The Winter Solstice is again upon we denizens of the Northern Hemisphere. Nature’s cycling is inspiring, always to be respected, and as our days at last begin to lengthen, the gelid outdoors contrast with our cozy indoor spaces here at The Black House in the Haunted Hudson Valley. We enjoy having a Yule Tree, as evergreens, long before being usurped by Christians, were used by pagans to symbolize eternal life—survival through the season of stasis until the earth agains warms and becomes active with life energy. Our tree is decorated with fun talismans—dinosaurs, figures from Greek mythology, star ships, cartoon characters, […]

The Winter Solstice is again upon we denizens of the Northern Hemisphere here on our beautiful home world. I posit that some satisfaction can be had in feeling at one with the cycling of the seasons. Tonight we can enjoy the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. Nasa explains: “It’s been nearly 400 years since the planets passed this close to each other in the sky, and nearly 800 years since the alignment of Saturn and Jupiter occurred at night, as it will for 2020.” This is a rare spectacle to glimpse, reminding us of the immensity of time and the […]
SUPERLATIVE SOLSTICE! The winter solstice is again upon we denizens of the Northern Hemisphere, and many feel at one with the cycling of the seasons on our beautiful home world. Some Satanists might feel alienated by aspects of the holiday hubbub, particularly those promoting Christianity, yet heathen trappings have long been the dominant décor. It is fact that the Christians lifted this holiday from the pagans, as Pope Julius I in the mid 300s inserted their pallid, mythical savior into prior earthy traditions which he failed to supplant. Jolly, round and white-bearded Santa Claus—who has come to signify wish fulfillment—seems inspired […]
We’ve all heard the good word of jolly St. Nick His lil’ elves work themselves to bring Christmas Cheer. He flies through night skies on his sleigh so quick and brings toys to good boys and girls every year. For decades, good little children have been rewarded once a year as Santa Clause makes his annual trek to bring gifts and Christmas cheer to the deserving. But what about those unfortunate souls who end up on the “naughty list”? What fate awaits the bratty and spoiled? In “The Yule Demon”, their horrid ghastly fate is finally revealed. Written and illustrated […]

Prometheus is pleased to announce this release of his unconventional little hip-chop/death rap project Der Torso. The brand-new track Stück-Werk is inspired by the dark myths surrounding Winter Solstice and the Krampus. In der Schwärze der Krampusnacht schlägt der Torso machtvoll zurück und verkündet seine dunkle und angseinflößende Interpretation der unter der Oberfläche schlummernden unheilvollen Legenden, die die Wintersonnenwende und die Figur des Krampus umranken. Stück-Werk steht stellvertretend für den vom Torso geprägten pechschwarzen Hip-Chop/Death Rap. Der Torso on cdbaby
