Symbols and Significant DatesRitual Abuse, Ritual Crime
and HealingPlease send any dates and symbols not listed below to rahome@ra-info.org
This page summarizes significant symbols and dates used by cults and various destructive groups. Each group is different and may celebrate different sets of holidays, placing emphasis on different days. For most survivors, the worst symbols and dates are those listed below. Full and new moons are also significant, particularly so if they fall on any of the main holidays or the survivor's birthday.
Please remember that abusive groups steal, pervert and mock the holidays of legitimate religions. This does not mean that all people who observe these holidays are abusive. It is not their fault that abusive groups choose to defile their sacred days.
