XII/XXVIII\XXXV New entry in Letters To The Abyss. In regards to this newest entry & others like it, One must ask oneself: are these for real? There are essentially two possibilities for the motivations & outcomes of these people: 1}. If the writer takes themself seriously, then their query is unintentionally funny & supremely ignorant of Satanic philosophy; 2}. It's a prankster, &/or a useless shit-disturber, but nontheless, it has proved to be amusing. This variety can be easily summed up into two catagories: 1}. The black sheep variety - devil-worshipping reverse xians, prodigal xians, who will return to the arms of their god when castigated by an actual Satanist; this will yield one of two other reactions, that is, they will remain slaves, who, even after reading The Satanic Bible, will not ascertain it, or they will turn bushy-tail & run to the cross after experiencing some random supernatural phenominon, &/or those "evil, deceitful Satanists lied to me!" 2}. A practising xian seeking to "corner" the Satanist into revealing their "true evil nature" by leading "god's people" astray. Whatever the case, however, it is a demonstration of the ignorant stereotypes still besetting modern culture. But one can't help but to derive a chuckle. "What Would Satan Do?" 1}. Count it as amusing, & post it as I have done. 2}. Attempt to derive monetary resources from their stupidity. {I.e., acquire a P.O. Box & ask them to send you a "donation", a "sacrifice" as it were, that the Prince of Darkness will be appeased. Create a "contract" in photoshop, perhaps using a drippy font, wherein they pledge their immortal soul to the devil for the low, low price of $$$$$ {the Hell-Hotline is long-distance, you know, & you will need a good $75 - $100 for a solid hour communcating with your "sources" - or better yet, the classic "direct connection with Satan" scenario}. In all, if they are so lazy & stupid as to not grasp the philosophy as outlined in The Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey, or put in the energy to find information on their own, then they were probably not that serious to begin with, & are obviously, not Satanists at all. But they are still useful. Remember, the purpose of the herd as relative to the Satanist, is in the selfish perspective - "What do they have that I desire?" or "How can they serve Me?" By & large, the only purposes they seem to fulfill is that of sex-slave, or alternate-source of income. HAIL SATAN.

It went on to become one of the most popular and longest-running comic panels in history, and currently appears in newspapers in 38 countries, translated into 17 languages. Ripley continued to produce "Believe it or Not!" until his death in 1949. His search for unusual items kept him constantly traveling all over the world.

From Year XXX - "Prisoner requests Satanic Ritual Implements" in Nefarious News. Nefarious News: 1892: "The Nutcracker Suite" by Tchaikovsky premiered in St. Petersburg. The Wicked Word: triptych \TRIP-tik\ (noun) 1 : a picture or carving in three panels side by side 2 : something composed or presented in three parts or sections. Example sentence: My mother likes to display a gorgeous triptych of her favorite religious scenes. A painted or carved triptych typically has three hinged panels, and the two outer panels can be folded in towards the central one. A literary or musical triptych, on the other hand, generally consists of three closely related themes or parts which develop the same story. "Triptych" derives from the Greek "triptychos," formed by combining "tri-" ("three") and "ptyche" ("fold" or "layer"). Although "triptych" originally described a specific type of Roman writing tablet that had three hinged sections, it is not surprising that the idea was generalized first to a type of painting, and then to anything composed of three parts. "Triptych" can even be used as a synonym for "trilogy." . XII/XVI\XXXV Added counter & Baphomet image to Entry Page. Nefarious News: 1916: Members of the Russian nobility killed Rasputin. Siberian mystic and counselor Rasputin was killed by members of opposing Russian nobility in St. Petersburg. His ability to improve the ailing condition of Aleksey Nikolayevich, the heir to the Russian throne, had made him an influential favorite of Emperor Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra. This influence along with his debauched lifestyle made him an enemy of certain factions of nobility. XII/XV\XXXV Guest inclusion: "The Revelation of a Satan" by Salem Burke in The Devil's Diary. A "Necronomicon"-esque polemic by a Draconian Church member & friend. "Attitudes & Learning" quotes added to Quotations. Nefarious News ~ The Wicked Word ~ I. Netherworld is the world of the dead. It is the world lying beneath the earth's surface. Near synonyms include hell or Hades. A visit to the netherworld could also be an encounter with society's lower depths, the criminal underworld. Example: "His thorough knowledge of the netherworld made police suspect the author was somehow connected with a crime family." Netherworld is a combination of nether (lying below) and world. While this noun first appeared in English in the 1600s, nether had been in use since before 900. The Middle English nethere developed from the Old English neothera, which was derived from nither (further down). This word is related to beneath (below) which was formed from the Old English be- and nither. II. Moxie: 1 : energy, pep; 2 : courage, determination; 3 : know-how, expertise. A Noir term. Example sentence: Harold didn't think his son had the moxie to quit his cushy job and start his own business, but Freddy obviously had strength within him that his father hadn't seen. Did you know? "Hot roasted peanuts! Fresh popcorn! Ice-cold Moxie!" You might have heard such a snack vendor's cry at a baseball game -- if you attended it in 1924. That was the heyday of the soft drink named "Moxie," which some claim outsold Coca-Cola at the height of its popularity. The beverage was a favorite of American writer E. B. White, who wrote, "Moxie contains gentian root, which is the path to the good life. This was known in the second century before Christ and is a boon to me today." By 1930, "moxie" had become a slang term for nerve and verve, perhaps because some people thought the drink was a tonic that could cure virtually any ill and bring vim back to even the most lethargic individual. XII/XIV\XXXV Sinister Magazine & The Black Pun-Kin {Canada's Satanic Forum} linked in The Devil's Web I/Satanism. Nefarious News: 1503 - Nostradamus is born. Nefarious News: The Wicked Word ~ Hedonist: A hedonist is a person who devotes himself or herself to pleasure. In philosophy, hedonism is the devotion to self-gratification as a way of life. The adjective form of this word is hedonic (characterized by pleasure). Near synonyms of this word include epicure, gourmand, libertine, and sensualist. Hedonist is first seen in English in the 1800s. It is formed from the Greek hedone (pleasure) and -ist. The Greek hedone is related to hedys (sweet). Nefarious News: Marcel Marceau, 1923- . Mimes - Love them or hate them ~ He brought the art of pantomime to new heights. Marcel Marceau's expressive pantomime may have stemmed from his love for silent movies. As a youth, he observed talented actors telling eloquent stories without hearing a word they said. At 23, Marceau became a student at the Sarah Bernhardt Theatre in Paris, studying with Etienne Decroux, who recognized the young man's abilities. Cast for the part of "Arlequin" in a pantomime called "Baptiste," Marceau won significant acclaim for his interpretation of the character first created by Decroux. A year later, Marceau created his own signature character, a sad-faced clown named "Bip" who has been his trademark for nearly half a century. Only rarely has Marceau uttered a spoken line while in character. Yet he did have the sole line in Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie," where he uttered a single French word: "Non!" He once jokingly told an interviewer "Never get a mime talking. He won't stop." XII/XIII\XXXV Added image to Satanasutra. "Iconoclastic Law of The Flesh" in Nefarious News.

United Satanic America currency. Added Religion In The News to The Devil's Web II/Anti-xian. xian idiocy & tomfoolery that made headlines. Is it real? Dr. Franz Friedrich Anton Mesmer, 1734-1815. He was immortalized in the name of the hypnotic technique he pioneered. To become mesmerized is to become completely entranced by a sound or object to the point of hypnosis. The word was derived from the name of its discoverer, Franz Mesmer. Mesmer graduated from the University of Vienna, and became interested in the curative powers of magnets. He felt magnetic fields could be used to positively influence a force he believed present in all living creatures, which he dubbed "animal magnetism." Beginning around 1772, Mesmer tested his theory that magnets could reduce pain, apparently achieving some initial success. But after 1785, traditional physicians denounced him as a fraud. As a result, he spent the rest of his life in relative obscurity. Today, however, Mesmer's theories concerning the use of magnets in controlling pain and promoting healing have regained popularity and are being actively researched by doctors and other health professionals.

A documentary on the Ricky Kasso case; known as 'The Acid King' by his friends & customers, the devil-worshipping Kasso murdered Jerry Lauwers, whom he accused of stealing his drug money, & after making him proclaim "I Love Satan" at knifepoint, stabbed him to death & carved out his eyes; this incident also inspired the song "Say You Love Satan" by The Electric Hellfire Club. Of note: commentaries by Mgr. Peter Gilmore. As an adjunct, a new movie is scheduled to be released in "Fall 2000" by the name of Ricky 6. Mgr. Peter Gilmore is also interviewed for the October 29th "Halloween Show" episode of The Chaunce' Hayden Show. He was interviewed for about a 1/2 an hour, elucidating some of the basics of Satanism & enjoying a pleasant & entertaining repartee' with the host. This show is broadcast entirely on the internet, which would explain the uses of free language & subject matter, without censure. Indeed, after the Gilmore interview, the host was whipped on the naked rump by a domanatrix. During the interview, the host seemed to fear the aesthetics of Mgr. Gilmore, & really reached a height of eustress bordering on distress when the subject of retribution came about. One of the most interesting portions of the interview was when Gilmore related his experience with an antagonist who came at him with a knife - Gilmore easily batted him aside. Gilmore was attired in black {of course}, & as he mentioned, it's because he enjoys it that way, not because it's some sort of satanic 'must'. The host mentioned that he wasn't sure that Gilmore wasn't Satan - which brought up the point that we Satanists ARE the Gods & Devils incarnate. Indeed, there are no gods above or below us. The Dark Force in Nature swirls about the Satanist, who is indeed the incarnation of the archetypal villain {ideologically & many-times aesthetically}. Overall, the interview went smoothly, & was jovial & pleasant throughout {complete with Halloween sounds in the background}. Definitely worth the listen. HS!
