Let’s Be Terrible For a Moment…
One of my oldest friends has a two-year-old daughter. She’s made of sunshine and giggles, but she bursts into tears whenever a stranger pops their head in the front door. Since few people are stranger than I am, and since my schedule keeps me from visiting as often as I would like, I remain terrifying […]
The Myth of the Magickal Quick-Fix
I receive emails weekly where someone wants me to make them a pact, item, amulet, fetish, oil, incense, or other mixture that will magickally fix all their life’s ills. As if possessing the item alone, or having someone else do the work for them will allow them to sit back and collect their millions, their […]
Daemonolater’s Guide to Sex, Money, & Power
This booklet wasn’t something I took lightly to writing. I wrote it in response to the growing number of people (most of them Christians) who contact me expecting that for $50, I can make Satan and the Daemonic bring them sex, money, and power. It was a similar issue that called for me to write Daemonic […]
The Power of ‘I Don’t Know’
This past year I celebrated my 11th year as a Satanist. Near the anniversary I planned on writing a post about what I had learned and how my views had changed over that span of time. After working on it for a time, I began to realize that I don’t really like to write about […]
Color
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the misconceptions and “facts” that are commonly held about our community. The difference between what is perceived and what is real. Some of these perceptions are thrust upon us, such as the Devil-made-me-do-it Oklahoma commandment smasher, who has of course, already been debunked as a lifelong Christian. But […]
Conventions, Communities, and Change
At the end of July I had the opportunity to attend the 2nd International Left Hand Path conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. I had an absolutely great time, and I was going to come home and write a blog post for August detailing the things that made the trip so much for me. Unfortunately, things did […]
The Importance of Timing
I have always felt that timing was important. In business, in relationships, in practically everything. But more so than that, I have always believed there was a significance to the timing of certain events in my life. As if they were meant to happen at exactly that moment. And as I have grown older, I […]
Abyssal Communion & Rite of Imbibement

The Abyssal Communion & Rite of Imbibement is a ritual guide for those wishing to learn and incorporate the beauty of the Abyssal Communion (sometimes called Elemental Communion) and Rite of Imbibement into their personal Daemonolatry practice. The book includes explanations of […]
Changes
This month’s topic has been debated by online groups, forums, and organizations for years, and will probably continue to be debated for quite some time. Very few ideas or concepts within the occult field are as hotly contested or argued over, and I believe that to be due to the personal attachments and feelings people […]
