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 […]

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! Igor Stravinsky wrote “Pastorale,” a brief vocalise, in 1907, having composed it at his family’s estate in Ustilug, Ukraine. In 1933 he made a couple of different transcriptions. I’m offering a performance by members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by that sorcerer of sound, Leopold Stokowski. Follow […]

Hail Anton Szandor LaVey!

Hail Anton Szandor LaVey—The Man Who Codified Satanism!

Born on this day in 1930, our dear founder lived a life that was ever carnal, that seemed destined to crystallize in that ultimate act of iconoclasm, the founding of the Church of Satan in 1966—which he declared our Year One.

Hail Anton Szandor LaVey—one helluva guy! Shemhamforash! Hail Satan! —Magus Peter H. Gilmore

The Neutral Wisdom Podcast: The Music of Lesser Magic with Magister Bill M.

The Music of Lesser Magic with Magister Bill M. Music and Lesser Magic: Both tools which can be used to evoke a response from people. We put a set of notes together to make music, or we put a set of skills together to make magic; in either case, we achieve our desired outcomes through influence. As such, is there a correlation between music theory (the “language” of music) and the elements we need to employ in Lesser Magic (the “language” of Lesser Magic)? On this Season 3 premiere episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanist Robert Shirley discusses music […]
