Descent to Paradise (ritual)

The Descent to Paradise is an esoteric ritual created by the Bishops of the Styx, an illusive theistic Satanist cult that existed on the East Coast of the United States until around 1999. It is most infamous for both its contents and its invocation in the 1989 "Hell's Staircase" Incident that occurred on the property of the Lakeview Inn & Resort in Cedarcrest, Atkins County, New York.
