* Further Evidence of the Satanic Age by Magister Paradise* Buy Now: https://amzn.to/30p9Ftm* This essay is framed as a reflection on Satanism’s impact on society and culture in the decades of its existence up until the 2000’s.* The 1960’s section seemingly ignoring the point of Satnism's existence while focusing on the surface differences between Christianity & Hippies and Satanism* The 1970’s section parallels the vast exposure of Anton LaVey in the media with the seemingly newfound safe and protected sexual expressions in American culture through the widespread availability of oral contraceptives of women, and the securing of Abortion rights through Roe V. Wade.* The 1980’s is centered around the Christian Fundamentalist evolution and securing of political power, which enabled the Satanic Panic to demonize, and direct children and artists TO Satanism rather than away from it.* The 1990’s section actually begins with equating mandatory celibacy with pedophilia without presenting anything but opinion to back up the assertion. It also sees the explosion of availability of Satanism online.* The 2000’s focuses on the groundswell of Satanic media and adoption by youth, including the increase in Atheism and defense of Freedom From Religion in our society.* The essay concludes with the statement that ‘The Age of Satan is undeniably here!’ * I think it would be interesting to examine the 2010’s as well, as we see the market adoption of Satanic iconography and the cultural celebration and even in some cases acceptance of Satanism, we also see a rise in offshoots that are taken more seriously than previous. * This could be based on a number of facts like rise in wannabe Satanists not liking the religion and wanting to do their own thing all banding together in another form, the inclusion of political activism in daily life and the desire to include it under the banner of Satanism, ala Christian Fundamentalism but for the christian devil, or media needing to have a salacious headline to draw readership in a dying industry due to the adoption and connection of social media. * Though I don’t agree with the pedophelia assertion, everything else in this essay is great, and I believe it would be served well with a deeper examination of why Satanism was created and looking to the future, but you could argue, that’s what books like The Church of Satan and We Are Satanists are for.* I do suggest you check out Bearing the Devil’s Mark.

* Infernal Informant* ‘We’re getting hit from every angle’: Georgia Dems fight attempt to bulldoze 2020 gains* https://www.politico.com/news/2021/12/12/georgia-democrats-fight-republicans-2020-524122* First came passage of one of the nation’s most restrictive voting bills. Then came efforts to overhaul the number of elected offices in one of Georgia’s largest counties.* Now, with the pending passage of a new congressional map, Republicans have taken another step toward dismantling the Atlanta-area engine that turned Georgia blue,
