The rising hippy culture as well as the burgeoning “occult revival” of the 60s, while contesting the rigidity of previous decades, brought forth a general sloppy spiritualism that LaVey felt needed to be challenged by his third-side perspective. Thus, while inverted crosses and the desecration of symbols held dear by Christians could play a role, slaughtering contemporary sacred cows was also encouraged by Satanism. He suggested that a contemporary black mass might vilify well-respected gurus and LSD sugar cubes might be trodden underfoot. His sense of blasphemy thus did not stop at Christianity, but was applied towards mockery of anything […]

Stanford Murder & Definition of Satanism His definition of a satanic murder? “It would have to be committed by two or more people to have some kind of a spiritual or religious connotation, you have to have multiple people involved,” Lanning said. – ABC 7 News, “40 years later, satanic reference still tied to Stanford murder” This definition ignores the importance of determining from what religion the “spiritual or religious” connotation has arisen. Satanism is a carnal, not a spiritual, religion. Our principles are against rape and murder. Even if someone misappropriates our symbols for use in a crime, it does […]

Yes, We Have No Occultism by Magus Peter H. Gilmore As I have written, we resist all who would try and inject aspects of supernaturalism and theism into what was stated by Anton LaVey to be a philosophy dedicated to rational self-interest, indulgence and the glorification of the material and carnal aspects of life. Satanism supports science and clearly advocates keeping an open mind as we continue to learn more about the Universe. LaVey was always very careful to use terms like “supernormal” or “supranormal” for any atypical experiences which can be documented and examined, as they are part of […]
an article & video for The Black Flame—December, LI A.S. Magic is the bloodstream of the universe. Forget all you know, or think you know. All that you require is your intuition. – High Aldwin; Willow, 1988 I found myself paralyzed. I was physically and emotionally paralyzed with marvel as I watched the M1A1 Abrams tank fire it’s first round downrange and the atmosphere itself react. I could see the soundwaves of the burst as it rippled out from the cannon, spreading in all directions through space-time. Passing by and crashing against everything around it. Moving everything lacking the strength […]

THE GENTLEMAN DOWNSTAIRS AND OTHER SATANIC PARABLES AND FABLES These parables and fables embody wicked insights found in literature by Anton LaVey and Peter Gilmore from the Church of Satan. Like Gilmore did in his The Satanic Scriptures, I’m using the word “parables” as an intentionally theatrical oxymoron. Parables have been so tied to Christian teachings that I wanted to try and decouple the two; since at its root, a parable is simply a short allegorical story. I included fables because many of the characters in the pieces are animals or inanimate objects. The first part of the site’s title […]
