SHOP AT HOME DEPOT and keep a devil worshiper on food stamps!

SUPPORT HOME DEPOT!
Hardware Chain demands responsibility from a Joy of Satan member (leading Ygraine to wish them a hearty “good luck!”)

First, read this nonsense:
Devil Worshiper Indulges in Victim Mentality

Well,
I am doing a little jig! Anything that potentially upsets a Joy of
Satan retard makes my fucking day! According to the sheep leader of
this organization:

They do this to one of us, they
do this to ALL of us. In retaliation, we ask that our people do not do
business with Home Depot in any way. There are many other stores out
there that sell the same line of items.

It appears
that those Joy of Satan retards are unaware of , or do not support the
rights of corporations to run their businesses as they see fit.
Apparently they believe employees use of a computer belonging to a
company and the internet
paid for by that company has no boundaries and that an employee should
have free rein to use that which is not theirs to their damaged little
heart’s content.

WRONG.

Unless the company is breaking a
legitimate law said company is allowed to place whatever restrictions
it wants to on it’s employees. Home Depot has every right in the world,
regardless of reason, to say “Hey, you work for US, and we don’t want
you using our internet account and our computers to play at religion, or surf porn, or find coupons. You can do that shit at home.!”

Points of Interest:

1. Face it, anything that fucks with Joy of Satan makes me giddy.
2.
Boycotting IS a legitimate and possibly the only truly effective method
of protest, but somehow I think Home Depot won’t be missing the
whopping .89 cents these cheap bastards might drop for some super glue.
3. In this economy anyone who quits a job over something that they can do at home is a moron.
4.
This sort of victim cry about discrimination HURTS those who have a
genuine case. When everyone jumps on the victim bandwagon legitimate
victims get lost in the fray.
5. So, um, where is Satan and his
demons to help this poor afflicted soul? Joy of Satan says “We know
Satan and his Demons are real beings. “ So why didn’t the blood-letting, the “meditations<“ and the whole soul selling thing keep Mr. Whiney in a job?

In
happy conclusion, if nothing else, Joy of Satan is so busy being
anti-Semitic devil worshipers that they neglect to remind their members
that nothing beats lesser magic for surviving day to day. Relinquishing
your responsibility to Satan is no different than doing the same to God.

Neither will help you earn a dime.

Yet,
despite all evidence to the contrary, Joy of Satan still follows the
Christian way of doing things, as demonstrated by the following from
bigot and psychotic Maxine Deitrich:
........

..Given my excess of responsibility, I have left the issue in the hands of Satan. Satan told High Priest Salem Burke "What they do to my own, they do to me." He knows who these people are. It is only a matter of time. ..

Change Satan for God and there is no difference whatsoever.

Happy New Year!

This is my Satanic New Year Post for my friends at Blogspot, Undercroft and Myspace.  Yeah, I know, a few days late, but like all good Satanists, real life comes first, and with 5 kids, and 1 grandchild, including a New Years Day birthday, I have been up to my tits in holiday celebrations and get to-gethers,.  Yeah, that is right.  This  Satanic family sang songs about chestnuts and jingling bells, ate turkeys and pies, opened presents (one must do one's part to stimulate the economy,) and took family photos beneath the tree.

Now, I am sure any Christians reading this, and I have been assured that some do, will either think I am lying or that it is some sort of blasphemy for a family like mine to celebrate Christmas.  To them I'd likely be a poster child for the need to put CHRIST back in Christmas.  The thought of  brothers and sister, raised Satanically, along with ex-husbands and new in-laws, small children and members of the Church of Satan Magistrate all joyfully sharing in each other's company under the banner of a Christian myth must seriously confuse and enrage some Christians to the point of distraction.

Likewise devil worshippers and the theists/spirituals/traditionals would feel I am somehow less Satanic for celebrating  these Christian traditions, which is ironic because their very existence is dependent on Christian mythology..  Yet, their need for rebellion would allow them to view anyone who celebrates this holiday with contempt and disdain.  They would  rather deny themselves the pleasures of the season  and bitch and moan, instead of embracing the truly Satanic theme of indulgence  and eat some kick-ass pie!  'sad.  'So very sad.

However, the season has not been totally without work.  I have spent quite a lot of time creating a chart that explains the differences between Satanism, Christianity and the assorted heretics who attempt to fly the Satanic colors.  The chart started as an attempt at satire and instead has turned into a genuinely interesting and educational model that could explain a lot in  a very small amount of time to those who know nothing about the differences between Satanism and what Heretics practice.   I intend to publish it here and also use it in future training of both Satanists and secular students alike.  It would probably be done  were it not for the continued stupidity of the Heretics.  Every time I think it is finished one of these stupid groups post/publish some new display of epic stupidity and BINGO!  Re-writes abound.

Finally, I have some people to thank for helping get me through the past year.  These people may not know how much help they've been, be it literal or inspirational, but I have no doubt that without them I'd be in a rubber room, swimming in a sea of xanax, thinking I am Napoleon or something.

P&P., David H., Lex, Rob-n-Di, Matt, Kenaz, Phineas (who checks on my medical condition more regularly than my neurosurgeon!) Caudell, Daark, ---Intentional or not, you have all given me strength  and inspired me.  When I was under attack you all stood by and reminded me that I have friends, support and  that the CoS has my back.  I wish you all knew how much I adore you.

In the Christian world one is supposed to love God above all else, and then love our neighbors  equally.  That is such bullshit.   Nothing comes before my kids and God can take one right in the rear!  I have the greatest kids in the world, and while every mom thinks that, I can back up my claim.  If the Neitzchean adage about  that which doesn't kill you has any value, my kids are walking proof of strength.  Throw my son-in-law and my grandson in the mix and there is a veritable wall  that no one can come through or go around.  When we stand together  we are undefeatable.  We have proved this time and time again, and all my gratitude goes to the three witches and two wizards, who make every day magical.

My mundane life would have fallen apart were it not for B & L, the kindest most generous friends a witch could have.

Ozma saved the day more than once, as she always has and never understands how grateful I am to her, for everything.
Lastly-all my love to-my Jim..  He is my home.

Magistra Ygraines Various Satanic Rants

The Worst of the Worst: Joy Of Satan

Five minutes ago as I was finishing up the research to write this blog, my beloved Magister Mitchell asked me what was wrong with Joy of Satan Ministries? Out of my mouth popped " Well, if you read everything I have ever written about what is wrong with non-CoS Satanism and put it all in one place, BINGO! You'd have Joy of Satan Ministries." I wish I had been exaggerating.

Usually it makes sense to not name offending organizations because it often gives these losers a sort of reverse validation. To even know that they are being noticed by us makes them giddy with the sort of joy only willing victims can revel in. This group is such an object lesson, such a textbook description of everything wrong that I can find no way around addressing them by name and addressing them completely. Joy of Satan is a spiritual devil worshiping sect heavy on anti-Semites and white supremacy (except for Native Americans, 'go figure,because their High Priest, a Salem Burke, has Indian blood) which advocates recruitment of kids, blood ritual, appeasement magic, and historical revisionism. When I write about what makes Satanists look bad---these are them.
Not long ago some moron complained that I had written that there was no Satanism prior to 1966. This Hawking clone wrote "Bullshit! What about Joy of Satan?" I had never heard of these people before and did some preliminary searches to find this group began in the late 90's/early 00's. Historical chronology apparently is not part of the training. The leader is a lady called Maxine Deitrich, which is not her real name, but who cares? Most of us in this line of work use a pseudonym--no sin there. The mailing address is Tulsa Oklahoma and they seem to have legitimate credentials regarding copyrighting their material and being a legal religious institution. 'can't gripe about that. Which is just as well because there is so much to complain about that I may not stop writing until Christmas. Let us start with their basic philosophy:

Their Black Book

In a nutshell, these people believe in a literal deity named Satan, who they call "Father Satan" and he has all the bells and whistles of god. They literally worship and pray to him. They are the stereotypical satanists as envisioned by every uneducated christian schmuck. That much i had been prepared for. The trouble is that I found this link under this heading: "More Tips for Teens....Father Satan states in the Black Book we are to keep his secrets!"

This is outrageously irresponsible! If it isn't criminal, it should be.

I would be/have been deeply offended when Christians of all stripes have tried to recruit/propagandize/proselytize/minister to my children. It just isn't cool. Parents have a right to raise their kids as they see fit, the only exception being abuse. When the child turns 18 and is no longer the parent's responsibility, all bets are off, but until then NO ONE has the right to undermine the authority of a legal guardian. Ever. Period.

That this bitch would have the balls not only to direct this detritus at kids, but then tell them to lie to their parents as a religious mandate from a literal god-form named Satan is inexcusable. She is handing the mainstream their biggest fears on a platter. She is embodying the very lies I have worked for decades to dispel, and I take it really personally, as a Satanist, a parent, and a woman. She has forfeited her vagina as far as I am concerned.

However--before we move on, here are some goodies worth a giggle:

Once you become really strong in Satan, Christian symbols, prayers and related become unbearable and literally sickening.....because if you join up with my group you are that weak and powerless. By adopting Satan as a literal deity you are giving power to the very thing you claim to be against.
If you are forced to take the communion host, you can hold it in your mouth, ask to use the restroom and spit it in the toilet. ...because those Catholic wafers have real power and if you swallow them Satan will be pissed....you might get a halo.
Remember, Christianity is a false religion with a false god. Once you really know the truth, Christianity will have no power over you. ...but if I don't give you these silly instructions you'll doubt my authority and we can't have that.

There are even more demands to become lying sacks of shit on this page:

Burkes Tips To Guarantee Disloyalty and Prevent Integrity

Now, I am not sure who it is the Joy of Satan Ministry want in their organization, but honest, truthful people are obviously neither valued nor welcomed. A teen who is taught that god (even in the form of satan) wants them to lie to those who love and care for them is not the type of person I want in my religious group. Moreover, once again, they are feeding into the whole Christian "Father of Lies" mythos that distracts from the genuine dogmatic requirement of doubt and inquiry that makes Satanism BETTER than traditional religions. Before we move on from kids, one last thing, and although this applies to all the morons who want to join up with these looney tunes, the fact that they are endorsing this behavior for kids is completely disgusting:

How to Sell Your Soul or Get Hepatitis/AIDS from the Devil

Unbelievable. In this day and age...................

Moving On...............

My readers know that my specific field of interest is making the word "Satanism" mean one thing. As aware as i am that it is not an easy accomplishment it is a valuable one. This blog has entry after entry of me supporting my contention with historical fact and sociological reasoning. Several of my readers are even "spiritual satanists" who may disagree with me as a result of their own religious leanings but understand the reason why I feel this is a worthy pursuit. As the world gets smaller (via the internet) I believe it becomes more necessary for future generations of Satanists, my children as a matter of fact, to have the right to their religious name without apology or misunderstanding. This blog has paragraph after paragraph about how there was no codified religion called Satanism prior to 1966. Based on that as well as The Satanic Bible, an organized hierarchy, published and accepted (by law enforcement and academics, alike) ritual and dogma, and a thriving membership, my contention is that Satanism means one thing: The religion created by Anton LaVey, as put forth in The Satanic Bible, as practiced by those who have adopted the philosophy within The Satanic Bible and/or who are members of The Church of Satan.

The importance of this is based on the fact that without strict definition there is no defense or understanding. I want, when someone hears the word Satanist for them to immediately know what we are, or, even more importantly, what we aren't.

Joy of Satan is not Satanic. It is the epitome of Christian Heresy. It is devil worshiping. It is also a hate group in the most PC sense of the word:

Joy of Satan's sister organization

The Catholic Church and Christian religion are staffed with at the higher levels, and tools of the Jews who are their masters. The Jews are the ones who control the Christian Churches, especially the Catholic Vatican from which all other Christian sects evolved.

Oh, boy.


The following are the rules from their e-group on yahoo.com. As I'd sooner perform an at home mastectomy than join, and am feeling the need, I will respond here...in purple, because it is pretty. By the way the rules are the same for their teen group which says:

This group is for 13-19 year olds who wish to establish a relationship with Satan. The group is moderated so Christians cannot try to infest or disrupt in any way. High Priests and Priestesses of Satan are online to answer questions and post sermons for teens.

JoyofSatan.com

1. We know Satan and his Demons are real beings. If you are LaVeyan, or feel otherwise, do not push your beliefs here.

Satanists know you are Christians wearing black, as only those infected by Judeo-Christian religion need literal devils and demons to avoid being self-responsible. True Satanists might look at your page but to join your group would validate you and you are unworthy...oh, and Satanists don't have "beliefs" to push. Belief is for those too stupid to find out and know.

2. People who sympathise with and/or support the enemies of Satan- Jews, Christians and Muslims WILL BE BANNED!
Holy Shit! Racist , weak, stupid, and manipulative is no way to go through life, kids.

3. Blasphemy against Satan and/or his Demons will not be tolerated!
Almighty Father Satan needs you to fight his battles for him?

4. If you believe Satan and his Demons are evil, this is not the group for you, find another.
Why? Your definition of these beings is precisely the same as a Christians, you just reverse who is on the winning team.

5. Do not try to push Wiccan or other non-Satanic creeds here.
Strangely, I find these guys make Wicca look good--like in a major way, good.

6. Do not try to promote individuals, groups or organizations who bash the Joy of Satan. Your posts will be deleted and you will be banned.
Makes sense, but ya can't blame a girl for trying.

7. Anyone who posts advocating anything illegal will be banned.
Says the group who want kids to lie to their folks, and perform blood rituals.

8. Please be polite- flaming will not be tolerated.
Because there is nothing more offensive than a rude devil worshiping, deceptive, lying, racist.


There is so much more and I invite my beloved readers to comment on what they see and we can discuss it.

However, what you most need to know is that THIS is exactly what I am always going on about. How can I tell the cops, the teachers, the professors what I know to be true about Satanism, what I can back up with literature and anecdote alike, as long as scum like this are allowed to use our name unchallenged?

More to come,
HS!

Ygraine

I came across this:

http://www.christiansagainstcartoons.com

This is possibly the best stuff from evangelicals since Ted Haggard.

It certainly is more of the same sort of paranoia associated with the D & D freak-out/satanic panic of the 80's.

But what I am guessing is that the providers/writers of this page don't know is how much I, as a Satanic Mom, agree with their ultimate position---that a lot of these cartoons are horrible for children and sending messages that are against my religion.

Can you imagine?

Of course it is the utter lack of understanding of Satanism that fuels the web site's contention. Because Christians are generally low on imagination they assume anything bad is Satanic, anything they disagree with, likewise. Therefore they equate Communism as Satanic.

While the Church of Satan purposely takes no position on politics, the Satanic philosophy of individualism, self-divinity, self-responsibility, and meritocracy pretty much negates any communist leanings.

Regarding Dora The Explorer the Christians against Cartoons write this:

Not only does this disc promote SATANISM and PAGANISM but it also propagates THE NEW COMMUNISM as an Unholy Trinity.....Dora then tells the children to march like these RED ANTS OF COMMUNISM to a sick little tune that proclaims: "We're the marching ants and we won't let you past 'til you dance our dance."

Now, any Satanist would be sickened by this. 'marching to one's own tune is the epitome of Satanism.

Of course a religion like Christianity that demands blind faith and complete obedience should probably be pleased that this sort of programming is, um, being programmed, into their kids' heads.

The CaC (isn't that cute?) also has an absolute kitten over Dora's goat.

This goat that bears the sins of all of the Children of Israel is Azazel Goat, The Goat of Mendes, The Devil Himself! There is no doubt that the creators of "Dora The Explorer" included this Goat as a reference to the Lord of the Suphur Pit to put our Children at ease with the demonic in much the same manner as the creators of "Monsters Inc." and "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" that we have discussed earlier.

The bit about making kids comfortable with the demonic is insane, of course. At no point does anyone explain why anyone would want to make kids comfy with the demonic. Evidently the Christian theory is that all creative people in Hollywood are either pawns of or in league with the literal devil. As a Satanist who has sat through any number of movies, TV shows, etc....I can assure them they are wrong. If there were a devil he'd have more taste.

What is offensive to me about Dora's goat is that he IS NOT used to promote the Satanic ideals we use the Baphomet for in Satanism. My kids called all goats Baphomets their whole childhoods. I used the image of baphomet and trips to the petting zoo as opportunities to teach all manner of life lessons, all of which are good and solid and psychologically empowering. Dora's goat does not show man to be just another beast, not does he demonstrate the need to reject spiritual trinities. What he is used for is to promote the ideal of cultural relativism.

First, Dora, a force for the false belief in cultural relativism and the rejection of GOD'S TRUTH disguised as educational television, is accompanied in her adventures by a TALKING GOAT during her adventures on this DVD.

As I wrote in the previous blog, I am way over cultural relativism beyond it's ability to explain. While I am a firm proponent of gray, as in not everything is black and white, there are some shades in between, like my CaC friends here, I find using Cultural Relativism to mitigate things that are considered an abomination here in the West, to be unacceptable. See...the Satanist and the Christians are once again in agreement!

And again! I hate Sponge Bob. I don't get it. It is a badly animated, ugly cartoon, about a friggin' sponge, for chrissakes. My reasoning may vary, but I will agree with the CaC when they say this:

Then the scene cuts to their father in the bathtub with a sponge on his head proclaiming he is "Sponge Bob No Pants." This ad is wholly inappropriate any way you look at it...This heedless commercial that they have combined to produce is an Abomination of the Earth!!!

Anything as ugly as Sponge Bob is an abomination. More important, I was grossed out when I saw the commercial CaC is referring to. In a day and age where we are trying to protect kids from abuse, using nude parents to sell Happy Meals is pretty inappropriate.

Okay....so, I picked through a bunch of things to show that there is common ground.

But who am I fooling?

The only real common ground, and the Christians will never admit it, is that Satanists and Christians and Muslims and Jews and Pagans and everyone wants what is best for their kids. Everyone. What is different is what constitutes best.

The rest of this site is absolutely insane. Really. The fear of homosexuality makes you believe that the entire thing was written by some closeted latent homo who lives each moment terrified that he'll see a guy and get a hard-on. The writer is evidently convinced that TV or any entertainment makes people gay:

The reason is plainly obvious. By this combination of words, Cartoon Network is likening its block of nightly programming to the Turkish bath or Roman orgy of old or the modern day gay bathhouse of San
Francisco. It is a place where men take unto men, women take unto women and outrageous acts of adultery, sodomy and bestiality are engaged in with no regard for the WORD OF GOD and Cartoon Network is putting all of this into a form with mass appeal to our children.

On the show "Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law" (a part of this tasteless programming block), the characters of Race and Dr. Quest from the demonized cartoon "Johnny Quest" wage a gay custody battle! To the
worldly this is just comedy. Just light entertainment. But the Christian must always be vigilant against the assault on THE TRUTH taking the form of deceitful distractions. First the Sodomite conspiracy gets the masses of Americans to LAUGH at the homosexual, which results in a TRIVIALIZING OF SIN, which then results in TOLERANCE and ACCEPTANCE of all manner of UNLAWFUL ACTS!

Sodomite conspiracy?

Jeez.

Unless there is money to made by turning everyone gay--and seeing as you'd create substantially less consumers that would appear to be counter-productive, I have a real hard time buying into the notion of a sodomite conspiracy. Moreover more and more homosexuals are steering clear of organized gay Rights movements---To Brother Cletus (I shit you not!) I suggest reading :

Androphilia: Rejecting the Gay Identity, Reclaiming Masculinity

by Church of Satan Priest and all around great guy, Jack Malebranche. Brother Cletus might find out one day that he can be gay and not be faggy, and even more, that it will not effect a single hetero couple's marriage if other folks are allowed to get married, too.

Recently I prohibited most cartoons from our household. I find anime to be the worst. I am convinced this is Japan's revenge for Hiroshima. They are planning to turn our kids into automatons with big eyes, reduced vocabularies, and a conviction that bottle caps or "ballz" are effective weapons in a crisis.

Much as I enjoy The Family Guy, The Simpsons, and South Park, plainly there are parents who are too stupid to know that just because something is a cartoon does not make it appropriate for kids. The sexuality and the lack of respect towards elders is not a lesson one wants to instill in pre-teens.

The super hero cartoons are just too redundant and liberally based for me to feel good about. It is a sad state of affairs when I think Dexter would be a better role model than Spiderman!

There is one thing I am certain of. These Christians want to take away the freedom of parents to choose. For those who are so against communism and socialism they seem to want an awful lot of government intervention/baby sitting.

(The WB thinks kids should wrestle at school. I caught my little ones putting on masks and punching each other while watching this one... a violent and repulsive cartoon!)

Caught them, Huh? How did it get that far?

It is our responsibility as parents to utilize all the wonderful tools available: TV Guide. Parental Controls/Channel Blocks. Rating Systems. Computer reviews.

There is no excuse for "catching" them. No matter what your religious leaning is no one but you can control what your child watches.

*Please note that I may have confused two different people and amalgamated them into one prior to the first posting of this blog. For my mistake I am completely to blame and completely sorry. I deserve to be trashed for not doing all the proper research prior to posting this. However, any vitriol is explained by these parasites living off the LaVeyan name and allowing people to think The Satanic Bible encourages any sort of spirituality. My confusion simply proves the point of all these rants---If I, who has read the works and lives by them, can be confused, imagine what a newcomer to Satanism would think?



Skanky Cunt Stealing LaVey's Name

Infected Cunt's Web-site

*****Note:  Venus Satanas link has been removed as she was NOT the offensive blonde crazy I was writing about.  I had promised I would remove it and forgot and that makes me DEAD WRONG, and despite our religious disagreements, I had no right to forget her fair request.  I am sorry, Venus.



Are there two of these or just one with a variety of sub-personalities?  I dunno, they are equally offensive whether they are one or two is irrelevant.

Why am I so against theistic horseshit?

You mean aside from the validation of sacrifices, murder, irresponsibility, and just plain old being an embarrassment to real Satanists? Check out these links. Don't do it before you eat or you'll lose your appetite. Don't do it after you eat or you'll puke. In fact, plan this for when you're fasting, or attempting bulimia or something.

This disgusting cunt, this advertisement for mandatory abortion has the fucking nerve to label her insane youTube videos as Anton LaVey: From the Grave. Aside from the sheer craziness of that, and the manipulation she is attempting by using the name of a someone to get people to watch a nobody--I think of his son, his longtime companion, and his many friends that are friends of mine who do not deserve to have LaVey's name bandied about by this bus station skank! To paraphrase Lloyd Bentson, "I knew Anton LaVey, you inept whore, and you're no Anton LaVey!"

Check out this schitzoid's website---she actually spells magic with a "k." Apparently the reincarnation of our beloved founder forgot his own position---although I have no doubt that were he still alive he would again remind us that "Those who spell magic with a k, aren't," while using her picture to explain why.

Look folks, and I am sorry for the maybe 3 theistics I have known who weren't total pieces of shit, this has got to stop. When I guested on my dear friend David's Satanism Today show last week we discussed the problems in South Africa, Russia, and right here in our backyard. I am sorry if folks can't see the logical conclusion that worshiping, that even believing in such nonsense is not only absurd and un-Satanic, but genuinely dangerous.

Let's examine the logic.

What does belief in an external deity do?
1. It means that someone other than self has the ultimate control.
2. It means your actions will either please or anger said deity.
3. It means there is a reward/punishment motif throughout life that determines behavior.

What does having an external deity having ultimate control mean to people?
1. It means that the self can take no pride, not take any blame for their actions.
2. It means that irresponsibility can be happily utilized by the lazy and the criminal because if a deity is present and all powerful, surely he can stop or change human action to suit his needs, and the human becomes blameless.
3. It means life is cheap, as the deity has a gazillion little toys (humans) to play with and the individual is nothing more than another doll.

What about reward/punishment?
1. Either "karma" comes into play, and deity becomes a cosmic scorekeeper, cheerfully waiting for the individual to fuck up to thrash him while alive, or.....
2. There is a Heaven and Hell, or some other afterlife making, again, life cheap and meaningless as those who follow the deity are waiting to die to earn their reward, or accept that they are shit, figure they are going to Hell anyway, and continue to sin, or.....
3. They believe in reincarnation, whereby the individual either gets a new life (so why bother with the previous one?,) or regresses to whatever lesser life form the deity wants---like a mosquito or something.

The point, obviously, is that the Satanist KNOWS this is their one life. It is beautiful and valuable because it is unique and there is no more!

The point is there is no time to beg some external deity for favors, because the Satanist is too busy making things happen giving their individual life meaningful for them, to get on their knees and beg!

The point is the Satanist cannot murder or sacrifice, because their is nothing to sacrifice to, no deity to judge them, and life is too valuable to chance running afoul of the laws of man and losing freedom.

We Satanists are a stoic bunch. It is against our nature to give too much credence to these theists because we don't like to waste our personal precious energy on them. BUT we're going to have to.

Their existence is an affront to our philosophy, and by not challenging them, by pretending they don't exist, we are allowing them to use our name, and the name of our beloved and DEAD founder--legitimizing them to the casual human viewer. If you think I am over-estimating their danger to us, think of the stories I have linked on this blog. Every one of these crimes is attributed to "Satanists," and now, with the internet, and freaks and assholes like this walking venereal disease Venus Satanas, the herd can type in that word and find hundreds of these theistic pseudo-Satanic organizations , and only ONE of ours--the ONLY real Satanic church, The Church of Satan

Challenge them at every opportunity. Show them, especially this Marshall Appelwhite in drag, what a little real Satanic magic can do. Self-divinity is our strength and our power. Crush them all with it!

Crush
Curse
Destroy

I am getting just a wee bit tired of checking out the news and seeing more and more stories of Satanism being blamed for garden variety stupidity.  You'd think it was 1989 again, what with the stories listed below as just a random sampling of what pops up when Satanism is the search term in Google News.

I may be tired, but sad to say, I am not all that surprised.  The original Satanic Panic happened when the economy was in the crapper, billions were being spent on ineffective military pursuits*, and people were more and more being forced to choose between a divisive demonstration of left vs. right politically.  Under these same circumstances, today, the herd once again is looking for a convenient scapegoat for all the ills of the world.  Enter Satanism.

The surprising part, however, is that in 20 years, no lessons were learned.  Oh sure, the intelligent and informed know all about false memories and evangelical con-men.  They know that there was no verifiable baby sacrifices or breeders.  They know that a cottage industry was created--books, revivals, lectures and good old fashioned Christian greed, that allowed many innocent people to have their lives destroyed, in the name of stamping out something that essentially didn't exist.

Yet they never bothered to check out what DID exist.  The never bothered to read The Satanic Bible and learn why baby killing and sacrifices were un-Satanic.  Very few colleges, while open to lectures and classes in Wicca and neo-Paganism, decided to teach the philosophy of Satanism.  Outside of some cable-access, no shows were created to demonstrate the Satanic way of life--a highly MORAL and undeniably psychologically profound life-affirming philosophy!  It was like the world tucked Satanism away like an old gun, ready in an instant to be drawn out again, if times got too rough and a scapegoat was needed in a hurry.

And now we are seeing the result of that voluntary ignorance.

A new generation has been infected with "theistic Satanism," courtesy of weak willed occultists, the pervasive nature of the internet, and bored sexually repressed Christians still begging for a literal devil to blames life's miseries on, while they get a vicarious thrill by making up stories of blood and sex.  Unsupervised teens are hearing bullshit in the pews and intrigued, they search "Satanism" online and instead of finding only the legal, cohesive, moral and ethical religion of Satanism, they are being inundated with lies, imaginary demons and devils, and the wishful thinking of irresponsible Christians who refuse to accept their own part in the creation of the very stereotype they claim to fear.

I really can't get all that upset at what happens in South Africa.  While I am not usually a big adherent of letting people suffer, in order to prevent the creation of more people to suffer, I am ready to allow Darwin to have his way with these people.   Truly, if you are that stupid, why bother living at all?   I guess it may be more interesting to die by sacrifice than of HIV, but who knows?  I, again, blame Christian missionaries for the suffering there.  The lack of sexual responsibility in the form of condoms and education, in order to appease a vicious and hypocritical god, is the same irresponsibility that blames devils for what people do.  It comes as little surprise that with Christianity comes heresy.

I am a bit more concerned by what has happened in Russia, and this I do blame on the theistics/traditionalists.  Why is it so hard to grasp that if you believe in a literal entity you'll want to impress/appease/sacrifice to said entity?  In fact, what is the point of worshiping something if not to get some promised bounty that comes with that adoration?  ONLY atheistic Satanism, real Satanism (I hate the term, but LaVeyan Satanism) guarantees that there is no requirement to sacrifice anything to anyone for any reason!  The only "type" of Satanism that demands self-responsibility, in fact, the only religion on Earth, that demands complete human accountability is Satanism as per The Church of Satan and The Satanic Bible.

And yet, thanks to these reverse Christians, co-opting our name, Satanists are forced to fight on two fronts.  It is a given that Christians will hate us.  Our name strikes fear in their hearts, and it should, but not for the reasons they think.  They may want to believe in baby killing and orgies, but in their heart of hearts they feel our real power against them:  No God to thank, no Devil to blame--you and you alone are responsible for you.  They don't want to get off their knees and face up to the challenges of this one life on Earth.  Our power, our magic, is our self-divinity, and deep down that sort of true self accountability is terrifying to them, so they make up lies and stories to justify their fear.

But now we have to deal with these theistic devil worshipers who call themselves Satanists, and there are thousands  of them.  Unlike real Satanists, they do proselytize and recruit.  Unlike the ten to twenty genuine Satanic websites run by Church of Satan members there are hundreds of these internet fan clubs, all blood drenched and gothy, all stereotype and designed to truly piss off a parent.  They are Christians in blackface, talking about the dark Lord and developing lame-ass rituals to gain his favor.  Again, they abandon personal responsibility in the hopes of gaining favor from some external entity that is just plain evil..........bwahahahaha......

'makes this witch hope she never hears Carmina Burana again.

We Satanists can handle the Christians.  Between our 5 Point Pentagonal Revisionism, our Rules of the Earth and good old common sense we have learned to utilize the masses for what they are---sheep.  They are the infrastructure that allows day to day living.  We have adapted to their imaginary rule, and we appreciate their predictability .  Every now and then we are forced to correct their misconceptions, but on the whole we have had a decade or two of detente.

Smashing the theistics to bits is going to take some time and careful manipulation.  Their histrionics and crimes effect us negatively, and they hurt those who do not deserve it.  We must find a way to prevent them from using our name to commit their crimes and damage our reputation.  It shouldn't be that difficult, though, because the one thing all true Satanists know--there is nothing weaker than one who believes in any deity above the self.

*Ineffective military pursuits as opposed to EFFECTIVE ones. I support a kick ass, cutting edge fighting force. I do not support the deaths of loyal soldiers, the billions wasted on inoperative hardware, etc....

Tomorrow would be my grandfather's 107th birthday.

One would hope that many people have fond memories of their grandfathers, but I was particularly lucky in that department. My grandpa was "America's Chekhov." the playwright and screen-writer, Paul Osborn.

I am not usually one for undue sentiment, and normally this date would pass without much in the way of nostalgia, but Grandpa's chair broke--a seeming non-sequitor, but beyond meaningful for me. The chair I speak of is a substantial part of my memories of him. Back when he bought it, perhaps the early 50's, it would have been considered modern. A horrible gray color of unknown material that spun about on a metal base, I cannot conjure up a memory that doesn't involve running into his den in the Park Avenue apartment and seeing him sitting in it, at the typewriter, a freakishly huge cat sitting on his lap.

Anyway, when Grandpa died in 1988 I wanted just a few things. Not the Picasso's or Bemelman's, not the Hirshfeld's or the coin collection he had started as a child. The heavy wooden furniture would have demanded a more stable life than I had at that point. The photographs of Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller hiding out at the Connecticut summer house, or the snapshots of my mom swimming before she could walk had not, as yet, made their value, sentimental and financial, known to me. I had no need for the gazillion books (although, in retrospect....,) or his clothes and the cufflinks he wore on his dinner jacket, that he allowed me to put on him as a little girl before going to some soiree---I, regret now, fell to some other family member.

I wanted two things. His awards and his chair.

The awards are prized possessions. I have his two Oscar Nominations, his Screenwriter's Guild Box Office Awards, his Laurel Award--there are more than a dozen of these tributes to a quiet mid-westerner who's love of words he shared with the world.

I have his Tony Award, which is even more meaningful because Tony herself, Antionette Perry, was Grandpa's patron who paid him to stop being an engineer on the Long Island Railroad, and allowed him to write full time. I wish she could have been alive to have seen her namesake award given to someone who's talent she obviously believed in. That is the sort of magic I have come to have complete faith in.

But his chair---It isn't irrevocably broken. I am confident that a trip to Home Depot will do it, but the sadness I feel at looking at it, laying on the floor so no one actually sits on it by accident and ends up having it fall and kill a dog (little dogs, chihuahuas and chins,) has brought me to tears. This year, probably for the first time since his death, I won't be sitting in his chair on Grandpa's birthday.

I sit on that silly chair every time I am at the computer, be it ranting on about some religious injustice or slight, or to type up a note to excuse an absence for one of my kids in school. I sit in that chair and feel secure, and strong, and ever so special because that great man loved me.

I can't suddenly forget who I am and pretend that Grandpa is looking down on me from Heaven. I owe him too much to be that dishonest. I can't abandon all I know to be true about this being the only life I'll ever have, and that when Grandpa died he was completely over and out.

What I can do, what I try to do, is make my life as meaningful and eternal as he did. As of now, when I am gone, my children will carry parts of me with them, but beyond that there isn't much for the ages.

Yet a day doesn't pass when South Pacific or East of Eden isn't on cable. A month doesn't pass when I don't get a check for some little town's production of On Borrowed Time or, the play that is my family's history, Morning's At Seven. Grandpa will never be forgotten because his work lives on.

So, I will repair that chair, and I will sit on it, and I will do everything in my power to channel that magic, and find my own way to live forever--just like Grandpa.

Happy Birthday.
