WALPURGISNACHT

Because my side of the planet tilts into darkness before yours, it is already Walpurgisnacht here. Forget the crap about St. Walpurga. Honestly, who cares. We all know it was yet another lame attempt by the Catholic Church to lay claim to a pagan festival, and in this case, an attempt no one took very seriously. For the ancient Germanic peoples, this was the night that Odin (Woden, Wotan, Wu-Tang, whatever) finally died after spending three days crucified to the World Tree. The All-Father ente… Continue

RETURNING THE CALL OF CTHULHU: SOME THOUGHTS ON MAGIC AND THE MYTHOS

THE CTHULHU MYTHOS is extraordinarily popular with post-modern magicians. Starting with the Church of Satan in the late 60s, several groups and countless independent workers have incorporated Lovecraft’s fantastic cosmology in their ceremonies and rituals, many reporting remarkable effects. Kenneth Grant welded the Mythos into his own brand of Thelema, Chaos magicians have embraced the Old Ones in their quest for gnosis, occultists have written their own versions of the Necronomicon, and entire… Continue

POLITICS, AGAIN

It is a sign of the times that "liberal," in the United States, is a bad word. My dictionary--which seems somehow to differ from that being used by the American media and general populace--defines "liberal" as; 1. open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values; 2. favoring maximum individual liberty in political and social reform; and 3. (of education) concerned with broadening a person's general knowledge and experience. Hmm. Open-minded. In f… Continue

GOD & AMERICAN POLITICS

As I watch Barack Obama's relationship with his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, blow up in his face this week, it has me thinking again about God and the American political scene. The topic came up last night over cocktails in a little Yokohama jazz club. I was sitting with several friends--two British, one German, and three Japanese--enjoying a refreshingly dry martini when one of them (a gent from Liverpool) asked me point blank, "What is it with you Yanks and religion?" Everyone else seemed to want… Continue

THE SEXCAPADES

Is it just me, or are the blogs and postings of late getting randier and randier? Must be spring, or perhaps the subconscious advent of Easter (all those bunnies and eggs). Between Lili's discussion of her menstrual cycles, Varick's shamless flirting, and Val waxing poetic about love, women, and sex, I feel as if I have stumbled into a Satanic "Temptation Island" (oh and aren't they all, really). So let's talk about sex. My attitude towards sex is identical to the way I feel about food.… Continue

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T EXPLAIN YOUR POSITION

So here's the thing.

Some years ago, on a panel of religious perspectives, I was seated alongside a Catholic priest, a Rabbi, an Imam, a Buddhist Monk, and a Wiccan. I was representing the Atheist perspective.

My argument was this; century after century, the human animal has managed to survive and adapt by virtue of its intellect. The ability to analyze something logically, to see it as it is, has dragged us up out of the filthy muck of the Middle Ages. And every step of the way

RANTING

WARNING: What follows is a rant. I am posting it on my page, rather than in a forum, out of respect for the owners of this site. I consider MySatan to be their “lair,” and am trying to stay within the bounds of the 3rd Satanic Rule of the Earth. And yet, as a rational man and a professional academic, I’ve had it up to my eyeballs with some of

Well...Duh!

Here's a no brainer from some of the world's sharpest medical minds.

New research on mice shows the brain processes aggressive behavior as it does other rewards. Mice sought violence, in fact, picking fights for no apparent reason other than the rewarding feeling.

The mouse brain is thought to be analogous to the human brain in this study, which could shed light on our fascination with

BEDTIME STORY (to read along with the video)

Today is the last day that I'm using words

They've gone out, lost their meaning

Don't function anymore

Let's, let's, let's get unconscious honey

Let's get unconscious honey

Traveling, leaving logic and reason

Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness

Traveling, leaving logic and reason

Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness

Chorus:

Let's get unconscious honey

Let's get unconscious

Let's get unconscious

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING SUBTLE

A Lesson in Lesser Magic

MAGIC is a sublte tool, a double-bladed scalpel that wounds the hand of those too inept to use it. It requires an awareness of balance and a light touch. I have seen a great many fledgling Satanists injure themselves because they fail to understand this.

When LaVey writes of the Command to Look, for example, he does not stress subtlety as he should. Perhaps he assumed Satanists could figure that part out for themselves. The thing is, that when

THE WOLF AMONG THE SHEEP

I AM NOT the type of guy who tolerates sloppy thinking; not in myself, not in my students, and not in others.

So it strikes me that while Satanists of all varieties debate who and what a "real" Satanist is, the real point is being missed.

Whether you are a Theistic, LaVeyan, Philosophical, Modern, Red, Pink, or Blue Satanist, there is one thing we all have in common. We are the Bad Guys. The Monsters. The Boogeymen (or to be politically correct, the Boo

I'm not sure who's fooling who here as I'm watching your decay We both know you could deflate a 7 hurricane Seems like you and your tribe decided you'd rewrite the law Segregate the mind From Body from Soul

Chorus: You give me yours I'll give you mine cause I can look your God right in the eye You give me yours I'll give you mine You used to look my God right in the eye

I believe in defending in what we once stood for It seems in vogue to be a closet misogynist homophobe

Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself...

Hello all. I thought the best way to introduce myself to the MySatan community was to post some essays I've written in the past, reflective of my attitudes towards Black Magic, Religion, and Satanism. Comments? Criticisms? Questions? Feel free to leave them at my door.

DEALING WITH THE DEVIL

"...the Shadow is the invisible saurian tail that man still drags behind him. Carefully amputated, it becomes the healing serpent of the mysteries..." - Carl Jung, T
