Hail to all of you attuned beings who celebrate the Earth’s successive seasons! Here, in the Northern Hemisphere, Fall’s arrival brings cooler mornings and evenings, with the promise of bountiful harvests to come. The impending touch of frost should, ere long, ignite our trees’ leaves to blaze with vivid colors. Those in the Southern Hemisphere rejoice in the triumph of Spring’s ascending dominance over Winter’s dormancy. They may savor Nature as it rises from stasis, surging forth with renewed vigor. Satanists find it fulfilling to luxuriate in a vital, carnal existence, embracing the majestic cycles of our precious, fragile island […]

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 […]

Today, Christians celebrate their well-worn myth of a savior risen from the dead. Some neo-pagans might esteem the relatively obscure female deity, Ēostre. Satanists note that traditions for this day stem from aspects of the Spring season and thus tend to enjoy the rising of dormant vegetation. There is much beauty in the early flowers now abounding. Since we are free of any holiday obligations, we might choose to ignore this date altogether. Yet, we diabolists may enjoy whatever we find to be pleasing from festivities associated with this time of year. Why not indulge in things that might bring us […]

TO EACH HIS OWN Today, Christians celebrate the well-known myth, lifted from earlier pagan religions, of a savior risen from the dead while some pagans esteem the relatively obscure female deity, Ēostre. What might Satanists do while others honor the “walking dead” Nazarene or a goddess of the dawn? We are free of holiday obligations, so we may ignore this date altogether. However, enjoying whatever one finds pleasing from festivities associated with this time of year would also be proper for we diabolists. While candy is often a part of this day, shunning those wax-like brown effigies of hares and […]
EXQUISITE EQUINOX! The seasonal pivot point occurs today and many Satanists mark that change as we feel at one with the Earth and its continuing cycles. In the Northern Hemisphere Spring arrives, replacing the Winter’s desolation with renewed life surging in triumphant burgeoning. In the Southern Hemisphere, the glory of Autumn shall soon cast its soothing spell after the fiery blasts of Summer, presaging the coming harvest with all of its fertile abundance. Here in the haunted Hudson Valley, we recently experienced Winter’s dramatic last hurrah with about two feet of snow falling in a day. We shall thus be […]
