Many Satanists celebrate today’s pivot point, feeling simpatico with our homeworld’s continuing seasonal cycles. In the Northern Hemisphere, Spring arrives, succeeding Winter’s stasis with gradual verdant vivification. In the Southern Hemisphere, Autumn soothes after the sultry Summer months. Here in the haunted Hudson Valley, Winter was mostly free of snow, except towards the tail end, though frigid temperatures held sway throughout. At last, daytime warmth is returning, though with typical chilly nights. The bulbs have begun awakening, pushing their way into the sunlight, delighting us with early flowers—always such a joy for us when our garden revivifies! Our first crocus […]

Tomorrow begins year LX, Anno Satanas. The departing year brought the loss of three of my very dear friends—two, who were members of our hierarchy, and another, an atheist who felt that if he had to define a specific philosophy for himself, he was inclined to see Satanism as a worthy possibility. As we age, the passing of those who play many roles in our lives is always sobering, for we Satanists never cease to be conscious of our mortality, even as our activities and relationships establish legacies that might touch others in a positive manner. In our ephemerality, we […]

Today I reach my double-six birth anniversary—the 24th of May in common era year 2024—and I mark several significant personal milestones in this current calendar year. As I’d mentioned in my Walpurgisnacht message, two close friends of many decades, both Church of Satan Magisters, finally had to leave the party of life. And, before their passing, another dear friend of mine, the great musicologist Benjamin-Gunnar Cohrs, succumbed to chronic heart issues. He is famous for being part of the SPCM team which worked diligently to complete the finale of the Bruckner 9th Symphony via deep analysis of the copious manuscript […]
There is no “Satanic community”. Learn what Satanists mean by this. Also, Bill answers some listener mail about artificial human companions, doctrines of superiority, and an anecdote about one Satanist’s conspiracy theorist co-worker.
“Let’s you and him fight!” cry the onlookers who’d like to see Satanists spar with Christians for their public entertainment. Let’s not. Also: the Satanic calendar year, I-Theism, and a surprising email from Nigeria.
Tomorrow begins year LIX, Anno Satanas. For the new year, we of the Church of Satan have something fine to celebrate. Director Scott Cummings, of BUFFALO JUGGALOS fame, approached us before the pandemic struck with the concept of doing an artistic portrait of the contemporary Church of Satan. Not a didactic documentary, rather it is an effort to visually present our vital members engaging in their passions and their arts, woven together with the ritual traditions established by our founder, Anton Szandor LaVey. Cummings filmed over the course of several years, criss-crossing the USA, and also shooting in Canada and […]
