Satansplain #080 – The Satanic Rituals (part 1 of 3)

In 1972, Anton Szandor LaVey released The Satanic Rituals, the companion book to The Satanic Bible. Yet it seems to be the one book of LaVey’s which Satanists often pay the least attention to. Satansplain presents a 3-episode exploration of The Satanic Rituals. Part 1 starts with a preliminary debunking of common Satanic ritual misconceptions, an overview of the “whys” and “hows” of Satanic ritual, some history on the book itself, an initial peek into the book’s contents, and a look at the general underlying human urge for ritual.

REALM OF SATAN—Tiki bar in The Black House

REALM OF SATAN @ Viennale!

From director Scott Cummings: “So happy to be in VIENNA next week for the Austrian premiere of REALM OF SATAN at Viennale. Vienna is sort of the second home base of the film because we did so much work there and a lot of people who worked on the film live there—also it’s the deathplace of Bruckner. So thrilled to share it at one of my favorite festivals. It will also PROBABLY be the last fest I attend for this film—going out on the highest note possible. See you there!!!” REALM OF SATAN @ Viennale FR. 25 OKT 21:15 Urania […]
