For many years, particularly since the death of Anton Szandor LaVey, numerous groups and individuals have risen to proclaim themselves "Satanists." Yet time and again a serious investigation into their beliefs, practices and attitudes suggest that they have no grasp at all of even the most basic principles of what being a Satanist are. Many of these groups are little more then personal cults made using the name of Satan. Others are more insidious, looking to warp minds towards their ultimately life-denigrating aims.

This will end.

As the late Terence McKenna was fond of saying, "If the Truth can be told so as to be understood it will be believed." All the more, the truth will out. It is with these idea in mind that I have begun this blog.

I am unconnected to any Satanic group. I am uninterested in their internal politics.

I have no axe to grind nor desire to lay undue praise upon the late Anton Szandor LaVey. I seek only to preserve what was good, expose what was bad and hopefully illuminate the unexplored depths of his thoughts.

By the Horns of Creation and Recreation, and in the name of Satan, let us begin.
