I'd firstly like to give you a chance to say anything you may regarding Anton LaVey's death of October 29th, 1997.

It was a sad day to see such an important comrade pass away, but his time had come. He lived his life to the fullest and helped to create a powerful movement called Modern Day Satanism. His presence will be missed, but his legacy will live on in all of *us* who follow the Left Hand Path. He was a man I truly respected and admired.

Zeena LaVey claimed to Bob Larson that she caused Anton LaVey's death via a curse. I realize she is not someone looked upon well by the Church of Satan. Any thoughts on her or her claims?

She's not even worth talking about. Zeena, her husband, Michael Aquino and the Temple of Set are all worthless jealous parasites that have to make up this lie about cursing Anton LaVey just so they can get some media attention. I don't know any of these people personally, but lets just say I'm not afraid about having a curse put on me. They are all pathetic jokes.

I am sure you are familiar with the recent "Mansonite" Phenomenon. From as far as I can see Satanism is becoming flooded with neophytes and people who are inherently nothing more than sheep following what seems to have become almost a new trend. Any thoughts regarding "Mansonites" or Marilyn Manson himself?

Marilyn Manson is a pied piper in many ways. he has tons of drones that want to be his slave. I personally don't have any problem with him using the weak minded to enhance his career. As LaVey once said "It's better to be used than useless", and most of these drones are just that. I may not agree with some of the topics Manson promotes, but I do respect him as a master manipulator. You never know, maybe some of these people who enjoy his music will evolve to a higher plane of realism. So in my opinion Marilyn Manson is being truly Satanic by being a puppeteer to those who want something to slave for.

Do you believe simply agreeing with the Satanic Bible makes one a Satanist(in the LaVeyan sense), or does it take something more?

it is not only agreeing with it, it is also applying it within one's own life. those who are Satanic are at a higher state of evolution, due to the fact that we live by the true laws of nature. A Satanist is born, not made.

There are other Satanic Organizations who move towards a physis and evolution of the human existence(on an individual level). They may see Satanism as a particular path to a greater state of Character and Will via both practical and magickal experience. The Church of Satan seems to be more a philosophical organization rather than an evolutionary organization. Do you personally feel it's important to realize the potential of the individual and undertake harsh challenges in order to evolve further?

I wouldn't agree with that statement. The Church of Satan is much more than a philosophical organization. many don't know the evolutionary application that is within the inner circles. And I do think an individual should strive to evolve beyond his/her own limits to advance the self. Many of these traits will latter be passed to one's offspring, which heightens the quality of man.

The Church of Satan takes the stance of "Adversary" to Christianized Society and Values. Do you feel rebellion to be what Satanism is about, or do you see it as just one step in furthering yourself as an individual? Rebellion is necessary in distancing oneself from the moral crutches of Society, but I feel it's but a first step in coming to your own conclusions as an independent individual. would you agree or do you feel the essence of Satanism is being *against* christian moral structures?

It is really both. In most societies, Christianity is an active institution. it is up to us to break the chains of this Holy Plague and discover our true selves as gods. But "Satan" is used as an Archetype due to his mass popularity in today's world. We also reject other religions such as Buddhism, Muslims, etc. Satanism is more of an un-religion religion that brings one closer to the self and the darkside.

Many times American Satanists come under fire by European Satanists as dwelling on being Anti-Christian, not being able to ultimately distance themselves from christianity, and thus are limiting themselves by being preoccupied with the "alter-ego" to Christianity. These people may not see a cultural difference, being that in the United States much of our "laws" are effected by the lobbying of the Christian Coalition(with supposedly 30,000,000 Members) and other Christian run organizations. In addition to the effect they have on the things that ultimately effect us, Why do you feel it is important in America to be outspoken against Christianity? Do you think a "War" against Christianity, and eventual abolishment thereof, is really a feasible goal?

A while ago, when I disbanded the Order of the Evil Eye, I thought our energy was being wasted on battling these pests. But they came back in full force, so my views have changed. America *must* fight Christianity to embrace the creed of "Freedom of Religion". Lets face it, the USA is run by a bunch of God fearing assholes who want to force their views on us. Fuck that, we need to stand proud and defend our freedom. As for the European Satanist, they have just as much of a problem as us. Just go to Europe and ask what the main belief system there is. I guarantee it is Christianity. So fuck all these assholes who think they know it all. If someone doesn't feel a need to destroy Christianity, that's fine, it is their own opinion. My opinion is to wipe it off the face of the planet! I will never submit to this warped jewish religion!

Is there a difference in your eyes, between someone who is a Satanist and someone who is only Anti-Christian? if so, what?

Yes, Satanism is much deeper than being just Anti-Christian. It is a philosophical and magical way of living your life. That's the problem with a lot of people, they don't see the true depth of Satanism. But that's Ok because it is not for all people.

Do you have personal views that may be seen as Unsatanic by others?

I think everything I project is Satanic. It may be extreme to some, but it is still Satanic.

What does the title Magister mean to you?

Magister is being a part of the hierarchy and a representative for the movement. I was made a member by Dr. LaVey in the early days of Acheron. Later Dr. LaVey made me a priest and then later a Magister. this is a title that is given to those who have applied Satanism within their own life and have made a contribution from their work. it is a title of respect from a true mentor.

As an Organization how do you feel the Church of Satan benefits a member? Most information and contacts regarding the Church of Satan seem to be external and readily available to any non-member. Do you see membership in the Church of Satan as simply a show of support for the "Satanic Cause" or as something ultimately benefiting the member?

That depends on the member. If you are only looking to get a membership card, then you are indeed just supporting the Satanic cause. but those who become members to become more involved are then taken to the other levels. If you need the Church of Satan to give you the answers, you are then not really a Satanist. The C.O.S. is a think tank, not a shelter for the sheep.

More and more people seem to be running around saying "I am my own god". Do you feel not acknowledging anything "higher" makes one a god? Or do you think Pride deserves a foundation of personal achievement and the ability to overcome goals and challenges? It seems to me there are many people who seem to grasp a false sense of pride because there no other way for them to feel good about themselves, and ultimately guilty of grasping onto "pipe dreams" just as much as any Christian.

I am my own god due to the fact that *I* am the master of my own destiny. Yes, some people use this saying as a crutch, but some of us really have a reason for saying it. Satanists are their own gods!

Your involved heavily in the Death and Black Metal scene with your band Acheron. Do you feel disgusted with some so-called "Satanic" bands do to their lack of intelligence regarding Satanism and the Occult? Anyone specific?

Yes and No. Yes, it does annoy me to see some bands use Satanic imagery without knowing what it really means, but it is not worth getting pissed off about. Those who know what real Satanism is will seek the real things.

Any Satanists outside of the Music Scene you are particularly disgusted with, and why?

Of course, but I won't get on my soap box and acknowledge them for the shits they are. Why promote these pathetic little fucks and mention their names.
