RU336: BLANCHE BARTON ON DANCING IN THE GRAVEYARD: DEATH IMAGERY IN SATANISM & CARL ABRAHAMSSON PRESENTS MEMENTO MORI FOREVER: https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru336-psychoanalysis-art-and-the Join Rendering Unconscious at Substack: https://renderingunconscious.substack.com Rendering Unconscious episode 336. For this episode, we have two lectures from the Psychoanalysis, Art and the Occult series of events at Morbid Anatomy Museum: Dancing in the Graveyard: Death Imagery in Satanism by Blanche Barton and Memento Mori Forever by Carl Abrahamsson. Dancing in the Graveyard: Death Imagery in Satanism by Blanche Barton “Life is the great indulgence—death, the great abstinence. Therefore, make the most of life—HERE AND NOW!” So reads a phrase from the opening chapter of The Satanic Bible. But if Satanism, true Satanism as defined by Anton LaVey in 1966, is a profoundly life-loving religion, why all the black candles, skulls, and funerary trappings? The use of a coffin in the ceremony known as “L'air Epais—the Ceremony of the Stifling Air”, for example, goes well beyond a simple memento mori to remind ourselves how fleeting is our time here on Earth. The coffin becomes, like the Hanged Man in the tarot, a symbol of both death and transformation. Memento Mori Forever by Carl Abrahamsson For the human individual, there is no greater arbiter than death itself. Anxiety and fear are the very shadow-side fundaments of human religiosity, and nowhere is magical thinking as present as in thoughts and emotions touching upon (the fear of) death. One reason why human neurosis reaches ever new heights in contemporary culture is our distancing from death itself, and our painting ourselves into a corner of abstracted and compensatory imagination. How to cope? How to improve this highly detrimental neurosis and its dangerous side effects, such as monotheism? Carl Abrahamsson is a Swedish author, photographer, and filmmaker. He is also the editor and publisher of the highly renowned anthologies in The Fenris Wolf series. https://amzn.to/4bFDWnP Follow him at Linktree: https://linktr.ee/CarlAbrahamsson The Fenris Wolf Substack: https://thefenriswolf.substack.com An Art Apart Substack: https://anartapart.substack.com Blanche Barton is the present Magistra Templi Rex of the Church of Satan, having been a member for 45 years.

In 1972, Anton Szandor LaVey released The Satanic Rituals, the companion book to The Satanic Bible. Yet it seems to be the one book of LaVey's which Satanists often pay the least attention to. Satansplain presents a 3-episode exploration of The Satanic Rituals. Part 1 starts with a preliminary debunking of common Satanic ritual misconceptions, an overview of the "whys" and "hows" of Satanic ritual, some history on the book itself, an initial peek into the book's contents, and a look at the general underlying human urge for ritual. https://satansplain.com https://satansplain.locals.com/support 00:00 - Intro 03:49 - Reminder: Satanism is not Inverted Christianity 09:18 - Humans dig ritual / Annoying Questions We Get 13:18 - Explaining metaphors to the idiots who still don't get it 20:13 - Excerpt from "The Rite Stuff" 22:04 - Infernal Names, John's Letter 28:09 - The Satanic Rituals: About Publishing 31:17 - Reminder: Don't Die a Group Ritual Virgin 34:50 - The Satanic Rituals: Release

A provocative, irreverent biography of Anton Szandor LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, BORN WITH A TAIL chronicles a time when Americans welcomed a macabre showman into their living rooms via The Tonight Show, before a ginned-up hysteria known as the Satanic Panic would put a target on his shiny, shaven head. When Anton LaVey burst onto the San Francisco scene right before the Summer of Love, he parlayed his eerie obsessions into a philosophy and lifestyle that capitalized on a New Age rage. With his signature cape, horn-studded hood, and Ming the Merciless beard, LaVey was a media-savvy provocateur who took what he did seriously, but was always in on the joke. From a spooky old house on an otherwise unremarkable street, he founded the Church of Satan, where young women squirmed nude on the mantel of his ritual chamber as he delivered a doctrine of self-deification and indulgence that combined the writings of Ayn Rand, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Aleister Crowley with the pulpy fictions of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard.Later, his bestselling book The Satanic Bible (still in print since 1969) struck an ominous chord with both the hip and the alienated-the fringe dwellers who were goth before there were goths. But LaVey's influence could be felt far beyond his flock, namely in the nightmarish and supernatural entertainment that dominated pop culture in the 1970s and continues to make an impact today.He was a musical prodigy who attracted a cluster of stars into his orbit, including Jayne Mansfield and Sammy Davis Jr. But living like a real-life Gomez Addams, complete with a full-grown pet lion, came at an awful price. Deeply researched and featuring dozens of new interviews, as well as recently unearthed personal correspondence and church records, BORN WITH A TAIL: The Devilish Life and Wicked Times of Anton Szandor LaVey, Founder of the Church of Satan separates the facts from the fabrications of this uniquely American character's extraordinary life.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
Riaan Swiegelaar was a practicing witch, psychic, and Satanist, living his life deeply embedded in the occult. Then, an earth-shattering encounter with Jesus changed everything. Swiegelaar's story went viral in 2022 after he left his post as a reverend with the South African Satanic Church (SASC), and became a Christian. The global attention wasn't something he was expecting."I didn't anticipate at the time that it's going to go that wide," he said, noting he was almost immediately "under scrutiny from around the world" as he navigated his newfound faith. "It has been an interesting two years, indeed."Since becoming a Christian, Swiegelaar sought deliverance, coped with the demonic, and is now helping others who are on a similar journey out of the grips of Satanism. But the process has been a long journey.*** NEW SEASON BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Christian Solidarity International (CSI), a Christian human rights organization that advocates for and helps victims of religious persecution, enslavement, victimized children, and victims of natural disasters. ***"After I had my encounter with Christ and after I was saved, I was fully involved with certain practices," he said. "I was still doing readings for people … because I thought, 'No, I'm sure it's OK.'"But Swiegelaar was soon convicted by the Holy Spirit and found himself going for more deliverance and finding freedom and healing from these practices.In an appearance on "Billy Hallowell's Playing With Fire" podcast, he explained how he rose up the ranks of Satanism, noting he had a background in theology and the occult and was practicing witchcraft and psychic mediumship when he came into the movement."A lot of people who join Satanism — and this was also my experience with members of that organization ... people join in it on different types of labels depending on their background and understanding," he said.As for Swiegelaar's experience as a Satanist, he said he "saw a lot of things happening" and was profoundly "deceived." "When I initially got involved in Satanism, I remember the first time I read the Satanic Bible … it appeals to people that are very wounded and broken … and feel like they are the odd ones out," he said. "It is written in that way for a reason. … You can define your own version of what divinity is."At first, Swiegelaar saw God as energy and Lucifer as a force in each human being, though that later changed as he began to experience a very different dynamic."I had a few encounters where I actually saw different faces of the enemy," he said. "It became extremely real."While many Satanists consider themselves to be atheists, he said there's often more to this story than meets the eye, as this idea that the devil doesn't exist is purportedly sometimes a tactic or even a misconception among new Satanic congregants."A lot of Satanists who initially get involved with Satanism from an atheistic point of view, most of them don't believe that the devil exists," he said, noting, though, that manifestations sometimes change so that people start to see these beliefs are, indeed, rooted in reality. "The time when ... things become very real with Satanic rituals and stuff, you're so deep into it that it's difficult to come out."With the "wool over" some people's eyes, Swiegelaar said it can feel impossible to get out or abandon Satanism, with the dynamics becoming "extremely destructive." Some, he said, are even pushed to the brink of suicide. He said part of his own job centered on trying to convince the public there is no devil. "[The] devil wants to deceive people to think there's no Satan," Swiegelaar said, noting this impacted his efforts to play into this dynamic. "That is part of that very agenda that I'm talking about. It is simply that. Unfortunately, there [are] some people in media who do know the truth, because they are Satanists themselves."One of the most deceptive and surprising elements of Satanism, he said, is that there's a stereotype or expectation of what Satanists should look like. But rather than appearing strange or fitting that dynamic, Swiegelaar said many Satanists are police, teachers, and others who would otherwise be seen as normal.Yet he said some of the activities within Satanism are far outside of the mainstream. From black masses to the observance of monthly minor practices, Swiegelaar said he was very involved in commemorating Satanism and even running these rituals. "In terms of animal sacrifices, yes, certainly that happens," he said. "I've been involved in that."Swiegelaar also had much to say about babies, Satanic ritual abuse, the drinking of blood, and other disturbing occurrences — practices he had purportedly witnessed or been involved in.But all of this is now behind him after his conversion to Christianity."The amount of love that I experienced ... there was just no choice but to follow Him," Swiegelaar said of Jesus. "It was Jesus Christ who saved me."And the story behind his introduction to that love is incredible. It all started when Swiegelaar was asked to perform a ritual, and as he was preparing for it, something remarkable happened."As I turned around, I saw this figure," he said. "And I thought, in that moment, 'These demons are showing up already? I haven't even started with the ritual.'"But Swiegelaar soon realized he wasn't dealing with the demonic."I said, 'Who are you?' And, when he said, 'Yeshua of Nazareth,' I obviously doubted that," he continued, noting he asked Jesus to "prove it." "And that's when He flooded me with that love. ... it was incredible."Swiegelaar continued, "Everything stopped. Everything went quiet. I was completely embraced with that love. I was in shock."Listen for the full story.MORE INFORMATION:- Want to know more?

In this week's study, I continue with Chapter 19 verses 9 thru 11. Before I get into the study, I discuss the Satanic Bible, Satanism, the 9 Satanic Statements, the 11 Satanic rules for the earth, and the 9 Satanic sins.Chapter 19 continues and concludes the final period of events, which is called the bowl period. After the bowl introduction in chapters 12-15, the bowl events began in chapter 16, where we saw all seven bowl events described. However as explained there, chapter 16 was not the conclusion of the bowls. Rather, the description of the bowl period continued into chapters 17 and 18 where the bowl interlude was presented.This chapter describes the conclusion of Yahweh's wrath on earth, and it must be considered part of the seventh bowl because Rev 15:1 stated that Yahweh's wrath would be finished in the bowls.We continue our study in John's description of the Great Marriage Supper with the Lamb.In this verse 9, of Chapter 19, the same angel of verse 6, goes on to describe, not merely the array of the Bride, but the blessedness of those who shall be called to the marriage.This angel was the special servant of Yahweh who showed John everything in the Book of Revelation. He acted as John's guide through all these events and places (Revelation 22:8). Here in Revelation 19:9, the angel had a special message which he urged John to emphasize in his book. They had now reached one of the most important events in the future: the marriage of the Lamb. The Lamb means Yahshua Messiah; his people are his bride. That marriage will be a wonderful event. Yahweh will join them together as one (Ephesians 5:31- 32); and nothing will ever be able to separate them from The Messiah's love (Romans 8:38-39). It will be an occasion for great joy (Revelation 19:7); Yahshua Messiah compared it to a great meal (Matthew 22:1-14; Matthew 25:10; Luke 14:15-24). Write, "Blessed are they that are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb." = The idea of a festival, or a marriage-supper, was a familiar one to the Jews to represent the happiness of heaven, and is frequently found in the New Testament. Compare the Luke 14:15-16; 16:22; 22:16; Matthew 22:2.And he saith to me, "These are the true words of Yahweh." = Other words YOU CAN COUNT ON IT! Confirming all by a serious declaration.10 John must now confess to a terrible error that he made. The angels are Yahweh's special servants. They are impressive and powerful, as such passages as Joshua 5:13-15 and Luke 2:9 show. And I fell down at his feet to worship him. = At = the Greek should read ‘Before”. Twenty-four times is the word (pros-koo-neh'-o) (proskuneo) used in the Apocalypse for worship, and we should point out that when followed by the Accusative case it means merely to do homage or obeisance to another, as from man to man. When used with the Dative case it means to worship with Divine honor. I am thy fellow-servant = Evidently this was an angel, and yet this angel speaks of himself as a “fellow-servant” of John. That is, he was engaged in the service of the same Yahweh; he was endeavoring to advance the same cause, and to honor the same Redeemer.And of thy brethren = Of other Christians; for all are engaged in the same work.That have the testimony of Yahshua Messiah = Who are witnesses for the Saviour.For the testimony of Yahshua Messiah = The meaning here seems to be, that this angel, and John, and their fellow-servants, were all engaged in the same work that of bearing their testimony to Yahshua Messiah.Have any questions?

ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult
Explore the Nine Satanic Statements from "The Satanic Bible" by Anton LaVey, a text that stands as a cornerstone of LaVeyan Satanism. We examine these statements, each presenting a bold contrast to traditional Christian values, and discuss their implications on moral and philosophical grounds. We will dissect the significance of indulgence over abstinence, the preference for vital existence rather than spiritual aspirations, and the emphasis on seeking undefiled wisdom over self-deceit. The episode will also analyse the controversial standpoints on kindness, vengeance, and responsibility, all pivoting away from conventional religious teachings. Key questions addressed in this episode include: What does LaVeyan Satanism say about human nature and the concept of sin? How does it redefine notions of kindness and justice? What commentary does it offer on human superiority and the role of Satan in Christian theology? CONNECT & SUPPORT

#TheSatanicBible #AntonLaVey #satanism Venture into the shadowy corridors of "The Satanic Bible" with Angela's Symposium and unravel the mystique of Anton LaVey's defining work. Published in 1969, this text is a cornerstone of Satanism, shaping the movement and its principles. This episode delves into each of the four pivotal books—Satan, Belial, Lucifer, and Leviathan—that compile LaVey's Satanic philosophy, magic practices, and ritualistic approach, providing a window into a materialistic, hedonistic lifestyle contrasted sharply with conventional religious doctrines. In this in-depth analysis, we answer pressing questions such as: - What makes "The Satanic Bible" a foundational text for Satanists? - How does Anton LaVey's bricolage of ideas challenge traditional esotericism? - What are the core principles in the provocative "Book of Satan"? - How does "The Book of Lucifer" advocate for a new rationality within Satanist philosophy? - In what ways does "The Book of Belial" approach the subject of magic and its practical applications? - What role do the "Enochian keys" in "The Book of Leviathan" play in Satanic rituals? Angela's Symposium is dedicated to sharing free, academically sound knowledge on esotericism and religious studies, supported by peer-reviewed sources.

This week on Toilet Radio we watched 1989 Christian documentary Hell's Bells: The Dangers of Rock N' Roll. Jordan and I sat down and watched all three hours of this thing so we could bring you the choicest nugs of a film that, quite honestly, has a firmer grasp on obscure kvlt heavy metal history than your average Metal Archives dipshit. Hosted by Eric Holmberg of Reel to Reel Ministries, Hell's Bells present a 5-part warning of the battle for your teen's soul as the foul forces of Satan infect the music of Celtic Frost, King Diamond, Diamanda Galas, Current 93, and George Michael. Join us as we backmask messages, flip through the Satanic Bible, get confirmation of demonic influence from "respected law enforcement officers" and get in on a lil' Satanic panic. It's a good one.

Despite ritual being an integral part of Satanism, misconceptions still persist, even among some Satanists. Enjoy part 1 of a special two-episode exploring Satanic ritual. Happy Halloween!
Our guest Dave Bryan shares his dramatic eye-witness account of one woman's rescue from the macabre maze of Satanic Ritual Abuse and the Crowleyan “Rituals of Defilement” back to the family of God. Although rigorously denied by the spokespeople of the Church of Satan, it gives the only available account of the bizarre and mind-bending events that led up to the death of Anton LeVay, the "Black Pope” who authored The Satanic Bible and was the founder and High Priest of The Church of Satan. Dave recounts his involvement of Anton's unexpected demise on Halloween Eve of 1997 during "a spiritual show-down”. This over-whelming victory of a small band of praying Christians stands as an epic testimony to the triumph of The Spirit of God over all the spirits of darkness.

He is Provost, Professor of Philosophy and Apologetics, and Norman L. Geisler Chair of Christian Apologetics at Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, North Carolina.

We turn our attention to a Relevant Magazine article which tells us about how white Evangelicals are super concerned about America being a “Christian nation.” Other racial demographics, not so much. This doesn't seem sus, as the cool kids like to say. We continue the number crunching with the alarming statistic that a minority of Christians understand tithing (probably including pastors). The rest of will be a surprise, but let's just say that no, you don't have to be Republican to be a Christian, silly rabbit. And apparently we really annoyed some people by suggesting that debt forgiveness is an actual, factual Christian thing to do. Maybe they accidentally read the Satanic Bible instead of the Holy one?

Today, Darkness Radio is Encountering Anton LaVey and The Church of Satan with Carl Abrahamsson! Carl Abrahamsson was a young man in Sweden who quickly became fascinated by the magic act of Anton LaVey and his appearances in different occult magazines in his native land. He went from creating a fanzine and band, to making a song dedicated to LaVey to soon interacting with him and getting contributions of articles from LaVey to Carl's Newsletter. Carl then struck up a friendship with LaVey towards the end of his life that gave him a unique retrospective of the man behind the Church of Satan. Carl Abrahamsson joins us today to talk about that relationship, the legacy he has left behind, and what made LaVey the cult of personality that he was. Get the book, "Anton LaVey and The Church of Satan: Infernal Wisdom from the Devil's Den" here: https://bit.ly/3Dx4S8b To find out more about Carl Abrahamsson, check out these links: https://www.carlabrahamsson.com/ https://vimeo.com/ondemand/intothedevilsden https://www.patreon.com/vanessa23carl Darkness Radio is partnering up with the UFO Disclosure Symposium!
