Satansplain with Magister Bill M.

Satansplain #088 – Fascism and Zionism accusations (part 1)

Sometimes Satanists get accused of being Nazi fascists. Other times, we’re getting accused of being Jewish Zionists. These accusations can’t both be right, but they can both be wrong. Hear part 1 of a multi-part episode on The Fascism Question and related topics.

The Neutral Wisdom Podcast – I’m Offended

I’m Offended Because You’re Offended – Sensitivity and Being Offended with Comedian Raul Atondo “I’m offended.” A statement heard all too often these days.

Is there a line between being considerate and being overly sensitive towards others, or is it more complicated than that? On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanist Robert Shirley discusses sensitivity and being offended with comedian, dance instructor, and Infernal Legionnaire Raul “House of Fire” Atondo. The Neutral Wisdom Podcast is a podcast dedicated to passing on […]

Wicked Walpurgisnacht! from the Church of Satan

Wicked Walpurgisnacht!

On this 59th anniversary of the founding of the Church of Satan, we, who are inspired by the pioneering efforts of Anton Szandor LaVey, take this night to celebrate his insights into the beast called Man. While about us is chaos, we stay focused on our goals—becoming the best versions of ourselves we can attain. A new interview with me has been published on our Dutch language portal, Des Duivelsche Notities, which was conducted in English and translated for this site. You can read both versions here. The innovative composer Hector Berlioz, in his Symphonie fantastique (Op. 14, 1830), wrote […]

Anton LaVey and the Right of Might by Magister Kevin I. Slaughter Header Image

Magister Slaughter Debunks LaVey Plagiarism Myth in Provocative New Essay

For decades, critics have accused Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, of plagiarizing The Book of Satan, the fiery opening to his 1969 The Satanic Bible. In his incisive new essay, “Anton LaVey and the Right of Might,” Magister Kevin I. Slaughter dismantles these claims with historical rigor and unapologetic clarity. Drawing on Church of Satan archives and scholarly analysis, Slaughter reveals how LaVey openly transformed works like Ragnar Redbeard’s Might is Right into a bold philosophical statement, not a concealed theft. A publisher, archivist, and Magister in the Church of Satan, Slaughter has championed radical thinkers through […]

John McConnell's Earth Day flag.

Happy Earth Day 2025!

For Satanists, our carnal religion celebrates every day as Earth Day. We cherish and protect our wondrous home world, with all of its beauties and terrors, and invite you to do the same. If possible, go out of doors and partake of the splendors of Nature—of which you are a vibrant participant!

I’m offering a performance by members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by that sorcerer of sound, Leopold Stokowski. Follow […]
