Satanists discuss modern Satanism, its history, left-leaning political activism, and how Satanism relates to current events and pop culture. It's a show for the Satan-curious, or those already involved in Satanic groups.
Episode 28 - How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Lovecraft
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all that it knows about H.P. Lovecraft: the admired, reviled, and deeply weird 20th century horror writer whose tentacles keep creeping into our Satanic philosophy. We’re finally breaking out the Elder Sign on some old school horrors as we look at the life and writings of good ol' Howard Phillips, and the weird effect he’s had on Satanism and pop culture. Plus, in our extra-long news segment, we discuss the Satanic Temple controversy over their devil’s advocate. (Note: in this episode, the news comes after our main topic, to spare newbies and casual listeners.)
