SUPERLATIVE SOLSTICE! The solstice is upon us and, as kin to the rest of Earth’s species, we feel at one with the cycling of the seasons on this beautiful planet that is our home. Some Satanists might feel alienated by parts of the holiday hubbub promoting Christianity, yet heathen trappings have long been the dominant décor. It is fact that the Christians lifted this holiday from the pagans, as Pope Julius I in the mid 300s inserted their pallid, mythical savior into prior earthy traditions which they failed to supplant. Jolly round and white-bearded Santa Claus, who has come to […]
Prometheus is pleased to announce this release of his unconventional little hip-chop/death rap project Der Torso. The brand-new track Stück-Werk is inspired by the dark myths surrounding Winter Solstice and the Krampus. In der Schwärze der Krampusnacht schlägt der Torso machtvoll zurück und verkündet seine dunkle und angseinflößende Interpretation der unter der Oberfläche schlummernden unheilvollen Legenden, die die Wintersonnenwende und die Figur des Krampus umranken. Stück-Werk steht stellvertretend für den vom Torso geprägten pechschwarzen Hip-Chop/Death Rap. Der Torso on cdbaby

We’ve noted that some secularists in Nebraska have decided to combat their local Adams County Board of Supervisors’ decision to post a sign with the vapid slogan “In God We Trust” in the county courthouse by offering an alternative sign which would list our founder Anton LaVey’s text for “The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth.” Now, that initial slogan was pasted on to U.S. paper currency in 1957 and was intended as a rebuttal to what was perceived as the threat of “godless communism.” As Satanists who understand that all deities are myths, to us it is an empty […]
