Black Mass Appeal: Modern Satanism for the Masses

On this episode: Total destruction, from mountain to shore!

When it comes to lording over other Satanist writers, Byron has got the goods.

It's our 200th episode, and we're finally, completely giving the devil his due.

Time to fire up the coals for a modest proposal as we grill some historians about some of their most brazen claims.

We're getting our just desserts, but what exactly do Satanists have coming to us?

It's all about the haves, the have-nots, and the shouldn't-haves as we gaze longingly at this particularly pernicious sin.

Dee Mendez, an artist and creature cosplayer known for her striking portrayal of Baphomet, joins to discuss the rich tapestry of modern Satanism. They explore the idea of 'living deliciously' as a balance of indulgence and self-care, contrasting it with traditional religious views. The conversation dives into historical perspectives, particularly the intersection of women and the devil, reflecting on gender dynamics and the pursuit of happiness. Mendez’s insights highlight the complexities of pleasure as they advocate for a thoughtful approach to personal ethics and desires.

Nobody ever makes sacrifices to Satan, so why the pop cultural obsession with this idea? We take a stab at it.
