Do they get off on hiding in plain sight?

Yes. They love symbols and get off on flaunting them. In Magick, I think that's how a symbol gets power. You make a magick sigil and imbue it ("charge" it) with some spell and then... show it to people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigil_(magic)

A sigil (/ˈsɪdʒəl/; pl. sigilla or sigils; from Latin sigillum "seal") is a symbol used in magic. The term has usually referred to a type of pictorial signature of a demon or other entity; in modern usage, especially in the context of chaos magic, it refers to a symbolic representation of the magician's desired outcome.

Thank you. So it's literally the Satanic Occult using magic and human sacrifice out of either hedonism or a genuine belief that these rituals maintain their power over the population?

The latter, I believe.
