| Summary: | A biographical account of the much-maligned heavy-metal icon, Ozzy Osbourne, and a comparison with the demonisation of occultist, Aleister Crowley, will shed light upon the evolution of the state and stance of the Christian Right in terms of the "Satanism Scare" of the 1980s and 90s.

The meaning of this societal shift will be examined throughout the paper. |
