Satansplain #080 - The Satanic Rituals (part 1 of 3)
In 1972, Anton Szandor LaVey released The Satanic Rituals, the companion book to The Satanic Bible. Yet it seems to be the one book of LaVey's which Satanists often pay the least attention to. Satansplain presents a 3-episode exploration of The Satanic Rituals. Part 1 starts with a preliminary debunking of common Satanic ritual misconceptions, an overview of the "whys" and "hows" of Satanic ritual, some history on the book itself, an initial peek into the book's contents, and a look at the general underlying human urge for ritual. https://satansplain.com https://satansplain.locals.com/support 00:00 - Intro 03:49 - Reminder: Satanism is not Inverted Christianity 09:18 - Humans dig ritual / Annoying Questions We Get 13:18 - Explaining metaphors to the idiots who still don't get it 20:13 - Excerpt from "The Rite Stuff" 22:04 - Infernal Names, John's Letter 28:09 - The Satanic Rituals: About Publishing 31:17 - Reminder: Don't Die a Group Ritual Virgin 34:50 - The Satanic Rituals: Release
