  1. > Thursday, April 16, “A Short History of Nazi-Satanism”
    >
    > This presentation will explain how a neo-Nazi current developed as part of modern Satanism. Despite its highly individualistic ethos, since Anton LaVey first founded the Church of Satan in 1966—kicking off Satanism as a religious and philosophical tradition—it has been mired in Far Right views. LaVey’s early flirtations with National Socialism helped lead to an actual Nazi-Satanist current emerging in the early 1970s, which has ensconced itself as a permanent fixture in Satanism. Today, this current has become more popular than ever, as the Order of Nine Angles cross-pollinates with neo-Nazi terrorists, school shooters, and online child abusers.

  3. @effinbirds direct parallels and controlled narrative... We ARE saying something. #animalfarm is the key. #churchofsatan

  4. Realm of #Satan;
    Where Want For Attention Meets Lack of Substance

    In 2024, Realm of Satan, an alleged documentary about the #ChurchofSatan, premiered at #Sundance, and the negative reviews were immediate. In this, and in almost every other way, Realm of Satan and Hail Satan? are clear opposites.

  5. Anton LaVey plagiarized* "Might Is Right" for "The Satanic Bible" — here's the proof

    queersatanic.com/anton-lavey-p

    Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, directly lifted passages from the 19th century proto-fascist book "Might Is Right" by “Ragnar Redbeard” (Arthur Desmond) and did so extensively and without credit to produce a substantial part of LaVey’s most famous and popular work "The Satanic Bible".

    This has been known for a very long while, although most Satanists tend not to be aware of just how shamelessly and thoroughly this work was done.

    This article demonstrates exactly that.

  7. @georgetakei As an #Okie with a daughter in public schools, I CANNOT WAIT for

    1.) the truthshit about #RyanWalters to hit the fan (because his rabid accusations are most certainly confessions);

    2.) #Oklahoma to wake up* to the fact that these #Republicans DO NOT CARE about any Oklahoman with less than half a billion in the bank; and

    3.) the #ChurchOfSatan to get the #SatanicBible in the running for classrooms right alongside the #TrumpKJV.

    Bring it on, Walters. #MaliciousCompliance INCOMING.

  8. Y'all, #OklahomaEducation isn't just spiraling down the toilet. It's dropping directly down the shit chute.

    Cal it #ChristianNationalism or #NationalistChristianity or #Christofascism -- this is a prime example of it. The #TrumpBible is nothing but a piece of #Christofascist propaganda shit. It has no place in our schools, #Oklahoma.

    PAY ATTENTION AND VOTE BLUE.

    Also, #ChurchofSatan, please do your thing!

  9. Why You Should (Not) Become a Satanist

    queersatanic.com/why-you-shoul

    (A Case Against) Identifying with Satanism in the Modern World

    First, let’s make sure there’s no misunderstanding.

    Most Satanists do not worship or even believe in a literal, supernatural devil. It is absolutely not the norm for Satanists to abuse or ritually harm children or animals; if anything, less than the general population, even. Satanists do not have much institutional power or influence in the world; most of what you hear along those lines eventually ends up being thinly-veiled antisemitism, frankly.

    So who are Satanists, really? Mostly we’re just regular folk with some religious trauma.

    If you’ve been raised by Christian reactionaries and particularly if told that you personally are evil because you have typical intrusive thoughts and human feelings, it’s going to mess you up. Or maybe you have an understanding of your own body, gender identity, and/or sexuality that your Christian family and church disapprove of. It can be quite natural to abandon trying to live up the expectations of those who will always hate you. When you notice that family members can justify abuse, rooting for genocide, and calling rank cruelty the way of heaven, it’s not surprising if you are one of so many who echo Huck Finn in saying, “All right then. I’ll go to hell.”

    When you have watched those who say they are of-God make for years a convincing case that Satan is the logical and compassionate choice, why would a thinking, caring person not say, “Yes, I am of the devil. Be Gay, Do Crime, Hail Satan”?

    Yet you should resist this temptation.

  10. To the #ChurchOfSatan's credit, they've never sued ex-members for criticizing them and don't promise pregnant people they can help them get abortions with religious liberty loopholes.

    Folks who support them generally *do* understand accurately that they aren't getting anything special in return.

    But does that make them the "good ones"? Not exactly, and when it comes to the things #AntonLaVey, #PeterGilmore, and other key figures have said and done when forming and representing #CoS, the history with open #neoNazis and #fascists is quite awful, before even getting into the dogwhistles.

    This article goes thru some of that Church of Satan history & provides sourcing for anyone to check for themselves if they believe there is some exculpatory context being left out or some passage omitted changes what is included means.

    Note that none of this is a defense of The Satanic Temple, tho.

  11. @jlowenwrites @inbadfaith The #ChurchOfSatan influence shows up in all of the aesthetics that #TheSatanicTemple picked up whole (black) cloth since — for all of the talk about a return to Romantic #Satanism — TST did not try to reincorporate the more angelic, Luciferian strains of Romantic and then Political Satanism of the 19th century (e.g. "Lucifer the Light-Bringer")

    LaVeyan Satanism did also show up in "The Satanic Temple 2.0" — that is, the people the prank documentary film version of TST brought in after the first stunt in Florida failed

    queersatanic.com/what-the-hell

    The point of Shane Bugbee, Brian Werner, and Zach Black seem to have been they had bona fides of #satanism the Temple could exploit around naive/lazy media until they were no longer needed

    And such people were still very reactionary as of 2013-2014 and beyond

  12. =NO, NOT THAT SORT OF SATANIC CHURCH=

    By now, most people have heard *something* about "The Satanic Temple," and many believe they have a good idea about what it is already.

    These people are wrong.

    So, before getting into what #TST *is*, let's establish what it is *not*

    The Temple and its members do not worship or believe in a literal, supernatural devil.

    Likewise, TST members do not conduct animal sacrifices, ritualistically abuse children, etc.

    #TheSatanicTemple is not the same thing the "#ChurchOfSatan," another atheistic organization founded by Howard "#AntonLaVey" Levey in San Francisco in 1966.

    TST's foundational text is not #TheSatanicBible, which LaVey published in 1969.

    The Satanic Temple is not a leftist or even progressive organization.

    The Temple does not have a history of legal victories taking advantage of "religious freedom loopholes".

    The Satanic Temple is not a federally recognized religion; however, one of its half-dozen corporations did get IRS approval as a tax-exempt church.

  13. @TBSFlorida Desantis is a nerd for sure, but please don't call him Desatan, it's bad juju for the and the good stuff they do

  14. The club does not literally worship the devil, of course. It is a club for scientific thinking and exploration. The choice of the club name is very intentional, though. It is designed to do exactly what it is doing, outrage those people who are perfectly ok with the after school Christian groups that are allowed to meet. If the school allows one religious group, they must allow ALL. #churchofsatan

  15. “well of course. They aren’t even REAL Satanists. It’s an individual, apolitical—”

    The deceased founder of the #ChurchOfSatan AND its current leader were on excellent terms with James Mason

    or look up Anton LaVey’s movie with Nick Bougas a.k.a. “A Wyatt Mann” and the b-cut invocation LaVey did for him

  16. If you want even more, including discussion of #Satanists being “chromosomally different” from the rest of the population, see Blanche Barton's authorized biography of her romantic partner Anton LaVey "The Secret Life of A Satanist", which includes this section:

    > For now, isolation, abdication and stratification are LaVey’s proposed Satanic weapons against the ongoing Invisible War. LaVey has already given a name, Satanism, for the small percentage of the population that he feels are chromosomally different, and perhaps chromosomally resistant to the effects of control. Stratification is a magical process of purification – subtractive rather than additive. Says LaVey, “As the ware progresses, and as population increases to an even more intolerable level stretching resources to impossible lengths, the strong will begin fighting for their very survival. That’s what we’re seeing right now. Society will become more and more stratified into the people who aren’t buying the bullshit in society and those who blindly follow where they are led. Satanists, freethinkers, are a burgeoning minority cause. We have an illness that needs to be recognized just like alcoholism, handicaps, addictive behaviors and AIDS. We suffer from a disease called independence – a pathological aversion to regimentation and institutionalism – which prevents us from getting ‘regular’ jobs and living a ‘normal’ life.

    > Instead of encouraging “proliferation of the weak,” LaVey feels it’s imperative to isolate and foster the emerging new genetic strain of Satanists. With the debut of The Compleat Witch in 1970 (later The Satanic Witch), LaVey presented his guide for selective breeding. In an August 16, 1971 article, “Evil Anyone?,” Newsweek captioned a picture of LaVey baptizing his daughter, Zeena, “…Building ‘a better race,’” and quotes Anton describing his Satanic goal as “the creation of a police state in which the weak are weeded out and the ‘achievement-oriented leadership’ is permitted to pursue the mysteries of black magic.”
    >
    > Later, in The Satanic Rituals, LaVey included this directive to his followers: “Now it is the higher man’s role to produce the children of the future. Quality is now more important than quantity. One cherished child who can create will be more important than ten who can produce – or fifty [who] can believe!” In an interview from Fling, Anton vows that he would “enhance the growth of new, more intelligent generations, if I had the chance, by selective breeding. But this is so terrifyingly related to Hitlerism that usually I can’t even talk about it.”
    >
    > We asked exactly what kind of Master Race he envisions, LaVey explains that the Satanic stratification and segregation he advocates is based on “ethics rather than ethnics.” “As I’ve said, I wish to identify, isolate and breed a new ethnic – one that’s been there all along, unrecognized, from the beginning of man’s existence. There have always been leaders, innovators, risk-takers among all cultures. These are the few, perhaps one-tenth of once percent, that lead nations forward, lead evolution forward. Satanism is the first time in history where a master race can be built of genetically predisposed, like-minded people – not based on the genes that make them white, black, blue, brown or purple – but the genes that make them Satanists. We need a forum from which to assert our culture. Any person I’ve ever met who’s accomplished anything in his life had a real disdain for his own ‘people’. Not that they hate Jews or Germans or Irish or Italians per se – just that they hate stupidity and herd mentality. They hate the idea of using any ethnicity as an identity. Some people that come from Jewish backgrounds, where Judaic traditions were really emphasized in the home, are the most rabid anti-Semitic people I know. And I don’t blame them. If they grew up in a stifling environment with professional Jews for parents or professional Catholics, I don’t blame them for running away, changing their names, completely inverting their lives and never wanting to see their parents again! That’s often how leaders are born.

  17. A question that comes up a lot is, "Wait, which ones are the cool Satanists again?"

    Assume it's none of us:

    There are some communities that do good work you can learn from, but "no, *this* one is the good pyramid" is always a bad idea to trust
