Happy Birthday Magus Gilmore!
To celebrate his 51st birthday today, Magus Gilmore has decided to give the readers of this site a gift: eight tracks of his own music from the early 1990s. Click on this link to visit the page where you can download these pieces, if you please.
Dr. Mark Birnbaum Returns!
Another brilliant recording of a performance by the truly magical team of Dr. Mark Birnbaum, piano, and Dr. William Schimmel, accordion. Only two tracks here: First an extended improvisation that lasts almost 36 minutes, then a 10 minute track. Both will transport you!
WEATHERWATCH is a continuous collaborative improvisation with a relentless Hip Hop beat. On occasion, we hear snippets of Liszt’s Hungarian Fantasy. SCRIABIN AT A PICNIC WITH THIS MISTRESS AND BIOGRAPHER is inspired by the photograph bearing the same title. It’s an acid pastoral in suspended time with occasional references to Scriabin’s Poem of Ecstasy.
Both pieces were created spontaneously in real time and in one take. There was no editing whatsoever. Click on the album cover above to place your order.
Produced by Sydknee
IPS/STUDIO MUSE RECORDSWEATHER WATCH – FREE JAZZ is the second in a series of Three CDS exploring long form improvisation and highly referential materials. The first is DUALITY WRECKS.
Last Walpurgisnacht, Warlock Ænigma announced the opening of a new Dutch messageboard on the topic of Satanism.
Adding to his existing Dutch website (www.desduivels.info/) and blog on the subject, Des Duivels Forum is a place where Satanism and things of Satanic interest can be discussed by Dutch speakers.Registering an account is required for participation. Note that the forum and interaction there is, like the website and weblog, entirely in Dutch. It can be found by clicking on the above banner or following this link: http://www.desduivels.info/forum.

APOCALYPSE CULTURE
14 May, XLIV A.S.:
Everyone at Evening Eclipse has a deep, dark love for those little creatures of the night who are misunderstood and feared above all else. The bat is a global symbol of our darkest fears yet they are an essential part of our eco-system that we as humans cannot live without. Bats are continually killed due to myths, superstition and fear, even though they eat millions of bugs nightly, and bring us approximately 450 commercial products. Everyone at Evening Eclipse felt it was time to take a stand and do what we could to help out the bat population, so we are running an Adopt-a-Bat program, which we will adopt a bat in your name via the Bat World Sanctuary. If you would like more information on how you can help out please visit our website at - www.eveningeclipse.com
It’s the sixth anniversary of THE DEVIL’S MISCHIEF!
In celebration of Radio Free Satan's show of “Carnal Comedy Clips and Netherworld Novelty Numbers,” host Reverend Bill M. presents the BANANA III special. This long awaited follow-up to the infamous “Banana” episodes will, like its predecessors, contain a great dose of comedy, novelty and trivia dedicated to that special healthful yet suggestive fruit, the banana. The free podcast will be available on RadioFreeSatan.com from May 11th through May 24th.
The Quintessentials, featuring Warlock Les Hernandez and Citizen
George Devita, of the Church of Satan, will be headlining the
Crypticon Horror Convention V.I.P. Pre-Party in Seattle, Washington,

30 April, XLIV A.S.:
“Wicked Walpurgisnacht!” to true Satanists the world over!
Tonight we celebrate the forty-third anniversary of the founding of the Church of Satan.
Our tenebrous fellowship continues to spread and in the process yet more of our cohort finds society worthy of being shown the potency of Satanism as a tool towards attaining a deeply satisfying life—for the proper sort of carnal individual. Thus, ever more of our fellows—the only true Satanists—stand forth to shatter herd misconceptions, blast the daffy devil worshippers and the spiritually obsessed, while providing a source of envy for all who must look on our richly fulfilling lives and be but bereft spectators. The world IS ours, and we enjoy it to the fullest and share it with those whom we’ve honored with our esteem.
We raise our tiki mugs this year in celebration of the coming gathering at Reverend Netherworld’s sinister Black House Hudson. The avuncular Reverend is an avatar of Dr. LaVey’s own warm hospitality and his stately manse a resonant fellow to that brooding San Francisco original.
Hail to our potent comrades!
Hail Anton Szandor LaVey!
Hail Satan!

Foreword by Church of Satan High Priest Peter H. Gilmore.
Afterword by Church of Satan High Priestess Peggy Nadramia.
“Magister James D. Sass is a sterling example of what it means to have studied! I’m not just referring simply to subjects common to the world of academia, but also the full gamut of alternative subjects related to the human animal and its variations of behavior, most of which are subjects that nobody is willing to talk about or even acknowledge. His writings and keen observations over the years are those of an engaging Satanic master who has devoured literally tons of lore throughout his life through his love of books. He has gained an uncompromising Satanic street sense through the varied experiences of his very interesting and sometimes macabre past. Here is wisdom and observation firmly grounded in Satanic bedrock from a true outsider! One who was born that way!”

SCI-FI/ UFO/ OCCULT/ CONSPIRACY
APOCALYPSE CULTURE
11 April, XLIV A.S.:
Today we celebrate the anniversary of the birth of
Magus Anton Szandor LaVey.
Hail Doktor!
Anton LaVey gave us all a marvelous gift in his creation of the world’s first carnal religion.
Unlike the rest of existing creeds, his philosophy is devoid of the spiritual. He did not claim to be Satan’s emissary. He did not tell us to seek congress with “higher powers” or supernatural intelligences. Instead, he had the boldness to sweep away all deities and hierarchies of mythological beings, leaving each Satanist alone, but as his or her own god, and what an exhilarating position that is to be in!
And this set of ideas reflects the nature of the Satanist, which means never to be attracted to the myriad flavors of belief systems that have always been the crutch needed by the majority of the human race. The Satanist from birth has a maturity which does not require supernatural or governmental parental figures. We view with pity those seekers after succor from non-existing beings. There will always be humans eager to take advantage of that weakness and they’ll fashion creeds galore for those poor saps.
During that “occult explosion” of the 1960s, the Church of Satan was unique in its rock-solid rejection of faith. Dr. LaVey was no guru looking to sell self-abnegation and submissiveness to “divine” or “infernal” authority. Instead he challenged the daring few to hold dominion over their destinies. And as the founder and leader of what quickly became a worldwide movement, unlike others, he did not become drunk with power, nor did he demand that his colleagues must parrot his aesthetics. He offered those brave enough to share with him the label “Satanist” the freedom to cultivate their own proclivities, and that is truly a rare achievement. His epiphany was one of singularity—that we each stand solitary and must take command of our lives by being our own Gods. That is for the valiant few to whom it comes naturally.
On this day we too stand, each alone but in glorious concert, with those who share our audacity and exhibit the hallmarks of being a Satanist—faithless and proud, as was Dr. LaVey at the founding of the Church of Satan.
We salute you, dear departed Magus, and offer to you in return our greatest possible tribute, the gift of our creations which are wrought with the breadth of our inventiveness expressing the range of our individuality.
Nothing would have made him prouder than to see you all in the exquisite fecundity of your productivity.
Hail Anton Szandor LaVey!
Hail Satan!

THE BLOG CHRISTIAN CHILD ABUSE
http://christianchildabuse.blogspot.com/
For over forty years, delusional and lying Christians have accused Satanists of committing all manner of atrocities toward children without any evidence. This is ironic considering the pervasive occurrence of prolonged systematic child abuse among the various Christian churches and denominations, and among others abusing positions of trust in the Jewish and Islamic Synagogues and Mosques.
Enough hypocrisy. We all know who the sick, deranged child abusers really are: the sanctimonious frauds of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic traditions.
In fact, you could go so far as to say that child abuse IS a Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition!
This blog, founded by Magister Svengali, is now administered by Priestess Magda Graham. It consists almost entirely of newspaper articles telling of christian priests convicted of child abuse and churches going bankrupt as they are ordered to pay damages to victims. We have only been running a few months and, to date, we have 103 items; 19 added in March 2009.
The rotten edifice is crumbling.
If you find a significant article, please PM Priestess Magda Graham at the message board Letters to the Devil.
Citizen G. Edwin Taylor will be giving away postcards and
signing a 6" x 9" postcard featuring his latest painting at his table.

Infernalia is Unleashed!
This is an essential compendium which belongs on every Satanist’s bookshelf!
With an Introduction by Magus Peter H. Gilmore.
“From time to time we get glimpses of some past event regarding the dynamics of Satanism and the Church of Satan. Infernalia is more than just a glimpse, it is a living, dynamic compendium of the workings of the mind of Magister Michael Rose, whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with and knowing for many years.
“At first glance you might think the essays and articles you are about to read are just a trip down memory lane. Far from that, they are gemstones of the day, full of luster, subjects that still hold sway to this day, and give you an insight into the mind of not only a Satanist, but a high ranking member of the Priesthood of Mendes. Sharp and direct, with a no-prisoners-taken approach.
“Satanists look to the future armed with the knowledge and experience from the past, and act upon that today. Infernalia is a tome for doing just that: bringing forth the future, a diabolical future in this everlasting world of ours.
“I am pleased and honored to be able to strongly encourage you to obtain this book, profit from its contents, and apply what you find within.”

SCHLITZE’S DAY:
A RESOUNDING SUCCESS!
On February 20, 2009, a group of friends from www.findadeath.com got together to hold a memorial service for Schlitze the Pinhead, who’s earthly remains lay in an unmarked grave for nearly 40 years. Nearly four hundred dollars—to get Schlitze his marker.
Early Friday morning (20th) they enjoyed breakfast at Dupar’s (Farmers Market location in Hollywood, California,) then it was off to the cemetery in Scott Michael’s Dearly Departed special funeral tours van. In addition to being the creator of findadeath, Scott runs one of the most successful tour services in Southern California.
Following a beautiful journey to Queen Of Heaven Cemetery in Rowland Heights, California where Schlitze’s remains are interred in a now-marked grave (see photo above), those in attendance dressed the gravesight in beautiful floral arrangements, and the Reverend Bryan Moore of the Church of Satan—himself an enormous Schlitze fan and historian—magnificently delivered an extremely well-constructed eulogy accompanied by a brief, emotional tribute to Schlitze by writer-composer-musician-producer Verne Langdon, who actually met, observed and knew Schlitze.
Part One: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QChOCz9zxS8
Part Two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW_zA8G5z2s
~SCHLITZEPHILES ONE & ALL~
Following nearly an hour attending the service and enjoying photo ops at the Schlitze gravesight, the group of nearly 30 Schlitzephiles from all over the United States proceeded to world-famous downtown Los Angeles’ local eatery Philippe’s. Philippe’s was a part of Schlitze’s life in that he—along with other members of the legendary Paul Eagles Circus & Carnival Club—dined there often when wintering in Southern California. Following Philippe’s it was on to hallowed haunts of Schlitze, including MacArthur Park in downtown Los Angeles where Schlitze woud chase the ducks and his caretakers would sell his never-ending supply of souvenir photos from Schlitze’s glory days on the various carnival midways. Schlitze's last known residence as verified on his official certificate of death, and of course the county care facility—Fountain View—in Hollywood, California, where Schlitze spent 48 hours or so before expiring on September 24, 1971, of broncho pneumonia brought on by medullary depression.
The day was memorable for so many reasons, and may turn into an annual event, held on the 20th of February each and every year, the day we have come to know and love as “Schlitze's Day”!

~EPILOGUE~
“Schlitzie—he had no choice. As I grew older I had a choice. I could stay in show business if I wanted to. He had no choice, so—I don't know how to express it about him but he—he just wasn’t able to do anything else. Quite often you would get a crowd that thought they were funny, that they were funny and they would torment him or something like that but usually there were some roustabouts around that would see that that was broken up in a hurry and they were not allowed to torment him.”

“Darwin Day is a global celebration of science and reason held on or around Feb. 12, the birthday anniversary of evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin. This year marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth.”

Roger Nygard’s The Nature of Existence Premiere
“Why are we here, and who are we? What started the Universe, and was it a mistake? Does God exist, and why is he so interested in our sex lives? After exploring the phenomenon of Trekkies (Cinequest, 1998) and the world of car salesmen with his dark comedy Suckers (Cinequest, 2000), filmmaker Roger Nygard takes on The Nature of Existence. As he roams the globe to the source of each of the world’s philosophies, religions, and belief systems, Nygard interviews spiritual leaders, scholars, scientists, artists, pizza chefs, and others who have influenced, inspired, or freaked out humanity.” --Michael Rabehl
This documentary will be premiered on the closing night of the CINEQUEST film festival in San Jose, California. Magus Gilmore was interviewed and so Satanism will be included in this broad survey. Click on this link for information about the screening.

DAVID E. WILLIAMS:
NEW CD!!!
Disques de Lapin of Boston (www.eskimofilms.com)
is proud to announce the release of
EVERY MISSING DUCK IS A DUCK MISSED
Mr. Williams first full-length CD of new material since 2004.The official press release:
“Tragedy renders the monster human. Williams' 5th full length release is decidedly his most eclectic. Largely inspired by the grief and futility following the illness and death of his girlfriend, the album veers from somber piano ballads to nostalgic pop to at least one grandiose epic with virtuoso live drums, odd time signatures and dissonant tone clusters (while still remaining catchy!) Longtime cohort Jerome Deppe gets the longest guitar solo of his career as well as his VERY FIRST harmonica solo (in the deceptively titled hoedown "Kill Yourself in Cape May"). There are also 4 cover tunes and a witty Zevonesque take on the life of Idi Amin. A local and national cast of musical luminaries* fleshes out the sound of David at his most organic and confessional.”

PATRICIA HALL
(Running February 6 through March 22, 2009)
How often does a small gallery host work in an ancient tradition that flourishes in its own backyard? (well, at least in its home state?) The hex signs of the so called “Pennsylvania Dutch” are part of American lore, as mythically synonymous with Pennsylvania as the Liberty Bell, shoo-fly pie and Joe Paterno. But their magical significance goes well beyond mere decoration. “Deitsch” is the word in dialect for Pennsylvania German. “Heathen” refers to Germanic Heathenry, or the religion/culture of the indigenous European tribes prior to Christianity. “Hexology” is the magical practice of painting “Hex signs,” known in the PA German dialect as “Hexafoos” or “Hexezeeche.” The translation would be “witch feet” or “witch signs.”
Hunter and Valúlfr will also be available to sign copies of Hunter’s HEXOLOGY CALENDAR, Valúlfr’s CORPUS RUNICA and the latest issue of HEX MAGAZINE, to which they both contributed articles!Germ Books + Gallery, LLC

THE JERSEY DEVIL IS HERE
Out now is the third release from Darren Deicide entitled "The Jersey Devil is Here," available at major outlets like Amazon.com and CD Baby as well as off the official homepage of Darren Deicide.
“The Jersey Devil is Here” captures the raw energy and dark meanders that have come to define the sound of Darren Deicide. Unlike many recordings today, “The Jersey Devil is Here” was recorded completely in analog reel-to-reel with no digital fixing. "John Lee Hooker meets Johnny Rotten", "raw, bluesy punk by a one-man dervish", and "a growling voice that makes Satan himself feel as if he is not sinister enough" have all been used in reviews to describe this purveyor of whiskey-fueled punk-boogie. "The Jersey Devil is Here" comes in a digipak layout complete with a full-color 12 page booklet.
About The Musician:
Always a fixture on the independent music scene, Darren Deicide would ultimately ramble his way to New Jersey. There he initiated Ever Reviled Records, a collectively owned and run record label that releases counter-cultural music, and became vocalist/guitarist for the now defunct, politically-charged rock band Hopeless Dregs of Humanity from whose remnants emerged his solo project. He maintains a continuous touring schedule and has played with a diverse array of notable artists all over the American east coast, south, and midwest that has spanned from Dead Prez to Danny and the Juniors. He's played on Fox 5's "Good Day New York" as a featured artist on the Make Music New York festival. In addition he has been featured at Louisville, KY's Good Folk Fest and at Washington, NJ's "Festival in the Borough" amongst many other festivals. He is also a columnist for The Aquarian Weekly where his column, 'Agent Provocateur', affirms his reputation as a firebrand.
