The latest episode of GOSPod is out. It's also on YouTube and PeerTube as well as the usual places - Spotify, Amazon etc.
In this episode we talk about the campaigns we've done in the past as well as our current campaigns and some ideas for the future.
We're thrilled to announce our latest Order - and second in the USA - House of Heretics: Global Order of Satan Seattle.
Our second Order in the USA, House Of Heretics was established in early 2023 in Seattle, Washington. House of Heretics is registered and licensed by the State of Washington as a non-profit church, and serves the Pacific Northwest region.

Satanists come from a range of eclectic backgrounds with many of us coming from the various alt music scenes – rock, metal, punk, goth, industrial and more. Our love of these scenes, along with the bands, venues and organisations that exist within them, intertwines with our Satanism, often embracing the same themes, imagery and symbolism.
Sadly, we are noticing a rise in hatred and bigotry in the music scenes we hold dear. We’ve witnessed racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other hate crimes. We’ve seen the symbols we use co-opted into messages of hate. People have been made to feel shamed and unwelcome in what were once open and inclusive communities.
No more. This is where we start to reclaim these spaces.
We have therefore relaunched the Satan Not Hatin’ campaign to combat this rise and are thrilled to have been joined by a number of bands, orgs and venues from those scenes.
We are excited to share that we can be found at Pittsburgh Pride this Friday (2-8) and Saturday (11-8)! We can be found on the map as SR 26, and will be on Sylvia Rivera St! We will be performing unbaptism rituals, selling merch (stickers, pins, and satanic rosaries), and collecting items for our Baphomet Bags project! We would love to see you there!
Episode Two of our Podcast is now live, the subject is Satanic Safety. We don't use pseudonyms to be edgy. Identifying as a Satanist carries real risk. We interview a few people to hear their experiences.
As well as Podbean, the episode is on PeerTube, YouTube, Spotify, Amazon etc.
There's also a YouTube version without ambient background music for those with sensory processing issues or who just find it distracting. YouTube videos will also be available on Invidious and Piped.
Our UK Order will be in London at the Satanic Flea Market on Sunday June 30th. Come along and say ‘hi’!
The Market is in Torrens Street, the nearest tube is Angel. It starts at 12pm and ends at 6pm, entry is £4 per person.
An announcement from our UK Order:
"Whilst we never usually share details of our membership, we will make an exception in this case. Please welcome our two newest members, Fleur (left) and Flo (right)."
The only way this story could be more American was if it had been a child dolphin, in a public school.
Maybe not right now, but when shareholders start demanding action over NSFW subs or subs that discuss illegal activities or subs that discuss the evils of capitalism or subs that just aren't profitable and those subs start getting shuttered, then they will.
Outsmarting Piers Morgan is about as difficult as obeying gravity.
I'm not American but what's happening in the US and what will happen when/if Trump gets re-elected definitely worries me. It's difficult not to sound overly dramatic or hyperbolic about the situation but it really does feel like the US is uncomfortably close right now to a christofascist state. And if you just rolled your eyes at that word, take a look at who's currently second in line to the US presidency.
If Trump does win, I really fear for American democracy. Do you really think a man who encouraged an armed insurrection to support a subversion of an election will pause to think twice about removing the few rights large sections of America currently have? And if the process prevents him, do you think he'd think twice about dismantling the process? At gun point if necessary?
Before you get annoyed with Foster over a cherry picked BBC article, read the much more in depth Guardian piece they lifted quotes from. It'll give you much more context.
Today in bizzaroworld, asking for context demonstrates bias and unfounded opinion.
It's dystopian shit like this that is beginning to make me despair of what my country will be in 10 years time.
The passing of the online safety bill, this sort of shit, the recent legislation making it more and more difficult to protest anything, the massive expansion of facial recognition cameras everywhere. We're on the edge of a bad period I think.
The code on the card is covered so Amazon might know you use Mullvad but they have no way of knowing what your account is.
Mullvad know your acct but they have no way of knowing how it is you paid other than maybe it being a scratchcard which they don't track anyway.
Didn't really have a choice:
...Regrettably individuals have frequently used this feature to host undesirable content and malicious services from ports that are forwarded from our VPN servers. This has led to law enforcement contacting us, our IPs getting blacklisted, and hosting providers cancelling us.
Big issue there is hosting providers cancelling them. Can't operate a business without that.
They won't need to. Signal, WhatsApp, Session and iMessage (Apple) have already said they'll withdraw their products from the UK market. Meta are making similar noises regarding Facebook Messenger.
Dear Earth, apart from the many terrible things we have done historically, we, the British, are most recently sorry for David Icke, Andrew Wakefield and now Graham Hancock. We have tried to balance this out but one David Attenborough only goes so far.
