SATAN'S SCROLL II

Appropriately released for Walpurgisnacht, an article contained herein features a piece on Magus LaVey's influence upon occulture, entitled "A Great & Secret Showman". For those unfamiliar, some basic biographical information is shared, the development of Satanism through the publishing of The Satanic Bible on, and the organic organization, The Church of Satan, which continues to thrive and evolve. Also discussed are subsequent involvements in films Rosemary's Baby & The Devil's Rain. Along with commentary from Magus Gilmore, author Gavin Baddely {Lucifer Rising}, artist Carl Abrahammson {California Infernal},and musician Marilyn Manson; Satanists & Church members King Diamond and Warlock Sammy Davis Jr. are also mentioned. Incongruously, the writer also snidely mentions an irrelevant group and an irrelative.

Accompanying the article is a small piece on clothing & accessories displaying Baphomets and pentagrams that have traversed into increasing societal prominence in this Age of Fire, which sort of reminded me a bit of the NOSE magazine's Look Like Hell! feature.

Besides this premiere, the rest of the issue showcases horror-oriented TV shows, movies, books, games, and music {notably, the return of Horror Rockabilly band Ghoultown, in whose video "Mistress of The Dark" Elvira appeared}.

Overall, the article is presented in a visually stimulating horror format, with great archival photographs and gothic style. ∞

The Cloven Hoof #133
March XLVIII A.S.

This issue sees the return of the newsletter header, which arrives in the wake of Magus LaVey's birthday and Walpurgisnacht, providing for some pleasantly diabolical reading throughout.

LaVey's Five Point Plan Revisited turns up the hellfire & provides an updated and motivating actualization of our prime Satanic principles; In Defense of Pyramid Power by Snead Hearn contains sage advice to those so inclined...; On United Satanic America, Unchaining The Tiger: Of Deists & Dissidents is an inspirational essay on some of our nation's de-facto forebears' true intentions, and constitutional developments inevitably leading towards an increasingly carnal and atheistic evolution*; Climbing Mount Cameroon by Jeb Webb recounts a physically and mentally stimulating surreal Lovecraftian experience traversing the black earth. I especially enjoyed the descriptions of the variations of natural environments therein.

The issue concludes with a selection from Baudelaire's Litany To Satan, and a description of the next issue which promises to be an arousing & thought-provoking contemplation from Magistra Barton. What I also enjoy about The Cloven Hoof is the variations of presentation per issue - it has emerged in newsletter format, a magazine, color variations, and headers. A pleasure to behold upon each manifestation. ∞

Old Nick Spring XLVII A.S. Lust issue

Old Nick arrives upon the carnal current, coursing through the earth and the loins of humanimal beasts.

Seven very agreeable de-facto dictums by infamous writer Christopher Hitchens heads our way into this literary den of iniquity, with commentaries upon such topics as anti-theism, smoking & drinking, religion, sex, stupidity, evil, & Satanism. Very much corresponding with the analyses of those subjects by Satanic philosophy.

Features contain amusing & gritty interviews with Jimmy Vargas & horror novelist Edward Lee, while "Sexpert" Selina Minx offers advice on bringing lovers into the relationship for mutually gratifying sexperiences.

In Vices, we are treated to the attributes & history of beer, the Amber Demoness in her many forms. Contemplative factoids to ponder the next time you ingest her essence.

Within The Night Gallery, the dimly lit chamber reveals the infernal imagery, glimpses of The Abyss, in sculpture and photography, by Artist Valentin Schwarz. Also upon these delightfully decadent walls, an erotic comic strip premieres, Slices of Sin by Sentinel Comics, illustrating sexual adventures to ruminate.

The multimedia review section Wine, Women, & Song features the salacious poetry of Count Morivond, the dark metal of Nekromantheon, the musical innovations of Shining; while Sin City crooner Jimmy Vargas {who is also interviewed at length herein} discovers the treasured sinister jester belonging to one Bettie Paige in an unlikely place; and a foray into the belly of The Beast known as Hell-A yields a wonderfully sinful celebration of the flesh.

As always, the succubi contained herein will titillate the senses, stimulate those E.C.I.'s, & ignite those fetishes with kundalini hellfire. Gracing the cover is Witch Marilyn Mansfield at her best, while 'channeling' her devilicious namesake within her total environment turned veritable lightning rod to indulgent energy; next, as if gazing through a keyhole in timelessness, the exquisite Bettie Paige seemingly returns, enjoying a bit of lustful ligature for your contemplation; through another door, a very felinesque Temptress Minx opulently slinks about ever so seductively within an evocatively hellegant environment; Madison adorns The Altar 'neath the approving gaze of Baphomet, as Madea is just having some diabolical enjoyment with a cool blade made blazing hot; & this lustuary heats up back at Old Nick's nunnery, where these nuns have all the fun.

Finally, what kind of man reads Old Nick...? ∞

The Cloven Hoof #132
XLV A.S. 16 pp.

What a pleasure to find the latest issue of The Cloven Hoof #132 gracing My mailbox this fine evening, which was devoured 'raw' in one diabolical sitting.

Inside, we find the introduction elucidating on several evolutionary points of this publication & its esteemed editor, followed by contemplative essays on politics*; dietary experiments**; and some experiences from Reverend Moore since the 666 High Mass. Additionally, essays are enriched with literary referrals and web sources of educational interest.

The Arsenal section contains impressions on several multi-media releases, including The Book of Satanic Quotations by Magister Paradise, Motel Bizarre by Stephanie Crabe, Sex Cats by Christopher Mealie {two highly recommended and very David Lynch-type explorations into "vintage" photographic erotica, and blighted, amusingly disturbing environments}, several Feral House releases, various Noir films, some exquisitely indulgent libations, & The Devil's Diary, among other outstanding publications. Plus an inspirational poem!

On an appreciative note, previous recent issues brought forth a magazine style, while this edition features the return of the in-{black} house newsletter format, preserving the original bulletin presentation, granting a time-travel contemplation, complimenting one's collection of ephemera nicely. For the superb content, both styles work perfectly well. A splendid release with great expectation as The Cloven Hoof moves ever forward!

* From a Satanic perspective, of course; I also tend to support whatever issue compliments My own purposes when it merits My attention, no matter the "party", personally listed as "non-partisan", although tending to lean towards the libertarian on most pertinent issues.
** Magistra Barton's experiences and suggestions with "raw foods", which I personally fully endorse & enjoy every chance I get, although accompanied by hearty meats as well - very much agreed on the optimum naturally-present empowering life-force present, which one can certainly feel.

The Cloven Hoof
#131, The Official Tribunal and Newsletter of The Church of Satan / $5.00

It has been five full years since the last Cloven Hoof has trodden across The Black Earth, that incredible Memorial Issue, and The Baphomet Goat has returned with blood-red glowing eyes, imparting undefiled wisdom from within its pages, which are as The Gates of Hell opening forth to enlighten and entertain. Magistra Barton speaks on the evilutions of The Infernal Empire in that time, and the further purpose of this grimoire-periodical, which continues to remain as a Cabalistic newsletter reserved for the outstanding few.

Herein, perfect for the time of year, we are 'treated' to such literary works such as a very worthy sestina to Dr. LaVey by David Stalder; a run-down on some basic Satanosophical points arranged quite thoroughly by Kevin Filan; a timely commentary on Christian Pedophiles by Rev. George Sprague entitled "Jesus Loves The Little Children" {and quite often at that- how sadly approprois}; a great piece on The Satanic Family by Mga. Barton detailing some of her own experiences and advice on the matter, considering the little Prince of Darkness she is raising; another poignant piece on German Nihilism by Adan Flores; a misanthropic inclusion on the solace of productive solitude by Zachary Simon; an opinion piece by Rev. Chris Trian about why United Satanic America truly is 'The Great Satan'; and lastly, but certainly not leastly, but more or less beastly, an elucidating epistemological work as a luciferian torch bearing the black flames casts a hellish infernal light on the origins of said Lughnasadh, or 'Lammas', which reveals, among other things, the truly dark origins thereof, despite what the weakans presume to present. This time, the Arsenal features multimedia reviews of Bloody Beautiful magazine, The Antichrist's Bible, The Devil's Reign magazine, Goth Chic book from Gavin Baddeley, The Trident magazine, a commentary on The Temple of The Vampire, among other sources of mental edification, inclusive of this very journal.

Always a pleasure to read, The Cloven Hoof is perfect to curl up with on a cool night, amidst the howls and autumnal winds. I do hope the next issue is not so far to come. Highly recommended.

The Black Flame
{No. 16, XL A.S. Hell's Kitchen Productions}

I was delighted to receive Issue No. 16 of The Black Flame recently, the premiere publication of The Church of Satan, and it is truly a pleasure to behold and possess. It is just aesthetically beautiful and filled with comparable literary content, the likes which stands out as a Luciferian beacon in the midst of so much occultnik obfuscation and pop-pablum of the sub-journalistic arena, which continually seems to be lowering its standards, whereas Satanism strives to heighten the evolution of thought and action.

Cover

To begin, from the "Neter-World" as it were, comes the remarkable artistry on the superb glossy cover, entitled "Amon: The Kemetic Ram, or The Gate of Baphomet", expertly rendered by Magister Robert Lang, features so-named Amon, from whence The Baphomet sigil originates, seated majestically in Egyptian splendor upon His trapezoidal throne, a more ancient depiction of The Sabbatic Goat manifested in this infernal Neter. This splendid image is part of a forthcoming Tarot by Mgr. Lang, which will be an amazing acquisition in itself.

Communiques

Finally in print, we read inspirational Communiques of The Church of Satan's evilutions throughout the last few years, entitled "Milestones" by Magus Gilmore and Magistra Blanche Barton. Having these already on file, it is wonderful to read these herein, and certainly places Our advancing progress in perspective. Does the black heart proud.

Interviews

This issue is dedicated to The "Black" Fine Arts, the realm of Satan in the true expression of The Self, and features interviews with six artists and musicians of Satanic pertinence, including Jimmy Vargas {Time-traveler and Noir proponent}, David E. Williams {"unpop"-style singer/songwriter spinning tales of underground thought and darkside culture}, Peter Mlakar {Laibach nucleus of erotic and philosophical literature}, Rev. Steven Johnson Leyba {Native Apache ever on the multi-media warpath of extreme self-expression and [anti]-social commentary, shaking subjects up in order to reform a more highly-evolved culture}, Adam Parfrey {Elitist Feral House publisher and veritos information mogul}, and Trevor Brown {whose realistically blasphemous works have permeated Occulture forming recognizable archetypal iconography}.

De-Facto Satanists

Here we read of Aristotle, Giosue Carducci, and William Blake, old-world natural Satanists upholding The Devil's trident throughout history, through His many philosophical and poetic dimensions. Includes an enhanced explanation of The Hymn to Satan, which this Satanist has appreciated since finding it at The Library as part of a compendium, which I copied and even utilized during an improvised Sabbatic ceremony. I was actually taken aback by the many Satanic statements of Aristotle when I attended a class on Humanities at a local academic institution, and knew I had to compile them into an essay for other Satanists to appreciate; and Blake has also been a favorite read from time to time, and Am pleased to see him receive infernal recognition herein.

Loki's Laughter

I must say, I really enjoyed the evocative article on Benny Hill by Colonel Akula, a long-time favorite comedian {probably the first I ever integrated into My comedic repertoire, along with The Three Stooges, Monty Python, and Rowan Atkinson, to name a few}, whose re-aired presentations I would watch late at night, and would even replicate some of the skits therein with dracling cohorts at school and camp. I catch this whenever I can, and have a steadily growing collection of recordings, to supplement original broadcasts from the 80's. His playfully salacious humor remains unmatched, and needs to be resurrected into the orthodoxy. Part of the lustful dance of life, and definitely inspires strength through joy.

"Kiss My Satanic Ass!" follows, a guide to the art of insulting, that's IF one feels like playing with the herd - although I feel the generally best course of action is to simply ignore them, for they are of no true consequence overall.

"After The Absurd" is a gem of the classic devilish prankery which deflates pretentiousness and misdirected masochism, much which was brought forth by the genius of Soren Sorenson Adams, practical jokester extraordinaire. Harking back to a time of those amusing devices from The Johnson-Smith Catalog such as the whoopie cushion, the joy-buzzer, sneezing powder, among many others, the author offers a unique perspective as the owner of a joke shop. The Art of Embarrassment to effectively slap someone back into place, which are quite timelessly employable and enjoyable.

The Internet

"Collecting Souls in a World of Cyberjunkies" by Mgr. Robert Lang contains undefiled wisdom which I agree with whole-heartedly, as I gaze at the books about Me, occupying the black shelves above The Infernal Machine. I Myself have often said that "The only thing better than the smell of a new book is the smell of an old one." Too true. The tactile sensation of curling up with sometimes a musty, dusty book on a rainy evening in The Study on one's favorite comfortable chair, in The Bedroom in the luxury of the wrought-iron canopy bed, or outside at My own Satan's Hollow {which is the primarily method by which this magazine is being absorbed} amongst the gentle breeze and rustling of leaves, or even at a sparsely populated {above-ground, at least} cemetery, is incomparable to the sterility of a laptop at some internet cafe' - I do appreciate My sleek black laptop, but a text is best experienced with a physical book in a quiet, private place, thus creating a closer connection to Nature, in My opinion, and forming an actual meditation and pleasant memory.

"Lessons in Online Stupidity" by Agent Cyanide coincides with the previous, and offers some advice on internet etiquette, interaction, and the lack thereof. The Nine Satanic Sins are present on the web, and work just as well there as in the physical world. Although it has been My experience that the best thing to do when approached by some would-be antagonist and/or idiot is to simply ignore them, and they will eventually go away. The internet can be a wonderful source of information, shopping resources, conducting business, entertainment, and concentrated/controlled pseudo-social interaction, but it is ultimately a tool for the betterment of one's existence and should not be taken personally - as with most issues, moderation should be observed - after all, on the web, are you the spider or the fly?

"Dirty Books" by Warlock Kevin Slaughter discussing Bowdlerism was quite delightfully elucidating on the perfidious puritanical influences of past literary censors, and the exhileratingly tantalizing erotica surviving those sadly repressive times, now open for the libertine to re-discover and enjoy unto satisfaction, without the flesh-hating obstacles of yore. Authors discussed herein include Shakespeare, Mark Twain {see 'Letters From The Earth'}, Noah Webster {of Dictionary fame}, Solomon {read the biblical pornography in The Song of Solomon, which I once discovered with a beloved and laughed into the night}, Frank Harris, and Gabriele D'Annunzio! {whose antics and passions were a favorite of Dr. LaVey's}.

I also really enjoyed "The Art of Ritual" by Mgr. Lang - its basic principles I have already employed for My purposes and written of in Dracomeroth as one of the Spells therein, specifically "The Magic Pages Spell", which uses both written and visual imagery to manipulate one's quarry.

Another remarkable essay I can relate to is "Renfields" by Magister Rose, and I have known My share of these 'minions'. Some can be useful, but can only be tolerated in short instances at a time; while others, you just do not want anything to do with at all.

The rest of the content is just as compelling, incisive, and thorough in their analysis and commentary on various subject matter.

So what is in store for the next issue? As mentioned in the Welcoming Statement by Magus Gilmore, the next installment of The Black Flame shall be in book form, concentrating specifically on essay inclusions, whereas the Odditorium section will here-to-for move entirely online, which is already underway at The Sinister Screen.

Old Nick magazine
Volume 1, No. 2. Pentagram Productions, LLC.

I Am pleased to come into possession of the current issue of Old Nick magazine - "Playboy with Horns", as it were. Considerately arriving in its own sleeve, it is now the companion to the 1st issue, graciously obtained at the 6/6/6 High Mass.

Complimenting the devilish gentleman with discerning taste, we are treated to, among many other delights, the fine vice of cigar smoking etiquette, diabolical artistry, Sex Magick advice by 'Sexpert' Selina, an homage to the de-facto Dennis Wheatley {whose literary works are very much appreciated, & most worthy of integration}, spotlights on Witch Marilyn Mansfield {besides her ample attributes, includes an impressive rendition by Zoth Ommog in cowl & cape, & Witch Mansfield partaking of the Elixer of Ecstasy; of the classic Dr. LaVey & Jayne Mansfield photograph at her Pink Palace during ritual}; Magister Lang offers autobiographical relations on what kind of man reads Old Nick {much of which I can relate}; an intriguing evocative relation by a reminiscing sensualist who travels into a salacious relative's forbidden secrets; culminating in a splendid 13 question interview with Magus Gilmore, always offering sage advice & balanced perspectives on any given subject, so it was also interesting to read thoughts on sensuality, The High Mass, and personal relations.

Pleasing callipygian & bathycolpian contemplations

The beauties featured herein are exquisite sexamples of varied pulchritude to taste. The High Mass Altar Girl demonstrates her best assets, and also poses with Magisters Rex Church & Lang as Baphomet gazes on approvingly; Witch Mansfield displays the rewarding contemplation of a living doll; Centerfold Gianna {Freud observed that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar - but not in her case!}, the devilicious Roxy {a truly exceptional delicacy}, Gothic model Melody {who is really inspired by POEtry; also, The Devil prosthetic model from Divine Interventions is noted} & Jen {who despite stifling admonitions from the servants of abstinence, revels lustily in her true darkly carnal nature}, each with their own adventurous sexcapade, and all glamorous vixens presented elegantly. Even the advertisements are designed to ignite the senses, appealing to the libertine sophisticate.

From cover to cover, Old Nick is replete with sublime visual and literary content, enhancing each other in kind. Very well what would be foreseeably published by The Hellfire Club. A most welcomed addition to this Lair, and recommended for those who appreciate the finer things in life. ∞

* Sources: Official website.

Old Nick

I Am pleased to announce that I have received the premiere issue today and Am very delighted with it. Besides the gorgeous, curvy models and amusing story lines, there is a very intriguing article on The Hellfire Club, devilish lymricks, a tribute to 'Satan' magazine, salacious illustrations, the seven deadly sins, and a primer on indulging in fine tobacco and choice liquors.

Primarily geared towards the Satanist {considering the Baphomets, Sabbatic Goat of Mendes, and diabolical references}, 'Old Nick' is a splendid publication for the carnal connoisseur.

9/9

Not Like Most 17
XLIII - XLIV. Purging Talon Publishing

In this edition, On The Infernal Front contains the latest evilutions occurring within The Infernal Empire, from the superb bibliography unleashed within "The Year of Satanic Literature", The Satanic Calendar, to several musical manifestations, including The Black House: A Tribute to Anton S. LaVey, the pleasing continuance of Radio Free Satan, and the stimulating resurgence of Satanism Today.

Also introducing the issue is a touching eulogy for Warlock Crowclaws by Bill M., describing Shawn's irrefutable impact on the 'Witch City', the realization of himself as a Satanist, which proved to be a veritable zeitgeist in its transformation.

A favored piece herein is Reverend Moore's haunting tales of his experiences living in Horrorweird land {and the San Fernando Valley in Los Diablos, which this reviewer can relate to}, the many interesting synchronicities associated with Ed Wood, and his and Priestess Sinnz's compelling friendship with legendary screen maven Maila "Vampira" Nurmi.

Magister Sprague posits critical analysis on pretentious internet behavior in The Awkward Road To Satanism. Intellectual Black Holes abound! It bears restating to the sincerely interested, that before engaging in educated conversations about Satanism, the pre-requisite is to read and study The Satanic Bible first.

Next we are treated to Satanism and Atheism, from Magister Svengali. Indeed, Satanism begins with Atheism. Following is another treat - this one from Magister Paradise's book Bearing The Devil's Mark, with an excerpt from the chapter entitled "Further Evidence of The Satanic Age", both of which I heartily agree with.

The Mediabolica section features many reviews by several authors on a variety of multimedia sources, inclusive of Year XLII's splendid literary proliferation. Magister Paradise also graciously reviews The Devil's Diary Issues 9-12, among other remarkable publications.

Also of note, the inclusion of a great interview conducted by Tekku with Warlocks Menta and Asec Zonei, discussing all the intriguing elements which went into the creation of The Black House: A Tribute to Anton S. LaVey CD, followed by a personal relation of Colonel Akula's activities in the great outdoors. Salaciously metaphorical fiction jolts the senses in "Big Bertha's Mystic Striptease", while Magister Paulis realistically dissects the societal notion that one's career also be a pleasure, which apparently seems to be less often than so {if it is, that is wonderful, and why not strive to make it so? Knowing oneself honestly and pursuing one's passions are the key to materializing that pleasant situation; however, the herd are often deluded into considering it so when it is not, and thus, remain enslaved, where they belong}. Also included is an amusing parody ad for "Stay Brite" toothpaste by Rev. Mealie, featuring an array of distinctive dental patients. {"Breath... Taste... Teeth...!"}

Highly recommended, Not Like Most remains a most entertaining and pleasing publication, inspiring mental gratification and carnal contemplation.

Two Horns Up!

Not Like Most
Volume 16: Special 6/6/06 Satanic High Mass Issue

With fantastic photography by Daark, and experience relations from various outstanding members and The Magestry, including Magus Gilmore, HPs Nadramia, Rev. Moore, and Magister Lang, this elegant issue of Not Like Most is a magnificent overview of the 6/6/06 High Mass in The City of Dark Angels / Los Diablos, the first ever since those Magical events within the legendary halls of The Black House.

Also included are several essays on aesthetics {Magister Paradise, Col. Akula}, music {Maestro Le'rue Delashay}, social darwinism {Leviathan XIII}, Satanic Witchery {Dixie Rose}, an undefiled historical perspective {Magister Herbert Paulis}, a piece on the Satanic religion {Bill M.}, erotic photography from Rik Garret, multimedia reviews {including The Devil's Diary}, and an interview with our very own Reverend James Mitchell, the 'Sinister Minister' of TNA Wrestling, manager of the monster known as 'Abyss'.

NLM 16 takes its honored place in Church of Satan history, and remains a veritable memento vivendi in The Blackthorne Lair, and was an empowering pleasure to have been a part of.

Hail The Church of Satan!

S Magazine
{Volume 3, 2007. Published by editors Priestess Kim Rice and Witch Josephine Seven}

None other than Minnie Castavet graces the cover of issue 3 of S magazine, a really wonderful Satanic lifestyle journal, and in full color, no less, in vivid laser-print quality. I particularly enjoy the Satanic Homemaker of the Year contest with some of My favorite fetishistic women {I wonder if Samantha Stevens was also in the running?}.

Herein is filled with many imaginative recipes for various dark cuisines, to gardening, total environments, pets, incense-making and historicity, makeup tips, an interview with a lounge act, incisive essays on technology {by this author} and philosophical contemplation, and the hilarious mailbag section! Plus much more in this elegant and generous 66 page comb-bound compendium.

S Magazine is a veritable 'Satanic Martha Stewart' publication optimally recommended for all things dealing with The Satanist's Lair. Indeed, the very fact that this publication even exists is further testament that we are absolutely in full 'swing' within The Age of Fire.

The Ninth Gate II
{Walpurgisnacht XLII A.S.}

The Ninth Gate opens with pieces on Baphomet by Warlock Corvis Nocturnum, 'Satanic Altar Tools' by Bill M., followed by interviews with Black Metal band Shroud, and Dark Horizon Records company owner Typhus; there are art gallery features by artists Storm and Strephon Taylor; a pleasing spotlight on a deliciously-exquisite {brunette in this expose'} fetish model Bianca Beauchamp; a focus on publisher Old Nick Magazine; the gates close with salaciously-thoughtful essay 'The Intrinsic Decadence' by Mikael Walach, an analysis on the innate Satanic drive towards erotica.

Also included are Multimedia reviews on Magus Gilmore's superlative Threnody For Humanity CD, and book reviews of Lucifer Rising and Lords of Chaos.

Additionally, there are sinister product referrals to Scapegoat Publishing, Radio Free Satan, the fine arts and crafts of Blackthorne Productions, Femaledictions, Le'Rue Delashay, Artistic Devil, Diabolic Publications, Headless Historicals, and Monolith Graphics featuring the splendid musick of Nox Arcana, and more.

With shadowy cover art featuring Warlock Nocturnum's rendition of Joe Netherworld's Baphomet design, The Ninth Gate unleashes yet another plethora of highly recommended infernal delights.

The Ninth Gate
{#3 Halloween XLII A.S.}

This issue is a veritable tribute to Vlad Tepes, containing all things about The Impaler and the Vampiric genre, from artistry {the portrait of Vlad and the historical observation on the Voivod’s artistic representations by Warlock Nocturnum}, to statuary, jewelry, photography, poetry, music, intriguing film reviews, salacious gothic fetish models, to hypothetical statements, several interviews with proprietors {Nightshade, Vampire Wear}, authors {Michelle Belanger}, musicians {Anders Manga, Theatres Des Vampires, Soulfyre}, models {Devil Doll, Don Hendrie}, a black earth relation of The Dracula Tour {highly recommended}, delicious Vampire Wine, a biographical essay on Tepes by Warlock Nocturnum, and even a fictional interview with the man himself!

Most notable in My estimation is the compelling statement from Vlad The Just by Magister Lang {suitable for framing, in My opinion}, with splendid photographs of Lang's Vlad statue from Magus Gilmore, as well as an interview with Magister Lang.

For those who appreciate the darkly opulent eroticism of Vampira, Morticia Addams, Elvira, and Lily Munster, we have succulent fetish models richly spicing up the issue throughout {Devil Doll, Red Vamp, Vampire Wear}. The delightfully gloomy photography of Madame Webb, inclusive of somber natural locations, and Victorian total environments with their living and ever-living inhabitants.

With a slick magazine presentation filled to the brim within its 66+ pages, also included are elegant advertisements to the fine products of Scapegoat Publishing, Femaledictions, Headless Historicals, Nox Arcana, and Le'Rue Delashay.

The Ninth Gate is a publication that The Addams Family and The Munsters would subscribe to, and with an uplifted glass of black flame absinthe, is an absolute pleasure for The Blackthorne Manor to possess.

5/5

The Ninth Gate 4
Lilith Issue, 68 pp., Walpurgisnacht XLIII A.S.

With a rendition of this succulent Dark Goddess embraced by the sinister serpent in the 'Garden of Eden' transformed into a veritable Garden of carnal delights by Warlock Nocturnum on the cover, The Ninth Gate 4 celebrates the Lilithian influence throughout an amalgam of cultures, introduced with an essay of same, including an array of interviews with various lovely incarnations of her form with the marvelously morbid dolls of Headless Historicals' Reverend Shiva Rodriguez, Dark Candles' Priestess Helena, the literary entrepreneurship of Diabolic Publications' Witch Scarlet Norton, the enchanting olfactory indulgences of Femaledictions' Witch Sara Rung including an in-store visitation, the unique apparel creations of Dark Queen, an Interview and photo shoot with Harp musician "High Priestess", and a spotlight on model Eden; following are extensive multimedia reviews by this writer and others; concluded by a poem to this lustful archetypal current by Michelle Belanger.

Filled with slick photographs and artistry, The Ninth Gate 4 is a fitting tributary compendium to "Adam's first wife who taught him the ropes". Great reading and contemplation in this Walpurgisnacht season.

Infernus VIII, Spring Equinox XLIII A.S.

I n f e r n u s
{V. VIII, Spring Equinox XLIII A.S., 24 pp.}

"The Voice of Satanism in Portugal."

From Satan's Helloutro, who also brought us the Portuguese translation of The Satanic Bible, comes Infernus magazine, a beautifully-done Portuguese Satanic publication featuring essays on Carducci {including his distinguished poem Inno A Satana}, Atheism fundamentals, Surrealism, remarkable cover art "Don't Fear" by Simon, an art piece by D. Blackthorne, an interview with band Teatro Satanico {"Satanic Theater"}, aesthetic individualism, an analysis of amateur painting styles, plus much more.

Being that Satanism spans all languages and cultures worldwide {also see The Infernal Names as an indication}, one can truly appreciate this international expression of our philosophy. Well done!

Hail Satan!

The Devil in The Penthouse
{XLIV A.S. Review of Penthouse October '09 issue}

"Take that which tempts whenever you can!" - Dr. Anton Szandor LaVey, The Satanic Bible.

FEATURE: Devil’s Advocate - Inside the Church of Satan where sin is a sacrament and all manner of sexual activity in sanctified. By Bob Johnson

It seems most appropriate that our esteemed organization is featured in the October issue of Penthouse in this ninth year c.e. After all, The Church of Satan has duly been the subject of salacious publications in our history, like Hustler and Nude Living {see The Mephistophelian Midway}, among several others, and it is always a pleasure to gratify the intellect as well as the libido.

Herein, we see a magnificent illustration by Coop generously gracing the article's introduction, demonstrating a devilish gentleman in the midst of ritual with a writhing buxom vixen upon the Altar {which in itself would be a most desirable acquisition!}.

Conducted by Magister Bob Johnson {Old Nick}, interviewees accordingly discuss Satanic sexuality, and fetishes, with participants including Magus Gilmore, couples Magister Lang & Magistra DeMagis, Magister Coop & Ruby, Bryan Moore & Heather Saenz {Arkham Studios}, Christopher Mealie & Stephanie Crabe, Lex Frost, and Corvis Nocturnum, each with intriguing relations and personal dispositions, overall revealing that Satanists are honest with our carnal indulgences, at one with our carnal nature, welcoming mutual pleasures whenever desired.

Speaking of buxom vixens, also included is a panel featuring a provocative teaser-interview and titillating photo of the voluptuous Marilyn Mansfield:

Sex & The Satanic Model. Quite the pleasingly risqu� reward on both counts!

Overall, this issue in particular is an absolute must for collectors of Church of Satan history, which will easily prove to be a collector's edition; and otherwise those who appreciate intellectual contemplation to accompany one's sensual fare.

Of course, besides the seductively-rousing spectacles throughout, Penthouse also contains various other articles of interest:

"Halloween Howl - The hottest costumes for this year’s parties" by Christine Colby. Looking for sexy fetishistic outfits? Shop the Halloween aisles! For use all year 'round!
"Hot for Words - If more English teachers looked like this, we’d all have Ph.D.’s in literature" by Marina Orlova. Hot for teacher! Makes the learning process even more interesting! Will you be asked to stay after class? Extra-curricular activity, indeed!
"The Fursuit of Happiness - A Neverland-like utopia for adults who don’t want to grow up" by Harmon Leon. An amusing spotlight on a silly subculture.
"Bedtime Stories - 'Dirty Sexy Money,' erotic fiction from Life on Top" by Clara Darling. Mammon in the bedroom! She loves the scent of musk and money!
...and of course, The infamous Penthouse Forum!

The Trident 19
[The Magazine of Modern Satanism / Legion of Loki Grotto]

"Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those who walk on all-fours, who, because of his 'divine spiritual and intellectual development', has become the most vicious animal of all!" ~ 7th Satanic Statement.

The humanimal issue offers a variety of opinions about our place in the animal kingdom, as well as interaction with the other creatures therein.

The cover features "Honi Bunny", a zoomorphic changeling influencing society with her various charms, and the description reveals just how. One will notice the phi-ratio present in the daisies descending behind her. As a side note, I refer to trendoid airheads as "bunnies" and "foos", which may actually be giving them too much credit after all.

Paul Hill observes "Satan's Precious Creatures", lamenting most humanimals' apparent inability to flow with the course of nature, both inner and outer. "The Beauty of The Beast" by we know who, showcases marvelous photography of various furry four-legged and scaly friends in their purity of being; Markus Meyer offers some advice towards stratification and leadership, and reports on an amusing exhibit featuring human and simian cohabitation, as well as displaying forte' images from the jungle to the shore to the woods; Magister Paulis makes a staunch commentary on some deceptive influence of Disney upon the populace when considering multimedia representations of animals' true predispositions; John Brunac recollects parental cliche's about pets; J.M.K. describes some evolutionary developments in the humanimal in contrast with other animals, and relates a delightful little folktale about why clouds are so high in the sky; Justine posits a pro-vegan beef {contention}; and the Dear Abby column serves up a winsome evocation of Jiminy Cricket's undefiled sage wisdom, which sings true.

The voice of other species speak through this installment, and it is wise to listen. For Satanists, it is already the voice within.

"The highest plateau of human development is the awareness of the flesh!" ~ The Satanic Bible, P. 81.

Dark Somewhere
A Magazine of Dark Fiction

Issue #1 of Dark Somewhere arrived today, and I must comment on the quality of both the artistry and the literature, which are superb, rendered completely by Silva himself. Four dark tales of horror and erotica array this premiere presentation. My favorite thusfar is "The Little Outcast", about a little boy who seeks the aid of The Devil to gain revenge on some bullies. There is also "Astra" {dark erotica}, "Territory", and "The Scepter of The Serpent" - all remarkable works, made manifest by Mr. Silva himself.

The subsequent issue shall contain one of My stories entitled "Bestial Lust", about romance under the full moon gone horribly wrong. Among other infamous writers, Mr Silva credits H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Ray Bradbury, and of course, Anton Szandor LaVey as inspirations. Dark Somewhere seems an amalgam of Heavy Metal magazine and Weird Tales with a decidedly diabolical slant, just the way I like it.

I predict this publication shall achieve quick infamy within the literary underworld, and shall grace many a Satanist's coffee table and library.

Rating: 5/5.

Dark Somewhere
A Magazine of Dark Fiction
XLIII A.S. Issue #2. $5 U.S. / $7 International. 44 pages.

Dark Somewhere magazine presents five morbid tales of horror fantasy from various authors including Warlock Hernandez, Michael Silva himself, and this writer, plunging the depths of the carnal, erotic, the feral, the chthonic, and the mystical.

Each darkly well-descriptive story is accompanied by an impressive rendering of the tale told by the expert pen of Mr. Silva, creating a veritable "Lovecraftian Journal" of thrilling terrors perfect for a dark stormy night.

Art within features draconian forms in flight, a Sorcerer coalescing with an old one from the stygian leagues, a plethora of salacious demonic creatures, a humanimalistic warrior, and generously curvaceous succubi throughout.

Filled with suspense, thrilling escapades, and concupiscent contemplation, Dark Somewhere magazine is aesthetically as well as literarily pleasing - a sheer pleasure to aphotically enjoy.

5/5.

The Trident 18
Spring XL A.S.

Arriving via Pandemonium Airlines, is this latest installment of The Trident, with flaming tines thrust upwards into the starlit sky, serving as a beacon to the demon wings gloriously shadowing the night, resting gracefully upon terra firma. Our lovely stewardess from the cover motions us to the pleasures of our next destination, awaiting through the hellgates upon The Black Earth.

This is the "Worldwide Satanic Conspiracy" issue, with Satanists from around the world voicing opinions on various political, social, philosophical and economical environments in their countries of origin, and the relative states of The Infernal Empire therein.

I must say, I was taken aback by the account from Reverend Redstar in Frankfurt, and I Am sure true Diabolic Justice will follow - just goes to show that no matter what position the herd may hold, ignorance and fear are indelibly inherent within the despicable lot of them. Editor Primus shares some of his amusing formative experiences with the left and right portions of the political spectrum. Kris Hawkins relates the American media infiltration into Britain with sadly devolving effects upon the populace; Colonel Akula discusses comparative issues between Canada and the U.S., including the legalization of certain cultural taboos which are steadily gaining acceptance, all for the betterment of an advanced Satanic Society {what I call a "Daemonocracy" - DB}, as well as some of the lingering perfidiousness besetting these societies; Magister Nemo contributes a splendid piece on the 'shocking' truth of the "worldwide satanic conspiracy" - there really is one! But not in the form commonly expected...; Magister Paulis posits his concerns over dogmatism in The Infernal Empire, and some of the attitudes taken by some of those new to the organization, diabolical demeanor, as well as the preservation of individuality versus herd behavior; an urgent message from the Marquis DeSade's homeland expresses the need for increased french interaction which will secure their respective position within our sphere of influence; Rafocale Lucifuge notes our increasing global span into this Age of Fire; and Witch Abby Brimstone relates her well-traveled experiences and observations on the waning multi-cultural influence of the christian reich, and the true meaning of freedom of religion.

The Question of The Quarter this time around relates to what extent and capacity Satanists should become involved in partisan politics, or not at all. Also includes movie reviews and some really great merchandise referrals. The Trident remains a consistently top-quality publication.

The demon bell rings... time to board the plane again... and on to the next level of The Inferno. Thank you for flying Pandemonium Airlines...

The Trident
Issue No. 17 / The Magazine of Modern Satanism \ Winter XL A.S.

The star gate shifts... slowly turning in space, swirls of future visions transmutating in a portal of dark energy, and from nucleic minds does proceed manifestations of the imagination, casting patterns from the present, forming the future in kind...

Princess Satania emerges therefrom upon her metal chariot, an infernal machine charging through space and time, with joyous precognition, a star amongst the galaxies...

Herein this inter-dimensional journal of Modern Satanism, appears the inspirational and compelling piece by Magus Gilmore entitled "Wrestling The Future Into Manifestation", which kindles the black flame ever higher, as we look forward unto greater victories and accomplishments; Paul Hill shares his vision of The Future in the impending Satanic Society of Social Darwinism and meritocracy, based upon Dr. LaVey's Pentagonal Revisionism; Ali Martikainen offers a glimpse into his beautiful environment in Finland; Rev. Herbert Paulis gazes into the veritable crystal ball of the mind to decipher another plausible scenario of the exciting future, discussing some underground revolutionary inventions, and is a call to actualize the Will and realize the future as we see fit; Uncle Otto observes the principle of survival of the fittest and the acquisition of the planet by The Satanist; Warlock M.

Jord; and Abby Brimstone gazes forward while retrospecting upon the past, relating her own evolution since stepping 'outside the box' of proventiality.

Not Like Most 15

Arriving in the Hell Post, this gem of literary and artistic indulgence, filled with thought-provoking essays and multimedia reviews on a variety of subject matter of Satanic pertinence. First of all, one is gratified by the striking cover featuring Our Founder, rendered expertly by Jack Malebranche - actually hand-painted on canvas {a sadly forgotten art; thus, the resurrection of a past orthodoxy}, which would look quite handsome in one's Parlor or Ritual Chamber - a fitting tribute to the legendary figure.

Inside, a scathing essay by Magister Paradise entitled "Consumer Vs. Producer", which really nails the differences between the two, even within our ranks; a very pleasing introductory column "Aesthetic Terrorism Series" with the infamous Magister Diabolos Rex, who lends his archetypal knowledge to The Devil's Gallery as well as countering many ignorant claims made by the herd; interviews with Unpop Art's Minister of Unpropaganda Brian Clarke, who speaks on this revolutionary movement which utilizes various historical imagery to invoke the darker side of the psyche, and forces the viewer to realize their own prejudices, regardless of how egalitarian or misanthropic they may claim to be; an interview with Jack Malebranche who discusses his homosexuality and libidinous projects; Magister Paradise offers another intriguing essay on "conditional love" vs. unconditional; Adan Flores explains the Third-Side perspective regarding cinemagraphic evilution; Colonel Akula ponders two of Our Satanic forebears in Nietzsche and Heidegger; and Reverend Herbert Paulis offers an amusing and incisive essay entitled "How I Became An Asshole" about the dangers of extending kindness to those undeserving and ingracious; I really enjoyed the section "Satanic Reflections From Bill Cosby", which through his humorous wit, rings all too true; and LeRue Delashay, our resident Composeur par excellance, literates the advent of Beethoven's iconoclastic influence into the modern world, which remains eternal.

It is surely a pleasure to absorb this latest release, which remains a superior Satanic publication throughout.

The Trident No. 16

The comedy issue! And what a delight it is. First of all, the cover is graced by a splendid harlequin by the name of Eris, sexy AND funny! What a sinfully delicious combination! Herein we have contributions from Rev. Herbert Paulis with sarcastic wittiness encapsulated in a fictional tale about Ol' Noah, and humorous tips for pilots; our own nefarious Jester Bill M. offers "Comedy For The Masses" {great observations and suggestions on what the herd are programmed to respond to}, an interview {wherein he shares some of his passions, including Mathematics and Misanthropy}, and "The Satanic Comedy Commandments" {recommendations for various comedic sources including some of My favorites such as George Carlin, Woody Allen, David Cross, and Bullshit! - personally, I would have included Rowan Atkinson and Benny Hill - not to mention The Three Stooges, The Kids In The Hall, and Monty Python - yes, I appreciate British humor!}: the Bill M. Issue! Hail the Lord of Coke and Hot Dogs! A hilarious faux interview with White Metal cream puffs "Stryper" entitled "To Hell With The Devil"; "Satan Laughs" by Paul Hill {also a contributor to The Devil's Diary} about the importance of preserving a sinister sense of humor {agreed}; a splendid mythological piece called "Welcome To Hell", wherein an inspirational stay in the infernal regions is explored; the Dear Abby {Brimstone} column about locating her appropriate sense of humor; mathematical signs of The Beast, and The Question of The Quarter which in this issue, deals with same-sex marriage, and the interesting parallels in France.

XXXIX Anno Satanas - $5 U.S./$7 World

Received My copy of Not Like Most #14 yesterday, and needless to say, it is yet another superb release from Magister Paradise, done with class and style. Speaking of Classical, an essay herein entitled "Classical Music: The Devil's Playground" expounded by Le'Rue Delashay {Satanic Composer Diablere} heads off the issue, followed by "The Misanthrope's Survival Guide" {all of which is already personally and pleasantly implemented}; a thoroughly interesting interview with esteemed Magister Nemo, Founder of The Temple of The Vampire - members will not want to miss this one!; "The Golden Age" {'...of Horror!' - DB} follows, whose evocative timing is perfect, and speaks to the current dis-hibernation and awakening of the silver screen, which is a most pleasing development; a hilarious inclusion from the "bizarre world and strange weirdness" of Professor Sinister entitled "The Library of Secrets", which relates some of the more both far-fetched and plausible contraptions throughout sexual medical history {which seems to be rather large on anti-rape devices - which is understandable, considering the times, in which women were seen as property, and whose deflowerment by another man could mean humiliation and the damaged reputation of the man} including a "penis trap" and "female security device"; a piece on the shock value of Satanism by Shiva Rodriguez; "America, Where Are You?" by Rev. Herbert Paulis; "Hymn to Belphegor" by Adan Flores, which is an infernally-inspired relation; a fine and agreeable addition "Indulgence: Fine-tune it or Die" by David Allan White {where did he go?}; "Absolute Human Companion" by Mgr. Paradise - an elaboration on Artificial Human Companions by ASLV, their crystallization and ever-perfecting integration; and another classic piece on Paganini by Mr. Delashay named "The Devil's Hands" - these are great perspectives on these composers who were more often than not in league with Dark Forces themselves, thus inspired by The Daemon within.

"Mediabolica" comprises the multi-media review section, with reviews of The Devil's Diary V, and an inclusion of My review of Magus Gilmore's Threnody For Humanity. \,,/ Two Horns up to Magister Paradise!

Winter XXXIX A.S./$4.00 U.S. / $5.00 Foreign The Trident 13

Received My complimentary Issue 13 of The Trident in the Post yesterday, and the theme of this one is all about the military. The cover features a rendition of a lovely Valkrie on the warpath. There's a great article by Rev. Thomas Thorn addressing several points on patriotism to cliche's, a commentary on the military witch's wardrobe by Veronica Van Horne, a piece on Satanic / Military values by R. Merciless, some personal relations in the service by Iain Jaymes Pointe, some Lex Talionis by Primus, the Dear Abbey column featuring a short fiction piece, and a Luciferian animation by James Helkowski & Ryan Mojica; as well as a page on multimedia reviews by Honor Noble on the back.

This issue seeks more interaction with the readers this time around, introducing "Shout at The Devil" and "Question of The Quarter" which will be addressed in the next release. Always a pleasure, The Trident receives three prongs up!

The Trident #11
The Magazine of Modern Satanism
Summer XXXVIII A.S./$3.00

This time around, the theme is all about our favorite Root of All Evil, MONEY, and the more the better. Contained herein this monetary menagerie, are essays by Publisher Ambrosius, G. Michael Enriquez {"In "God" We Trust", an ode to the Mighty Dollar and why money is indeed not only practical, but truly "of The Devil" �; the black diamond of the issue I feel is the interview compilation entitled "Being Your Own Master: Satanic Entrepreneurs", inclusive of the opinions and remarks about the devilish business of this writer, among other notables of the Infernal Trade; "Slave Bait" by Iain Jaymes Pointe; "A Special Kind of Society" by Rev. Herbert Paulis; a column by the voluptuous Abbey Brimstone named appropriately "Dear Abbey: The Dollar and The Satanist", which is a delightful little repartee' between she and a dollar bill ; followed by media reviews of Marilyn Manson�s "Golden Age of The Grotesque", and the film "The Matrix: Reloaded".

And as a gleaming capstone, a Satanic Media review by Greg Nasty about The Devil's Diary V, and it is mightily appreciated indeed. HAIL SATAN.

Also included, is an ad forJose Cuervo, featuring a handsome devil surrounded by a gaggle of tumescent angels giving in to the temptations of the flesh, and that is as it should be.

The cover features a Satanically evolved "Laksmi Satana" featuring the four-armed and upwardly-mobile Hindu Goddess with cell-phone in hand, with the others motioning The Cornu, another displaying a Pentagram on her palm, from which proceeds a wealth of coins with which she blesses her adherents with a bounty of riches; and the fourth grasping a lotus flower to signify beauty, lest perspective be convoluted - she is bedecked in a "power business suit", which accentuates her curvaceous repose. Behind her leap two goats in place of the usual packaderms which would only slow her progress. The typical forehead dot is here replaced by an inverted star, which further displays her empowered evilution. Another symbolically striking image conjured vibrantly by Selene.

Overall, another amusing and educational offering from The Legion of Loki Grotto. Excelsior!

Trident 10
The Magazine of Modern Satanism
Spring XXXVIII A.S./$3

The theme of this Spring issue is Satanic Sex, the undercurrent of life itself - a favorite subject of this author, assuredly, being a proponent of Satantra whenever possible. Paul Hill offers an essay entitled most appropriately, "Sweet Satanic Sex", and sweet it is, with his philosophical observation of the myriad of sexual expressions within The Infernal Empire. The delectable Abby Brimstone serves up some of her techniques and analyzes the manipulative possibilities, well applied by experience; "Eden Found" by Eric Zollman is a lusty, sultry, naturally-indulgent little tale about two Satanimals partaking in the Sacrament; Artist Joseph Seeman is profiled along with a reallt great piece entitled "'Ol Scratch", which would make for a nice Tarot card #15; A piece called "Tapping into Ilsa" by Khristina D. Astonishing is about the sexploits of Nazi Domanatrix Dyanne Thorne, whose lurid novels relate Sado-Masochistic scenarios not for the sexually timid - of note, a DVD is on its way!; Ian Jaymes Pointe relates his discovery of The Satanic Bible, and some misanthropic observations of the herd's cliche'd and PC-infested manufactured opinions in his inclusion entitled "The Great Indulgence"; and a couple of "quickies", commentaries on pornography and BDSM by Honor Noble immediately preceeds this author's Satantric, erotic short-story offering "A Date with The Devil" with a wonderfully perfect art piece conjured by Selene; And of Honorable Mention, Terry Horns' and Walt Hicks' text "Exit The Light", which is a series of stories from these Hell-born arising Satanic Authors.

The Trident #9
The Magazine of Modern Satanism
Winter XXXVIII A.S./$3

The Trident #9 An unfortunate wayfarer walks the night beneath the full moon's light, the echoing sounds of wolves' howls slowly nears - fear strikes his mind and his heart begins to beat faster, as his sweat bears cold against the evening chill. They will feed soon. Glowing dilated eyes dart from between the shaded darkness of the pine trees, whose perfume permeates the nocturne amidst the scent of fear which brings them nigh. Silent and swift demise at the hands of forest predators. Are you the hunter or the hunted?

It just keeps improving with every release. In this issue, the theme is dedicated to honoring the Satanimal Beast within man. An inclusion by this Satanic Werewolf features a rite to being forth the feral one {a-la "There is a beast in man that should be exercised, not exorcised" ~ LaVey}; "A Werewolf Tale' scratched up from the distant past by Lady Pagan; "Wolf.s Bane" by Vlad Dracula; "Naked Ape V 6.66" by Primus; film reviews pertinent to the genre, and a skimmy review by Honor Noble of Robert Eisler?s "Wolf Into Man" {with an introduction by Adam Parfry}.

On the cover by Sebine, another sublime monsterpiece featuring a were she-wolf on the prowl, hunting and haunting the night 'neath the full moon, luna splenderosa, approaching a cabin, stalking with a couple of her companions.

"I gaze at the moon with my stomach full, pick My teeth with the bones, Gaze at Luna?s fading light, intoxicating ecstasy takes My mind away ? her face grows pale as I sleep?" ? portion taken from "Bloodfeast" by D.B.

A Publication of Satanism in Action
XXXVIII Anno Satanas - $5 U.S./$7 World

This time around in this exceptional publication, we are treated to "Ego Transference and The Herd", a keen analysis on the motivations of the herd and the manipulative possibilities thereof, which should be instinctually well-known by the Satanist; an incisive and valuable piece on techniques of accumulating currency for The Satanist {Financial Affluence: the 6th completing level of The Infernal Alignment}; an essay on the unfortunate herd-trend of victim mentality; an insightful interview with {former} Grotto Master Andrew Watkins, detailing his various projects {Skratte Magazine, formerly The Black Star Chronicles - he has since initiated the afore mentioned described in the following review of said magazine, among others}; an article on the fine aspects of replications of paintings on canvas entitled "The Fine Art of Faux"; and in the vein of "Misanthropia", another great misanthropic occam's razor splitting cliche's asunder entitled "Absolutes Can Corrupt Absolutely" by Rev. Paradise; an amusingly incisive inclusion on the Satanic descriptions and history of facial hair, particularly the moustache and the various infamous figures sporting them {although the Addams character Gomez was not mentioned}; and several other misanthropic essays, the humanimal's Magical birthright, religion in the news, a pleasantly quirky piece on the foibles of telecommunications and its false securities described with Tolkien-lore, and a piece on unwilling and unable personalities even under the mantle of Satanism, which could very well serve as an extention and expounding of The Satanic Bunco Sheet. Included also are multimedia reviews in "Mediabolica", including The Trident and The Devil's Diary Volumes III & IV. The cover features a heptagonal and pentagonal rendering entitled "Apache Means Enemy" by by Rev. Steven Johnson Leyba. NLM come highly recommended and remains one of the finest Satanic Publications available.

Skratte Magazine Volume One

Editor Drew Watkins, vocalist for The Revenants presents Skratte Magazine, an outgrowth of the currently disbanded Order of The Black Star, featuring interviews with the likes of Lord Ahriman of Black Metal group Dark Funeral {new album "Diabolis Interium"; also in Wolfen Society}, Editor of Not Like Most magazine Rev. Matt G. Paradise, Musician Rev. Thomas Thorn {Electric Hellfire Club / Wolfen Society}, & Proprietor Kevin Slaughter, grace this first full issue.

Included herein are essays on the manipulation of prayer "How To Prey on Prayer" by Donald Swain, which contains wonderful suggestions for redirecting and utilizing the submissive psychic energy thereof to one's Satanic benefit. Also included in this issue are three film reviews by this writer; "Satanism and Eugenics" by Eroxthis; "Memetic Warfare" by Editor Drew Watkins; a past orthodoxy with information on the historical Nineveh Grotto by Magister Jeff Nagy and Stan Moog; the vicious exploits of The Crusades, a nice bit of misanthropos veritos entitled "So Much Love To Give" by Joe Berlund; "Kill Them, Kill Them All" by Ambrosius of The Legion of Loki and Editor of The Trident magazine; and an all-too-true comic depiction of the slobberly populace personafied in the herd's perceived notion of the lord of the meek and the king of the weak entitled "A Moment In The Day of The Second Coming of Jesus..." - conceived by Joe Berlund. Actually, I thought it ironic that one herd icon was in the hypnotic spell of another "god", The Letharginator, and there are also ads for finely-hewn and desirable Satanic Merchandise.

The cover features a mannequin attired in clerical clothing, which makes an appropriate aesthetic introductory statement to a featured column herein entitled "Christian Crime" by Citizen Eric Zollman - a collection of blindlighter xian accounts of their various crimes, following their bloody history, with a typical mix of murder, extortion, child abuse, and rape.

Skratte is quite an enjoyable "Satanic Digest" artfully filled from front to back quite thuroughly. Do add this journal to your literary repetoire. Highly recommended.

The Trident No. 7 The Trident 7

For this issue we are greeted by an effervescent young lady {scratch nose} granting a salute while the sparks of the fireworks blaze on through the night behind her. She dons a hat and collar emblazoned with Pentagrams - a lovely image.

This is essentially the remmus Independence Day issue, a time when a self-preserving Vampire-Werewolf-Satanist hibernates during the repugnant lightmare. This quarterly slim publication contains essays on suggestive Satanic Aesthetics for the Warlock, Satanic Genetics, a report on the 2nd annual Radio Free Satan Bash, an interview with RFS creator & President of Mephisto Media Corporation, and the part 3 conclusion to the triune cliffhanger by Terry 'Horns' Erwin. Another superb unleashing.

The Trident No. 6

Another delighful aesthetic conjuration by Selene adorns the cover of this fine Satanic publication - a Gyspy fortune-teller peers into the crystal ball which reflects the Magic she invokes which is appropriate to adorn this issue, which deals with Sorcery and Vampirism.

The prolific Rev. Herbert Paulis contributes a thurough essay on latin etymology; a vampiric rite by this Vampiric Warlock; a humorous piece called "Fruit Mantra" by Primus; "All of Them Witches" about sinematick deviltry by the dalmationative Les Hernandez of The Quintessentials; a part two continuation of the epitomic "Revival" by Horns, and Justine's Movie Picks comprises this richly packed lokian issue of deviltry. "The Difference Between Dogs and Cats" is also included, which is absolutely right on the money, thus complimenting the definitions of Catism and Dogism - a must read.

It was also quite a nice touch to pepper the issue with accentuating quotes from Dr. LaVey and Shakespeare.

This Magical issue is a great addition to one's Luciferian Library. Recommended.

The Trident is unleashed quarterly, & remains a quality Satanic publication.

The Trident No. 5

In this Winter XXXVII issue of this outstanding publication, is included three essays, one by this Warlock {'The Dawning of Daemonocracy' - the impending and inevitable governmental system, inclusive of Lex Talionis/Satanicus}, one by Honor Noble {'Are you a Good Witch or A Bad Witch?' - about the basic differences between so-called Black and White Magic}, and another by Lady Pagan {'A Witch's Tale' - a delightful relation of feline persuation}; great fiction from Horns {'Revival'}, and some selacious poetry from Les Hernandez {'Mistress Damnation'}.
