31 December, XXXVII A.S.: Tonight, at the local “witching hour” of midnight, Satanists welcome in the year XXXVIII A.S., many making this the climax of their Dionysian solstice season celebrations. We each take the time to look back over what has been an event-filled year, and look ahead to the coming glories of the new year. And we will have some fascinating items to share with you—when the time is proper.
From the Central Grotto, we send our deepest thanks to our treasured comrades who have attained so very much over the past twelve months. You continue to inspire us with your fierce creativity and adamantine will to move the world in wondrous ways. A special “horned salute” goes out to Warlock Mealie for stage-managing a deeply satisfying time-travel experience back to the 1930s for all who participated in the Halloween gathering.
Now is the time to raise our glasses and celebrate ourselves during this coda to year XXXVII.
Shemhamforash! Hail Satan!

23 December, XXXVII A.S.: It seems that the Solstice weekend brought Satanism to many American television viewers. On Saturday evening, we’ve heard that Fox’s MADtv featured a sketch about a company trying to accommodate a welter of religious traditions for the winter holiday season, and, to add humorous spice, one of the groups they needed to appease were Satanists (referred to as “the computer guys”). It ended up with the holiday greetings including a “Hail Satan!” accompanied by the sign of the horns.
Also on Fox, the Sunday episode of Futurama dealt with freedom of expression for an alien, Dr. Zoidberg. The lawyer at his trial was later crushed by a war machine brought by his compatriots, and just before expiring, the lawyer shouted “I demand a Satanic funeral!”
Finally, the SciFi Channel ran a marathon of the new “In Search Of...” series which ended with the episode including the installment about “The Devil,” which featured interview clips with Magistra Blanche Barton (shot a couple of years ago) about the Church of Satan. So, the idea of Satanism as being a religious alternative, if only a far-fetched one, reached many millions of viewers over this holiday weekend. A Superior Solstice indeed!
22 December, XXXVII A.S.: A Superior Solstice to all true Satanists the world over!
Today, we recall the ancient Roman Saturnalia, and indulge in feasting with cherished companions and family, marking one of the significant spokes in the ever-turning wheel of the seasons—the natural holidays of the earth.
May the Black Flame burning in your hearts eclipse even the Infernal fires rising from countless Yule logs. And may Satan Claws—Old Nick himself—inspire the attainment of all your deepest desires!
From we here at administrative central, Seasons Greetings!
Shemhamforash! Hail Satan!

20 December, XXXVII A.S.: We received a beautiful and fascinating project that we thought might be of interest.
Infernal Proteus: A Musical Herbal
This art object is a 96 page hardback book (cover above) which also contains four compact discs of music. Various musicians, inspired by a catalog of herbs, crafted character pieces to embody responses to their floral subjects. Inside the book, each artist presents a visual image of the subject as well, which accompanies information about the musicians on the facing page. The music itself is very wide-ranging, from acoustic ballads and instrumentals, to electronic collage pieces and even rather avant-garde means for generating sound. It is truly a fascinating aural and visual journey. Click on the cover above for detailed information. It is $47.00 ppd in US funds from:

A press release concerning another project by one of our members:

The legendary black/death metal band—consisting of members of the Greek bands NECROMANTIA, ROTTING CHRIST, SEPTIC FLESH (known as the Greek Satanic Armada)—THOU ART LORD returns to action after 5 years with an album combining all the extreme metal tendencies into one killer package! Devilish, sinister music dedicated to the Darker side of Man and Nature! Entitled “DV8” will be out from the Greek label BLACK LOTUS RECORDS.

The current issue of The Spook, a magazine that can be downloaded as a PDF file, features an interview with “psychic” Uri Geller, which is followed by commentaries by skeptics on Geller’s negative words regarding people whose lives are not based on faith, among which you will find a pithy statement by High Priest Gilmore. Click on the link to take a look.
Those who are enjoying Bloody Beautiful might also wish to partake of an interview with its tasteful editor, Reverend Doran Wittelsbach, conducted by the Willamette Week Online. Click on the link to be be enlightened.
12 December, XXXVII A.S.: Our readers might enjoy catching a new show airing on the Arts and Entertainment network. “Cleavage” premiered on December 10th, and here follows the description from the A & E website:
Cleavage
Sexy and fun, this 2-hour special surveys mankind’s fascination with breasts and cleavage, from the goddesses of antiquity to today’s silicone-enhanced TV and film stars. Offering their opinions on why two simple mounds of flesh have wielded such power through the ages will be comedian Joan Rivers; Cosmopolitan’s Helen Gurley Brown; a plastic surgeon; a female body builder; and others. Narrated by Carmen Electra. TV PG-LNext airdate: Sunday, December 15 12:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Among the “others” is our own Magister Coop, and the program examines the power wielded by Jayne Mansfield, as well as gives Russ Meyer his proper due, and it even shows puchritudinous clips from some of our favorite Scopitones, naturally including the bountiful Joi Lansing. And so, some of the techniques presented by Dr. LaVey in The Satanic Witch continue to make their way to a broader public.
5 December, XXXVII A.S.: On the 25th of November, Prophecy Productions in Germany released the German edition of the book LORDS OF CHAOS by Michael Moynihan and Didrik Söderlind.
Together with the book, Prophecy has also released a double CD compilation called LORDS OF CHAOS—a historical document about the history of occult music in the 20th century. There are many rare and previously unreleased tracks on the double CD; from early blues to modern electronica and various styles of rock music. Also included are recordings of Aleister Crowley, Anton Szandor LaVey, and the Church of Satan’s current High Priest, Peter H. Gilmore.
The European press response has been very strong, with various media taking note of this historic release.
More information about the book and double CD compilation can be found at

2 December, XXXVII A.S.: Today we have sent our E-Bulletin #2, which contains details for participation in our Special Interest Groups.
If you are a member in good standing who has signed-up for the E-Bulletin, it should come through within the next 24 hours. If you have signed-up for our E-Bulletins and it does not come through, contact us with your current e-mail address. Many sent copies are being returned, so we know that there are e-mail addresses that have changed which we have not recorded on the E-Bulletin list.
If you are a member in good standing who has not signed up but would now like to receive the E-Bulletin, contact us at E-Com@churchofsatan.com to be placed on the list. We will require your full legal name, mailing address, and membership number to confirm your affiliation.
Some of our members will have noted that we have again begun processing Active Membership Applications. We thank you all for your continued patience, as we do have several hundred still to consider.
We have posted to the Theory/Practice page Magistra Blanche Barton’s original letter, titled here The Montalba Mystery, which was written in response to an article which appeared in the Village Voice concerning Anton LaVey's connection to albums of organ music issued under the name “Georges Montalba.” A much briefer version of this reply was printed in that paper.
23 November, XXXVII A.S.: Once again, we present a plethora of publications, produced by or including our members.
Draconis Blackthorne has brought forth another fine issue of The Devil’s Diary. Contact the editor for complete ordering information.
As if you needed reminding, the folks at Feral House continue to release books exposing realms that have hitherto remained obscure. A fine recent example is the biography of Sidney Reilly (cover above), a master spy and master criminal, who was one of history’s more diabolical individuals and a model for Ian Fleming’s James Bond character. In Russ Columbo and the Crooner Mystique, you’ll delve into the dark side of the popular music business, at a time when the art of singing was at a true high point. The Hot Girls of Weimar Berlin is a sister volume to Voluptuous Panic, and documents the final carnal decadence before the Nazis came to power. It is filled with period art that will satisfy collectors of erotica. Also worth your time is Jim Goad’s Shit Magnet, written while the author was incarcerated and containing all the bile, venom, and insight you’ve come to know and love from him.
In the second issue of Bloody Beautiful, Doran Wittelsbach leads us on another journey into the rarified realm of the glories of yesteryear, and showcases those who will not let these orthodoxies remain past. With its silver-embossed cover and included vinyl disc of songs by superb crooner Al Bowlly, as well as tasty numbers by Lillian Harvery & Willie Fritsch, Sophie Tucker, and Fred Douglas singing “Let’s All Be Fairies,” there is plenty to intrigue and edify. Particularly fascinating is material about the artistic duo Mc Dermott & McGough, who live in a self-imposed time warp in absolute resistance to contemporary culture. Copies are $10.00 in U.S. funds, postpaid, worldwide.
B U A Productions, 1701 Broadway #347, Vancouver, WA 98663
Keeper #3, subtitled “Southern California’s Only All-Metal Magazine,” includes an interview about the Church of Satan with Magister Michael Rose. So if you live in that neck of the woods, grab a copy before they disappear.
The Halloween Issue (#3) of Revival Ink, which features an interview with Necro-sculptor Owen Leitsch, is available for a limited time. Copies are $2.oo, plus postage (click on the cover image above to contact the editor for details).

31 October, XXXVII A.S.: “Happiest of Halloweens!” to true Satanists the world over.
This is a time, as is traditional, for reflection on those departed individuals who have touched us deeply. Dr. LaVey left us on October 29th, 1997 c.e., and we cherish his rich legacy. Those of us who knew him personally mourn the loss of a valued colleague and friend. We also celebrate the birth of his only son, Satan Xerxes Carnacki LaVey, on the first of November, and those who have met him know what a magical young fellow he is.
Members of the Council of Nine have just met and finalized certain details regarding the eagerly anticipated Special Interest Groups, and an E-Bulletin (it will be our second) will be sent out to our members in November with details for participation.
We are no longer accepting mail at the old San Francisco Post Office box, so all who need to reach us via regular post must use the New York City address:

4 October, XXXVII A.S.: Today we again have some wonderful things created by our members to share with you.
Our “Irreverend” Gavin Baddeley has released an excellent study of the current “Goth Culture,” which includes an exploration of its roots in art, music, and literature.

Magister Coop has done it again, and this time produced a gigantic book collecting many years worth of his sketches.
THE BIG FAT ONE provides insight into how Coop evolves his evocative imagery, and here you’ll find many pictures that have never before been seen outside of his private sketchbooks. Coop fans, pop culture mavens, and aficianados of contemporary erotica will all find much to stimulate in this two-inch-thick tome, which comes in a slipcase. Click on the image above to order.
Mephisto Media has released an new CD by Cannibal Whore Feast.

In September we will hit the ground running and be back to getting responses out to all of you patient cohorts of the Infernal Empire. And at that time we will have some fascinating updates for this News page as well.
We trust that you are having a productive and pleasure-filled Summer season!
Hail Satan!

4 July, XXXVII A.S.: Today, we American Satanists celebrate the birth of our nation, the world’s first secular republic. So, to the rousing strains of a Sousa march, we proudly hail our Founding Fathers, those de facto Satanists who understood that the true key to personal liberty was to keep religion out of government. Their wisdom bears renewed reflection, as recent events have made it abundantly clear that religious fundamentalist fanaticism is the enemy of our pursuit of happiness in this world of wonders. And we must stand fast in preventing such fundamentalism—whether it be Muslim, Christian, or any other repressive spiritual doctrine—from gaining an enthroned position from whence state-supported oppression of dissent can be made the rule of the land. Such “holy unions” of church and state always spell the end of fertile diversity, limiting freedom of choice, and eventually pressuring conformity based on some scriptural authority.
We will never forget the significance of the great social achievement embodied in our Constitution, as we bear in mind that the struggle is never over where preservation of freedom is concerned. Sheep tend to seek a shepherd, as it gives them peace of mind, and those who prefer to hold the responsibility for their own lives must be wary or be swept up in the dash of the herd towards a corral and its master. So, our hats are off to our Satanic forefathers (and mothers), as we pledge our vigilance towards sustaining their brave, visionary Is-To-Be.
Hail United Satanic America!
Hail Satan!
Magus Peter H. Gilmore
In the spirit of celebrating Independence Day, as well as the recent decision concerning the “Pledge of Allegiance”—which is polluted by the words “under God” and has thus been deemed unconstitutional by a California court —Purging Talon Publishing brings you some new products that express a point of view shared by most Satanists. Click on the banner below to explore these items.
We think that you’ll find the latest issue of The Trident, produced by the Legion of Loki Grotto, to be of some interest. It contains essays, reviews, and fiction from a range of creative Church of Satan members. For more information, or to learn how to order Trident, click on the image above or the link.
21 June, XXXVII A.S.: A “Superior Solstice” to all!
And so the longest day rolls back around in our corner of the galaxy, and I
receive an opportunity to extend Summer Solstice greetings to the rest of
the members of the CoS. It’s been my privilege and joy for the past six
months to evaluate your Active Membership Applications, and the depth and
breadth of your interests, activities and obsessions have been inspiring.
Long before I functioned in this official capacity, however, I was reviewing
Satanic materials for “The Odditorium,” the gargantuan review section of The
Black Flame, and there received my first look at the wide spectrum of our
members’ aesthetics, politics, backgrounds, and so on. It was also when I began to
recognize that all-important element that unites us, and which gave the
title to our publication in the first place.On this longest day, then, take the time to focus on that element, that
Flame that pushes the breath through you, through the galaxy, through the
universe, and rejoice in your own Greatness.Magistra Peggy Nadramia
High PriestessAnd Solstice greetings to all true Satanists the world over, from High Priest Peter H. Gilmore, Magistra Templi Rex Blanche Barton, and the rest of those of us who have the honor of administering this extraordinary cabal. May you all celebrate this seasonal turning with glorious indulgence. This shortest night will pass, and the darkness will begin again to grow.
Hail Satan!
“Satanic” Sourcebook
Our members might encounter an academic by the name of James Lewis (or one of his research assistants) seeking materials for inclusion in a proposed sourcebook to be printed and distributed to college and university libraries. I have decided that I personally will not participate in this publication and also will not authorize any materials whose copyright belongs to the Church of Satan to be included in this project.
Primarily, there is no need for placing our works in a printed compendium, as they are easily available online or are already printed and distributed professionally, and are thus quite easily obtained by anyone doing serious research. Secondly, I suspect that this book will be padded-out with a collection of writings coming from what I’d call the “pseudo-Satanic fringe,” the usual online rabble who have no real outlet professionally or via websites which have any significant traffic, let alone any coherent philosophy.
As the truism goes, “You are known by the company you keep.” Thus, having our materials “rubbing elbows” with the scribblings of these people would only give them credence that they do not deserve.
I suggest that our members, if they are approached for this project, decline the invitation. There are currently many routes for professional presentation of your ideas, and more are planned.

TYR: Myth—Culture—Tradition
Volume 1, 2002.
ISSN 1538-9413
ISBN 0-9720292-0
6" x 9", perfectbound, illustrated, 286 pages
Cover price: $16.00Edited by Joshua Buckley, Collin Cleary and Michael Moynihan.TYR is named for the Germanic sky god, the guardian of transcendent and eternal order.
Published annually, TYR celebrates the traditional myths, culture, and social institutions of pre-Christian, pre-modern Europe. It includes in-depth, original articles, interviews, translations of essential works by radical traditionalist and anti-modern thinkers, as well as extensive reviews of books, films, music, and the arts.
From the Preface:What does it mean to be a radical traditionalist?
It means to reject the modern, materialist reign of “quantity over quality,” the absence of any meaningful spiritual values, environmental devastation, the mechanization and over-specialization of urban life, and the imperialism of corporate mono-culture, with its vulgar “values” of progress and efficiency. It means to yearn for the small, homogeneous tribal societies that flourished before Christianity—societies in which every aspect of life was integrated into a holistic system.
What we represent:
Resacralization of the world versus materialism; folk/traditional culture versus mass culture; natural social order versus an artificial hierarchy based on wealth; the tribal community versus the nation-state; stewardship of the earth versus the “maximization of resources”; a harmonious relationship between men and women versus the “war between the sexes”; handicrafts and artisanship versus industrial mass-production.
In the Premier Volume:•Stephen Edred Flowers on “Integral Culture”
•Collin Cleary on “Knowing the Gods”

Press Release: South BoundThe Satanic renaissance will soon be making its way to a new publication. South Bound is a magazine dedicated to the entertainment and creativity of the blasphemous, the carnal, and the infernally provocative. This new magazine will consist of interviews with those creative talents that produce such great works, as well as reviews and insights on books, movies, art, and music. As for now, South Bound is in search of writers and contributors that wish to play a role in the production of this magazine of diabolical entertainment. For further inquiries, you may write to Mr. Berry, at SouthBound@myexcel.com. Mr. Berry has been working with, and writing for, such magazines as Ultra Violent horror and exploitation www.uvmagazine.com and The Creative Advocate (a magazine local to Florida), and is now pursuing his own publication to fulfill the yearning for a magazine dedicated to the Devil’s entertainment.
From the talented folks at Stigmata Press who brought you GICK! The Journal of Horror, Splatter & Exploitation Films, Trashfiend focuses on obscure trash horror from the 1960s and 1970s, and has broadened its scope to encompass the whole of pop culture: Cinema, television, the comic book industry, and monster-related memorabilia are all given equal coverage. Furthermore, the magazine is not just aimed at the nostalgia junkie, but hardcore collectors as well, with its in-depth articles, exhaustive technical information, interviews, and current market values. Like GICK!, Trashfiend offers the selfsame irreverent bent that has made it a favorite among fans, but also strives to balance its patent attitude with information, so that each issue is an invaluable reference source as well as an enjoyable read.
It is a handsome publication that aficionados will not want to miss!

30 April, XXXVII A.S.: On this triumphant anniversary of the founding of the Church of Satan, we administrators take time to celebrate the vitality of our extraordinary members, who make up a world-wide body that is enjoying self-satisfaction and moving our culture in directions felicitous to our values.
I take great personal pride this night in welcoming Peggy Nadramia as High Priestess of the Church of Satan. Our previous High Priestess Blanche Barton details this completion of our transition begun a year ago today in her moving message on this Walpurgisnacht of XXXVII. As noted in this message, Magistra Templi Rex Barton is exchanging positions with previous Magistra Templi Rex Peggy Nadramia, so she now assumes the chair of the Council of Nine and will continue to contribute her wisdom towards the evolution of the Church of Satan, as well as pursuing her own projects that continue to expound her insights gained during her many years working at the side of Dr. LaVey.
This past year has been one of great pleasure for me, and I wanted to share a metaphor I have used to explain my conception of my position and duties as your High Priest. Since I am a musician, having studied both conducting and composition, I often tend to cast my imagery based on this significant part of my creative practice. I see the Church of Satan as resembling a vast symphony orchestra of diabolical virtuosos, each with skills in playing their unique “instruments”—their talents. I am now the conductor and music director of this esteemed ensemble, and the “score” of which I lead us in performance is the philosophy of Satanism created by Anton LaVey and embodied in his many works. As is the regular practice of conductors, I have studied both the historical context as well as made an in-depth analysis of Dr. LaVey’s “score,” so that my interpretation is authoritative. Having worked for many years directly with “the composer” has also provided me with necessary insights into his unique methods and means. This Sinfonia Diabolica, which we perform with the maximum engagement of our passions, is one with many concertante passages, calling for players to come forth from the texture of the ensemble and “sing solo” with great ardor. It is a score that also allows for cadenzas—passages wherein soloists soar in brilliant improvisation based on the materials of the score itself. And also it is a score which allows for continued expansion—ever more colorful elaborations of its orchestration as conditions change and evolving possibilities present themselves. Those who are not well-versed in classical music performance might not be aware that it has long been the practice of conductors to adjust the scores they are performing to take advantage of the continuing development of the instruments in the orchestra, facilitating greater expression of the intentions of the composer. And so it is my task to evolve the implementation of Maestro LaVey’s philosophical masterpiece, as I do my utmost to inspire you all in this continuing “concert of inspired music” arising from the very heart of the Inferno.
The Church of Satan has always been a laboratory for experimentation in evolving an organization of radical individualism, and that process continues. Towards that end, our specific Special Interest Groups are soon to be announced via E-Bulletin to our members (we are completing our organization of the methods for their functioning), and will thus launch a new phase in creative exchange. While it has been our past practice to have small-scale gatherings of productive members, this last Halloween marked our first large-scale coming together of outstanding individuals. Reverend Ventrue, abetted by his talented cohorts Witch Hecate and Reverends Sprague and Kennedy, made it possible for a celebratory fellowship of hand-picked invitees to assemble in the Dallas area. It was truly an energizing time, galvanizing new projects as well as providing indulgence in many shared passions—promoting a veritable chain-reaction of reinforced ideas and goals. The security was very tight, and this contributed to it being a great success. We will continue with further such experiments, choosing participants with care so that our yield will be of the highest order.
We have been hard at work in acknowledging the many Active Membership Applications that have been pending, and many of you will have by now received your certificates welcoming you to the first degree as Satanists in the Church of Satan. We still have many more to process, and it is our goal to forge ahead and thus open the gates for those who patiently await.
In celebration of this Walpurgisnacht, Reverend Matt Paradise has released his first book, The Book of Satanic Quotations. Click on the image below to visit his site and order this excellent collection of Infernal ammunition.
My deepest thanks go to the treasured individuals who have added their strengths towards our shared vision over this last year—you continue to earn my love and respect, as you honor me as well as the work of Dr. LaVey, with your inestimable contributions.
So, in the name of High Priestess Nadramia, Magistra Templi Rex Barton, and myself, I send forth our darkest blessings to all of our members and true Satanists the world over. May you celebrate this night of nights with abundant pleasure and extraordinary satisfaction. We bear a legacy, crystallized and identified by our founder Anton Szandor LaVey, that has come forth from the shadows to claim its due—it is a glorious time to be a Satanist.
Hail Anton Szandor LaVey!
Hail Satan!

11 April, XXXVII A.S.: Today Satanists around the world celebrate the anniversary of Dr. LaVey’s birth.
During his amazingly vital life, Anton Szandor LaVey—surely one of the mighty-minded—rode the whirlwind of iconoclasm and left an indelible mark on our society. Founding contemporary Satanism, he was its foremost living exemplar. He embodied its principles first in a church consecrated in the name of Satan and subsequently in an extraordinary series of books. These achievements have touched millions of people around the globe. The reverberations sounded by his philosophical voice shall echo down the corridors of human history, a clangorous tocsin that brings fear to the hearts of those who would stifle individualism, while inspiring his kindred to claim and guard their heritage with pride.
Beyond his successes as a philosopher and religious innovator, LaVey also excelled as an artist, both visual and musical. The few individuals who were honored with a concert by the Maestro in the alchemical kitchen of the Black House, or in the diabolical Den of Iniquity, will never forget those stirring and seductive tunes, evoked as one of Dr. LaVey’s favorite means for sharing his deepest essence.
For those of us who knew him, he won our love and constantly lives in our minds and hearts. For those whose sense of self has been ignited by his works, he lives for them as a vivid mentor, who bestowed the rare gift of undefiled wisdom.
All of us will spend time today in cherishing our memories of this extraordinary man.
Hail Anton Szandor LaVey!
Hail Satan!
Magus Peter H. Gilmore
5 April, XXXVII A.S.: What wonders we have to show you!
First, Reverend Steven Johnson Leyba’s first CD has just been released by Chris X’s Reptilian Records on his Adversary Recordings label. United Satanic Apache Front is a fascinating compilation, which blends spoken word, rants, chants, sound collage, and electronic and tribal music to create a powerful audio amalgam which parallels his ground-breaking visual work. Propaganda and ritual meld and capture the spirit of Leyba’s personal blood rites. It is a strong entry into another artform—kudos to all involved!
The talented composer David E. Williams presents his dark and moody film score to Norman Macera’s The Strike Zone. Williams renders a dark, surging orchestral backing which includes quotations of popular tunes germane to the onscreen action. This issue is a limited edition CD-R, personally burned by the composer himself! Only $10.00, postpaid in the US, from:
David E. Williams, PO Box 2422, Philadelphia, PA 19147 USA
Also included was a CD single containing “The Ballad of Bob Crane,” a tribute to the tragic star and pioneer in recording video pornography. Click on Mr. Williams’ name above for ordering information.
Our Reverend Michael Moynihan edited what is now the definitive English language edition of Evola’s Men Among the Ruins published by Inner Traditions. Particularly important is the extensive introduction by Dr. H. T. Hansen, which provides a very thorough context as a foundation for exploring Evola’s thinking. Click on the cover image above to order the trade paperback via Amazon.com.
A special deluxe edition (ISBN 0-9712044-1-1) is also available only by direct order.

Here’s an old treasure, finally re-issued by the redoubtable Feral House. Long out-of-print and fetching high prices through book search services, King’s lurid classic explores sexuality in magic ranging from fertility cults, to Eastern Tantric practices, and ultimately finishes off with Crowley and Reich (with even some brief mentions of the Church of Satan along the way!). Definitely a must-have book; you may click on the above cover to order this tantalizing title directly from Amazon.com.
If you happenened to be in Portland Oregon during March, you might have come across Issue #102 of Street Times, which included a brief interview with High Priest Gilmore. This publication bills itself as “The Voice of Portland’s Mean Streets” and it is written by street youth for street youth and is published by Outside In, 1132 SW 13th Ave., Portland, OR 97205-1703.
Finally, Magister Boyd Rice returned to New York City for a triumphant concert with co-conspirator Douglas P of Death In June. The venue was a performance space at the end of a pier jutting into the Hudson River, and during the event the elements stormed, adding to the apocalyptic mood. Also part of the performance space is a moored boat that had been raised from the depths after sinking, the interior of which looks like a Giger painting!
This proved to be a gathering point for many Church of Satan members and officials—including High Priest Gilmore and Magistra Templi Rex Nadramia— some who are local, but others who traveled from as far away as California and Florida. Reptilian Records and Predatory Instinct Productions manned a table with an absolute bounty of Satanic merchandise. The days leading up to and following this concert included a number of smaller gatherings of members and officials who conferred on issues of passion and import but, more importantly, enjoyed each other’s company. A new installment of David Harris’ Satanism Today was recorded, featuring Kevin Slaughter, and outings included a visit to The Jewish Museum to view the controversial exhibition, Mirroring Evil: Nazi Imagery / Recent Art.
It was an exhilarating and productive time for all who participated.
4 April, XXXVII A.S.: Today we’ve added Lex Talionis! to a new Legal Issues heading on our Theory/Practice page. It is a source page with pertinent links for Satanists who are seeking legal redress in situations of infringements on their rights here in the United States. If members outside of the United States have similar links for finding information leading towards legally protecting the freedoms of those in other countries, please feel free to submit them to us and we will include them under our Legal Issues heading.
20 March, XXXVII A.S.: To true Satanists everywhere, may you enjoy an Exquisite Equinox today! In celebration, I shall listen to Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring” for its lyrical ferocity, so apt for banishing the barren Winter and welcoming the fecund Spring (suggested recording: Ben Zander leading the Boston Philharmonic—the only one brave enough to follow the composer’s original tempi).
So, on behalf of High Priestess Blanche Barton and Magistra Templi Rex Peggy Nadramia, our blessings are upon you for abundant joy in this new season.
Hail Satan!
Magus Peter H. Gilmore
High Priest
5 March, XXXVII A.S.: Another one of San Francisco’s unique possessions is facing destruction. The Musée Méchanique, a repository of wonderful mechanical devices, is currently threatened with demolition and the dispersal of its collection. It was a favored haunt of Dr. LaVey, and this should not be surprising as where else would one find an orchestrion that plays “Yankee Rose”? In recent years it included a room with video games to draw in the “kids,” but even that didn’t overwhelm the real time travel value of its treasures.
If you are a resident or frequent visitor to the Bay area, to sign the online petition created by the supporters of this fascinating museum, click this link.
22 February, XXXVII A.S.: British television viewers may have caught the first part of the “Masters of Darkness” series on Channel 4 on the 12th detailing the exploits of Rasputin. Our Irreverend Gavin Baddeley appears as black magic consultant on this week’s show (19th February) concerning Aleister Crowley and the final part on Elizabethan Magus Dr John Dee. For further information, check out the series web-site which also features an essay by Baddeley on Dee’s disreputable side-kick Edward Kelley. Music fans can also spot Baddeley in the Channel 4 program celebrating 50 years of the charts screening next month, in which he comments on Cliff Richard’s “Millenium Prayer” and the theological significance of Iron Maiden’s “Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter”! Baddeley’s autobiography—“I was a Necromancer for Channel 4”—isn’t due out soon as he has only written the title and has yet to experience the last few chapters. His “connoisseur’s guide to dark culture” Goth Chic is finally back on the schedules, however, and will be published in April.
Issue number two of The Black Star Chronicles, published by the Order of the Black Star Grotto, is now available. This fine publication features interviews with Vincent Crowley, Kevin Slaughter, Jeffrey Nagy and High Priest Peter H. Gilmore.

A NEW BLOOD AXIS RELEASE
ABSINTHE: La Folie Verte
[Athanor, ATNR 017]
This long-awaited collaboration by Blood Axis and the
French group Les Joyaux de la Princesse is now available.A century ago, the “Green Hour” was the most important time of day for many a lost soul. It was then that the cafés of Paris filled to the brim with laborers, artists, painters and poets, and the Absinthe began to pour forth into countless glasses. With a splash of water over a sugar cube perched on a perforated spoon, the opaline elixir was ready… and the fog of green madness descended over the world.
Today, two of the most notorious music projects of the underground—the American “inner expatriates” Blood Axis and the nostalgic French aesthetes Les Joyaux de la Princesse—have conspired to unveil their long-awaited homage to this infamous intoxicant. With Absinthe: La Folie Verte (Absinthe: Green Madness) they present the fruit of their reveries: a dreamlike journey through the addled mind of the Absintheur.
Absinthe: La Folie Verte is a sonic and poetic invocation combining mind-altering music and powerful recitations of Absinthe-inspired poems of the fin-de-siècle. These elements are united with a brilliant graphic presentation to conjure an emerald realm of euphoric delirium. This is also one of the most obsessive recordings ever made: the various melodies that float across these soundscapes derive from forgotten Absinthe songs of the past; actual elements of the latter, derived from old cylinder recordings and 78s, have been carefully stirred and distilled into new formulations by Les Joyaux de la Princesse. Furthermore, all aspects of this album—instrumentation, spoken recitations, and even the final mixing—were executed under the influence of the drink. The end result is an impressionistic tour-de-force and the ultimate aural hymn to la fée verte, the Green Fairy.
Following the CD version, Athanor will issue a special limited edition boxset containing a book, various printed pieces, and two 10" picture discs with remixes from Absinthe: La Folie Verte as well as live recordings from the debut performance of this material, which was presented on stage in Portugal by Blood Axis and Les Joyaux de la Princesse in October of 2001.Copies of this full-length CD have been imported from France
and are now available for $16 postpaid in the US and Canada.Please makepayments out to :

And from our intrepid Reverend Leyba comes the following press update:
UNSPEAKABLE, The Life and Art of Reverend Steven Johnson Leyba
a film by Marc Rokoff
(Documentary/80min./2001/USA)
Reverend Steven Johnson Leyba is the kind of man who will paint all over the American flag, then remind you that “flag etiquette” has been royally pissed on by most major designers without anyone raising an eyebrow. He will have a swastika cut into his back while reminding you that this is an ancient symbol, then he’ll wonder aloud how many people were killed in the name of the sanctified Holy Cross. He is known in the underground art world as the “Father of Sexpressionism.” The man views every kind of bodily excretion as a viable medium with which to paint. He is deeply in touch with his Native American ancestry.These juxtapositions may seem like a lot to ponder, but they represent just a scratch on the surface of this complex artist. For nearly two years, Reverend Leyba permitted the filmmaker’s cameras to observe his life, his art, and his infamous personal rituals. Some of this extraordinarily unique footage charts a terrain of human behavior that has rarely, if ever, been explored within the documentary form.
The Reverend’s prolific and varied artistic output reflects his unyielding political and religious opinions. UNSPEAKABLE captures the unusual behavior of this Satanic priest and takes a firsthand look at the issues that propel his work. The film hops from one inimitable character to the next as they grapple with topics ranging from the denial of the “American Holocaust,” to the discovery of new ways to make an explosively sexual/political statement with a whiskey bottle.
Such luminaries as Church of Satan High Priestess Blanche Barton, photographer-anthropologist Charles Gatewood, and President of the Tom of Finland Foundation, Durk Dehner, guide us through a journey of Sex and Satan, a sneak peek at radical art and raging performances.
The resulting portrait is of an artist with a perversely brilliant vision. He has both humor and fury. He is grotesque, yet possesses the UNSPEAKABLE beauty of a man free enough to confront and embrace the full range of his own sexuality.
The World Premiere will be at the San Francisco Independent film Festival,New College: February 3 at 9:15 pm—741 Valencia at 18th, and then at
Studio Z (The old Transmission Theatre): February 6 at 9:30 pm—314 11th St. at Folsom.
Reverend Leyba lives locally in San Francisco and will be present for the screening of UNSPEAKABLE.
Reverend Steven Johnson Leyba can be contacted at satanicapache@hotmail.com, or see www.satanicapache.com.
