Blood over Intent

This article was written from an outsiders perspective, if you are part of the movement, see something wrong or feel like something is missing, please add upon the current texts.
"Blood over Intent" (BOI) is the term used to refer to a specific satanic ritual and cult. BOI was most likely founded by Mark Braun (aka. QuasiLuminous) around 2013. The BOI movement has strong links to conspiracy theories, especially the flat earth movement which seems to be integral to their beliefs.
BOI is a mostly YouTube based New Age religious movement on the internet with concerning cult-like qualities, as it has at least somewhat of a leadership and requires practitioners to post their rituals onto Youtube and subsequently encourages practitioners to monitor the activities of every other practitioner to discourage anyone from leaving. As indicated by the cult mentality of being willing to monitor fellow practitioners and the believe in conspiracy theories, it is save to assume that many practitioners are living in an filter bubble. The recent establishment of the Sophia Sanctuary is also highly concerning.
== Beliefs ==
Mark Braun, the founder of the movement, proclaimed himself as the reincarnation of Satan. He claims to be in the Possession of "The Book of Life" in which 144 thousand names are written, he claims that only those with their name in the book will avoid an afterlife of endless pointless suffering. The only way for someone to get their name into the book is to perform the BOI ritual.
=== Ritual ===
The BOI Ritual serves as a sign of life and acknowledgement to Satan as well as being the only way to get ones name in the "Book of Life". The Ritual is performed by spilling ones own blood on a piece of paper on which a sentence like "Bring forth Heaven onto Earth for the benefit of all" or "I intend to bring forth Heaven on Earth" is written. It is also important to record the ritual as the final step of it requires one to post a video of it onto Youtube.
== Sophia Sanctuary ==
The Sophia Sanctuary is a sanctuary founded by Devin Elon Madgy, a leading figure in the movement, in 2020 located in southern Oregon, USA.https://web.archive.org/web/20200919070341/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHQvSaohhqE
