Church of Satan Sigil of Baphomet

“Wicked Walpurgisnacht!” to true Satanists the world over!

Tonight we celebrate the forty-sixth anniversary of the founding of the Church of Satan.

We, as a global cabal, continue to flourish. Those bearing hearts of darkness come forward, declaring their allegiance to our carnal philosophy of reason and indulgence. The world-at-large has gained greater respect for our faith-free perspective on the human animal, with scholars and journalists of merit acknowledging the expanding influence of those who have entered our shadowed fane.

Here at The Black House, many came together over the weekend to share the vibrant lust for life that is so apparent in those whose nature resonates with the Black Flame. So, on this night of nights, whether sharing favored spaces with others of like mind or standing proudly alone, the real Satanists are celebrating their potency at commanding the world to move according to their varied wills. 

Here is to you, Fellows of Darkness, all who have been deeply touched by the thoughts of Magus Anton Szandor LaVey! I am enormously proud to have you as my diabolical comrades, enhancing the legacy begun in 1966 by our visionary founder through your extraordinary accomplishments. That magic is the greatest of all!

Hail Anton Szandor LaVey!

Hail Satan!

Magus Peter H. Gilmore
