How to meet other Satanists around where you live

This blog is written mainly as a guide on how to meet Satanists in your area. Satanic International Network is a good place to start. Check out our Groups to see if one exists close to you. We have 33 chapters ( mainly in USA ) now. Obviously the larger cities are going to produce better results. 

Another good way is to search on Google and social media, mainly FaceBook. Either make a shout out in a ' satanic ' group on Facebook that has thousands of users in it or narrow it down and search ' Satanists Denver Colorado ' or wherever you live. 

I live in San Diego and have a Satanic International San Diego Chapter page. It is just a page to promote our meetups. People who are not even on Facebook are finding the group ever week from outside sources. 

Finally YouTube. Make a YouTube video and post it with the right tags and title. something like for a title  'Any Satanists in Denver' ? For tags use something like ' satanist, satanism, meetups, groups, online , satanic organizations, Denver Satanists Colorado' ....etc. 

So there you go. That is the best ways and personally the most successful for me. Hope this helps .

2019 on the Horizon -Is There a Future for Satanic International Network ?

   With the new decade approaching quickly what is in store for Satanic International Network? 2018 proved to be a rough year with hosting issues and the inevitable migration. We hit a few bumps, wheels stayed on but lost a hub cap or two. Some old school veterans returned as some were making yet another dramatic exit stage left. One thing is for certain, SIN does not ever sit stale for very long. Talent comes and goes as new talent sharpens their senses and hone their craft.. SIN is one of three Satanic Networks/ Forums that managed to still be standing after the atomic age of Social Media Giants laid wasted to the smaller stars. As I write this the only stirring I can hear if I listen close enough is coming from the 600 club and LTTD ( Letters to the Devil.). Seems the apex for all of the standing Satanic Networks may have been in 2015?

Well as long as I am around and the admin are still enthusiastic about what I set out to unfold back in 2010 we shall continue on. Yes there will be slow times. Maybe even not a cricket chirp for a entire day. Thankfully it has never been that bad. We have as I write this seen a new uprising of fresh activity form new users. One thing I have noticed over the last 8 1/2 years is the flow might peak and wane, follow the social drama or internal turmoil which and every other way imaginable, we still produce change.

Here are some highlights we are planing on implicating in January 2019.

2019 will have a new look that is already being designed on a hidden clone network with many new user plugin apps.

 Maps and chat rooms are being updated. Personal profiles are now customizable for all users. Now you can trick your profile out with apps , music players, bios, videos and links to your own projects.

We are working on a workshop of sorts for those wanting to learn about certain elements of Magic or the LHP. Talk is being heard of live streaming talk sessions or interviews kinda like Facebook or YouTube offers.

The chat room is now open to the public instead of being closed to all but network users.

Hard to say what will become of 2019. I can say it is promising.. I took a personal break to pursue a few other things and straighten some of my own shit out. Now that I am squared away and on stable ground I will be pushing SIN like never before starting January..

I look forward to seeing you all there. Remember SIN is free to use for all.. SIN is a collective vision of many and serves as a social networking hub for users to mingle and grow together or alone.


On a more personal note I did successfully launch a clothing shop Satanic Fashion. I have over one hundred shirt designs in all colors, variations, styles, sizes and gender. Most shirts are set at $ 16.66. If business continues to grow at its present state of profit I should be able to never have work for anyone else again or work a job that I dislike. Retired. I have worked hard all my life ( since I was 14 ) and I am ready to grab a good woman, cold beer and do what it is I enjoy doing and with the person I enjoy doing it with . Love you.

A Message to the 'Satanic Clergy'

A message to the holy trinity of 'satanic' douchbaggery... brought to you by a humble satanist with no prefix.

Satanic International Network

Satanic International Network has been coined the facebook of Satanism.Although some of us got our start reading the literature produced by Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan, many are self styled, and we encourage everyone under the encompassing title to join us for social networking and discussion, friendship and interaction.Even if you are not a Satanist yourself, or if you are simply seeking further education about the topic, this is the place for you. We encourage all types of Left Hand Path practitioners and critical thinkers. 

Satanic International Network has discussion forums and blogs. Also users may create their own profile, upload videos and pictures and participate in live video/audio/text chat with others. The site also offers a PDF library with hundreds of informative books related to Satanism and the occult.

Tom Raspotnik ( Tom Blackwood / GM Blackwood )

  By Zach Black -

  It is high time some exposes this clown. It has been done before. But I will do it again.
 Tom Rasputnik goes by many names. He is also known as Tom Blackwood or GM Blackwood. Tom has been tumbling around the Satanic internet forums and networks for a long time. He gets booted out of most of them due to his pretentiousness and stupidity.

    Tom Rasputnik has made grandiose claims of epic magnitudes such as that he is the founder of Satanism. Depending on who he is speaking with he will sometimes claim that he is the founder of theistic Satanism only. Which is one of the many reasons most Satanists laugh at him. Clearly these claims are false and easily disproven.

    I first met Tom Raspotnik in 2009. He joined Satanic International Network and immediately started post his typical nonsense about being some grand popular Satanist and founder of theistic Satanism. He was laughed off the network within hours. But, he reappeared hours later under GM Blackwood. And claimed the first Tom was a troll. He was laughed off again. So, for round three Tom and maybe one or two other people started creating all sorts of accounts trying to make it look like Tom had some sort of following. Which he doesn't. This is typical of Tom. He tries to convince people he is someone important, even if Tom himself has to create dozens of accounts.

   I had no idea who this clown was. But several others did. nd told me that as soon as Tom discovers something in the Satanic realm he will try to conquer it. And if he fails he will try to destroy it.

  A good example of this behavior recently is his attacks on the Satanic Temple and Lucien Greaves. The Satanic Temple and Lucien especially has been getting a lot of media attention. Most notably their attempts to resurrect  a Satanic monument in Oklahoma.


  Tom can't stand when another group of Satanists are doing something successfully and are getting attention doing it. Tom attacked Lucien with all kinds of slander.Calling Lucien a fraud and a scam. Even going as far as to call Lucien a pedophile. Tom has made nearly a dozen anti-Lucien blogs with in a few weeks. Tom also posted something on facebook saying that Lucien was his pupil and understudy. LOLZ. Lucien has never heard of Tom before. But, according to Tom Raspotnik all Satanists are his understudy because Tom created Satanism. Truth is the Satanic Temple has gotten more attention in a few days then Tom has gotten in his entire 'career ' as a ' Satanist '. And it kills Tom. This is all about Toms jealousy and envy. What he cant have he wants to destroy.

                                                     The Satanic monument prototype 

The Satanic Monument being built 

  We I pressed Tom as to why he is attacking Lucien his reply was epic fail. One reason Tom said is because the monument does not represent all Satanists. Tom suggested just a inverted pentagram. Although the monument was never intended to represent all Satanists, it does have an inverted pentagram on it. Tom attacks and slander got so outta control Lucien slapped Tom with a cease and desist order. Threatening to take Toms assets ( what little he has ) and even Toms fathers house, where Tom resides.

  Tom claims his father lives with him. But I saw the legal papers that Tom was served with. The house belongs to his father. I am not knocking Tom for living with his father. Only that he lied about it. Which he does on just about everything. Tom also claims to be wealth and own several businesses. That is false. Tom is a truck driver that delivers mail and packages.

  Tom recently created some laughable pole about who are the most well known Satanists. He claims it was independently created and voted upon. Well, guess who came in first place. Tom did. I came in second and I think LaVey came in third or fourth. Does this sound right to you guys? LOL.

   If Tom can not create any attention for himself he will ride others coat tails that are getting the attention. He has done it to me and several others. And now he is doing it to the Satanic Temple and Lucien Greaves.

  Tom is to stupid and so desperate for attention he seems to be ignoring the cease and desist order that was served to him by the Satanic Temples lawyer. I hope Tom does ignore it. I hope Tom gets the shit sued outta him. I offered Lucien 100 bucks for Toms barn.

  Tom, nobody takes you seriously. You have proven yourself to be a liar and charlatan. You make blatant lies that can't be substantiated. When called out you quickly will deny and remove them. And say it was not really you but an imposter.

  Tom calling me a drunk is like me calling you fat and ugly. We both are right. But hey, I can stop drinking. You can poke fun at me Tom for being a sushi chef. Sure. It is a decent paying job. And respected. You mentioned I had ' somewhat ' of a Youtube audience. If by somewhat you mean more subscribers and video views than all other Satanist put together on Youtube, than sure I guess you are right.

You had your fifteen seconds of fame a long tim ago Tom. Sorry it stopped there. But it did. And you and everyone else knows it. No move along and get the fuck outta the way and off our coattails tubby.


More recently Tom has claimed to hold a PHD in philosophy and a minor in theology. He is even listing these credentials on his facebook. Tom holds no degrees in anything. Tom works with a postal service moving boxes around.

In the latest news Tom Raspotnik is filing to take his former partner in trolling Robert Fraize. Should be funny to read the legal papers. Seeing how both of these self ordained idiots call themselves Pope, Reverend, Doctor ect. Although neither one of them graduated high school.
                                                                   

                                                                     Tom Raspotnik
                                                         

Seems I am not the only one who has had a Tom Raspotnik See here.


  

The future of Satanism?

        I foresee the future of Satanism right here,right now. Where else is there a more diverse dynamic group of individuals defining what Satanism is,and going to be? We have taken Satanism buy the horns and are etching out a new tablet,a new grail. Not one spoon feed by the grand fathers or yesterday ,but by the merit,content and characters that forge their way here.. This is the future of Satanism. Those that are slow or reluctant to grab hold of technology and opportunity will be forgotten. Their visions and contributions will be left on paper pages to be referenced and reflected upon.

       A valued stepping stone to the future maybe. But the future will be had and defined and redefined by us. The bold and the clever will be the ones to map out the definition of Satanism for the next generation. Everyone here has a piece of this prize. I predict that the pillars of SIN will be the names of Satanism in the future. And that the rise of the " loosely structured Cabal" will over take the hierarchy of the " church" to become a truly independent collective force of individual Satanist. What I always thought it was suppose to be.

The need to believe

I learned a long time ago it is not worth arguing with religious folk. You cant hope to achieve much trying to enlighten mystical superstitious weak minded people.Why use logic and reason to argue or debate someone who has a deep rooted psychological need to resist it? It is like arguing the shape of a cloud with a blind man? People have a NEED to BELIEVE. I cant help but to see their "faith" for what it is. A Neurotic coping Mechanism deeply anchored in the character and emotional structure of a delusional and crippled victim.A even sadder fact is these righteous,pious pursuers of heaven will probably never recover.Their entire lives,security,thought process, logic,reasoning,longing and general impression of the world around them is built on these fairy tales .

These very people push into the trusting and delicate minds of children their very own fears and delusions .If faith based mentality was replaced over night with a rational objective approach to reality,Most of these peoples emotional and mental health would crumble in days.

Faith is rooted in fear. A fear of the unknown. The unpredictable. And most of all the fear of living a life free of their conflicting neurotic mechanisms. That they now are entirely dependent on as a permanent copping mechanism.A delicate house of cards to repress guilt,rage,fear,lust,ect..

If you doubt that it is the fear of losing " control" and letting go that fuels religious fever and devotion consider this question…
Why would Organized Religion launch crusades to exterminate entire cultures ,population and races?

They claim they are doing God's work by ridding the world of "savages ,heathens,beastly,course ,perverse and deviant people. It was to much for the Holy to see free and unrestrained happy people half naked not ashamed of their own passions. These " primitive " "Godless " free loving ,living people threatened to expose the fear and inherent irrational contradictions that their culture,religion and faith rest and depend on.
It was necessary to rid the world of people who reminded them of what it is like to not live in a world based on fear ,control,rigidity and repression.The righteous will not tolerate being reminded of what they gave up in the way of life, love and happiness to pursue their " faith" .Ironically ....They gave up the one thing they claim they value above anything else.The only thing they hope to reunite in some mystical intangible everlasting bless with their Lord. Their very essence,their soul.

It was necessary to burn countless thousands of woman alive simply because they reminded these miserable ,impotent men that they themselves once felt alive in their groins. And what could be more murderously provoking than to arouse the last bit lust in some miserable ,resigned ,hateful shell of a man who longs for death?

The righteous and holy will always attempt to remove and exterminate others who think differently and do not reinforce their delusions. Even others that are equally crippled holy men of a different cloth. After all ,what if the other religion is right? There was no clause for that in the gospels?So if they are right,that would make you wrong. And a cloud of anxiety and horror will surely await .There is no other reason or explanation to make light of how even intelligent ,educated worldly and presumably logical well adjusted people could ignore scientifically proven facts that are in sharp contradictions to their faith?
Even Scientist themselves are still spending their entire lives trying to prove evolution is false. That carbon dating and the known age of the universe around us is grossly inaccurate.In the opposition of all evidence and reason they still will not let go of their delusions. They can not. It is simply something they are incapable of doing. It would mean an end to the fictions they have grown depended on to cope and function. A dissolving of the very deep emotional layers of repression and rigidity they have spent a life time building.

Not to mention for the first time in their lives they are unsure of what lies beyond.

If a man of average intelligence reviews the idea of God with a rational objective approach he will come to one conclusion.
God is possible ,but highly unlikely.

And one more Agnostic is born. God is nothing but an imaginary friend for adults.

The universal need to believe should be looked at as a mass induced psychosis. A protective mechanism early man evolved after the horror,uncertainty and isolation he must of felt leaving the comfort of the jungle for the open fields towards the unknown.

Zach Black Interview with Warlock Asylum

I became familiar with your persona by way of The Ooze. You have
definitely accomplished a lot over the past few years, but for our
readers who may not know who you are, how would you describe yourself?  

         I
consider myself a ' self styled ' Satanist. I am from the LaVeyan school
originally . But now after meeting many other Satanist combined with
age and personal life experience my perspective has philosophy has
developed into something beyond LaVeyan Satanism. Something more
sinister in nature.The closest specific leanings I have at this point
would be ONA.

2. What sparked your interest in the occult, and more specifically Satanism?

    I was interested in magic and the occult from about the age of 10. I
never really swallowed the idea of ' God'. Although I tried as a child.
When I grew old enough to apply my own reasoning skills and stand up
against my folks I walked away from Christianity . Heavy metal was an
influence to . With the Satanic imagery and what not. Also this was back
in the late 80's. The hey day of the Satanic panic. So that kinda
peaked my interest as well. 

3. Over the past few years there has been an increased
presence in alternative forms of Satanic thought. In view of such, what
is your definition of a Satanist?

       My definition of a Satanist would be someone who can think
for themselves. Someone who does not need to be told what to do. Someone
who champions individuality and creativity. And lives life to the
fullest. Also someone that does not believe in imaginary friends for
adults. 

4. How did you become a Satanist?

    I was a runaway at the age of 13. I came across another runaway who
was a few years my senior. He carried around the Satanic Bible . I was
intrigued . So I read it . And it really resonated with me. The rest is
history .

5. How has this path benefited you over the years, and were there any obstacles that you faced along the way?

    Satanism has benefited me in a few ways. I think it has helped me
become a stronger man. It has increased my awareness of myself ,others
and the world around me. Satanism has helped me lose my illusions and
become more of a realist.



   Some of the obstacles I have encountered over the years have
mainly been in personal relations with friends ,family and lovers. I
have lost close people in all three fields by advertising the fact I am a
Satanist. Not to mention a few jobs. This is why I don't advertise
anymore. With the exception of online stuff. But I have recently been
outta in my area here in San Diego. But at this point down the road I am
not really to concerned about it anymore.

6. I would like to congratulate you on the success of the
Satanic International Network. Can you tell us what inspired you to
create the network?

    Thank you .  I created Satanic International Network to serve as a
networking hub for all Satanist to meet. I saw the limitations of
Satanic ' organizations'. Most having a specific hierarchy and asked for
money to be part of the ' elite'. Or the ' in ' crowd. I feel for that
shit when I was 18 and joined the church of Satan . You should not have
to call someone some fancy prefix and pay money to meet other like
minded individuals.

7. You are also involved with the successful internet radio
series The Ooze. How did the unique collaboration between The Ooze and
S.I.N come about?

     The creator and visionary behind the Ooze T.C. Downney ( Beastxeno
)  approached me on youtube. We developed a friendship . And over time
the Ooze developed new co-host and I was one of them for a while. 
Beastxeno also helped me create Satanic International Network . Without
his help it would not exist.

 8. Are there any projects that you are currently working on?

     Actually at
the moment I am just trying to promote the Satanic International
Network. It just reached its one year mile stone. Growing faster than
ever before. The network takes up most of my free time. I have a few
things on the back burner . But until I set the wheels in motion I would
just assume they do not exist. 

9. What advice would you give to those newly interested in the
occult, as well as, LHPers, Necronomicon Practitioners, New Agers,
Satanists, and the whole occult world in general?

      Read. Live life. Put into action . Not just talk . And most importantly find your own way .

Zach Black Interview with Crypt Magazine

by David Necro

Photos courtesy of Zach Black



On the surface, Zach Black doesn't seem to fit the stereotype of a Satanist. Blond hair, blue eyes, clean cut, and no black robes or black eye makeup in sight. And no, he doesn't live in a gritty industrial town like Detroit or Oakland. But, as they say, it's what on the inside that matters. And the beast is within, boils and ghouls. This cat knows his shit and he's got years of experience to back it up. We caught up with Zach to chat about what else, Satanism, Szandora, and everything in between such as his cool new network here on the web, Satanic International Network.

David Necro: Why are you a Satanist?



Zach Black: I identify myself as a Satanist because the philosophy resonates with me. I read the Satanic Bible at the age of 13. And it just seemed to fit with what I already felt and how I perceived the world. I was kinda lost at that time . I did not really feel as if I fit into any religion or other philosophy . Satanism just seemed to work. It is the best reflection of how I feel and perceive the world around me.



DN: Why do you feel it is the best reflection of how you feel and percieve the world around you?



ZB: As the common saying goes, "Satanism are born and not made." It's just the way I percieve life.



DN: Can you tell our readers why Satanism over anything else?



ZB: Honestly I have not bothered to look into all that many other religions or philosophies. Of course I am familiar with the basic principles of the more popular religions. But I never pursued any intense study of them. Any religion or philosophy that is theistic in nature I avoid. Satanism being a philosophy based around indulgence and practical experience seems to make most sense to me .



DN: Why does Satanism make the most sense to you?



ZB: Satanism just seems to work. It's the most accurate depiction of how I naturally feel.



DN: Did you have another religous belief (for lack of a better term) before Satanism?



ZB: I was raised Catholic . But not really in a strictly Catholic home. I was raised by my mother who claims to be catholic but only goes to church on like christmas mass once a year. My father who I saw infrequently was very catholic . I was forced to go to church when I was with him every Sunday. I found church to be creepy. Holding hands with strangers. Kneeling and praying. The singing and chanting always spooked me out. I felt very uncomfortable in Church . I hated it even as a child. About the age of 10 or 11 I started to refuse to go . Although at the time I still believed in ' God' I had had enough the Church . This caused serious issues between me and my Father. My father ended up moving out of state shortly after and I have not stepped foot into a church ever since. It was around the age of 12-13 that I stopped believing in God. This is a common age when a lot of people develop an interest in the Occult . I think probably because this age is really when people start developing a sense of self and logic function. Matched with a raging Libido some of us turn away from the herd.



DN: Regarding your religious beliefs before Satanism, so you think 13 is a prime age for people to get into Satanism? Why is that?



ZB: Well, I've noticed that right around the age of puberty for some reason it seems like a lot of people develop interest in Satanism or the Occult. That's when you start to be independent, start to think for yourself, and start to break away from oppression.



DN: Well, is 13 a lucky number in Satanism, or is there no such thing?



ZB: I don't really see any relevance or significance to the number 13. I think it's to do with phsyical and mental development to kind of turn away from the herd at that point.



DN: There's several forms of Satanism, which do you subscribe to?



ZB: I consider myself a ' self-styled Satanist' . I am an atheistic Satanist. I came from the LaVeyan school of Satanism. But I would not call myself a LaVeyan Satanists. Although most would peg me as such. I take what works for me from the LaVeyan school and discard the rest. I dont believe in Magic and Ritual. And I think some of LaVeys Satanic rules of the earth and Satanic Sins are silly or impractical.



DN: You don't believe in magic and rituals? Why is that?



ZB: I do believe in the principles of lesser magic which are more along the lines of psychology and understanding. The human motivation and personality. As far as greater magic goes and ritual, I have not  practiced that for well over 10 years. Greater magic is more a form of psychodrama, and I think it's wishful thinking. It might have an effect on the magician practicing it; a sense of building confidence and help



to focus direction.



DN: Have you been to or participated in a Black Mass?



ZB: No, I have not. Actually, I haven't done any group ritual. But, all the greater magic rituals are private rituals that I've done.



DN: Now would you say Satanists are more aggressive go-getters than not?



ZB: I would say Satanists are more practical. They focus more on self-indulgence, than dreams and illusions. I would say that yes, more go-getters.



DN: What is the Satanic way, and how do you apply it to your day to day living?



ZB: For me the Satanic way is living life to the fullest. Concentrating on the here and now . Finding happiness and fulfillment in your life. Breaking free of the moral dynamics and societal restraints that keep you bound to there rules. I practice this in life by doing what I want . I limit my societal obligations to a bare minimum . I try and detach myself from the system that tells you ,you need this to be happy and respected.



DN: So what have you been doing lately?



ZB: Well I created a social networking site for Satanists called Satanic International Network. It is the largest and most active network for Satanists ever. I created this network to be a networking hub for Satanists. No longer is there a need to join a ' church' or any other organization simply to meet like minded Satanists. No longer do you have to listen to some dumb dick high priest ,reverend,magister or grand poo- bah fancy pants tell you how cool he is .  Satanic International Network is simply a networking hub devoid of pretentiousness ,ranks,titles and hierarchy . As of October 2011 there are about 2200 users. From all over the world. Free to join . You can created your own profiles and blogs. Upload pictures and videos. Participate in the open discussion forums. Chat live in the video chat room . This is IT, ladies and gentlemen. THE place to be if you are a Satanist seeking out like minds and comradery amongst your peers on the Path.



http://www.satanicinternationalnetwork.com

DN: Ok, what does that do for you, and what does it do for others?



ZB: Giving us an outlet to exchange ideas, to learn from each other. It's a great social outlet to meet other Satanists.



DN: You've rubbed shoulders with Satanic celebs like Szandora LaVey snd Rev. Thomas Thorn. You have a story about Szandora that you wanted to share...



ZB: I came across Szandora LaVey on our radio show, The OOZE. I was on there with her on her show called 'Satanic Witchery.' She was talking about being a Satanic witch. I then talked to her on Facebook and what not, and she was in Hollywood for



a photo shoot. She contacted me and asked if I wanted to meet this guy named Father Larry. He was friends with Anton LaVey. Father Larry was in the documentary about Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan. Anyway, I met up with Szandora in Hollywood.



We had a couple of drinks, hung out, and talked about the Church of Satan and stuff like that. Then we went to where Father Larry was at. It was weird. Like this compound that had all of these shrubs and high fences all the way around. In order to get in you had to buzz in and say the magic word.



Everything in the place was from the 1960s except for the TV and computer. And I got to meet Father Larry. Father Larry recently produced a documentary called 'Iconoclast.' He's a really, really nice guy. The biggest Satanist I've ever seen, man. The guy's like 6'6"-6'7" and well over 300 pounds.



Giant man. We talked about the film, which he gave me an autographed copy of. Szandora LaVey and Father Larry, both of these people are good people. Szandora is the epitome of a Satanic witch.



DN: In your You Tube video about Venus Satanas, you said there's gonna be a new queen of Satanic videos. Who were you referring to?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvFmVuh46WY

ZB: Well, there were a couple of contenders for a while. Venus Satanas isn't really a Satanist, she's more of a dark wiccan peddling Satanism for her own gain with her spiritual Satanism bullshit. Selling her incense, candles, and crap like that. But, I was hoping Szandora would step up and make some videos. It's unfortunate that the most popular female "Satanist" on You Tube is Venus Satanas. It would be nice if there's someone who's a real witch, who's a real Satanist like Szandora LaVey.



But, Szandora LaVey's pretty busy and has efforts elsewhere. Somebody will take the throne from Venus.



DN: Has Venus boxed herself into a corner so to speak?



ZB: Yeah, she exposed herself as being a hypocrite and a liar. She's really not that respected among Satanists much anymore. Except for her small ahndful of admirers and followers.



DN: Now there's also a guy that you made a video on, Venger Satanis.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkbFSra-CbA

What was that all about?



ZB: He's alright, man. He started the Cult of Cthulu which is kinda like Satanism with an H.P. Lovecraft twist on it. But various things happened, and it wasn't tongue-in-cheek anymore. He went on his messiah kick and kind of lost face in the Satanic community. But, to each is own.



DN: So that video is old and is not part in parcel of how you feel now. True?



ZB: Well, I still think the Cult of Cthulu is a joke. But, I buried the hatchet with Venger Satanis. We just agree to disagree and stay out of each others way.



DN: Anything else you would like to plug or promote?



ZB: The radio show, The OOZE, on Blog Talk Radio. It's a live radio show, we have everything from occult topics to special guest speakers.

Do your own fucking homework

I am really fucking tired of people asking me stupid questions about Satanism. As an example I get these types of questions.

 ' I am new to satanism but willing to learn . Can you teach me? '

  No I cant fucking teach you . Even if I could I would not .'

 ' Where can I get a copy of the Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey?'

  Just about anywhere . Have you even tried to look? Do you think I have a personal orchard that grows copies of the TSB ?

  ' I want to be rich and a famous. How do I sell my soul to Satan ? '

    I will tell you and send you Satans email address if you put 50 bucks into my paypal .

  ' How do I tell my parents I am a Satanist?'

  If you enjoy living in your room at your parents house I would not. But if you really need to I recommend this method....( see video at end of blog)

  I try to be patient and understanding. I really do . And I get accused of being to ' nice' by my peers more often than I get accused of being to mean by my foes.

  But seriously. Do I look like the dear Abby of Satanism? Do I really come across that way?

   No one was there to hold my hand when I wanted to learn about Satanism. There was no youtube video to watch. No blogs to read. No internet. No people to hang out with . Anyone who has been into Satanism for more than 10-15 years will tell you this. You gotta do your own homework. You gotta sift through the paper pages and read. There is no books on tape. No youtube video is gonna tell you what it is all about . You gotta do what us old farts did back in the day . Go to the bookstore and read.

   We can point you in the right direction . But it is up to you to do the foot work. Do not ask other to do it for you . Why would we? If you are to lazy or stupid to do it for yourself than you probably wont get it anyway. Look for your attention somewhere else.

Coming 'out' as a Satanist

Ok. I just gotta throw this out there. There are a lot of you ' Satanists ' that wont show your face. You post a lot. Have a lot to say about the rest of us. But, you never post a picture of yourself. Your profile picture is of an inverted pentagram or some stupid cartoon picture which you consider to be ' sinister' or some other dumb shit.

Now I understand on a certain level. I understand why you might want your Satanism kept private. But seriously. Then go by a a different online name. It is hard to take you guys seriously when you hide behind a cartoon avatar and a name like ' Satan666Slayer' or some other equally silly shit.

It does not matter if you are fat,old,ugly or have detachable limbs. Stop being a pussy. My name is not Zach Black. Zach is my first name. And my real name is out there and not hard to find. But clearly I show my face. I have 700 youtube videos. I have been recognized on the street and by my neighbors. Sure , Iwould like to remain anonymous. But I am not gonna be , nor have I ever been one of ' those ' people that hide behind google and talk shit. Have some pride. Have some balls.

You do not need to shout from the tree tops ' MY NAME IS JOHN SMITH , AND I AM A SATANIST' ! .

All you need to do is use an online name. But no need to hide your entire identity. Well very few reasons. Your employer will not find you . Show your face. It is hard to take you seriously if you do not.

Here are a few examples of how some Satanists remain anonymous. And yes I know all there real names. But these are just a few examples of Satanists that are out of the closet and have the balls to stand up.These are our internet names,,but all of these names are real faces and not just cartoon icons . They are not afraid to show their face.

Zach Black,beastxeno,Venger Satanis,Venus Satanas,Ego Diablos,Jason King,Durk Campbell,Thomas LeRoy,Michael W. Ford,Szandora LaVey,Giddle Go Go Partridge,Boyd Rice,ect,ect,ect,. The list goes on.

Whatever Happened to the Church of Satan?

     There are many reasons why the Church of Satan failed. This is all in my opinion of course. But it is fairly obvious and many share this opinion.

    1. The internet. The internet made it possible to communicate with other like minded people all over the world. No need to pay for membership fees to some ' church ' or organization in order to connect with others.

    2. Lack of involvement of the internet. The current C of S does not have much of an online presence. After LaVey died the C of S spent years Jocking for positions and restructuring its administrative roles. They failed to corner the market for Satanism online. Which they probably coulda ( back in the late 90's/ Early 2000's ) if they tried.They dropped the ball,and they know it. Which is why Gilmore has this attitude that if you are not part of the C of S then you are not a real Satanist. Even on youtube. The C of S on youtube is a joke. Peter Gilmore's channel is practically ignored. There is no reason that I should have 10x more subscribers than Gilmore and the C of S. Check it out.

     This is an epic fail on the C of S and Gilmore's part.Again the C of S shoulda dominated all corners on the internet , all popular media outlets ( youtube,facebook,ect) but they did not bother.

    3. Peter Gilmore. Gilmore lacks the charisma and leadership traits that LaVey had.Gilmore has done little publicly to promote the C of S after 15 years. The C of S has grown stagnant. Gilmore seems to be content with merely collecting the 200 dollar membership fee which he doubled from 100 dollars when he took over as High Priest. These are the main reasons in my opinion. I am sure there are plenty more.
