And so accomplishments continually multiply as the diverse means our fellows have mastered are cultivated towards enriching ends. Some are […]
Happy 50th Anniversary, Church of Satan! 50 years ago this evening, Anton Szandor LaVey opened the adamantine gates as he founded the Church of Satan—a social experiment in blasphemy, liberty, and individualism. Once he and his intrepid cohorts stepped within, they found not a sanctuary, nor a fortress, but instead a road, for Satanism is not a place or position where one cowers and stagnates, but is instead the journey each one of us takes over the course of our vital lives. He envisioned a cabal of erudite, civilized ladies and gentlemen who would treat one another with the gentility […]

Happy Birthday Magus Gilmore! In celebration of my birthday today I am beginning to post remasterings of my early electronic compositions. We begin with WALPURGISNACHT from 1983.

Wicked Walpurgisnacht! In this Year 50 Anno Satanas, tonight we celebrate the 49th anniversary of the founding of the Church of Satan. Around the globe we witness extremist theism casting its ugly pall, bringing death, slavery, and torture to countless individuals. It is time for those who cherish reason, merit and civilization to bestir themselves to stem this tsunami of reactionary regression so that our species may more actively pursue knowledge and creation towards ever-expanding realms of undefiled wisdom. Anton LaVey’s profound insights into the nature of the beast called Man have never been more relevant. Those carnal individuals whose […]
