A Democratic Party official and her husband are facing charges in connection with alleged satanic rituals involving the kidnap, rape and starvation of another couple in North Carolina.

Joy Johnson, 30, a vice-chairwoman of the Durham County Democratic Party and vice chairwoman of the Young Democrats, made an appearance in court yesterday after she and her spouse, Joseph Craig, were arrested Friday.

Craig, 25, is charged with second-degree rape, second-degree kidnapping and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon for an incident in January and another in May. Johnson is charged with two counts of aiding and abetting.

According to published and broadcast reports, prosecutors said a man and a woman met Craig through a shared interest in Satan worship, although the couple never consented to any physical abuse.

Craig allegedly shackled his victims to beds, kept them in dog cages and starved them inside his home. Police say he beat the man with a cane and a cord, and raped the woman.

"This goes well above what they were interested in doing," Mark McCullough, an assistant district attorney, told WTVD-TV.

McCullough was unsuccessful yesterday in having Judge Nancy Gordon increase Johnson's bail to $500,000 from the $270,000 set by a magistrate.

"Part of the allegations are that satanic worship is part of this case," he told the Raleigh News & Observer.

State Sen. Floyd McKissick, D-Durham, said he had been told Johnson had resigned her positions with the party.

"I was absolutely shocked and flabbergasted," McKissick told the paper. "You never would have suspected allegations that she would have had any participation in these rituals."

Along with her interest in the Democratic Party, Johnson is one of the driving forces of a New Age website called "Indigo Dawn," a name which, according to the site, was given to Johnson during a meditation vision.

"She decided to explore the New Age community more, and after taking a course in Reiki healing, experiencing past-life regression along with direct guidance from her spirit guides, she confirmed that her destiny was to help bring about the New Age on Earth," Johnson's online biography states. "Joy shared her vision with her husband, Joe; as a result the Indigo Dawn was founded to raise the vibration of energy on Earth."

Among the services Johnson offers online are "intuitive guidance, past-life regression, spirit guide communication and healing and cleansing."

Who We Are

Joy Johnson has been a political, peace and social activist since her early teens. She has devoted her life to peace activism and searching for proactive means to bring about world peace.

As a child, Joy had many spiritual experiences and always felt she was never alone due to the presence of spirit guides. As a teenager, she spent much of her time studying various religions, yet none of them felt right to her. After traveling to Iraq on a peace mission, she became more and more drawn to the spiritual energy surrounding her. The Indigo Dawn started as a vision during a meditation where she was clearly shown the enlightenment glyph and given the name Indigo Dawn. She decided to explore the New Age community more, and after taking a course in Reiki healing, experiencing past life regression along with direct guidance from her spirit guides, she confirmed that her destiny was to help bring about the New Age on Earth. Joy shared her vision with her husband, Joe; as a result The Indigo Dawn was founded to raise the vibration of energy on Earth.
In 2000, Joy graduated from Cornell University, obtaining a B.S. in Human Biology, Health and Society. Joy was born in Fayetteville, N.C., and grew up in Raleigh, N.C., where she attended Millbrook High School. In high school, she revived the N.C. Association of Teen Democrats after it had been dormant for 10 years and served as president for two years.

Joy serves as president of the United Nations Association of Wake County. She is currently third vice chair of the Durham County Democratic Party as well as vice president of the Young Democrats in Durham County. She is also a member of the Human Relations Commission of Durham, N.C.

Joy has traveled to Israel/Palestine with the Israeli Committee against House Demolitions to witness the conflict between Israel and Palestine on the ground. Before the 2003 war, Joy traveled to Iraq with the Christian Peacemaker Team to put a human face on the situation and to share with Americans the truth about the effect of the Gulf War and the imposed sanctions on the Iraqi people. Meanwhile, she speaks about her experience in the Middle East on a regular basis to any interested groups.


Rev. Joseph Craig has always seen the world through different eyes. He has known since a very young age that things were not as simple as those around him would like to suggest. By the age of 6 without even knowing the term for it, Joseph knew that this was not the first time he had walked the face of the earth. This level of understanding and reason is something that has continued throughout his life.

Joseph was always fascinated with magick and anything related to the topic. It was not until he reached the age of 14 that he came to the understanding that magick was real. This opened his eyes and his mind to the world as it really is. Everything that he knew without reason or explanation all of a sudden became clear. This started his study of self and his study of the occult.

A devout student of magick and of self-discovery, Joseph has turned the page and is teaching that which he understands and knows to others. Finally finding his true calling, he has pushed others to a level of understanding and reason far beyond what they currently were. Do not judge this young man by his age, for his soul goes far beyond this. Always a student, even as a teacher, he seeks to further his understanding and grasp those unseen threads.


Board member Alin Tiberiu Lacatus was always an activist. Born in Arad, Romania, he was raised in a Christian environment, taught to be good, ordered, loyal, honest, etc. But the fire inside would not allow everything to work on an average level. Alin started studying the ins and outs of Orthodox Christianity, becoming a zealot. That strong fire within his spirit wasn’t quenched with just driving the passion and beliefs to a level close to that of priests; he wanted even more. He wanted to create something, something he taught as a child (13-15 at that time) that the best thing would be an Inquisition, and he was certain he would be able to create it again.

Fortunately for him, this whole thing passed when he was in a period of mass confusion. Like all teenagers this confusion appeared and changed his whole outlook on life, reality and religion. At 16 he was granted a divine revelation — Knowledge is Absolute. That which he believed to be God was in fact the personification of Knowledge. Knowledge. It was the exact definition of Absolute in his eyes. One must know how to eat in order to eat, one must know how to speak in order to speak. As such, life is just a continuous learning and the body is only a shell, a car or envirosuit through which one travels through life.

With this revelation the boy became (unknowingly) a gnostic. This is where the questions started, and his life became much more intense. He joined various occult groups, but none fit his profile. He studied from where he could, assimilated with his own beliefs and learned more and more. And as a result of his inner fire, Alin wants to change the world, wants to purge it of dishonor, corruption and weakness as such he joined in 2006 the Social Democratic Party (becoming a vice-president among the youth three months after joining) and started in the same year the Political Sciences College in Arad with the International Relationships specialty. Recently he joined Indigo Dawn officially, and now his activist nature is ready to show and shine.

This is a hot local story....my take on it is:

1. The local authority is generally Southern Baptist, and anything that is not specifically Christian is "satanic" to them. From what I know of the "Indigo" movement, it is New Age but not satanism, Satan having no existence whatsoever in that belief system.

2. These people are pond scum, and I hope they fry.

3. No, they are NOT representative of area Democrats in any way, shape, or form.

Pardon a bit of thread drift...

The above are likely all correct. This incident will in no way be tied to Beverly Perdue or Barack Obama by the MSM. However, if they happened to be Republicans (something I am not) the MSM would constantly point out their political affiliation (i.e. "Republican Satanic Rape Case") and attempt to link them to Pat McCrory and John McCain. I have no use for either of our major parties and even less use for our MSM. The fact that the fringe site WorldNetDaily is reporting this story (rather than MSM) illustrates my point.

Prosecutor: Couple's crimes related to cult


Posted: Jun. 30 2:04 p.m.
Updated: Today at 10:53 a.m.

Durham, N.C. — A Durham couple charged with kidnapping, rape and assault was involved with a satanic cult, a prosecutor said on Monday.

Joy Johnson and Joseph Craig appeared at a bond hearing Monday. A judge set Craig's bond at $590,000, but refused a prosecution request to increase Johnson's bond from $270,000 to $500,000.

Prosecutors said a man and a woman met Craig through a shared interest in Satan worship, but the pair never consented to physical abuse.

Craig shackled his victims to beds, kept them in dog cages and starved them inside his Albany Street home, prosecutors said. He was charged with beating the man with a cane and a cord and with raping the woman.

"This goes well above what they were interested in doing," Assistant Durham County District Attorney Mark McCullough said.

Johnson, who was third vice-chair of the Durham County Democratic Party and vice-chair for the Young Democrats, was charged with two counts of aiding and abetting. Prosecutors said she knew her husband planned the crime and watched as they were committed.

She has resigned her positions with the Democratic Party, said state Sen. Floyd McKissick, D-Durham.

"She seemed to be a very open, reasonable, responsible person, but certainly, the allegations that have been made are shocking to everybody who has known her," McKissick said. "We wish her the best going through this difficult and trying time."

Johnson also resigned her position as office manager for the Durham People's Alliance.

Craig and Johnson operate a business called Indigo Dawn Inc. that is described on a Web site as a spiritual growth service offering "past life reconstruction" and "communication with spirit guides." The site talks about Johnson's activism and describes Craig as a reverend and a "devout student of magick."

One neighbor who declined to give his name came to court Monday to support the couple and held up messages behind the courtroom's glass partition.

"(They're) innocent until proven guilty," the man said.

Craig and Johnson were ordered to have no contact with their victims.

Prosecutors said they anticipate more charges will be filed against the couple.

An ABC station links the couple to the Order of the Morning Star, and reports:

Eyewitness News did some research and found a satanist who says he was once associated with the group 'Order of the Morning Star.'
In an e-mail to Eyewitness News he says the couple leads the organization under fake names and that the group worships the devil.
The former member alleges he left the OMS because it felt like a cult and they were starting to promote a herd mentality.
Worldwide he says the OMS has more than 80 followers.
A website also shows Johnson and her husband as the leaders of Indigo Dawn.
