Tonight we celebrate the 47th anniversary of the founding of the Church of Satan. We salute Magus Anton Szandor LaVey, who gave us tools which we wield towards enhancing our lives, every moment offering new opportunities for joyful indulgence.

The gathering at The Black House three nights ago brought together many talented and productive Satanists. These glamorous and dapper diabolists galvanized each other, providing inspiration that will surely bring forth much to enhance themselves and those they cherish.

We also hail those whose accomplishments offered us the opportunity to recognize them with elevations—you all make us very proud!

Here’s to the ever growing vitality of the Church of Satan, whose global influence has never burned brighter, a beacon of Black Flame summoning  like-minded individuals to embrace their carnal nature and live their lives to the fullest.

Hail Magus Anton Szandor LaVey!

Hail to the glorious members who are the Church of Satan!

Shamhamforash! Hail Satan! So it is done!

Magus Peter H. Gilmore
