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 49 - Satan's Silence with Debbie Nathan
Thirty years ago, a Satanic Panic possessed America's courts, cops, and prosecutors, all because of a rampant urban myth that secretive Satanic cults were on the rise. Writer Debbie Nathan's 1995 book Satan's Silence dared advocate for the devil with a skeptical look at the crisis as it unfolded. We discuss what it was like to witness a new hysteria unfold, and the echoes that we still feel decades later.

We’re naming names and dire designations by unfurling the meanings and histories of the many, many, many names of our good friend Satan throughout the ages. Why does the devil have so many names, and what do they all mean? We delve into the devil's directory to explore all of the dire definitions. Which one is the real deal, and which names -- if any -- should Modern Satanists defer to? By popular request, it’s time to play the name game.

Episode 47 - Lilith's Fare
The Satan myth has long been a man’s game, but there’s at least one feminist folktale that refuses to lie down and let just one gender have the devil all to itself.

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. Praise, condemnation, questions, and weather reports from hell can be sent to blackmassappealpod@gmail.com.
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.
