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.

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 41 - The Satanic Witch
The witching hour is upon us... but we'd rather set the clock back, as we endure the trial of Anton LaVey's worst book, The Satanic Witch. Back in Episode 24, we gave our infernal opinions about Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey’s The Satanic Bible, but LaVey wrote many more books after that, including in 1971 a slim pink volume now published under the title The Satanic Witch. This is a how-to guide for Satanist women to gain power and influence -- but mostly just by way of bewitching men’s zippers. Is this LaVey’s worst book? We sure as Hell hope so.

Episode 39 - Spotlight: LGBTQ+ Satanists
Pride is a sin, but it’s also a movement, a byword, and, if you’ll pardon the term, a higher calling. With that in mind, we’re sharing the testimonials of some of our LGBT+ Satanist listeners about how religion, gender, and sexuality intersect in their lives. We asked our Black Mass Appeal listeners about their experiences as Gay, Bi, Lesbian, Transgender, Genderqueer, Intersex, or otherwise non-conforming Satanists of all stripes so that maybe we can untangle the devil’s knot of religious and sexual identity once and for all.

Episode 38 - Mr. Crowley
We finally find out what went on in Mr Crowley’s head, as we investigate the life, times, and yes, a few crimes of Aleister Crowley, the most famous non-Satanist to ever illuminate our Satanic ethos. A poet, occultist, and so much more, Aleister Crowley was called ‘The Wickedest Man In the World,’ and his seemingly sinister magic rituals, high-living debauchery, and constant scandals have indelibly linked him to the popular image of Satanism.

Episode 35 - A Merry Little Krampus
Have yourself a creepy little Christmas as we talk about the most Satanic of holiday spirits, Krampus. This Eastern European figure speaks to a more sinister side of the holiday, appealing to Satanists as well as those tired of saccharine celebrations this time of year. Simone, Daniel, and Tabitha discuss Krampus's origins, how he evokes the darkness of the winter months, and why he's surged in popularity in the United States in the past few years. (And pay attention, there's a quiz at the end!) Also, Chicago gets the gift of religious pluralism for the holidays, and Satanic Bay Area gets ready to countdown to Year Zero.

Episode 34 - Which Craft: Witchcraft and Satanism
Maybe it's because back in Ye Olden Days witches were thought to have made pacts with the devil, but witchcraft and Satanism can often be conflated. We talk with Oakland's Woke Witch to clear up the misconceptions about modern witchcraft to see how it differs from – and intersects with – modern Satanism. While some of the lingo (magic? will? spells? meditation? ritual?) may be different, we find that for the most part, we're all striving to improve our lives and the lives of those around us.

Episode 33 - Satan in the Bible
With the amount of hand-wringing done about his power and influence, you'd think that Satan had a lead role in the Bible. Turns out, he's more of a guest star. In this show, we read the actual passages of the Bible that feature Satan as a character... and there aren't that many. We're joined again by Detryck Von Doom of Louisville Friends of Satan to bring his biblical knowledge to bear on what is commonly thought of as the "source material" – and we discover that our idea of Satan might not be coming from just those few paragraphs. Plus, Simone serves up the fruits of knowledge at Nerd Nite, we get ready for another Black Christmas with our own infernal festivities at Christmas In the Park, and some bad news possesses South Bay exorcists.

Episode 32 - Apocalypse How?
Despite Satanists not having any interest in the apocalypse, other religions – and pop culture – always try to rope Satan into their doomsday plans.

To borrow a phrase from another podcast: You're in a Satanic cult, call your dad. (As long as he doesn't melt in the rain, at least. You'll... you'll have to listen to the episode.) Black Mass Appeal lights up the silver screen again to showcase four vintage horror movies featuring Satanic cults and the panic they create.

Episode 30 - Devil Decoder: Satanic Symbols Explained
From the pentagram (or is it a pentacle?) to the Sigil of Lucifer, a Satanic symbol is easy to spot – but less easy to source and explain. In this episode, we discuss the origins and meanings of all those cool Satanic symbols you see stitched on the patches of the jackets of every Black Mass attendee.

Episode 29 - Spotlight: Being a Satanist of Color
Religion and religious conflict are entangled with race and racism throughout American history. As Satanists, we position ourselves as compassionate and empathetic people dedicated to undermining decrepit social prejudices. But Satanism has consistently attracted a mostly white audience, and some people have color report that they face particular challenges in both Satanic and non-Satanic communities. So what’s the state and nature of Satanic diversity? By popular request, we’re talking to Louisville Friends of Satan founder Detryck Von Doom about race, religion, and Satanism in 2018, plus reading our own unfaithful listener’s testaments. Also, we’re hitting the streets at San Francisco’s Sunday Streets in the Tenderloin, and before that we’ve got a big announcement about the future of Satanic San Francisco.

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.
