INDEPENDENCE DAY Today we mark the anniversary of The Declaration of Independence, when we traitorous colonials told the monarch of Britain that the 13 states were united and free of foreign rule. Our founders intended this new union to be a secular republic—a very rare thing! Americans now popularly use this day, or the nearby weekend, as a means to enjoy a summer holiday with convivial gatherings, barbecues, and evening fireworks displays. Commercial enterprises lure folks toward capitalist excess with varied discounts for their wares and services. While we Satanists partake, or refrain, from all of this as we please, […]

Welcome to another noisy and drunk episode! The Ringmaster is joined again by Storm Anderson and has the pleasure of being introduced to the wonderful Steve Nosack from Kilted Entertainment. Basking in the glow of the resurrected Halloween in Summer festival we discuss handing over the reigns, the pressures and expectations involved and how to put your own stamp on something without straying too far from the original idea.
Today, many Satanists join those celebrating the anniversary of the riots which ignited societal change towards accepting LGBTQ individuals as part of society—to no longer being subject to legal imprisonment and vile exploitation because of their sexual orientation. The Church of Satan’s philosophy accepted all forms of human sexuality between consenting adults from its inception in 1966—one of the few organized religions at the time to take that stance. Satanists consider pride, individualism, and liberty to be fundamental to our philosophy. Then as now, we embrace many who were stigmatized as being outsiders, championing the freedom to follow their nature […]
“It’s said that the Devil is in the details. Enki has proven that he knows the Devil, and he certainly is a man of details. He has taken great pains to make sure his past efforts have accurately reflected The Black House, and the results were startling. Now he’s moving us into the Front Ritual Chamber, so that we can all feel what it was like to stand in that unhallowed space, the roots of which, Dr. LaVey declared, stretched all the way to Hell. “Our originating High Priest felt strongly that accurate details, stimulating aesthetics, and potent emotions resulted […]

SUPERLATIVE SOLSTICE! From our garden here at The Black House—flourishing from copious recent rainfalls, we offer Solstice greetings to all in harmony with the Earth’s seasonal changes! In the Northern Hemisphere we embrace the longest day of the year as sultry Summer begins. Those in the Southern Hemisphere mark the longest night as Winter begins its gelid dominion. Wherever on this wondrous planet you might be, it is always a delight to celebrate the glories of nature and the abundant pleasures that life offers! Here’s to a splendid new season filled with indulgence galore! —Magus Peter H. Gilmore
“Donny Fee Mama” The latest Candyboy single on the occasion of the Summer Solstice: “My new mask is inspired by a Hollywood killer doll. I used it in my last ritual psychodrama, from which emerged a very emotional side of my psyche. I do not consider this track as rock or metal, though I used electric guitar. Rather, it is a classical revival in a new manner. I quote several classical composers such as Rimsky-Korsakov at the beginning, Dyens in the middle, and Bach’s Bourée at the end, all blended with Paganini’s arpeggio style… it’s a real crossover! “I had been […]
