THE GROTESQUE & THE SUBLIME: THE ART OF M. DEMPSEY Brandishing anti-theistic themes whilst entrenched in left-hand path ideology, Satanic artist Mortimer Dempsey (né Scott Aaron Stine) and his art explores the fine line between beauty and the macabre through haunting images and rich textures. Although most of his current work gravitates between surrealism and abstract expressionism, the influence of classical painting is palpable, with strong leanings towards the gothic. Museum quality reproductions of this dark and eclectic artist’s work can now be purchased directly from Saatchi Online. Each print is available in a range of sizes and paper quality, and can […]

Today in the USA we celebrate the founding of our secular republic. It is an ongoing experiment in providing a societal framework that allows individuals to determine their own destiny via a social contract that offers equity under the law and, to a certain degree, promotes meritocracy while eschewing the mob rule of democracy. There are always those who would seek to sully this concept through the legislation of theist principles, so vigilance is required of our citizenry if we wish to preserve and continually enhance individual liberty. We Satanists value freedom and justice, and so we are proud to […]
TABOO USA: STRANGE OBSESSIONS TUESDAY, JULY 2 @ 10PM ET From sports to art to personal interests, obsessions commonly drive the way Americans think, act and relate to the world and the people around them. Outside of Fresno, Calif., one woman is the landlord to 1,000 feline tenants. What started as a few furry friends has rapidly grown into what is now a cat sanctuary for less fortunate felines. In Staten Island, N.Y., a wife and mother (our own Witch Marilyn Mansfield) spends much of her time caring for her large family of zombie dolls.
I celebrate this milestone in the continued advance of secularism and civil rights in the USA. Legislation, both state and federal, intended to enforce religious bigotry should be expunged. May our societal journey towards embracing reason and equity soon accelerate from its current molto adagio tempo to a bracing prestissimo. —Magus Peter H. Gilmore
Richard Matheson (1926-2013) Matheson was a brilliant fantasist whose clean prose carved the conceptual landscape for much of what we experience in the realm of film and television today. From his fertile mind came potent episodes for THE TWILIGHT ZONE, STAR TREK, NIGHT GALLERY, and AMAZING STORIES. His novel I AM LEGEND—a seminal influence for Stephen King among other subsequent authors—was filmed thrice, though it seems each successive version lessened his work. He adapted Poe for Corman, DRACULA for Curtis (with Palance as a memorable Vlad turned vampire), and his DUEL helped launch Spielberg. THE NIGHT STALKER showed us how […]
