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).

The Watcher's Shroud
And let no eye see him, that the truth may find him unfettered.
Chaudhry recites a prayer, invoking Allah to seek protection and safety. At the end of the prayer, nothing overt changes - however, he becomes unusually difficult to notice. He is not invisible, nor is he cloaked in shadows or even blurry: he simply adopts the aspect of a small detail in a magic eye puzzle or a where's Waldo picture. The composition of the world around him becomes much more eye catching, much more alluring to the senses, such that he simply blends into it as an unremarkable component of the greater whole.
