CLASSICAL NUDES AND THE MAKING OF QUEER HISTORY

The Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art presents a ground-breaking exhibition, curated by Jonathan David Katz, with sculptures and images from antiquity to the present presenting same-sex desire in ways often meant to be “hidden in plain sight” for those who could perceive what had once been celebrated, but over time had become forbidden—even unto pain of death. The nude human form has always served as a means for embodying philosophical ideals suffused with eroticism, and there is much the perceptive viewer will learn from this wide-ranging collection about magical misdirection throughout art history. Under the visionary guidance of […]

STEPHEN ROMANO GALLERY

In the DUMBO arts area of Brooklyn at 111 Front Street you will find The Stephen Romano Gallery spaces. Romano is passionate about art that comes from a dark perspective, pieces often originating from magical thinking with elements that embody diabolical, grotesque and horrific modes of expression. Currently he has three artists in his main space. First are the exquisite, one-of-a-kind prints by William Mortensen. His pieces are small in size and meticulously wrought with imagery that sweeps from the romantic to the ghastly.

SATANISM VS. DEVIL WORSHIP IN THE WASHINGTON POST

If you click on the above image you may read a fine article by Abby Ohlheiser published today by The Washington Post regarding a statement Magus Gilmore made yesterday on our news feed. In his response to Ms. Ohlheiser’s questions, Magus Gilmore pointed out that he holds the media accountable for misrepresenting devil worshippers as Satanists, which leads to their audience being misinformed, and that journalists should take care to make such issues clear to their readers because of the consequences that can result from such misunderstandings. We thank Ms. Ohlheiser for presenting our position on this and other issues, but […]

WHY SATANISM MUST NOT BE CONFUSED WITH DEVIL WORSHIP

Satanism is an atheist philosophy which does not condone sacrifices nor does it support murder. Our stance on criminal acts is that the punishment should fit in kind and degree the crimes committed. The admitted devil worshipper pictured below left is a theist, not a Satanist.

Today murders, beheadings, sexual slavery and torture are stock-in-trade for many people of “faith” and such deeds are often inflicted on those who do not share the beliefs of the perpetrators. Sadly, we can […]
