'The only one who can judge is up there and inside me': How shaman Loup Blanc became a guru tried for rape

With his hand on his heart, he insisted, aware that the notion of sectarian influence was at the heart of his trial: “There was never any influence, I never abused anyone, he continues, he who charged for his training and teaching. I have a rate, it's like when you go to the baker, you pay for your bread. I do a job."

But how does one become the guru of a community of students who believe in his supernatural powers as a shaman, ready to spend thousands of euros on his teaching and to try tantrism in the master's bed for the women he designated ?

Cyrille Adam grew up in Oise, Catholic education, father who repaired televisions, authoritarian mother and a revelation at the age of 7 when he mentioned to some people supposed touching of a priest: the world is nothing but a big psychiatric hospital.

Resistant to authority, he left school at 14, dreaming of becoming a “model maker” but trained as a kitchen assistant and then scraped by with odd jobs. No pay slips were found.

Thanks to “sacred geometry” he supposedly guessed the fall of the Berlin Wall

Adam “prefers martial arts to women”, as he confirmed in court. The trigger came in 1982: at the age of 30, he gave his first lecture on “extrasensory perception”, then refocused on healthy eating, personal development and his “spiral of life” therapy.

First miracle: “thanks to sacred geometry, he guessed the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989”, reports the personality investigator, provoking in the room the enamored smiles of the disciples who remained faithful to the accused.

Gift of healing

The expert psychologist, for his part, reports this other anecdote: “He tells me that he picks up a bird crushed on the asphalt, he takes it in his hand, goes for a drink in a bar and the bird sings and moves, he resuscitates it.”

Mage, healer, drawing on yoga or the tarot of Marseille, he is inspired by Hindu cults, then transformed into a shaman twenty-five years ago, proclaiming himself a descendant of Sitting-bull, taking on the name of White Wolf or Red Cloud. The faithful follow him and renew themselves.

“His students are his professional, friendly and family circle”, summarizes the criminal court. To the point of burning his wings and abusing his power for his own pleasure ?

Adam, in a long, hazy statement, relishfully dons his master's costume and places himself above the experts – "I too could examine them with a conscience of love" – and justice.

“Never will they reach my mind”

« If they want to condemn me, they condemn me, they will never reach my mind. I can't blame you, you do your job, but justice mustn't be too blind!, he rants. They are trying to make me out to be a god, with powers, I have love and cosmic energy that circulates in the universe. The only one who can judge is up there and he is in me, because it is the conscience. »
