo, Illinois. And after he was made a Master Mason, he kind of stole most of the Masonic ritual and created this temple ceremony."
The Five Points of Fellowship:
"This is called the five points of fellowship, and this is right out of masonry, and right, right out of witchcraft. With Gardnerian, Alexandrian witchcraft. And masonry and Mormonism all have these five points... foot to foot, knee to knee, hand to back, breast to breast, and mouth to ear."
The Satanic Incantation:
"He whispers to you the secret name of the, um, celestial kingdom... 'It's health in the navel, marrow in the bones, strength in the loins and in the sinews, power in the priesthood, be upon me and my posterity for all generations of time and all eternity.' Now that might sound reasonably benign, except for the fact that it's almost word for word out of the satanic grimoire. It's a satanic incantation."
The Moment of Salvation
The Check That Changed Everything:
"When I got the check back from the bank... someone had written on the check, some lady by the handwriting, I'll be praying for you in Jesus name. And I just scoffed. And the funny thing is... literally, within 24 hours, it was like I was hit with a freight train. I lost all my occult power, and believe me, magical power is real. I lost my job. I got as sick as a dog."
The Comic Book Gospel:
"They show up. At the door, and they sit adoringly at my feet, and they give me these two comic books from Chick Publications... one was called Spellbound, and one was called Angel of Light. And they are about the dangers of the occult, and about how Lucifer is really the god behind all false religions."
The Salvation Experience:
"I got down at the foot of my bed, I knelt, I took off my magic Mormon underwear, because I didn't want any static on the line when I talked to God. And I prayed the prayers in the back of that comic book and I got born again. And that was the beginning of my journey as a true Christian."
The Biblical Confirmation
The Ezekiel 8 Revelation:
"I was led. To go to Ezekiel chapter 8... 'And he brought me to the inner court of the Lord's house, and behold... Between the porch and the altar were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east, and they worshiped the sun toward the east.'... Masonic temples are required to face east. The, the worshipful master is in the east, and he is a symbol of the sun."
Final Warnings
To Witches and Satanists:
"The power they are trying to, um, tap. Is the power of the devil... it doesn't matter what you think you believe the truth with a capital T is out there and Yeshua is the way the truth and the life and if you reject him as most witches and satanists do, then your fate is not good."
To Freemasons:
"The Mason. He might be the nicest person you might imagine, but he's got one, he's knelt at the altar of Baal. He may have one knee on the altar of Christ, and one knee on the altar of Baal, and these two things are going to drift apart... It's very hard for a mate for a Christian Mason to keep his testimony strong."
To Mormons:
"The problem is with the Mormons, you're totally worshipping a false god, you're totally worshipping a false Jesus, you're following a plan of salvation which is absolutely false... the men at the top of the Mormon church are devil worshippers and that spiritual power is percolating downward into you and into your family."
