I'm a Warlock of the Church of Satan, artist, author, and publisher. I'm an avid collector of various books on history, philosophy, and collect many types of weapons.
I am here for intelligent conversation and to network with creative people. Lower class mentality, such as those who are bigots, religious fanatics out to save the "lost".
However, if you also appreciate the dark side of life in a sane manner, feel free to converse with me. Despite being an elitist misanthrope, I am always delighted to hear from openminded individuals. It's not that we Satanists hate all people, we just despise the majority who lack the drive to overcome their own faults and those of life's roadblocks. I feel Satanism is for the rational anti-herdist, the creative libertine who mocks the self righteous and the ambitious person who relishes life. Even if you carry the red card of the Infernal Empire, remember, they'll take your money but can YOU measure up afterward? Stratification is a part of life, if you do not believe it, you probably blame others for your failings instead of taking a harsh look at your own poor choices.
I have written a book on dark subcultures that is available on Amazon.com, from www.the9thgate.com and www.darkmoonpress.com . It is entitled Embracing The Darkness; Understanding Dark Subcultures. In it I have interviews with The Vampire Don Henrie of Sci-Fi's Mad Mad House, Michelle Belanger, Father Sebastiaan of Strigoi Vii, Peter Gilmore (High Priest of the Church of Satan), Magister Nemo of the Temple of the Vampire, Joseph Vargo and Christine Filipak of Monolith Graphics and many more.
My second book, A Mirror Darkly, is also availible, and my very first art book Dark Visions with an introduction by one of my best friends and fellow artist Joseph Vargo. Thank you Monolith Graphics for your continued support! Keep an eye on www.the9thgate.com for projects unveiled, an online store I co-own.
I've been an invited guest to Indiana University/Purdue University's world religion seminar as a guest speaker on Satanism, and in November of 2007 returned as a guest speaker for the pagan group.
I've appeared twice on Dr. Ed Craft's Magick Mind Radio discussing subjects from Embracing the Darkness.
I do my best to be a decent human being, living by certain principals that are nearly forgotten such as etiquette, common sense and ambition. One of the things I'd say to people that naysay me is a qoute from the late great Magus LaVey:
"My worst enemies are those who presume me to be harmless. They cannot imagine how much I resent and disdain them, or just how great a threat they would face if I could get at them. Everything in their behavior speaks of insult and presumptuousness, and for now it is all I can do to make constructive use of my anger toward them. At this time, I just make a list of them and keep a watch on. Some day, with the help of time, space, and circumstance, I will be able to humiliate them properly - not in a manner they would enjoy, but in a style calculated to make them wish that they had never been born."
-- Anton Szandor LaVey, 1989
And the wisdom of the Magus Peter H. Gilmore:
"...look at contemporary Satanism for what it really is: a brutal religion of elitism and social Darwinism that seeks to re-establish the reign of the able over the idiotic, of swift justice over injustice, and for a wholesale rejection of egalitarianism as a myth that has crippled the advancement of the human species for the last two thousand years."
-- Peter H. Gilmore
