The Satanic Witch

21 posts

The Satanic Witch was written by Anton Szandor LaVey, originally titled The Compleat Witch, or What to Do When Virtue Fails and published in 1971 by Dodd, Mead & Company. It is entirely about Lesser Satanic Magic, and focused on empowering Satanic Witches.

Killer Heels

At the Brooklyn Museum in New York, a special exhibition is celebrating the art of the high-heeled shoe. “Killer Heels” reminds me of Magus Anton Szandor LaVey’s essay, “The Witch’s Shoe as Weaponry,” in which he suggests methods for utilizing this icon of feminine power as an actual weapon of self-defense. LaVey also details the aesthetic magic of high heels in The Satanic Witch. “Killer Heels,” open until February 15, 2015, is surely a worthwhile pilgrimage for witches and any other, ahem, enthusiasts.

The Secret Conversation

Men say, “uh,” and women prefer, “um,” according to a recent study of conversational filler words. It seems that, in many cases, “uh” is used by men to prevent others from speaking, while “um” shows that a woman might be listening or thinking. This is in keeping with the gender contrasts explored most unabashedly in Anton LaVey’s The Satanic Witch. So if an outwardly macho man says “um,” that could be your secret clue that he’s hiding a more sensitive side. That’s what we call, uh, Lesser Magic. —Warlock M. Mandrake

Old-Time Whiskey Punch

High Priestess Nadramia and Magister Netherworld (cocktailvultures.com) craft magical potions for your pleasure. They continue a practice begun by Dr. LaVey in the chapter “E.S.P.: Extra Sensual Projection” from his book The Satanic Witch. Satanists enjoy well-chosen and wisely moderated indulgences, so follow the Cocktail Vultures motto: “Always drink responsibly; always drink well.” Cheers! To life!
