As a contemporary Satanist, you've probably wondered about Our Black Pope, Anton LaVey {1930-1997}, & what his lifestyle, history, & evilution was. Well finally, to calm your insatiable curiosity, he has released a video documentary called SPEAK OF THE DEVIL. Very aptly named for the prime incarnation thereof. The first thing one sees, is the video case, which shows the doctor holding BOAZ, His boa-constrictor.
A lightning bolt cuts through the clouds, reminiscent of the Doctor's personal symbol. Probably the most impressive line in the whole presentation starts it all off when The Doctor states, "You're either a REAL Satanist, a TRUE Satanist, or not. And if you are, you were BORN that way." Every true Satanist knows that we are born, not "made", with that essential superior Satanic gene.
Suddenly, as if gazing through a crystal ball, We are out on the streets, surveying the common populace, asking their feeble minds what they think of SATANISM. We get many varying answers, most of them ill-educated, which is to be expected from the mealy-mouthed, unwashed, or biased & prejudiced "sources", who still adhere to the age-old xian mythology. Witnessing those idiotic fools, those walking trash-bags, with their misconceptions & blatant ignorance, One more fully realizes why there should be birth-control, & if I ever agreed with abortion, it would be in such cases.
However, there were a couple of Satanists besides the lot, who clearly have earned their places upon the earth, by submitting intelligent commentary about Our religion. Anyone can throw their two-cents worth of meaningless opinion, but it takes a superior person to put a modicum of effort into studying a particular subject matter, without vomiting forth absurdities like the assimilates do. We Satanists are prideful, & this world is OURS!
By & by, LaVey talks a bit on how humans are inherently cruel to each other, & enjoy seeing the pain & suffering of their own. Perfect examples, being practical jokes such as joy buzzers, whoopie cushions, stink bombs, & voice testers. the latter is the most devious of the bunch, in which blood is actually drawn.
A portion of The Infernal Diatribe is narrated to inspirational scenes of brutality & vengeance, diabolic justice, & some spiritual concepts.
The Den of Iniquity
The rest of the video consists of a tour of The Black House. LaVey leads you through its many dark chambers, including The Den of Iniquity, where we meet some of His humanoid creations - they are testament to the Satanic philosophical ideal that we are Lord Helixs. We Satanists place no other deity before Ourselves. The Dark Forces We conjure, that make Themselves manifest by the fulfillment of Our Wills through Magic, We call SATAN - that Presence - that POWER.
The dwellers therein show the lustiest, mundane elements of Underworld life, in a bar setting. Twisted people reveling uninhibitedly in a cavalcade of debauchery. The "freaks" have burst their chains, busted out from their cages, & have enslaved their public for our amusement. We are the judges of mankind...
The Ritual Chamber
In the name of Satan, the Ruler of the Earth and the King of the World...
As we travel deeper into the labyrinths of the Black Monster that has swallowed one up, we arrive at The Ritual Chamber, the Inner Sanctum, the Heart of Darkness, at the very Gates of Hell Itself. This is where those abominable blasphemies took place that brought on The Age of Fire, where "Lord Helix" was sacrificed upon The Black Altar, bringing forth a rebirth, improvement, liberation, Lucifer's Enlightenment - all part of Nature, The Darkside of Life. Here, the Satanic High Priest delivers an Infernal Eulogy of Misanthropic Indignation, invokes The Forces of Darkness, & essentially declares War on hypocrisy, mediocrity, & repression, & calls for a return to Nobility, & the Magical elements in Life. SO IT IS DONE.
The Music Room
The Devil always has the best tunes...
Finally, we arrive at THE MUSIC ROOM, where LaVey Satanically serenades Our Dark Souls unto enchanted delights upon the keyboards. He arches & looms above the organ, creating sensual & evocative impressions. We are taken upon black wings into dark dimensions of the Noir Era. The Musick drifts & falls, crashes & strikes, explodes & soothes. A veritable roller coaster of audial adventure, much like a picture He painted of a skeleton taking a gleeful ride upon one, which hangs in the Purple Parlor.
Speaking of art, The Music Room is splendorously arrayed with hellish murals of demons dancing & flying about the walls, along with The Sigil of Baphomet, such as in The Ritual Chamber.
Next, we have a lengthy conversation with The Black Pope about His illustrious past, influences, & experiences.
Besides the Sinister Minister, we become acquainted with High-Priestess Blanche Barton, His left-hand gal, chronicler, & confidant. She speaks briefly about the LaVey biography, The Secret Life of a Satanist, which she authored, & she also appears in The Den of Iniquity earlier on.
Then we hear from daughter Karla LaVey. She talks about what it was like living in the LaVey house-hold, the incredible similarities to The Addams Family, such as the manner of dress, the Victorian house, & all the unusual pets prowling the premises.
We Listen & watch to four other prominent Satanists - Boyd Rice, speaks about the impending Satanic World, Father Larry Wessel gives his impressions of The Satanic Bible, & Rex Diabolus Church, speaks on Aesthetic Terrorism, while seated before his Gigerian depiction of Baphomet, drawn for the uprising Satanic Death Metal band Acheron. Then there is Peter Gilmore, publisher of the official forum of The Church of Satan, The Black Flame, with a few words about blood & brains.
Speak of the Devil concludes with Hymn of the Satanic Empire, or, Battle Hymn of the Apocalypse, by Anton LaVey, played with demonic scenes from Hell. Very last, LaVey concludes by reading a portion from Gone With The Wind.
FLESH WITHOUT SIN! WORLD WITHOUT END! HAIL VICTORY! HAIL SATAN!"
Before Speak of the Devil, which shows a look into the Black House today, that has long since been closed for public display of Satanic rites, there was Satanis. For many of us who were not yet incarnate upon this Black Earth, Satanis provides us with an intimate look inside the early Church of Satan, when this revolutionary organization gained its initial notoriety. We get to see L'Air Epais, in which a cardinal receives a flogging, then is reborn unto Satan & his own fleshly desires, as he enters a coffin containing the manifestation of Lilith. The "lord's prayer" is said backwards, a witch urinates blasphemously, as she represents a nun gaining liberation.
We also get to see a curse, employing a beautiful serpent, & a fetish doll is impaled, as the congregation swoons in an hypnotic state of morbidity. A compassion ritual is also performed, as well as a lust spell.
Throughout the video, interviews are conducted with Dr. LaVey, & other Satanic Witches & Warlocks, & also with neighbors, who have varying opinions on the Satanic Church, its Black Pope, & its practices. Also here, are interviews with little Karla LaVey, & Diane LaVey, the second first lady, who repeatedly quotes the Doctor, verbatim. Baby Zeena is only briefly seen at the zoo, being held by Diane. Ironically, it was Zeena who sold Me My copy of Satanis from her now non-existent store, Hellhouse of Hollywood.
Satanis is the definitive, official documentary of The Church Of Satan, during its media-manipulation period of emergence, & subsequent development. With all of the emotions this video will inspire in you, you will feel as if you were there, partaking in the diabolic rites yourself.
"IN NOMINE NOSTRI SATANAS DEI! HAIL SATAN!
Into The Devil's Den
XLIV A.S. | Carl Abrahamsson
The triumvirate to complement Satanis & Speak of The Devil. Directed & Narrated by Carl Abrahamsson, comes this 'Doc'-umentary on Magus LaVey's legacy, continues in this presentation with interviews with Church guests & friends Magus Gilmore, HP Nadramia, MTR Blanche Barton, contemporary Kenneth Anger, Mgr. Robert Johnson {in his hellegant total environment featuring pentabolt, sulfur sigil pennants and Corpsewood Baphomet}, Michael Moynihan {Lords of Chaos}, Fr. Larry Wessel {sporting flattering long hair & Baphomet shirt}, buxom Witches also include LaVey's former secretary, & Ruth Waytz.
Relations of experiences at The Black House, conversations, personal discoveries & subsequent realization & integration of Satanism, elucidations on some of the legendary exploits, archival photography, film footage, & previously unseen commentary by LaVey throughout.
Overall, he seems like a fun friend & mentor to spend time with and share mutual interests, like a veritable daemon "brother from another mother", as it were. [5/5]
splendid documentary on the evolution of The Church of Satan throughout the Age of Fire, from its founding origins heralded by LaVey through to Gilmore, some rare archival photographs & footage, with interviews with several of the interesting personalities contained therein. Blanche Barton, The Gilmores amidst Black House Beast, Ruth Waytz, doll-maker/collector & Metal musician couple Marilyn & Zoth, plus various Writers, artists, musicians, models, dancers, a myriad of performers gracing this shadowy organization of productive individualists, eccentrics, unconventional conventionalists, the alien elite!
Questions range from the personal discovery of The Satanic Bible, the use of the philosophy to exemplify perspective, the practice of The Religion, and overall lifestyle. Opinions and experiences through The Satanic Panic, and personal projects enhanced by Satanism. A visit to a bar showcasing The Great Satan presentation, and wonderful scenes from a Church event including psychodramatic & salacious performances, and an inspirational diatribe by The High Priest.
From Coney Island spookhouses to Los Diablos highrises, foggy San Francisco origins to hellscape vistas & clandestine Satanic gatherings, the devils speak for themselves in An American Satan, an impartial journalistic documentary that is both educational and overall simulating to the uncommon senses. [5/5] ∞
DOCumentary on Satanic Witch Jayne Mansfield's rise to stardom, on the hell heels of Mae West, with a primary focus on her involvement with LaVey & The Church of Satan. The proof is all there in photographic and documented evidence. Her impact on & the utilization of the feminine mystique which ran counterculture to homogenized enmasculated hippie variants - 2 sides of the same coin.*
Includes interviews with avant-garde filmaker Kenneth Anger {LaVey contemporary & friend}, Peaches christ {dragqueen entertainer}, Tippi Hedren {'The Birds' actress who adopted Togare into her Shambala preserve animal park sanctuary}, Mamie Van Doren {Mansfield contemporary & friend}, John Waters {makes a surprisingly ignorant, if not frightened, nervous statement about disbelieving her membership in The Church, stating the devil worship stereotype of animal sacrifice}; plus several other actors, artists.
Also includes many rare photographs of her posing with The Black Pope in her ritual chamber at her total environment Pink Palace, and the sacrifice Sam Brody who met his justified doom, plus elucidating clips from Satanis, which speak for themselves and balances our philosophical perspective.
Of major contention, it is reiterated that The Curse was placed upon the disrespectful, abusive Brody, a lout, boor, and boozehound, who was blackmailing Jayne to stay with him, censoring her comments, while she was repeatedly warned to stay away from him on ground zero. Even the event of the newsclipping is related.**
Chapter segments segue into artistic license dance pieces with dancers dressed in period 'costumes', with music & vocals of a rather dissonant nature; at one point including a devilish dancer with horn sculpted hair.
Of special note, a wonderful satanimation short illustrating LaVey's compassion ritual of Jayne's son Zoltan who was mauled at Jungleland Park in Thousand Oaks CA, performed atop a mountain under the moon, of which he fully recovered.
Satanic soulmates? LaVey & Mansfield complement eachother well. She, the sexy glamor girl, He, the Devil as a gentleman. Her persona unsuspectedly graced with a talent for the violin, learned in five languages: English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian, with an IQ of 163.
Overall, more often than not, the urban legends turn out to be true in this case, with some added minor [incorrect] details according to the personal notions of erstwhile antagonists. [4/5] ∞
_____________ * as in the futile "let me combat your discrimination with my own", instead of individualism & consideration based on merit. Same goes for racism, religion, said gender, etc., which are all crutches of the weak.
** LaVey was clipping a news article on The Church for preservation in a scrapbook, while on the other side was a picture of Jayne he inadvertently cut through, across her neck!
Pact With The Devil
The Learning Channel / Discovery
The
presentation begins with a stern warning, that some viewers may find
content disturbing, as it deals with controversial images and subject
matter - so right away, one's curiosity and expectation is piqued. - it
should at least be quite dramatic - and it is. Rendered in a style
reminiscent of Geraldo's Exposing Satan's Underground,
which was basically a sensationalistic nerve-tapper focusing more on
urban legends than actual Satanism, although the few minutes of Our
actual philosophy demonstrated tends to be more than enough to get the
message across, and really stands upon its own merit - ironically, it
may prove to be far more intellectually disturbing to the viewer, and
the journalism source than the lurid accounts of blood and gore
fabricated to gain attention. The dichotomy of displaying those alleged
criminal acts perpetrated by stoned metalheads garnering their
foolosophical misinformation from albums and horror films, versus that
of actual representatives of The Church of Satan
can be quite engaging, and in My opinion, further goes to exemplify the
difference between devil-worship and true Satanism; plus, it seems to
add more of a mysterious and dangerous connotation, which adds an extra
exciting element overall. As a matter of fact, it is rather "fun" to
view these types of "shockumentaries" wherein we know where the truth
lies, like a black diamond in the rough.
Despite
a promise made by the producer to COS Administration to NOT contact the
following individual {which was a decision as to whether or not Our
participation would be granted}, included herein is ex-FBI agent and
hack Ted Gunderson, who still clings to the SRA fables, despite being
debunked in an exhaustive investigation by that very agency. It seems
that he is desperately grasping onto any faint strings of notoriety he
can, evident in the quack video "evidence" he dramatically produces
from a safe, which upon observation by a professional forensic analyst,
is clearly an awful hoax inconsistent with forensic characteristics,
perhaps even initiated by Gunderson himself to preserve his media
presence at all costs.
By
far, the high points consist of Magistra Barton countering some of the
common claims made by the ignorant, as well as offering enlightening
and educated commentary about the Satanic religion, with scenes of an
impressive ritual sequence conducted by this very writer.
Apparently, the producers slummed and also filmed with some pseudo-Dome Fossilists who add to the urban mythology about cult sacrifice by claiming knowledge
of such, plus they look like hippie-Goth clowns to boot. For the
record, whoever they are, they are in no way connected to The Church of
Satan, and are definitely out of their league. They embarrass
themselves well.
The rest
of the show involved a news story so named "The Nightmare on Elm
Street", obviously after the film series, which involved four or five
losers who huddled around a nut to form a cult of drinking buddies
called "Order of The Lion" who, probably after a bout of narcotic
abuse, decided to murder a couple of other wastrels on an actual street
named "Elm" - upon observation, there seemed no direct connection with
a so-called "satanic crime", and I have a feeling the motive probably
had more to do with a failed drug transaction or simple robbery. And
finally, more lowlife criminal activity with a relation about some
whack-job who ungratefully murdered his parents for the sacrificial
purpose of using a decapitated head for a "Black Mass" {there is no
such pre-requisite for Le Messe Noir, by the way - all one has to do is
read The Satanic Rituals by Dr. Anton LaVey to realize this}.
Overall,
with the exception of the brilliant Church of Satan sequences, the
program seemed a product from the paranoid mid-80's to early 90's; and
as such, is about 80% fiction, 20% factual. It is surely worth the
acquisition for those choice segments alone, as well as for the
evocative thrill.
Hell: The Devil's Domain
A
surprisingly more in-depth look at the mythological history of Hell
from various belief-systems, including Jewish, Muslim and Buddhist
depictions, as well as the ever-present christian accounts. It seems
that the media have expanded their research much more, including
de-facto Satanists Mark Twain {book: Letters From The Earth} and
Benjamin Franklin, with accounts of the Hellfire Club of early America.
The ubiquitous "witch" tryals were discussed, the SRA urban legend,
"possession" {Catholic and fundamentalist christian tales}, and
devil-worship, serial killer criminality, with various theologians and
authors including Dennis Prager, speaking on the simplistic "good and
evil" dualities; but the cream of the crop came towards the end of the
program in the segment entitled "Friends of The Devil", which displayed
scenes from Satanis {with a brief clip of Dr. LaVey from those
legendary interviews}, Speak of The Devil, and showed hard-cover copies
of The Satanic Bible and The Satanic Rituals {no doubt owned by the
Citizens featured herein}, and a performance of The Destruction Ritual;
also included is an interview with Magus Gilmore. A solid segment,
devoid of a pro-blindlight slant by the media as was typical in
presentations past.
However,
I must take issue with one inaccurate comment made by the narrator who
stated that Our major practice is 'The Black Mass' - not true. 'Le
Messe Noir' would be performed as the celebrant is moved to do so, as
it is a cathartic purging of any lingering blindlight influences, and
is furthermore, a ceremony {which serves to sustain}, not a ritual {which serves to attain}. The Satanist is more apt to perform rites dealing with Lust, Destruction, and Compassion, as desires manifest.
The
rest of the presentation was filled with magnificent hellish art from
Renaissance and per-rennaissance eras, including one of My favorites,
Dore', who illustrated Milton's Paradise Lost {I must say that the
piece on Milton's literature accurately depicted Satan as the prideful
rebel, glorious in countenance}; as well as Dante's Inferno, who
interjected personal 'demons' into his work, to regain the favor of The
Catholic Church after his ex-communication, by essentially
"ritualizing" his dark-subconscious in this fanciful fable which the
church took to their bosom.
Overall,
a well-put together 'documentary' on the nether-regions, and their
effects on the human psyche - i.e., scare them into church.
For those collectors of videographic Church of Satan history arcana, here is a collection of clips from the more outstanding media presentations featuring members of Our esteemed organization.
King Diamond speaks a bit on why most Heavy Metal fans do not commit suicide by listening to albums {From "Exposing Satan's Underground"}; raw footage previously un-aired thereon with interviewees Boyd Rice and Adam Parfrey; Rex Diabolos Church on The Montel Williams Show, which I fortunately had the Satanic Providence to have also previously recorded; Rice also on the "Christina" panel; Magistra Blanche Barton from The History Channel's "History's Mysteries: Cults", and A&E's "666: Sign of Evil" speaking about Dr. LaVey and reading the Nine Satanic Statements; High Priest Gilmore and High Priestess Nadramia for KK Magazine, a gem
of an interview segment in which he elaborates on the origins of Our Baphomet Sigil, along with social and aesthetic stratification; an al-fresco interview
for Polish TV in Central Park with the New York City skyline behind
him; a stint for the British "Conspiracies" series which featured Le Messe Noir at The Maninblack Grotto Lair, as well as raw footage previously un-aired from same in which the High Priest expounds primarily on Pentagonal Revisionism, and more.
The DVD includes information about The Church of Satan, Dr. LaVey, recommended texts, and promotional trailers.
I found this DVD to be a true delight, and considering
that one's VHS collection may have experienced some ware, it is
marvelous to possess this infernal compendium of undefiled wisdom which
preserves, compliments, and supplements one's own archives. Horns up to
Magister Paradise for making this available.
Splashing upon the screen tonight, a hand comes forth with the dreaded '666'
triumvirate scarred into flesh. The dreaded 'number of the beast' was
the topic of display, including surprisingly basic and ubiquitously
stuporstitious explanations of how it supposedly relates to Nero
Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler, the internet, and even former president
Ronald Wilson Reagan, the latter who just happened to have lived at a
triple six address for a time.
Bryan Moore and Heather Saenz made brief appearances,
although with very few exceptions, this tends to be the typical media
modus operandi, but is usually enough to get our message across. It was
a delight to see the "Sintennial" 6/6/6 Eve poster displayed thereon
however; and brief opinion statements were made by metal band Society One, inclusive of a display of demonic tattoos.
For some reason, the directors decided to focus an
excessive amount of time on some man in a wheelchair relating his
various misfortunes, who just so happened to be born in '66, where that
time could have been better used to include the ritual sequence
performed by Moore and Priestess Saenz, as well as more of the
interviews in this half-hour presentation.
Sneak peeks of the remake of The Omen
were shown {in My opinion, the actor playing Damien seemed a little too
gaunt}, with commentary by the director who related an interesting
story about how a portion of film was mysteriously destroyed during the
ending sequence wherein the 'Antichrist' birth mark is revealed. Could
it be true? In any case, it makes for great propaganda.
The other guests seemed rather inconsequential, and even
gratuitous, but the apocalyptic hellish artistry and dramatic music
were amusing.
HELL: Our Fear & Fascination
{VII/XIII/XLII A.S. 20/20}
Not since 20/20's "Devil Worshippers" program which instigated the 'Satanic Panic', has this show concisely
covered such diabolical subject matter; so now there appears "Hell: Our
Fear & Fascination", which aired on a Friday the 13th, attempting
to explain the current populace's arcane pre-occupation with The
Underworld, from literal to figurative.
What is Hell?
In a sort of "Hell: The Devil's Domain"
vain, this segment covers a brief visceral summery of various
religions' versions of Hell, and discusses the metaphorical etymology
of the origins of Gehenna.
To Hell and Back
Observes the mythological recall of the brain in a state
of stress. Features an interview with a person who claimed to have gone
through an N.D.E., or "near death experience", which is essentially a
hallucination, bringing various subconscious archetypes forth to a
dying brain.
The Face of Evil
Features a brief thirty second interview with Magus Gilmore speaking on the principle of Lex Talionis, and a display of some
wonderfully dramatic footage from The High Mass, inclusive of Diabolus Rex
immolating a parchment in the candle of destruction. It has been My
experience that even though our segments tend to be brief, that is
usually more than enough to express our point, as the undefiled wisdom
of the statements stand for themselves, from comments from those
legendary Satanis
interviews with Dr. LaVey, to those of our current representatives.
Plus, it may not necessarily be what the producers wish to showcase, as
they tend to focus on horror scenarios and the dualistic mindset,
rather than the Third Side perspective.
A needlessly extensive interview with a murderer
follows, a broken animal who committed needless crimes, tattooed with
cheap jailhouse ink, is where he belongs living out a living Hell
behind bars in pathetic abstinence, and whose interview was completely
predictable.
A Modern Heretic
Focuses on an ostracized preacher with an alternate
version of "Hell", where it is right here on earth - on this, it is
agreed. It is up to the individual to create whatever existence for
oneself, although his perspective deals with an earthly 'test' to
paradise beyond the grave...
Heaven and Hell are semantic terms describing personal
and worldly states of existence, nothing more. Religions of the past
created all manner of fantastical threat and promise to regulate their
congregations and keep the herd in line, at a time when church and
state were fused, the idea of a celestial overseer may have been
necessary to lull the simple populace, always at the determination of
king and clergy. This is no longer necessary in an increasingly
evolving culture, where the more evolved may focus on ethics, and law
enforcement devoid of external superstitions.
Journeys into Hope
Relations from three people who experienced severe and
brutal circumstances, from a raped nun, a former child soldier, and a
Holocaust survivor.
Overall, Hell: Our Fear & Fascination is a
rather topical report on this phobia, but does manage to display in a
basic sense, the shifting mentality of white-lighters towards more
agnostic definitions; as technology develops and reason incrementally
prevails, even these religions are becoming mere shadows of their
former fundamentalist selves, and even for the herd, that is certainly
evolutionary progress.
Inside The Church of Satan
{XLIII A.S., Shadowbox Entertainment; A documentary by Joshua P. Warren, 2+ hrs.}
Arriving
at The Haunted Noctuary today, in a non-descript package containing a
treasure in our history - over 2 hours of uncensored material covering
events both at Black House North and visitations with several members
in NYC, including extensive interviews with Magus Gilmore {another
delightfully-thoughtful exchange with The High Priest; particularly
amusing was the question about being 'The Antichrist'!}, Reverend
Christopher Mealie, Witch Stephanie Crabe {Motel Bizarre}, the ever-misanthropic Magister David Harris {Satanism Today}, the elegantly erudite Magister Lang, Magistra Diana DeMagis {the "Horny In Hell's Kitchen" apron is priceless}, Reverend Akula, and Musician Warlock Eric {HellofAllHells}.
Beginning with a listing of Our basics, and Halloween celebrations with some
locals, the majority of the presentation centers around footage of
touring about Magister Lang's superb Lair {except the exterior, to
avoid possible bigotry}, building towards The Rite of Ragnarok Ritual from The Satanic Scriptures,
with delightful glimpses into some of the many themed rooms of Black
House North, where we also get to meet the resident hellhound Freya.
There's the impressive Egyptian Library {spotted is the Dr. LaVey
statue by Arkham Studios, a painting of Vlad Tepes, a Markus Mayer sculpture, several books on Rasputin, and a sarcophagus bookshelf containing an extensive collection of Lovecraftian bibliography}, the woodland bedroom, a room of angles and geometric shapes, the amusing Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe bathroom, and of course, via a secret panel, the elaborate Ritual
Chamber which has an even deeper secret room within through coffins
{"backstage", as it were}. A great touch, considering 'The Red Room' at
Dr. LaVey's Black House was accessed through a sarcophagus. Along with
a marvelous trapezoidal pillar and actual pitchforks framing The
Baphomet, there's Coop's
Church of Satan poster, the Magister James "Sinister Minister" Mitchell
action figure, and a painting of Our Founder decorates this Inner
Sanctum.
Finally, amidst somber candlelight gleaming upon the
Sowulo rune pentagram on one side, and Fenris on the other, the ritual
begins with the ringing of the bell, and to the martial drumming of
Warlock Eric, Magister Lang utters potent enunciation of destruction
and regeneration echoing through the darkened room, yielding a flawless
performance by all participants.*
Other moments include a satirical invocation by Warren
himself, with Special features including a 'sacrifice' parody of The
Satanic Panic hysteria.
Overall, this professional, impartial presentation
displays the varied personalities and projects contained within Our
Cabal, with proper unexpurgated representations of our philosophy, sans
the typical inaccurate spins of sensationalizing 'journalists', which
is why Mr. Warren was selected. A truly unique documentary which will
hopefully inspire others in kind.
Hail Loki! Hail Satan!
_________
* Personally,
instead of the occasional night vision mode, I would have opted for
more dark-sensitive cameras and/or a small bit brighter lighting {a-la
Satanis / Speak of The Devil}, to capture this historic event.
The Secret Lives of Women: The Occult {WEtv; 16 September, XLIII A.S.}
Priestess Heather Saenz is featured in this presentation about women from all
walks of life - in this case, those involved in The Occult.
Showcasing
their Lair in Carlsbad, CA with Moore, she takes a drive
around the neighborhood in their elegant black hearse, and takes a
stroll up the street, as well as performances of a romantic Compassion
ritual, and an invigorating Destruction ritual. The hearse as well as
Priestess Saenz herself definitely display the Lighthouse Effect in
such a seemingly wholesome, though charming location by the ocean.
Relaxing in the living room with Moore, she reading from The Satanic Bible, discussing points of our philosophy was particularly pleasant as well. Also displayed was Moore at work in the studio completing the H.P. Lovecraft tribute statue. As one who possesses the Anton LaVey tribute statue, I can attest to the exquisite detailing and quality of his work. The couple compliment each other well, very notable as they dance together
while gazing into each other's eyes, is truly a touching sight to
behold.
Along with
Satanism, there was also a so-called 'vampire' / dominatrix {stereotypical type hanging around in a graveyard} , and a weakan {some gnome-like female creature}, diminishing drastically in comparison to the sexy and vivacious Satanic Witch, who definitely stole the show.
First Family of Satanism
In this video presentation, Bob Larson proclaims
his "war" on Satanism, as golden crosses and money signs fill his eyes
with monetary prospects of such "good vs. evil" scenarios, which is
typical christian dualism. But We do not play by their rules, not do we
play their games unless amused to do so.
At that time, the late 80's / early 90's, in the wake of
Geraldo Rivera's "special" "Devil Worship: Exposing Satan's
Underground" sensationalistic media fodder, Zeena 'LaVey' and Nikolas
Schreck were the official Church of Satan representatives, countering
Larson's erroneous accusations and jibing, attempting to trap Satanists
into some kind of inconsistent admittance of advocating senseless
murder and cruelty for nothing's sake, even though The Satanic Bible
itself explains these subjects in full. At least he did have the said
text beside him, along with the moldy babble, picking selected passages
from each to justify his christian propaganda, always attempting to
preserve his own personal fetishistic fantasies of murder, rape,
Hitler, and Charles Manson - the latter two in particular, he seems to
have a fascination with.
From the get-go, Larson implies that Dr. LaVey was not
being "intellectually honest" by remaining in selective seclusion from
the herd, but was answered solidly that it was simply no longer
necessary, as his past media representations and written words are
quite sufficient. These insights visibly irritated Larson, as he could
not argue against this truth. Indeed, throughout the video, Larson is
visibly stumped and frustrated on several occasions, as his convenient
and delusional conclusions are thwarted at every turn with honesty and
undefiled logic.
Other questions consisted of Satanic Music, as Schrek's
band and King Diamond were mentioned. Although with some exceptions,
preference for Classical music seems to be the consensus of many
Satanists.
In one comedic moment, Larson actually tries to gain
Zeena's compassion for the dregs of the world, solely because she
happens to be female, who according to Larson, have "more compassionate
natures". She giggled at this - yet another under-handed attempt to set
one against the other.
The question of what The Church of Satan's stance on
homosexuality came forth, to which the point was made that anyone
demonstrating themselves as The Elite are accepted into active
membership roles, regardless of sexual orientation - and the question
is furthermore, irrelevant.
Throughout the entire interview, the Satanists held
their ground, although The Satanic Bible pretty much speaks for itself.
There was more evidence of Larson's selective thinking, merely picking
and choosing particular selections in attempts to ratify his
foolosophy.
In another mentionable moment, the statement was made
that christianity needs Satanism, whereas we do not need christianity
{read Satanic Statement #9}, as the Satanic Individual has always been
throughout history by whatever name called, as well as the various
slave/peasant blindlight religions.
The rest of the interview consisted on the definition of
"good and evil", as Larson did not seem to get it into his head that
Satanists do not ultimately believe in such concepts, but at the same
time understand the herd's need for such simplistic explanations in
their primitive thought process, and the possible entertaining
manipulative implications thereof. However, if there is any type of
terminological consideration to the Satanist, Dr. LaVey writes in The
Devil's Notebook, "Good is what you like. Evil is what you don't like."
Precisely.
It was also mentioned that journalists had been
comparing Dr. LaVey with the likes of Rasputin, which was not at all
surprising, as the general philosophies are similar.
As is typical, Larson was persistent in his ignorance.
Satanic opinion and observation disturb him greatly, as is demonstrated
in the concluding statements after the interview was done, alone with
the camera in his studio, that "Satan's Evil Plan" and "The Satanic
Century" cannot prevail, quoting some ubiquitous scripture. He was
again visibly defeated, resorting to nothing more than accessing the
fears of the herd, which is understandable, considering that he is
ultimately a businessman, as are all of these 'evangelists'. Living
opulently in his mansion, he depends on those very fears to keep him in
a job.
VI/I\XXXVI: Weird Worlds - Rites of Passage
TLC presented a program on the coming of age & initiation, & included therein, Satan's Cheerleaders as well as "The First Church of Satan".
First off, a new initiate is
being introduced into 'Satan's Cheerleaders', a diabolically
enthusiastic for-hire team who shake their pom-poms for the King of
Hell. With huge red vinyl 666's emblazoned on their small shiny black
uniforms, & each one sporting a pentagram, &/or inverted cross,
these six lovely & lively young ladies state "we want to give bad
girls a good name". Sinisterly fetishistic outfits & all, which
they claim to never remove {that's dedication!}, "Trixi Stix" leads the
girls in a ceremony to welcome a new daughter of darkness into the fold
- "Ruby Lamb" {who is also the webmistress for their site}, a hellfire
red-haired cutie donned in a pink initiatory outfit, who will soon
replace that bunnyish attire for the trademark 'hell wear' of SC. Parts
of the ceremony include 'drinking the blood of a virgin boy &
virgin girl' from a chalice, sanguine-erotically dripping from the lips
of another cheerleader into the neophyte's; taking in the fires of Hell
{"the fires of 'Our Father'" (sic)}, via flaming marsh mellows skewered
on a makeshift pitchfork; & the anointing with her first 666
insignia in blood {collected from "one of the corrupted brothers" - a
tribally-adorned / tattooed "modern-primitive" type with a split tongue
blood lets into a receptacle} on her chest; all before a podium/altar
complete with vampire skull. Towards the conclusion of the rite, the
girls synchronistically gyrate to what sounds like a song from "The
Cramps", then let forth a mighty yell, which is the cue for Ruby Lamb
to arise & join in the fun. And that is what SC is about after all
- having fun.
As an addition, I would
have enjoyed seeing a common variation of the cheerleader, preferably a
blonde one, to keep in the legendary, satanistic "blonde
virgin" depiction of a "sacrifice" chained down to a platform - perhaps
this theatrical concept could be used in a subsequent video.
In a white room rendered
pinkish by lighting in his apartment, a baptism rite recited verbatim from Dr. LaVey's Satanic Mass recording.
All in attendance are frocked in black robes, & standing before him
is a mother with her daughter, also in a black robe, in her arms. The
ceremony is enunciated rather effeminately complete with facial
expressions to match. The small Baphomet is on red background, & a
small white & gold dragonesque dagger is used for the modified
invocation. On the red altar is a pentagram tile, upon which rests a
triple-lunar stand with crystal ball, a satyr statuette surrounded by
black candles, & a skull incensor sold at Hot Topic.
Also included, a
weakanesque belly-dancing group affirms the female stages of life of
"maiden, mother, crone." Although I would have to say that these are
some of the more attractive ones I've seen, as most Belly-dancers tend
to be.
The rest of the program deals with secular "rites of passage" in varying avenues, including the armed forces.
For the
past week, VH1 has presented the so-called "most shocking moments in
Rock & Roll", hosted by a "Mark McGraff" - who appears to be
another trendoid stinker, whom MM shot in the rump with a BB Gun,
because, as MM stated, he makes it alright for the sheeple to dress in
wife-beaters & baggy pants {essentially, what appears to be
underwear} - as I have written before, most of this whole presentation
displayed nothing really of pertinence except for the segment on
Marilyn Manson. I received a notification of this program via an email
- My eyes were automatically drawn to the words "Church of Satan" as
part of the list. I thought it rather amusing that it was so far back
in the list, considering it mentioned a modern-day major musical icon
as connected with our organization - almost like they're trying to
'hide' the fact that someone the herd listens to, even if for only the
music, could be seriously connected to Satanism. Indeed, several
programs have tried to hide the topic of Satanism by rescheduling
certain presentations without notice, & sometimes not even
mentioning it when a certain program will be on {such as the Discovery
Channel's "Weird Worlds" airing of 'Cults', in which Rex Church & HP Barton were shown participating in a ritual at the AOS}. In
this, however, I have been fortunate, in that I seem to catch most of
the documentaries by 'chance', or shall we say, "Diabolical
Machinations", or "Satanic Synchronicity".
This one had a span of
about 3 minutes, but in that time, the images of Dr. LaVey {as
mentioned in "The Secret Life Of A Satanist" by Blanche Barton as "The
Devil's High Priest", the cover image of same, & the picture of Dr.
LaVey standing with Manson from his book "The Long Hard Road Out of
Hell"} were presented, accompanied by what sounded like a recorder,
along with a smoke-explosion manifestation of Dr. LaVey's face when
mention of his meeting with Manson was briefly recounted, when LaVey
just "appeared". Again, the details of this are related in Manson's
book.
A couple of commentators
attempted to downplay Satanism with their shallow misconception of the
philosophy {indeed, they were probably not even aware that there is
one, as they were absolutely clueless, as their 'understanding'
probably goes no further than a comic-book perception as presented by
christianity} - a female commentator was visibly disturbed, &
attempted to giggle away her obvious confusion by stating that it was
"so...1975", in that certain floppy-headed bunnyish manner - yes, The
Church of Satan was around in 1975, & is still alive & thriving
today. There is actually a book called "The Satanic Bible" which was
also in publication in 1975, & continues to be a best-seller today!
A poopstar named "Moby" stated that "what would the Prince of Darkness
be doing with a bunch of goth-kids in the basement?" I think the answer
to that is blatantly obvious - Marilyn Manson as an individual & as
a band went on to become a world-impacting entity, just as Dr. LaVey
predicted. Only one of the commentators did not go on to embarrassingly
show herself to be so ignorantly visceral, as she actually did
accurately state in a round-about way that MM did not desire to
'worship' a guy with horns, but essentially resonated with a largely
anti-christian viewpoint, countering the hypocrisy, repressive
strictures, & mind-numbing foolosophy that christianity espouses.
So, I say at least VH1
had the testicular fortitude to present this segment, but the
commentaries made by fluffballs only further demonstrated that people
essentially hate &/or critique Satanism based upon what they do not
know, nor comprehend, instead of stating an educated opinion based upon
fact. These are mediocre hacks & marginally-talented, assembly-line
pseudo-'musicians', not intellectuals, who should not be taken in any
way seriously. Do yourselves a favor - before making yourselves look
like complete idiots again in the future, read a little about the
subject at hand before regurgitating common ignorant assumptions.
Other interesting
manifestations of Satanic expression as seen in the secular media were
present in the events of Sinead O'Connor's denunciation of Pope John
Paul II, in that infamous tearing-apart of his picture on SNL {a Black
Mass moment}, which gained her quite a bit of infamy - the drones were
shown booing her at a Bob Dylan tribute concert {which only sadly
displays the sheeple's mass brainwashing by the Catholic Church - it is
far better to allow them to adhere to their slave religions, than to
attempt to enlighten them, as they will most likely remain the rotten
organisms they are}, her heart may have been in the correct place, but
her humanitarian efforts were lost on the contagion of ingrates, who
will continue to subject themselves to the cross, & other various
blindlight faiths.
Madonna's daring &
blasphemous portrayal of a nubile girl who falls in love with St.
Martin DePorres, who comes alive & copulates with her, amidst
scenes of burning crosses. And not to mention her early 90's release of
her Sex book, which explored various taboos which helped shock the
populace onto some evolution of human sexuality & awareness. Even
though I do not personally care for the music, as it is rather bland
& feeds into mass trendoid-mentality, her very name does display a
rather sacrilegious suggestion that the name of a religious icon of
ersatz virginity can be taken by an oversexed performer.
Ozzy Osbourne's infamous
mastication-decapitation of a dove, then later a bat, which earned him
the carnivorous madman nomenclature.
Alice Cooper's chicken massacre,
in which someone had tossed a live chicken onto the stage, Cooper threw
it back, not realizing that chickens do in fact not fly, as it
plummeted into the audience, was torn apart, & its pieces thrown
back onto the stage. This was the event that launched him onto the
world scene. After which, he was playing at huge venues.
This all goes to show that the
iconoclast, in whatever original & individualistic artistic
expression who goes beyond the commonly accepted ground, will cause an
evolutionary vibration, incrementally modifying culture & society.
It is known that "'Evil', that is to say, all that is attributed to The
Devil, or expressions of revolution or blasphemy, by whatever name,
remains a catalyst for change.
History's Mysteries: Cults - VIII/XIV\XXXV - The History Channel - 8pm
A nicely made documentary on
the development of religious movements. The introductory animations
show Dr. LaVey speaking on sexual freedom with a blended spliced screen
from scenes of Satanis. The left hand scene speaking, the right-hand
screen performing a ceremony from therein.
Presented in this program, are the histories of
blindlight cults, who grow in membership until eventually regarded as
religions. ALL religions start out as cults. If you gather a large
enough flock of sheep, you have a conventional religion.
A segment starts it all off on the Dionysian
societies of ancient Greece, from which some of our Satanic roots can
be traced. These were people who loved life in a decadent, luxurious,
& indulgent manner, giving full vent to natural erotic desires.
These were a pure people, in & of themselves, unaffected by the
whiteplague that was to come.
An analysis of "The Assassins" {segment
introduction by HP Barton}, an early Islamic sect, is elucidated upon,
explaining the definition of that group, as being derived from its
membership ingesting hallucinogens {hashish} to be "receptive" to
"Lord Helix". However, the definition sprung from the homicidal actions,
rather than the "spiritual" practices of the group.
The "Gnostics", definition derived from
"revealed knowledge", are studied, & identified as the first
heretics from the christian religion. Where the common christians
believed in revelations straight from "Lord Helix". The Gnostics asserted
"Lord Helix" dispensed wisdom from the heavens straight to them. They, like
the conventional christians, identified eachother with cryptic symbols.
Where the christians had their fish, the gnostics identified eachother
by their tattoos.
The Puritan cults are studied next, & their
expulsion from England to the Americas. But even amongst their society,
there arose their own heretics, called the "shakers", who were
completely asexual, who derived their name by their practice of
"shaking" during ceremonial expressions of "communication" with "Lord Helix",
accompanied by the "speaking in tongues" babble, much like the fundies
of the day.
The People's Temple, Jim Jones' Christian death-cult, is portrayed herein, as well as David Koresh's "Branch Davidians" - both of which ended in genocide. The former, by poisonous
strawberry cool-aid {a friend commented he received the impression of
the Cool-aid man with crosses for eyes}, & the latter, by
immolation. Also, a segment about "Heaven's Gate" - that xoid-newage cult who aimed to meet an alien named "Bird Jesus" on a space-ship, as heralded by the Hale-Bopp comet. All three manifested
their doomsday. Good riddance!
Then the Mormons
are discussed, with their roots in polygamy. Only in Utah are they
regarded as a mainstream religion. The denominations which still
practice polygamy are now regarded as outcasts from the majority.
A brief history of the Christian fantasy of
devil-worship from the Spanish Inquisition to the "witch-burnings"
begins the segment on Satanism. I was pleased to see there was no
mention of weaka. From there, some biographical information on Aleister Crowley, featuring some rare, & some classic photographs. The formation of the O.T.O., & the press' dubbing him "the wickedest man in the world".
Then on to The Church of Satan,
with an interview with HP Barton, looking very sultry, relating the
Magic Circle genesis of CoS, & proudly reading The Nine Satanic
Statements from her book, "The Church of Satan", in a rather seductive
tone. Behind her, The Baphomet sigil lighted by a candlearium of black
candles. Besides "Satanis: The Devil's Mass", scenes from "Speak of The
Devil: The Canon of Anton LaVey" are shown, recounting Dr.'s diabolical
evilution. Obviously, the difference between blindlight scripture &
foolosophy, & Satanic text is undefiled wisdom. During the
segment break, the host did manage to mention, in a noticeably
disturbed manner, CoS as an officially recognized RELIGION by the
government & the Army.
Overall, the program accurately portrayed the
subjects at hand. Truthfully displaying the blindlighters as
unbalanced, rotten, & psychotic. The representation of Satanism was
accurate, allowing the Satanic viewpoint expression without hackjobs
& underhanded intent. Actors were even employed to dramatically
portray the rite of The Black Mass. The guest Theologians &
"experts" presented a relatively objective view on the subject, devoid
of satanophobic symptoms.
From what I have seen thusfar, besides actual
documentaries produced by Satanists, this is the most factual
exemplification of Satanic philosophy by the secular media to date. A
must for collectors of Church of Satan history.
A&E presented a
three-part episode of "The Unexplained", which dealt with the sinister
effects of the number of the best {no typo}, & Satanism.
6 ~ Story 1: Route 666, Cortez County, Colorado
The effects of this diabolical number upon the
minds of the local residents. An obscure highway in the middle of the
desert called "The Devil's Highway", or "El Camino De El Diablo".
The story centers on three fugitives who went
on a GTA & shooting spree, killing one officer, & wounding a
couple of others, then disappearing into the nearby canyons by Route
666, within Indian reservation limits. A month later, one of the
suspects reappeared, committing suicide.
Local Amerinds tell of "skinwalkers" {angry
spirits of dead warriors/medicine men} who place curses on enemies,
& those who drive on Route 666, who never received proper Navaho
burials.
In addition to this, Route 666 has been plagued
by a plethora of car collisions, & in the 80's over 100 people were
killed, 1/3 of them pedestrians. Could it be... Satan?
6~ Story 2: The Devil Car
A Scottish gentleman acquires a Ford Escort
with the license plate number of 'B666MSC'. He began experiencing a
series of misfortunes almost immediately, as if the car was cursed to
begin with.
One. Police begin pulling him over more often; he received tickets in the mail for traffic violations he cannot recall.
Two. His business goes belly-up.
Three. His relationship goes sour. His wife
kicks him out of the house after discovering his philandering, &
preoccupation with the automobile.
Four. The car is stolen. Recovered three days
later in perfect condition, with nothing stolen, in front of a nearby
Police station.
Five. Is arrested, spends ten hours in jail for
crimes committed by the owner of his former car who did not list his
own name on the ownership papers.
Six. Finally deciding that all this misfortune
is because of the 'Devil car', & bending to peer-pressure, he is on
his way back to the dealer when he is in a car collision, just a block
away. There is no car insurance because he let it lapse. Had he gotten
in the collisions merely two hours earlier, he would have been covered.
Six incidents in six months. The subconscious
effects of this "evil" number, is very much like the dreaded '13' in
its mental potency. Was this all due to poor judgements? A subconscious
self-fulfilling prophesy & subsequent realization? Maybe the car
was previously owned by a Satanist? The inevitable question arises ---
why didn't he just change the number? Well, in the United Kingdom,
license plate numbers cannot be legally changed after being sold the
first time. What you see is what you get.
This case brings to mind another curious
incident, if not a rather laughable one, of a xian mother going
ballistic over her child's social security number, which included a
666. Just stuporstition... or is it?
6 ~ Story Three: Satanism
This segment included commentaries &
elucidations by HP Blanche Barton, Mgr. Peter Gilmore, William &
Ygraine Gidney, as well as the history of The Church of Satan & Dr.
Anton LaVey.
Scenes & dialogue from Satanic ceremonies
& rituals were shown, performed by Rev. Andre Schlesinger, amongst
a gathering of CoS members.
An interview with Ygraine Gidney explained her
Satanic realization, her meeting with the Dr., in Year XXVII A.S, with
her husband, Mr. Gidney.
This program gave an accurate account of Our
philosophy, & allowed for accurate portrayals, as well as generous
time for explanations. A strong addition to CoS history.
Some factual information about The Church of Satan and founder. Distinction made between The Religion, The Philosophy, and ignorant social hysteria.
Most all of the founding fathers were members of The Hellfire Club {UK & US}, de-facto Satanists. Indulging the pleasures of the flesh while blaspheming the xian church through purging Black Masses, which was their true disposition, in thought and deed, interjecting Satanic ideology into the republic, which was originally meant to be a meritocracy. Against typical hypocrisy and innate non-sensical mandates. They would have been for a United Satanic America! While common whitelight religions were invented to control and manipulate the rabble.
In a ritualistic / ceremonial / religious sense, at the time, Masons were effectual to preserve Solomonic traditions, which has since become watered-down as another blindlight church social club and political repository. Now true diabolism may be expressed in The Church of Satan. [see Satanism Through The Ages]
Aleister Crowley was an Thelemic ceremonial magician, involved in various occult systems, who tipped his hat to The Devil. Principles involving Sex Magic are sound. In some cases regarding narcotics, became compulsive. Regarding animal 'sacrifices', flesh should be consumed afterwards. As per the 10th Rule of The Earth.
In most cases, "Exorcism & Possession" is a manifestation of repression via psycho-sexual interplay, while some very select cases may involve empathic influence, while other cases demonstrate sublimated humanimal rebellion against xian oppression. Also resembles states of ecstasy achieved through meditation. Invitation to demonic forces would result in a rebirth, or baptismal dynamic, awakening natural bestial impulses. ∞
Speak of The Devil | Satanis | Into The Devil's Den | American Satan | Mansfield 666
splendid documentary on the evolution of The Church of Satan throughout the Age of Fire, from its founding origins heralded by LaVey through to Gilmore, some rare archival photographs & footage, with interviews with several of the interesting personalities contained therein. Blanche Barton, The Gilmores amidst Black House Beast, Ruth Waytz, doll-maker/collector & Metal musician couple Marilyn & Zoth, plus various Writers, artists, musicians, models, dancers, a myriad of performers gracing this shadowy organization of productive individualists, eccentrics, unconventional conventionalists, the alien elite!
DOCumentary on Satanic Witch Jayne Mansfield's rise to stardom, on the hell heels of Mae West, with a primary focus on her involvement with LaVey & The Church of Satan. The proof is all there in photographic and documented evidence. Her impact on & the utilization of the feminine mystique which ran counterculture to homogenized enmasculated hippie variants - 2 sides of the same coin.*
The
presentation begins with a stern warning, that some viewers may find
content disturbing, as it deals with controversial images and subject
matter - so right away, one's curiosity and expectation is piqued. - it
should at least be quite dramatic - and it is. Rendered in a style
reminiscent of Geraldo's Exposing Satan's Underground,
which was basically a sensationalistic nerve-tapper focusing more on
urban legends than actual Satanism, although the few minutes of Our
actual philosophy demonstrated tends to be more than enough to get the
message across, and really stands upon its own merit - ironically, it
may prove to be far more intellectually disturbing to the viewer, and
the journalism source than the lurid accounts of blood and gore
fabricated to gain attention. The dichotomy of displaying those alleged
criminal acts perpetrated by stoned metalheads garnering their
foolosophical misinformation from albums and horror films, versus that
of actual representatives of The Church of Satan
can be quite engaging, and in My opinion, further goes to exemplify the
difference between devil-worship and true Satanism; plus, it seems to
add more of a mysterious and dangerous connotation, which adds an extra
exciting element overall. As a matter of fact, it is rather "fun" to
view these types of "shockumentaries" wherein we know where the truth
lies, like a black diamond in the rough.
By
far, the high points consist of Magistra Barton countering some of the
common claims made by the ignorant, as well as offering enlightening
and educated commentary about the Satanic religion, with scenes of an
impressive ritual sequence conducted by this very writer.
Apparently, the producers slummed and also filmed with some pseudo-Dome Fossilists who add to the urban mythology about cult sacrifice by claiming knowledge
of such, plus they look like hippie-Goth clowns to boot. For the
record, whoever they are, they are in no way connected to The Church of
Satan, and are definitely out of their league. They embarrass
themselves well.
A
surprisingly more in-depth look at the mythological history of Hell
from various belief-systems, including Jewish, Muslim and Buddhist
depictions, as well as the ever-present christian accounts. It seems
that the media have expanded their research much more, including
de-facto Satanists Mark Twain {book: Letters From The Earth} and
Benjamin Franklin, with accounts of the Hellfire Club of early America.
The ubiquitous "witch" tryals were discussed, the SRA urban legend,
"possession" {Catholic and fundamentalist christian tales}, and
devil-worship, serial killer criminality, with various theologians and
authors including Dennis Prager, speaking on the simplistic "good and
evil" dualities; but the cream of the crop came towards the end of the
program in the segment entitled "Friends of The Devil", which displayed
scenes from Satanis {with a brief clip of Dr. LaVey from those
legendary interviews}, Speak of The Devil, and showed hard-cover copies
of The Satanic Bible and The Satanic Rituals {no doubt owned by the
Citizens featured herein}, and a performance of The Destruction Ritual;
also included is an interview with Magus Gilmore. A solid segment,
devoid of a pro-blindlight slant by the media as was typical in
presentations past.
For those collectors of videographic Church of Satan history arcana, here is a collection of clips from the more outstanding media presentations featuring members of Our esteemed organization.
![Inside The Church of Satan [insert]](https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/dblackthorne/1841537/57317/57317_600.jpg)
Arriving
at The Haunted Noctuary today, in a non-descript package containing a
treasure in our history - over 2 hours of uncensored material covering
events both at Black House North and visitations with several members
in NYC, including extensive interviews with Magus Gilmore {another
delightfully-thoughtful exchange with The High Priest; particularly
amusing was the question about being 'The Antichrist'!}, Reverend
Christopher Mealie, Witch Stephanie Crabe {Motel Bizarre}, the ever-misanthropic Magister David Harris {Satanism Today}, the elegantly erudite Magister Lang, Magistra Diana DeMagis {the "Horny In Hell's Kitchen" apron is priceless}, Reverend Akula, and Musician Warlock Eric {HellofAllHells}.
In this video presentation, Bob Larson proclaims
his "war" on Satanism, as golden crosses and money signs fill his eyes
with monetary prospects of such "good vs. evil" scenarios, which is
typical christian dualism. But We do not play by their rules, not do we
play their games unless amused to do so.
