THE GENTLEMAN DOWNSTAIRS AND OTHER SATANIC PARABLES AND FABLES These parables and fables embody wicked insights found in literature by Anton LaVey and Peter Gilmore from the Church of Satan. Like Gilmore did in his The Satanic Scriptures, I’m using the word “parables” as an intentionally theatrical oxymoron. Parables have been so tied to Christian teachings that I wanted to try and decouple the two; since at its root, a parable is simply a short allegorical story. I included fables because many of the characters in the pieces are animals or inanimate objects. The first part of the site’s title […]

Church of Satan Sigil of Baphomet

Wicked Walpurgisnacht! In this Year 50 Anno Satanas, tonight we celebrate the 49th anniversary of the founding of the Church of Satan. Around the globe we witness extremist theism casting its ugly pall, bringing death, slavery, and torture to countless individuals. It is time for those who cherish reason, merit and civilization to bestir themselves to stem this tsunami of reactionary regression so that our species may more actively pursue knowledge and creation towards ever-expanding realms of undefiled wisdom. Anton LaVey’s profound insights into the nature of the beast called Man have never been more relevant. Those carnal individuals whose […]

Happy Birthday Magus Gilmore!

Please join us in celebrating Magus Gilmore’s highest holiday today, as we appreciate the man who has been guiding the Church of Satan as our High Priest for 13 years.

If you have not read his book, The Satanic Scriptures, now is a fine time to explore the essays and rituals contained therein (available in seven languages). A selection of his topical writings can be found here. You might also enjoy some of […]

WICKED WALPURGISNACHT!

Tonight, during hours of darkness traditionally noted for legendary Infernal activity, we celebrate the 48th anniversary of the founding of the Church of Satan. Magus Anton Sandor LaVey’s insightful vision continues to inspire an ever-expanding cohort of creative and intelligent individuals around the globe. We wield Satanism as a precise tool towards fulfilling our lives, confidently directing our destinies while sharing vital existence with cherished fellows. No moment is wasted as we pursue our chosen indulgences to the best of our abilities. We flame and toss the fires about us, warming those near with the energy of our existence. The […]
