Kenneth Anger and Brian Butler’s Technicolor Skull’s “Mark VI” Review Heathen Harvest editor and podcaster Reverend Raul Antony presents the following review of the latest tape release from Kenneth Anger and Brian Butler’s Technicolor Skull project. Forget for a moment who made this, and just listen to it—although ‘listen to’ is not quite the correct injunction because this is not music in any normal sense. Mark VI is entirely free of conventional referents or of any consensual reality signifiers. There is no discernible structure nor anything resembling movement or progression. There is no resolution and no obvious beginnings or endings either. […]

INDEPENDENCE DAY Today in the USA we mark the “birthday” of what our founders intended to be a secular republic. Americans popularly use this day, or the nearby weekend, as a means to enjoy a summer holiday with convivial gatherings, barbecues, and evening fireworks displays while commercial enterprises lure folks towards capitalist excess with varied sales for their wares and services. While we partake or refrain from all of this as we please, Satanists also make time to reflect on the significance of the manifestation of this country whose expressed values favor self-determination for its citizens. Satanism champions freedom, individualism […]
Satanism is Americanism! Then and Now On this upcoming Independence Day some of us will look back at these words by our founder Anton LaVey and reflect on what’s changed and what remains the same. After being confronted with the factions vying for influence over our society, many conservatives have unfortunately chosen God over The Flag, betraying the clear secularism of our Founding Fathers. Our nation again finds itself in a struggle between partisan extremes from which I trust a new clear-thinking generation will arise to cut through and find a Third Side, embracing and continuing the progress we’ve made […]

Manifestos of M’lle New York by Vance Thompson M’lle New York was a journal of arts and literature published in New York City 1895-1896. Editors Vance Thompson (1863-1925) and James Huneker (1857-1921) introduced important fin-de-siècle personalities to the Americas, among them Knut Hamsun, Stanislaw Przybyszewski, Edward Munch, Ibsen, and Verlaine. This anthology of essays from M’lle New York is printed in a strictly limited run of sixty-six numbered copies. For the first time in a century, you may now read Thompson’s dynamite editorials in print.
