Our precious homeworld!

Happy Earth Day 2023!

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! Gustav Mahler‘s “Song of the Earth” created a new form of song-cycle symphony, which has inspired a number of later composers to do the same—Shostakovich and Penderecki, to name two. Mahler set Chinese poetry which had been translated into German, and the topics cover quite a number of […]

Daffodils in The Black House garden.

Eggscellent Day!

Today, Christians celebrate their myth of a savior risen from the dead. Some neo-pagans esteem the relatively obscure female deity, Ēostre. Satanists note that traditions for this day stem from ancient seasonal celebrations which tend to include symbolism of the Spring rising of dormant vegetation, and thus “rebirth” and “resurrection.” There is certainly much beauty in the early flowers emerging here in the Haunted Hudson Valley, witness the daffodils from our garden here at The Black House. Since we are free of any holiday obligations, we might choose to ignore this date altogether. Yet, we diabolists may also enjoy whatever […]

Spring flowers at The Black House.

Exquisite Equinox!

Many Satanists mark today’s seasonal pivot point, feeling simpatico with our homeworld’s continuing seasonal cycles. In the Northern Hemisphere, Spring arrives, succeeding Winter’s torpor with a renewed, verdant surging. In the Southern Hemisphere, Autumn soothes after the scorching Summer months. Here in the haunted Hudson Valley, Winter was mostly free of snow, though these last couple of weeks brought several major storms. At last, the snow is vanishing and the bulbs have begun awakening, pushing their way into the stimulating sunlight, delighting us with their vigor. Always such a joy when our garden revivifies!  Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) was, during his […]
