Much has been written in Church of Satan Canon about Greater Magic and Ritual; it is encouraged that all Satanists engage in ritual at least once, and many have, in some form or another. But what about the new Satanist, or the one who has avoided Greater Magic and Ritual altogether? Is there a “right” way or a “wrong” way to perform a ritual? Do we really need everything in our literature? What are we supposed to think about while we’re in the Ritual Chamber? On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanist Robert Shirley is joined by Church […]
Newly added to our downloads page is an annotated reading list concerning the years of The Satanic Panic by Autumn Sword, The Satanic Skeptic. Many of us lived through this harrowing time of urban legends which lead to Christian evangelists having captured time on many talk shows, with their sensationalist and nonsensical claims that there existed a conspiracy of “satanists” out to get your pets, your kids, and to dominate the world while making sloppy graffiti in various public spaces as well as desecrating graveyards in a willy nilly manner. Rampant false claims of ritual child abuse and sacrifice spread […]
We Satanists consider Halloween to be a holiday that celebrates the outsider, the other, those who are not like most. It is on this night that individuals who keep it to but once a year tend to explore their own quirks and inner-darknesses by wearing costumes that often reveal aspects of themselves typically hidden during the rest of their life journey. I suggest that, whatever your path of self-definition might be, it can be empowering to find a mode of dress that excites you, that ignites your fantasies, that fulfills aspects of your multi-layered persona, as this can be cathartic […]
Happy Halloween! Answering some listener mail questions on Satanic ritual (from the ritualistic expression of wearing Satanic symbols, to use of the Infernal Names, to finding Satanists for full Satanic group ritual) along with Satanically philosophical takes on “respecting life” and not-so-sincere questions.
A deep look into the so-called 7 Fundamental Tenets: the prank group who created them, their history of being changed, why they have nothing to do with Satanism, and how they compare to similar lists created in modern times.
Parenting: the process of raising children and providing them with protection and care in order to ensure their healthy development into adulthood. But what about the Satanic parent? Are there any responsibilities we have as Satanic parents, such as teaching our children about who we are and what we believe? On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanist Robert Shirley welcomes Satanist Karl Svensson to discuss Satanism and parenting, and our responsibilities with the next generation. The Neutral Wisdom Podcast is a podcast dedicated to passing on knowledge and experience from a Satanic perspective, hosted by Satanist Robert Shirley. […]
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 […]
