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.

We’re getting in touch with our inner demons and chatting about exorcisms with religious studies professor Joe Laycock. Professor Laycock researches and teaches topics like new religions and the intersections of religion and popular culture. He’s working on a new book about exorcism and demonic possession, and in this episode we’re talking to him to get the inside story about the devils inside. Also, Satanic Bay Area has a hell of a good time planned for Halloween -- and you’re invited -- and in the news Harry Potter is facing expulsion once again. 

When those preachy 12 steps go to Hell on you, how can self-motivated Satanists get healthy? TST Seattle's Lilith Starr, author of "The Happy Satanist," talks sober Satanism.

We say hail to the king with TJ Cowgill of the Luciferian neo-folk project King Dude, who tells us about the agony and the ecstasy of being in a metal band nobody likes, how fundamentalism and witchcraft mixed in his childhood, and how his music today brings light to the world.

The hosts of Black Mass Appeal are wrapping up their pre-Halloween hiatus, but still have one more bonus minisode for you! In this show, Tabitha talks about the Greatest of All Time: goats, Simone indulges in some Devil's Food Cake, and Daniel dives in to the storied history (very storied, as in totally made up) of the Black Mass. 

Black Mass Appeal is on vacation this week as we prepare for the most wonderful time of year: Halloween! But we're not leaving you high and dry -- here's the first of two mini episodes we'll be posting this week and next week, where your hosts Simone, Tabitha, and Daniel talk about a few Satan-y subjects that didn't quite make it into a full episode. Tabitha dives into the devils of the video game realm, Simone explains the demon Pazuzu and how Satanic Bay Area came to use him as a symbol for their most recent ritual, and Daniel takes a trip to conspiracy-land via the Denver airport.

Hunker in your bunker, because the apocalypse is on as we finish our Satanists Read the Bible series with Revelation and exvangelical writer Chrissy Stroop.
