9 Satanic Questions for Szandora

This is a new feature on VSS! A few times a month, I'll be asking active, prominent, or noteworthy Satanists nine questions. The Q&A will be posted here for all to view. Hope you enjoy. The first interviewee is Szandora. Her answers were a joy to read and I thank this gorgeous creature for being the first.


1. So you're a model. What's that like in this Aeon of MySpace and YouTube? Does your modeling inform your Satanism and vice versa?


I started doing erotica modeling when I was 18yrs old under the name Szandora. It was a self-created pseudonym that I came up with when I was 16 and used it as an email address. I look at it as the feminine personification of Satanism, combining Anton LaVey's middle name and Pandora. I thought it was clever, evil and got the point across of what I wanted the world to recognize me as, a Satanist. A couple of years later www.szandora.com was created and I was off promoting Satanism using my body as my Satanic Alter.

Most of my shoots have some sort of Satanic undertone to them. Shortly after Szandora.com was created I started hula hooping, incorporating Satanic Rituals in my routine and manifesting my desires again through my "living alter".

Yes, I think that my modeling/performance art does relay the message that I am trying to get across. I try to help the world understand that women are important to Satanism too. We can bare the torch and get recognition just as easily as any man is rising within the ranks of Satanism.

Myspace and YouTube are probably the easiest and most popular ways of getting noticed and your message heard within the virtual world of the internet. If you're lucky it will bleed over into reality.

The Internet is just so darn instantaneous!

2. How important is image, aesthetic, and presentation to a model, a Satanist, and especially a Satanic Witch?
I don't want to be shallow and say that image is everything, but it's very important. We've all heard that the first impression is everything. The most common first impression that we can give another human being is a visual one.

I think especially in all three of those categories that image is very important. I wouldn't be a model if I didn't care for and create an image for myself. Being a professional/famous Satanist I always have to keep my image groomed and maintained. It is very important for Satanic Witches to use their femininity, looks and charm to obtain what she desires, whether it be a man, job, or that extra whip cream on her sundae at the ice cream parlor.

If she was sloven, none of the things she desired would manifest the way that she wanted them to.

However, the most important thing that you need to make your image pop is self worth and confidence. Without that you are just another pretty face with nothing else to offer.

3. Would you describe yourself as any of these: religious, spiritual, atheist, political, or philosophical? Why? Do you think one or more of these labels is necessary to a Satanist?

Religious, No. Satanism is a para-religion. Which means that it is an alternative to religion.

Atheist, No. I worship myself, hence making me believe in one god, me. Haha.

Political, Not exactly. As far as the leadership of this country my vote doesn't count. Leadership of this country is prearranged and the run for presidency is just a way to extort money from the thousands of Americans that are dumb enough to believe that one person can change the world for the good. In the case of American politics, I've seen that one person can change the world for the bad and never have is seen it changed for the good of mankind.

If you are speaking of politics within social circles and settings, I would be guilty. You have to play social politics to get what you desire. But that is only done on a personal scale. Sometimes you just have to lean how to play nice.

Philosophical, yes. To me Satanism is a philosophy. The Satanic Bible is a systematic guideline for living life, taking no prisoners, responsibility to the responsible, punishment to those who deserve it, living life without regret, sexuality without hang-ups, no fear of judgment when we meet death and most of all survival. I'd call that more philosophical than religious.

4. If Satanism didn't exist, is there an ideology already out there that could more or less replace it?

I wouldn't say that any ideology could replace Satanism. However, one important ideology has always existed that I do agree with. It's called humanism. If I weren't a Satanist, I'd just be a plain old Humanist.


5. What do you look for in a partner, mate, and/or sexual conquest? How do you attract them? Is your personal method something learned, instinctual, or a bit of both?

I look for intelligence, self confidence, poise and they need to know how to dress themselves.

I attract someone I want by merely thinking about it and wanting it. If you want something bad enough you can attain it if you know how to apply your will.

Wanting and being wanted comes pretty instinctual for me, but it's not going to come without work. It's the whole package that someone wants. Like I said, you can't just be a pretty face and expect the cards to fall into place. You have to work on yourself inside and out before you can attract the object of your desire.

6. When it comes to pop culture, music, TV, movies, fashion, etc… how does that affect your reality? do you embrace it or escape from it?

You have to be informed and know what's going on to dominate your world. If I locked myself out from the world of pop culture, movies, fashion and especially music, I probably wouldn't know how to communicate with people since most people live and thrive of one or more of those things.

Fashion is one of my favorite things. It allows people to be true individuals. There's nothing worse than someone getting their fashion sense from a department store mannequin.

I don't watch a lot of television, but I do have an extensive music and movie collection.

7. Is Satanism a distillation of natural man and woman? If so, then does this religion/movement need order, direction, and activists; or does Satanism take care of itself, finding its own way into human nature?

I do think that Satanism is pure and natural for those men and women who practice and actually understand it. Every movement needs guidance. Modern Satanism isn't going to become or remain modern without people representing it in such a manner.

Satanism has always taken care of itself; it has never died or disappeared. Perhaps it has taken a break here and there, but powerful people have revived it from time to time.

I'm trying to put an end to the dormant Satanist. I support the thought of "power in numbers". Without people working together, accepting who they are and that it takes all of us to build a strong community nothing will change and Satanism will be considered a belief of elitism. It's individualism; no one is better or lower than you unless they have proven otherwise.

So I'm ready to build a community where Satanism will thrive rather than take a bow.

8. Do you practice black magic? If no, then why not. If yes, then can you describe your personal practices of this dark, forbidden art?

Yes, I do practice black magic. I usually perform solitary rituals. I don't like to teach people how to practice magic because to me, everyone does it a little different. When you are going into rituals different people are feeling varied emotions about what you are trying to change or obtained which can scatter things into different directions.

I know what I want and how to get it. When I perform rituals alone, whatever I desire becomes reality.

I perform practical magic on a daily basis. Most people do, but don't even realize it.

9. What can you say about Anton LaVey's legacy?

It really depends on which legacy you are asking me about.

If you mean his actual legacy as in lineage I would say that it's an odd one to say the least. But what family's lineage isn't? I respect Stanton and Karla for continuously working Satanism into the direction of the individualist. Zeena isn't even considered Anton's daughter or Stanton's mother at this point and that's by her own decision. I've hear that Xerxes is very bright and looks just like Anton. I'm not sure where his path will take him because of his youth. Plus, I'm not sure if the CoS is going to give him a title since Blanche (his mother) doesn't own the CoS anymore. She sold it to Peter Gilmore.

If you are asking about the Legacy of the Church of Satan, I'd be more than happy to tell you exactly what I think. I believe that the CoS died with Anton LaVey. For one, there isn't even a CoS anymore. The black house was torn down years ago and Gilmore is too much of a coward to create one of his own.

Anton offered the High Priesthood to Boyd Rice before he died and Boyd respectfully declined. It wasn't until after his death that Peter Gilmore bought it and raised the membership cost from $50.00 to $200.00. That, in my opinion, is highway robbery for a red novelty card.

Anton LaVey loved novelty. He loved whoopy cushions, comic books, the carnival, and comedy. That's why the CoS card was made. It was his novelty to share with the world. It really meant something to him. When Anton was alive you were subscribing to something that he still controlled. I can see someone paying $50.00 for the membership card. Now that he's dead, the price has risen to $200.00. That is just pompous. Remember what Anton said "Satanists are born not made", you don't need a red card to prove that you are a Satanist. You innately know that you are one.

The website hasn't been changed for years. You can pretty much knock the cobwebs off of it when your broswer brings up churchofsatan.com.

I believe in the Satanism that Anton LaVey cultivated not this contrived union of bald headed, wolfman beard havin', cheap black suit and tie wearin', coattail riddin' fools. There is no creative stimulation coming from that camp.

The most creative thing they did (since Anton's death) was a "ritual" in Hollywood the same day Stanton and I got married on 6-06-06. Did I mention that it was on the same street too? Stanton and I announced our wedding 6 months before they announced their cheap magic show, where their own members were outside protesting in front of local Los Angeles TV stations. Maybe about 100 people showed up to their shindig. Needless to say, 1,400 people showed up to our wedding. Glenn Danzig, Hank Williams III, 45 Grave, Dolemite, EL VEZ and Randy Blythe from Lamb of God performed at our wedding. Oh, and Snoop Dogg showed up. We gave Satanists something they could enjoy. It wasn't to make us the center of attention. It was to highlight people who are prolific to Satanism and to have the public enjoy it. That's Satanism… Like I said before, power in numbers.

It's sad really, to see what's come of the CoS. From changing the introduction to the Satanic Bible, to writing a book called the Satanic Scriptures, as if it's some sort of companion piece to the Satanic Bible.

The audacity of these lackeys makes me want to vomit. That's why Stanton and I have been trying so hard to promote Satanism as individualism, not elitism. So far I think we've been successful.
