accused the other of heresies and spiritual indiscretions. The Ring of the
Nibelungen doth carry an everlasting curse, but only because those who seek it
think in terms of "Good" and "Evil" - themselves being at all times "Good". The
gods of the past have become as their own devils in order to live. Feebly, their
ministers play the devil's game to fill their tabernacles and pay the mortgages
on their temples. Alas, too long have they studied "righteousness", and poor and
incompetent devils they make. So they all join hands in "brotherly" unity, and
in their desperation go to Valhalla for their last great ecumenical council.
"Draweth near in the gloom the twilight of the gods." The ravens of night have
flown forth to summon Loki, who hath set Valhalla aflame with the searing
trident of the Inferno. The twilight is done. A glow of new light is borne out
of the night and Lucifer is risen, once more to proclaim: "This is the age of
Satan! Satan Rules the Earth!" The gods of the unjust are dead. This is the
morning of magic, and undefiled wisdom. The FLESH prevaileth and a great Church
shall be builded, consecrated in its name. No longer shall man's salvation be
dependent on his self-denial. And it will be known that the world of the flesh
and the living shall be the greatest preparation for any and all eternal
delights!

REGIE SATANAS!

AVE SATANAS!

HAIL SATAN!

THE NINE SATANIC STATEMENTS


1. Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence! 2. Satan represents
vital existence, instead of spiritual pipe dreams! 3. Satan represents
undefiled wisdom, instead of hypocritical self-deceit! 4. Satan represents
kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates! 5. Satan
represents vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek! 6. Satan represents
responsibility to the responsible, instead of concern for psychic vampires! 7.
Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse
than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his "divine spiritual and
intellectual development", has become the most vicious animal of all! 8. Satan
represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or
emotional gratification! 9. Satan has been the best friend the church has ever
had, as he has kept it in business all these years!

THE BOOK OF SATAN

THE INFERNAL DIATRIBE The first book of the Satanic Bible is not an attempt to
blaspheme as much as it is a statement of what might be termed "diabolical
indignation". The Devil has been attacked by the men of God relentlessly and
without reservation. Never has there been an opportunity, short of fiction, for
the Dark Prince to speak out in the same manner as the spokesmen of the Lord of
