Speak of the Devil presents Third Side Intelligence - Toxic Masculinity

Speak of the Devil presents Third Side Intelligence – Toxic Masculinity

Speak of the Devil presents Third Side Intelligence. This month, Reverend Campbell is being joined by Aura DeWolfe and Aden Ardennes to discuss toxic masculinity. We will be joined as usual with an Enlightened Perspective from Citizen Patrick DeMarco and some thoughts from D.A. Marshall. Is toxic masculinity a reality? If so, is there toxic femininity? If gender identities are deeply held ideas, can behaving within the constraints of that identity ever be considered toxic? We will explore where the term comes from, what it is used for, and what it actually means. Sign Up to the Email List Subscribe […]

TSI: Thanks, But No Thanks by Magus Peter H. Gilmore

Thanks, But No Thanks

We’ve noted that some secularists in Nebraska have decided to combat their local Adams County Board of Supervisors’ decision to post a sign with the vapid slogan “In God We Trust” in the county courthouse by offering an alternative sign which would list our founder Anton LaVey’s text for “The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth.” Now, that initial slogan was pasted on to U.S. paper currency in 1957 and was intended as a rebuttal to what was perceived as the threat of “godless communism.” As Satanists who understand that all deities are myths, to us it is an empty […]

Rise of "The Satanic Unease"

The Rise of “The Satanic Unease” by Magus Peter H. Gilmore

The Rise of “The Satanic Unease” Devil worship has long been used by writers of fiction and makers of moving images as a choice from moldy rosters of “quick and easy villainy and excitement.” A silent 1928 porn short made in France titled Messe Noir depicts a female neophyte’s ritual initiation into a “Satanic Cult” with explicit scenes of ritual sex meant to stimulate viewers with something forbidden. That began the cavalcade of Devil cults appearing in films and TV shows, a phenomenon that seems to come in waves, often when there are societal tensions and widespread xenophobia. Pervasive fears […]

AHS: Apocalypse and Anton LaVey

I had ceased watching American Horror Story after its third season since experiencing its incoherent plotting and inconsistent writing I found a waste of my time. Granted, there are some striking visuals and the acting of people like Jessica Lange, Frances Conroy and Sarah Paulson is exemplary (others, not so much). However, in this eighth season, a mashup of earlier seasons now spinning a yarn about the aftermath of a nuclear war caused by the Anti-Christ, I had to sit through an episode as it mentioned the organization I’ve been running for over 17 years, and its founder, Anton Szandor […]

Third Side Intelligence - Are We What We Create by Reverend Campbell

Third Side Intelligence: Are We What We Create?

As a Satanic content creator, I am constantly thinking about how what I produce effects others’ understanding and perception of Satanism as a religion. From the essays I write which are shared throughout social media to the videos I produce that are liked and commented on, I try to represent Satanism in the way I perceive it. But what am I saying about myself in the process? Do people consume this content and believe they are in some way connecting with me as an individual? By consuming this content are they in part accepting the responsibilities of its creator, me—my […]
