Black Mass Appeal is starting a run of extra episodes! Our Patreon backers get a first look at our newest minisodes, with our regular listeners getting them in their feed a few weeks afterward. For our first -- well, third bonus episode overall, first of this run -- Daniel discusses one of the weirdest but most influential pieces of Anti-Satanist chicanery ever produced, Mike Warnke's The Satan Seller.

After our good friend the goat, snakes are the animal most often associated with Satan, but just what does the world have against its serpentine stalwarts? We’re going to set the sinuous record straight with a warm look at the devil’s most cold-blooded collaborators.

Ever since its invention 100 years ago, moral crusaders have blamed television for corrupting America’s minds and values -- so it’s no wonder we find our friend Satan all over this maligned medium today. For your viewing pleasure, we watch how well the Prince Of the Air takes to the airwaves.

The War on Christmas is over, but we’re expanding to other fronts with a look at how Satanists create holidays of their own -- and consider why we even need them. Satanic Temple International Council member Damien Blackmoor joins us to discuss TST's new holiday calendar, as we cover those and other Satanic sects' chosen days of celebration.

Do not attempt to adjust your podcast. For this episode, Black Mass Appeal is bringing you a different Satanic perspective, with three special guest hosts: Detryck Von Doom of Satanic Louisville, and Kasper and Vanessa of Satanic Bay Area. Together, they relate their experiences as both Satanists of color as well as members of the LGBTQ community. In this funny, smart, silly, serious, and thought-provoking discussion, they examine the many intersections of Satanism and identity.

We’re answering the last unanswerable question with the help of Stephen Bradford Long, host of the podcast Sacred Tension, who will help us finally get to the bottom of the inescapable query: But why Satan?

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.

The old saying goes that nothing is for sure except death and taxes -- some Satanists have found a way to get around that last one, but when it comes to mortality there’s no middle ground. We examine our own feelings about death from a Satanic perspective, with two guests whose occupations offer them a unique perspective.
