Stanford Murder & Definition of Satanism His definition of a satanic murder? “It would have to be committed by two or more people to have some kind of a spiritual or religious connotation, you have to have multiple people involved,” Lanning said. – ABC 7 News, “40 years later, satanic reference still tied to Stanford murder” This definition ignores the importance of determining from what religion the “spiritual or religious” connotation has arisen. Satanism is a carnal, not a spiritual, religion. Our principles are against rape and murder. Even if someone misappropriates our symbols for use in a crime, it does […]
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAGUS GILMORE! Happy birthday to me! Today is the 60th anniversary of my birth, and as this month began so did my 18th year as the High Priest of the Church of Satan. As has become my tradition, I enjoy giving those who are interested in my work a small gift. Back in the late 1980s I wrote a short story which is a sequel to H. P. Lovecraft’s THE MUSIC OF ERICH ZANN titled ZANN’S REPRISE. I went back to my original version of the tale and did some minor polishing and am offering it as a […]

Noisey Asks Magus Peter H. Gilmore, “Is Satan Still Cool?” “Satan is a potent symbol for the rare few who champion individualism, regardless of their age. If you can embrace the power that pride in personal achievement brings, and can be tolerant of differing points of view, yet pursue your own self-determined course—despite pressure to conform exerted by collectivists and authoritarians across the political and religious spectrum—then Satan always serves as a formidable and inspirational archetype of strength, liberty and iconoclasm. That seems pretty cool to me.” Read the full article at Vice.com

In 1992, the US Congress deemed January 16th as Religious Freedom Day in celebration of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom passed on January 16 of 1786. This act is a significant precursor of the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The full text of the act can be read here. Let me extract its final paragraph: “Be it enacted by General Assembly that no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or […]
Sex Dolls & Satanism: An Overview The following is Magus Peter H. Gilmore’s statement provided to Rob Waugh of the Metro UK in preparation for his piece on the connection between The Church of Satan and the sex doll trend: Greetings: Anton LaVey promoted the idea of “artificial human companions” as a means for people to exercise sexual or other drives with a device that might gratify their fantasies without having to involve other human beings. This would permit complete control over the details of the fantasy. Of course, the ability to find porn that addresses numerous fetishes so easily […]
