The Liberty Posters by Ragnar Redbeard & Benjamin DeCasseres Now Available

Underworld Amusements proudly presents two posters from two of their published authors, Benjamin DeCasseres and Ragnar Redbeard, approaching American Liberty at two different angles. ORDER NOW   Benjamin DeCasseres personifies America in an unironic celebration of the history of the nation titled “I Am the United States.” DeCasseres was a thorough-going anti-German, and this poster, originally released by the National Republic magazine in the 1940s, was his drum-beat to go to war against the totalitarian states abroad. Our new edition was scanned from the original and colorized. The second approach to Liberty, by “Might is Right” author Ragnar Redbeard, advocates not war […]

Seeking Justice: On Accountability and Transparency by Reverend Joel Ethan

Those familiar with Satanism, clearly articulated in decades of our literature, should understand our philosophy’s stance regarding the murder of an innocent man and the abuse of power currently being protested across the country—we find it appalling. We recognize the historical importance of recent events and, in the same way the Stonewall Uprising ignited societal change, we consider these actions will possibly lead to a more accountable system of justice. …The Church of Satan has always made it clear that a Satanist’s politics should be their own. We refuse to treat our membership like brainless sheep, in desperate need of […]

Church of Satan Sigil of Baphomet

Wicked Walpurgisnacht!  The High Priest and I extend our warmest wishes for Walpurgisnacht to Satanists everywhere, and to the world at large. Tonight we celebrate over five decades of standing against herd conformity and thought, and against the strictures of slave religions that wish to tell their constituents who they should and must be.  It’s been a long, cold winter here in the Northeast where we make our home. Now that the ice and snow have let go their hold on our natural environment, it’s impossible not to notice the annual signs of renewal and how they inspire our own […]

Church of Satan Sigil of Baphomet

CHURCH OF SATAN CELEBRATES RELIGIOUS FREEDOM DAY  The Church of Satan has openly offered an individualist, atheism-based, carnal alternative to the world’s spiritual doctrines for the past 51 years and we expect to be able to continue welcoming fellow iconoclasts for centuries to come. Many of our members find it relevant to embrace today’s American national holiday, for it stands as a challenge to any one belief system enforcing hegemony over others as well as the bigotry of “one true way” believers.  In the past and present, our adherents have been met with hostility because of their chosen philosophy, hence supporting […]

Church of Satan Sigil of Baphomet

10 Questions About Happiness: Rev. M.A Mandrake Satanism is no different than other religions in the sense that it’s members are seeking happiness. The only difference between Satanism and many other main-stream religions is the emphasis of worship: while other religions place an emphasis on deities and higher powers, Satanism places the emphasis on the Self – the idea that we are, essentially, our own Gods. Satanism is a highly individualistic religion that supports indulgence and freedom, but also a mutual respect for other individuals.I reached out to “The Church of Satan” in hope to interview one of their members, […]
