The Devil You Don't Know
A podcast that explores the historical and cultural relevance of the figure known as the Devil. For many, The Devil is an entity not to be trifled with. He (most often it is a "he" pronoun) has an aim to tempt you away from God. For others, The Devil is a fictitious character carefully designed as propaganda; a scare tactic for the faithful. The consequences of this belief around The Devil have been severe. Antisemitism, the crusades, the inquisition, the witch trials, the Satanic Panic, and even today there is Q'Anon. The Devil is VERY real to many people and in this podcast we will look into how this came to be. You already know The Devil You Know. We are uncovering The Devil You DON'T Know.

Episode 60 - History of Human Sacrifice
In difficult times, some sacrifices must be made -- but not by us. In spite of what Hollywood tells you, Satanists are one of the only modern religious practices with no historical connections to ritual human sacrifice. So where do these myths come from, and why does society insist on goring this ox on our altar all the time? Put on some heavy gloves, because we’re taking a messy tour of the history of ritual human sacrifice -- the most un-Satanic of all religious rites.

Minisode 02 - Goats, Devil's Food Cake, and the fake history of the Black Mass
The hosts of Black Mass Appeal are wrapping up their pre-Halloween hiatus, but still have one more bonus minisode for you! In this show, Tabitha talks about the Greatest of All Time: goats, Simone indulges in some Devil's Food Cake, and Daniel dives in to the storied history (very storied, as in totally made up) of the Black Mass.
Minisode 01 - Video games, Pazuzu, and the Denver airport
Black Mass Appeal is on vacation this week as we prepare for the most wonderful time of year: Halloween! But we're not leaving you high and dry -- here's the first of two mini episodes we'll be posting this week and next week, where your hosts Simone, Tabitha, and Daniel talk about a few Satan-y subjects that didn't quite make it into a full episode. Tabitha dives into the devils of the video game realm, Simone explains the demon Pazuzu and how Satanic Bay Area came to use him as a symbol for their most recent ritual, and Daniel takes a trip to conspiracy-land via the Denver airport.
