Shadows of the Guru Buster Marta Szabo

Shadows of the Guru Buster Marta Szabo


On Marta Szabo’s blog The Guru Looked Good, she says about herself:
Marta Szabo: “I am a writer of memoir. My husband, Fred Poole, and I run a series of workshops we call Authentic Writing in which people write passionately about their lives. I do almost all of my writing in these workshops. For readers of the Siddha Yoga blog: I was on full-time, live-in staff 1990-2000 in Manhattan, South Fallsburg & Ganeshpuri. ~ ~ ~ During the course of The Guru Looked Good being posted I was contacted once by phone by ashram management, telling me to take down the blog immediately and threatening to take legal action against me if I didn’t follow orders.” (Reference)

When the blog “The Guru Looked Good” first went online, Marta Szabo appeared very needy because she solicited PayPal donations with the following blurb:
Marta Szabo: “It is extremely fulfilling to have you read this writing. Even more so when you let me know that it has been of value to you, and even entertaining. If you have the means and are so moved, you are welcome to make a donation. Your gift will be used to sustain me, my writing and my efforts to support others to write their stories and uncover their own truths. Thank you.”

Fast forward a few years and Szabo’s needy donation request is no longer evident. What is evident, however, is Marta Szabo’s frequent parties and trips (which even included a trip to Paris). How much money did Marta Szabo receive in donations and did anyone fund her book?

Stange enough, Marta Szabo belonged to a fanatic cult before joining the Siddha Yoga movement (the details of which are to be released in another book not yet published) and is currently an ex-devotee of both Swami Muktananda and Gurumayi Chidvilasananda.

On April 20th 2010, Marta Szabo was sent an email asking her what her personal views were regarding ex-cult and/or anti-cult members who profess being worshippers of Shakti (often in the fiercer forms, like Kali or Hecate) and who claim to be occultists, New Agers, psychics, tarot card readers, reiki masters and the like.

Marta Szabo did not answer the email. Why not?

MARTA SZABO, JOAN R. BRIDGES & SHADOW OF THE GURU

Marta Szabo is directly associated with the Shadow of the Guru website and related “anti-cult” documentary. See for yourself:

Shadow of the Guru is the name for an “anti-cult” website and “anti-cult” documentary owned by “CEO” Joan Radha Bridges (a self-professed psychic, reiki master, Goddess and tantra practitioner who is into kinky, sexual, provocative, fetish, lesbian, Goth and Shiva Shakti imagery).

Joan Radha Bridges is also strongly partnered with Jade Sol Luna, a man who is closely allied with satanists, occultists, witches, psychics, tarot card readers and Goth priests. For example, on Jade Sol Luna’s “Masters Of Invocation” CD (View MySpace Page), the tracks are:

  1. BBTN - Intro 3:47

  2. Raven Digitalis - Hades Invocation 4:38

  3. Matthew James - Temple of Sokar 6:43

  4. Helene Delcroix - Call to Lucifer (Latin)2:15

  5. Jade Sol Luna - New Moon Invocation 4:35

  6. Venus Satanas - Invocation to the Infernal Ones 4:37

  7. Kindra RavenMoon - Call to Lilith 3:46

  8. Raven Digitalis - Set Invocation 3:29

  9. Jana - Queen of the Crossroads 3:51

  10. Matthew James - Sokar Invocation 4:06

  11. Helene Delcroix - Call to Lucifer (French)4:06

  12. Kindra RavenMoon - Dark God Invocation 2:06

  13. Jade Sol Luna - The Goat of Passion 3:42

  14. Raven Digitalis - Hades Invocation- Club Mix 4:36

  15. Kindra RavenMoon - Call to Lillith- Club Mix 3:42


On the “Masters Of Invocation” CD, Jade Sol Luna worked with Raven Digitalis, Helene Delcroix, Venus Satanas and Kindra Ravenmoon. Who are these people?

  • Helene Delcroix (View MySpace Page) is a self-professed wiccan, satanist, clairvoyant, psychic, astrologer, tarot card reader, black magician, fortune teller and parapsychologist.

  • Raven Digitalis (View WebSite) is a self-professed witch, pagan priest, wiccan, Goth, author, DJ, artisan, empath, tarot card reader and spiritual counselor who offers divination services, public rituals, handfasting, blessings, guided meditations, healing work, chakra alignment, exorcisms and herbal crafts.

  • Venus Satanas (View WebSite - View Psychic WebSite - View Blog) is a self-professed satanist, wiccan, tarot card reader, seller of satanic ritual items and psychic who claims she can pronounce curses and summon infernal deities.

  • Kindra Ravenmoon (View MySpace - View WebSite) is a satanist, demoness, dark arts alternative model, independent horror film actress, music journalist, musician, writer, Goth and witch.


Joan Radha Bridges is so devoted to Jade Sol Luna’s dark philosophy, she actually hosted a seminar for him in her house in Atlanta and allowed him to worship her Goddess statue there. On Joan Radha Bridges’ MySpace page (which is now set to private), she referred to Jade Sol Luna as her “teacher” and claims to follow the dark path of “La Sera”, which means “The Left Hand of Wicca”. Jade Sol Luna made a CD entitled “La Sera” and his visual depiction for that path is clearly Satanic:


La Sera is based on what Jade Sol Luna calls “Nirrtibhava Tantra” (Nirrti being the Hindu Goddess of death and corruption) that is associated with the fierce Goddess Kalika Devi. Even more disturbing are pictures of Joan Radha Bridges engaged in tantric meditation while holding a human skull in her hands (Pic Link)! Jade Sol Luna also figures prominently on Joan Radha Bridges’ Shadow of the Guru website and associated YouTube trailer. See for yourself:

These are the type of people that Marta Szabo endorses, promotes and associates herself with! Marta Szabo would have us believe that it is wrong to believe in Gurus, but that it is OKAY to believe in and trust “anti-cult” activists like Joan Radha Bridges and Jade Sol Luna who advocate for Satan, Lucifer, Goth, Wicca, tarot, psychics, reiki, astrology, dark magic, left-hand paths, Goddess statues and Goddess cults. Shocking!

Perhaps Marta Szabo can write another book telling us how she was duped again and title it “The Guru Busters Looked Good”.

Shadows of the Guru Buster Daniel Shaw

Shadows of the Guru Buster Daniel Shaw

Factnet.org provided the following public domain information about psychoanalyst and psychotherapist Daniel Shaw (aka “Dan Shaw”):


Dan Shaw, C.S.W.
Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis
850 Seventh Avenue, Suite 906
New York, New York 10019
Tel./ Fax.: (212) 581-6658
152 Main Street, Nyack, New York 10960
Tel.: (845) 548-2561

shawdan@aol.com

www.danielshawlcsw.com

Works with former members of cults and cultic groups, and friends and families of cult members.

His work in this area is connected to theories of malignant or pathological narcissism, and he has a special interest in working with those who have exited or who are exiting from destructive relationships with abusive teachers, partners, and significant others.

He is an allied professional member of the Division of Psychoanalysis (39) of the American Psychological Association; faculty and clinical supervisor at and certified in adult psychoanalysis and psychotherapy by The National Institute for the Psychotherapies (NIP) in New York City; co-chair of the Education Committee of the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy (IARPP).

Read his essay, “Traumatic Abuse in Cults” completely free. (Reference)

Daniel Shaw received his Masters Degree in Social Work from Yeshiva University, New York, in 1996. He was certified as a Psychoanalyst in 2000 after completing the four year training program at The National Institute for the Psychotherapies (NIP), in New York City. Dan Shaw worked as a professional actor before joining the Siddha Yoga movement and is currently an ex-devotee of Gurumayi Chidvilasananda. Daniel Shaw was active in the SYDA movement from 1981 - 1994, taking on the spiritual name of “Sureshwar”. Daniel Shaw is the webmaster and registrant for the leavingsiddhayoga.net domain:


On April 20th 2010, Daniel Shaw was sent an email asking him what his personal views were regarding ex-cult and/or anti-cult members who profess being worshippers of Shakti (often in the fiercer forms, like Kali or Hecate) and who claim to be occultists, New Agers, psychics, tarot card readers, reiki masters and the like.

Daniel Shaw replied the same day but did not answer the questions. Rather, he said, “maybe you could introduce yourself to me and let me know a little about you before I answer your inquiry? It helps to know whom I’m speaking to and what prompts your question.”

Therefore, the following email was sent to Daniel Shaw on April 20th 2010:
Dear Daniel Shaw,

My name is Joe Moreno and I am the webmaster for saisathyasai.com, a website that exposes the lies, deceit and dishonesty of critics of Sathya Sai Baba.

I stumbled upon the shadowoftheguru.com website (and associated YouTube video) and was surprised to find that Barry Pittard (an ex-devotee of Sathya Sai Baba) was dishonestly described as a “Professor”. To Date: Barry Pittard has never divulged any alleged credentials he may possess that would entitle him the status of “Professor”. Barry Pittard allegedly taught at Sathya Sai Baba’s college before it became a prestigious University and he was not required to have credentials to teach English there (the institute was actually a separate entity prior to the creation of the highly recognized and prestigious Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning in 1981). Barry Pittard is the same person who has openly promoted, endorsed and linked to Robert Priddy’s falsified and fraudulent “sexual molestation” libels against me (which falsely and maliciously claim that I was sexually abused by Sathya Sai Baba - I most certainly was not!).

As a result of shadowoftheguru.com’s public endorsement and promotion of a man (i.e., Pittard) who publicly promotes defamatory and libelous information against me and others on the internet, I have decided to write some articles pertaining to the shadowoftheguru.com website, in which you feature prominently.

Cursory research has shown that Joan Radha Bridges is into the sexual aspect of Goth, is a Tarot Card Reader, a self-professed Psychic, a self-professed Reiki practitioner, a “Lover of Hecate”, a Kali worshipper, a practitioner of Tantra, a self-professed Goddess (even taking on one of the names of Hecate as her own) and is into graphic lesbian & sexual and erotic Shiva-Shakti imagery.

Joan Radha Bridges’ husband (Mercer Truett Bridges) actually had his physicians license revoked due to his chemical dependency on fetanyl from 1997 - 2000. After Dr. Bridges’ successfully completed his probation period (with a termination for probation being authorized in December 2000), he (for reasons yet undisclosed) voluntarily surrendered his physicians license in February 2005 (an extreme step that a doctor would not normally take unless there was sufficient cause for him to do so).

Jade Sol Luna is openly associated with Satanists and has made various recordings were Hades, Infernal Gods and Lucifer are invoked in ritualistic chants. Jade Sol Luna is a self-professed psychic, astrologer, follower of Hecate (the Dark Goddess), a preacher of “shadow” paths, a preacher of “left-handed” paths, a preacher of “dark” paths, is an “Avatar Meher Baba” devotee, an admirer of Aghora Baba, an admirer of Ramakrishna, a Wiccan, into Tantra, a person who claims to “energize” malas by using planetary hymns and a person who worshipped Joan Radha Bridges’ Goddess statue in Atlanta.

Therefore, I am naturally intrigued: Why are you affiliating yourself with these people on the shadowoftheguru.com website when you publicly present yourself as a rational, logical and professional voice against cults and cultic beliefs? It would appear that your public views are in conflict with your private ones.

I wonder what the general public will think when they get this public domain information that has been purposely suppressed and omitted on the shadowoftheguru.com website and associated YouTube & Vimeo videos.

Looking forward to your answers.

Sincerely,

Joe Moreno

Needless to say, Daniel Shaw did not reply to this email. Why not?

Shocking!

Despite being a professional in “theories of malignant or pathological narcissism” Daniel Shaw can’t see malignant or pathological narcissim when it’s right there in front of his face. If we are to believe Daniel Shaw, we must believe that “Goddess” Joan Radha Bridges does not suffer from pathological narcissism, but Gurus making that exact claim do.

Now it is understandable why Daniel Shaw did not answer the email. What kind of excuses and justifications can we expect from Dan Shaw, LCSW? Updates will be forthcoming.

Shadows of the Guru Buster Joan Radha Bridges

Shadows of the Guru Buster Joan Radha Bridges

Joan Radha Bridges
Joan ‘Radha’ Bridges is the “CEO”, producer and owner of JoanRadha Inc., a “Motion Pictures and Film industry”. Joan Radha Bridges is the executive producer of an educational “Cult Abuse Documentary Film Series, encompassing multiple intimate interviews of prominent cult abuse survivors.” Joan Radha Bridges is the owner of the shadowoftheguru.com domain and producer of the “anti-cult” film documentary “Shadow of the Guru”.

Joan Radha Bridges is an ex-devotee of both Swami Muktananda and Gurumayi Chidvilasananda. Joan R. Bridges now alleges that Swami Muktananda “raped” her (one year before his death) in 1981 when she was 26 years old and when the swami was 73 years old and impotent. Despite her alleged “rape” in 1981, Joan Radha Bridges stayed in the SYDA movement until 2002 (twenty one years after the alleged incident and twenty years after the swami died).

Joan Radha Bridges released what appeared to be compelling stories of alleged abuse through various internet forums under the name “Radha” and “radha30327”. Compelling, that is, until now.

JOAN RADHA BRIDGES’ MYSPACE PAGE

Joan Radha Bridges’ MySpace page gave a revealing (perhaps too much so) look at her beliefs, preferences, sexuality and personality. Joan Radha Bridges is openly into Goth, provocative, sexual, lesbian, fetish and Shiva-Shakti imagery. See for yourself (click thumbnails to enlarge):










On April 21st 2010, a link to this blog was sent to Joan Radha Bridges and she immediately began to cover her tracks and promptly set her Facebook and MySpace pages to “private” (Refs: 01 - 02). Apparently, Joan Radha Bridges thinks her MySpace page is a liability to her credibility (click thumbnail to enlarge):


The comments section on Joan Radha Bridges’ MySpace page was chock-full of provocative, sexual, fetish and animated lesbian imagery mostly submitted by AllyKat4u (subsequently set to private) and JeffBKent (subsequently set to private). Therefore, the comment section to Joan Radha Bridges’ MySpace page will not be duplicated here. However, a thumbprint layout to the images published on Bridges’ MySpace page is provided below (click thumbnail to enlarge):


A sampling of AllyKat4u’s lesbian pornography and lesbian imagery can be seen here. A few examples of AllyKat4u’s lesbian images that were made exclusively for Joan Radha Bridges can be seen at: 01 - 02 - 03 - 04 - 05 - 06 - 07 - 08 - 09 - 10 - 11 - 12 (these images were available at the time of publication). Notice how the image folder was named “Joan Radha Bridges” (click thumbnail to enlarge):


Joan Radha Bridges was well aware that these lesbian images were published in her comments section and she left them there for all to see and enjoy! Anyone wishing to obtain a full download to Joan Radha Bridges’ former & public MySpace page can request it through the contact link provided on the side menu (anonymous requests with anonymous emails will not be honored).

IS JOAN RADHA BRIDGES A GODDESS?

On Joan Radha Bridges’ MySpace page, the following comments were made:


Arachno Folies: Hello beautiful Enodia, thanks for the add. I love your world. Have a great and magic day. Kisses - Yves from France

Den: Thank you for the add, and for being a wonderful hostess during Jade’s Destroyer Goddess lecture. I look forward to visiting again next time such an opportunity presents. Your Goddess representation is most Illuminating.

Jeff Kent-Musical Journalist/Lyrics/Music Producer: FETISH FANTASIES FOR THE GODDESS (which was attached to a slide show that contained about 20 hard-core lesbian images)

Jade Sol Luna: How was your weekend Enodia?

Jade Sol Luna: I loved worshipping your statue in Atlanta!! Welcome :)

On a book review for Jade Sol Luna’s Hecate I: Death, Transition and Spiritual Mastery, the following comments were made:
Blanca Diaz:...“Hecate is Enodia keeper of keys to the underworld/unconscious and it is SHE who can move you through the 6 shadows of the Heart Chakra that block the path towards enlightenment...If you are seeking this kind of path then what Jade has to say will probably scare or offend you.”...(Reference)

Joan Radha Rivers: “Being a lover of Hecate, I was so excited when i heard Jade Sl Luna was coming out with the first real book on Hecate. This book has the power to transform. To read this book is to know Hecate. Thank you Jade” (Reference)

Therefore, it can be abundantly evidenced that Joan Radha Bridges uses the Goddess name “Enodia” and is known by the Goddess name “Enodia”. Joan Bridges also referred to herself as a “lover” of the Dark Goddess “Hecate” (who is also known as “Enodia”). Jeff Kent offered a hard-core, fetish and lesbian slide show to Joan Radha Bridges and referred to her as a “Goddess”. AllyKat4u made several comments on Joan & Jeff’s MySpace pages that implied they spent time together:
AllyKat4u: Wishing you and Joan a wonderful Easter weekend Jeff. Love as always, Ally xo

I hope that you guys will have a wonderful celebration together today. Love Ally xo

Wishing you and Jeff and fantastic Easter weekend together Joan..love you, Ally xo smak!

I hope that Jeff’s your Christmas was filled with the magic of the holiday season..and that all of your dreams came true. Thank you for the presious gift of friendship...Love ya both...kissez..and huggz Ally (Reference)

On This Page, a person claimed that Jeff Kent is helping Joan Roach Bridges produce her Shadow of the Guru film. Jeffrey Kent also spent time in September 2009 with Joan Bridges in Georgia and they even posed for pictures and made a video together! See for yourself:


Therefore, Jeff Kent knew exactly what he was doing and saying when he called Joan a “Goddess” and sent her lesbian erotica.

This brings us to the Goddess statue that Jade Sol Luna said he enjoyed worshipping in Atlanta and about which Den said “Your Goddess representation is most Illuminating.” During Jade Sol Luna’s “Destroyer Goddess” seminar (which was held at Joan Radha Bridges’ home in Atlanta), pictures of the event were taken and published on Jade Sol Luna’s PhotoBucket account. The following pictures of Joan Radha Bridges’ Goddess Statue are very disturbing, eerie, bizarre and cultish (click thumbnail to enlarge):


As one can see, Joan Radha Bridges has a winged Goddess statue that was made in her exact likeness! Surrounding the Goddess are skulls, snakes, crystals, candles and what appear to be ritualistic items. How weird is that? It would appear that Joan Radha Bridges really does think she is a Goddess. This might also explain why Joan Radha Bridges wore a huge, red bindi on her forehead during the filming of the Shadow of the Guru trailer on YouTube!

JOAN RADHA BRIDGES PRACTICES TANTRA:

Joan Radha Bridges has made several interesting comments about “tantra”:
Joan Radha Bridges:...“I myself practice a form of tantra (that is what siddha yoga is, unfortunately SY is a lot of black tantra) that harms no one”... (Reference)

Joan Radha Bridges:...“The teachings are nothing new , but very valid teachings from the ancient Tantras of India , you can practice on your own as you seem to be anyway. S claims to own something that is free to all. You can receive the blessings of God within, don’t go looking for someone outside of yourself, there is so much available in the subtle world, just be persistent”... (Reference)

Joan Radha Bridges: “I know you can’t learn tantra from a book. Books are just someones minds, but the ancients texts make sense out of direct experince. As you just said about the book you recommneded below I also practice Tantra. I have had a great teacher, but I am clear I don’t need a ‘guru’.” (Reference)

Combining the quotes above with the provocative, sexual, fetish and lesbian content on Joan Radha Bridges’ MySpace page and her cultish Goddess beliefs, one can only guess what kind of “tantra” she’s really into.

JOAN BRIDGES, BLACK TANTRA AND JADE SOL LUNA:


As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. WHY is Joan Radha Bridges meditating with a human skull in her hands? One cannot help to wonder if the human skulls that Joan Radha Bridges possesses have been cleared with the police or FBI. Where exactly did Joan Radha Bridges obtain her human skulls from?

In his book The encyclopedia of Tibetan symbols and motifs, Robert Beér had the following to say about tantric skulls:
“The skull of a murder or execution victim is believed to possess the greatest tantric power; the skull of one who has died from a violent or accidental death, or from a virulent illness, possesses a medium magical power; the skull of a person who died peacefully in old age has virtually no occult power. The skull of a child who died during the onset of puberty also has great potency, as do the skulls of miscegenated [sic] or misbegotten child of unknown paternity, born from the forbidden union of castes, out of wedlock, from sexual misdemeanor, or particularly from incest. The ‘misbegotten skull’ of a seven or eight-year-old child born from an incestuous union is considered to possess the greatest power in certain tantric rituals. Here the vital force or potential of the skull’s ‘previous owner’ is embodied within the bone as a spirit, rendering it as an effective power object for the performance of tantric rituals.”

Since Joan Radha Bridges admitted that she practices tantra, it would appear that she was attempting to stimulate her kundalini as black tantrists are alleged to do with human skulls.

Joan Radha Bridges is also strongly partnered with Jade Sol Luna, a man who is closely allied with satanists, occultists, witches, psychics, tarot card readers and Goth priests. For example, on Jade Sol Luna’s “Masters Of Invocation” CD (View MySpace Page), the tracks are:

On the “Masters Of Invocation” CD, Jade Sol Luna worked with Raven Digitalis, Helene Delcroix, Venus Satanas and Kindra Ravenmoon. Who are these people?

  • Raven Digitalis (View WebSite) is a self-professed witch, pagan priest, wiccan, Goth, author, DJ, artisan, empath, tarot card reader and spiritual counselor who offers divination services, public rituals, handfasting, blessings, guided meditations, healing work, chakra alignment, exorcisms and herbal crafts.

Joan Radha Bridges is so devoted to Jade Sol Luna’s dark philosophy, she actually hosted a seminar for him in her house in Atlanta and allowed him to worship her Goddess statue there. On Joan Radha Bridges’ MySpace page (which is now set to private), she referred to Jade Sol Luna as her “teacher” and claims to follow the dark path of “La Sera”, which means “The Left Hand of Wicca”. Jade Sol Luna made a CD entitled “La Sera” and his visual depiction for that path is clearly Satanic:


La Sera is based on what Jade Sol Luna calls “Nirrtibhava Tantra” (Nirrti being the Hindu Goddess of death and corruption) that is associated with the fierce Goddess Kalika Devi. Like Joan Radha Bridges, Jade Sol Luna also has a penchant to meditate with skulls (see pic link here). Jade Sol Luna also figures prominently on Joan Radha Bridges’ Shadow of the Guru website and associated YouTube trailer. See for yourself:

JOAN RADHA - A PSYCHIC READER AND REIKI MASTER:

Joan Radha Bridges described herself as a “Reiki Master since 1985” (Reference) and has solicited her psychic services on the internet (even divulging her phone number). The following screencap documents Joan Radha Bridges’ advertisement to being a “Reiki master” who gives “readings” to individuals and groups (Reference):

JOAN R. BRIDGES’ HUSBAND: MERCER TRUETT BRIDGES JR:

Joan Radha Bridges’ husband is Mercer Truett Bridges Jr (a former anesthesiologist from Atlanta, Georgia). On Joan Bridges’ bios page, she dishonestly described herself as being married to a “physician”. The Shadow of the Guru domain was purchased on April 14th 2008, a full three years after her husband voluntarily surrendered his physicians license (meaning he is no longer a physician). It is unclear why Joan Radha Bridges would purposely mislead readers with inaccurate information about her husband’s profession.

In 1987 Mercer Truett Bridges Jr used fetanyl (a DEA Schedule II narcotic whose biological effects are similar to those of heroin) for his own recreational use and was caught. As a result, he entered a drug treatment program for chemical dependency at the Impaired Health Professionals Program at Georgia Drug and Alcohol Associates, Smyrna, Georgia and was put on probation for five years. On November 5th 1992, Mercer Truett Bridges Jr successfully completed his probation period and the probation was terminated (View “Public Record Reference” Below).

In July 1995, Mercer Truett Bridges Jr was unable to administer anesthesia to a patient because he was chemically impaired due to fetanyl use and again entered into a drug treatment program at the Ridgeview Institute. On November 3rd 1995, the Composite Board of Medical Examiners suspended Mercer Truett Bridges Jr’s physicians license. On June 5th 1997, Mercer Truett Bridges Jr was allowed to practice medicine but under terms and conditions of probation. On December 8th 2000, Mercer Truett Bridges Jr successfully completed his probation period and the probation was terminated (View “Public Record Reference” Below).

For reasons yet unknown, Mercer Truett Bridges Jr “freely, knowingly and voluntarily” surrendered his physicians license (which has the same effect as a revocation of his license) to the Composite State Board of Medical Examiners in Georgia on January 25th 2005 (View “Public Record Reference” Below). Needless to say, physicians rarely surrender their licenses without adequate reason or cause and usually do so for reasons of impropriety.

PUBLIC RECORD REFERENCE:
On the Georgia Composite Medical Board website, type in the last name of “Bridges”, the license number of “032520”, the city of “Atlanta” and the provider type of “Physician”. Click the search button and you will get the following result:

Mercer Truett Bridges Jr attempted to obtain a physicians license in Ohio in 2006 and he was denied based on the grounds that he is “chemically dependent”.
MERCER TRUETT BRIDGES, JR., M.D.

November 8, 2006: Dr. Robbins advised that on September 13, 2006, the Board issued a Notice of Opportunity for Hearing to Mercer Truett Bridges, Jr., M.D., based upon a series of disciplinary actions taken by the Georgia Composite State Board of Medical Examiners against Dr. Bridges’ Georgia medical license. Signed certified mail receipts were returned to the Medical Board documenting proper service of the notice. No hearing request has been received from Dr. Bridges and more than 30 days have elapsed since the mailing of the notice. The matter was before the Board for final disposition. Dr. Steinbergh noted that this is a case of chemical impairment and multiple relapses.

Mr. Albert and Mr. Browning left the meeting at this time. DR. STEINBERGH MOVED TO FIND THAT THERE IS RELIABLE, PROBATIVE AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE ALLEGATIONS CONTAINED IN THE SEPTEMBER 13, 2006 NOTICE AND TO ENTER AN ORDER OF REVOCATION, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. DR. MADIA SECONDED THE MOTION.

Dr. Robbins stated that he would now entertain discussion in the above matter. Dr. Steinbergh again stated that Dr. Bridges is chemically dependent and has had multiple relapses. He voluntarily surrendered his Georgia license in February 2005. There is a history of a number of consent orders, and so forth in Georgia. A vote was taken on Dr. Steinbergh’s motion: The motion carried.

UPDATE: June 11th 2010: Joan Radha Bridges has subsequently disclosed that she divorced Mercer Truett Bridges Jr six years ago although she referred to him as her “husband” on her bios page, which states “During this period, she married a physician, began raising two children, which gave rise to certain material successes, including a ‘Holistic Clinic’ she and her husband formed together.” When Mercer Truett Bridges Jr was under probation for his chemical dependency issues, he created the Holistic Clinic East-West Medical in Atlanta, Georgia. It remains unclear why Joan Radha Bridges would refer to her ex-husband as her “husband” although she had already been divorced from him for four years when she created her Shadow of the Guru domain.

JOAN RADHA BRIDGES - IN CONCLUSION

There is little doubt that Joan Radha Bridges has lost all credibility as an “anti-cult” spokesperson. Her ritualistic invocations of “cult abuse” are more literal than figurative. Joan Radha Bridges has no doubt been enabled and propped by psychoanalyst and psychotherapist Daniel Shaw (another “anti-cult” activist associated with Bridges’ Shadow of the Guru anti-cult film). Daniel Shaw unequivocally endorses, promotes and defends Joan Radha Bridges and Jade Sol Luna!

Joan Radha Bridges (the Shadow of the Guru CEO and Executive Producer) would have us believe that it is wrong to believe in Gurus, but it is OKAY to believe in Satan, Lucifer, wicca, tarot card readers, psychics, reiki practitioners, astrologers, dark magicians, Goddess statues and Goddess cults. Shocking!

But then again, Joan Radha Bridges thinks she is a Goddess and a Goddess can do whatever she wants - including pulling a bag over your head and meditating with your skull. Any takers?

Joan Radha Bridges has herself and Barry Pittard to thank for the creation of this blog. When Joan Radha Bridges was emailed with complaints about Barry Pittard, she decided to ignore the complaints. I bet she wish she hadn’t.

On the spiritual satanist blog, Venus Satanas said the following about Jade Sol Luna’s “Masters Of Invocation” CD (click thumbnail to enlarge):


Venus Satanas: “I have something very special for you - I was invited by Jade Luna, and Devonia of Legatus Records to record a track for their upcoming CD release, titled ‘Masters of Invocation’. The style of music for this project is labeled as ‘Dark Ambient’. It is music that is appropriate for the ritual chamber. According to Pagan Radio network, this is ‘Truly original and unique devotional Neo-Pagan music!’

If you visit the Myspace page for ‘Jade Sol Luna Music’ you can hear the contributing artists, Jade Luna, Raven Digitalis, and Helene DelCroix. My favorite track in their playlist is an amazing chanted invocation of Hecate.

According to Jade Luna, ‘The people I chose for the CD all have a deep practice in what they do’. Jade said that those who are involved with this project are ‘people from Various left handed paths invoking deities of the underworld.’

I was honored when they invited me to contribute to their new CD, ‘Masters of Invocation’. I agreed and I recorded a ritual invocation for this CD a few months later. This was recorded during a personal ritual where I lit a gold candle [Sol] that was representative of ‘power’ while I chanted four specific Infernal names as an invocation. While I did this, I envisioned my voice reaching all around the world to help others discover and connect with Satanism, to inspire others to find their own ‘power’ within!” (Ref)

Venus Satanas also claimed that “bizarre miracles” manifested at Jade Sol Luna’s seminars, which allegedly involved crows lining up outside the window of the seminar building and a lightning storm occurring only over the place where the seminar was being held (Ref).

Jade Sol Luna (a fanatic devotee of Hecate) also loves to reference the following Hecate Invocation from 220 BC:
“O Nether and Nocturnal, and Infernal, Goddess of Dark, Quiet and Frightful One, O You who have Your Meal amid the Graves, Night, Darkness, Broad Chaos: Necessity Hard to escape are You; You’re Moira and Erinys, Torment, Justice and Destroyer, And You keep Kerberos in Chains, with Scales Of Serpents are You dark, O You with Hair Of Serpents, Serpent-girded, who drink Blood, Who bring Death and Destruction, and who feast On Hearts, Flesh Eater, who devour Those Dead Untimely, and You who make Grief resound And spread Madness, come to my Sacrifices, And now for me do You fulfill this Matter.”

Even more disturbing are Jade Sol Luna’s satanic CD art, pictures of his Dark Goddess altar in his house (the goddess apparently prefers to be a blonde), a picture of Jade holding a human skull and a picture of Jade meditating in a cemetary on some sort of demon cloth (click thumbnail to enlarge):


Furthermore, Jade Sol Luna dressed in a long, black robe and officiated as the head priest in some sort of wiccan / satantic / pagan ritual (as evidenced by the people sitting in a chair within a pentagram, encircled with candles and other ritual items). Click thumbnail to enlarge:

One cannot help to wonder if the human skulls that Jade Sol Luna possesses have been cleared with the police or FBI. Where exactly did Jade Sol Luna obtain his human skulls from?

BOOKS & CDs BY JADE SOL LUNA

Strange enough, Jade Sol Luna reviewed his own books and CDs under his lesser known name of “Jyoti Chandrananda” (Ref)!

  • Hecate II: The Awakening of Hydra

  • Hecate: Death, Transition and Spiritual Mastery


CDs:

  • Scorpio Invocation

  • Queen of the Crossroads

  • Zodiac Hymns

  • Silver Moon, Black Sun

  • Prakriti Vidya

  • Embracing Goddess as Destroyer

  • Masters of Invocation


JADE SOL LUNA - IN CONCLUSION

This is the type of person that the Shadow of the Guru film and SotG website advocates for and expects others to blindly accept as an authority on cults and gurus!

Why would an “anti-cult” film cite Jade Luna (of all people) as an authority on cults and gurus in the first place? Jade Luna and Joan Radha Bridges (the creator of the Shadow of the Guru documentary and an alleged sexual molestation victim of Swami Muktananda) are very good friends. As a matter of fact, Joan Radha Bridges hosted a seminar for Jade Sol Luna in her house in Atlanta and allowed Jade to worship her Goddess statue there. As it turns out, Joan Radha Bridges has her own Goddess statue (very similar to the one owned by Jade Luna) that is made in her exact likeness because it appears that Joan thinks she is a Goddess (which might explain why she wore a huge, red bindi on her forehead during the filming of the Shadow of the Guru trailer)!

One could certainly make the case that Jade Sol Luna is very cultish, engages in cultish practices & rituals and advocates for cultish beliefs. The followers of the Dark Goddess that Jade Sol Luna worships (and for whom he created an entire altar, replete with a four and half foot tall statue) were typically described as belonging to the “Hecate Cult” or the “Cult of Hecate”.

The Shadow of the Guru trailer and website would have us believe that it is wrong to believe in Gurus, but it is OKAY to believe in Satan, Lucifer, wicca, tarot card readers, psychics, reiki practitioners, astrologers, dark magicians, Goddess statues and Goddess cults. Shocking!
