The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Rusalka's Unyielding Flow
The Eternal Current's Fortitude
Maggie's pact with Rusalka, the Grandmother Waterfall, infuses her mind with the resilience and patience of water eroding mountains. This ancient spirit grants Maggie an impenetrable psyche, deflecting supernatural assaults on her consciousness. Like water conforming yet retaining its essence, Maggie's thoughts remain fluid but unassailable: mental attacks and possession attempts are foiled and redirected and the old spirit confers focus and serenity. Rusalka's blessing ensures that while the world changes, Maggie's core self remains constant, protected by the Grandmother Waterfall's eternal flow.

Psychological Identity
Get out of my head.
Harold grinds his teeth and focuses his mind inward, finding the outside presence tampering with his thoughts. Then, he simply removes it.
Some philosophers argue that your personal identity is based upon your mind, not your body or soul. Subscribers to this idea have no concern for their body or some sort of post-physical soul being destroyed. Instead, they are concerned only with continuing their stream of thought and preventing it from being tampered. Protecting your body from harm is just a means to a end, a means towards protecting ones mind from deteriorating.
