All Satan, all the time

Ave, I too belong to the Satanic Kindred, I am Rev. Darkone. This is regarding Stephania Doré, the subject of your Nov. 1 People ["Our lady of the diabolic"]. I live in the States and have known Stephania for as long as I have been in the group. She, like many of us, is serious about the Satanic religion. I myself have been a Satanist for 15 years and am an ordained minister through the Universal Life Church.

Stephania is a devout and very knowledgeable Satanist. She, like me, has an old soul and I have all the respect in the world for her. If anyone can help change the opinion of the Left Hand Path she can. I run an organization in Oregon called the Circle of Baphomet, an Oregon Grotto for Satanists. Rev. Matt Delucia runs the Dark Temple of Baphomet and my organization is a sister to his. Anyway, I just wanted to say that you couldn't have picked a better lady to profile. Hail Satan! Hail Thyself! Hail Baphomet!

--Rev. Rob Stone aka Darkone

Ave. I would like to say that I enjoyed the article about Stephania Doré, as it brought out the truth to the north about Satanism. Even though I think that Canadians are much more open to it that any other country in the world, most are not ready for it. They are not able to open their eyes and their ears to realize that Satanism is not bad or evil, but that it is the religion, philosophy and lifestyle that we choose to live. They would much rather be part of a collective, a Borg empire out of Star Trek if you will, as the creator of Star Trek saw Right Hand Path religion. This was how he came up with the "Borg," where all are connected to one mind and one objective: to assimilate.

We Satanists are merely individuals who have different views and opinions about different things in life in general, but all in all, we are intelligent one-minded human beings who put our pants on the same way every morning as everyone else. I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to interview Magistra Stephania and for getting the word out in a good way! I hope to see more articles on Satanism. As we are supporters of the FCOS (First Church of Satan), you might want to check out their site www.churchofsatan.org. We do not endorse or affiliate ourselves with the COS which is the Church of Satan, as it has changed quite drastically since Anton Szandor LaVey passed away in October '97.

--Rev. R. Fairhall

In regards to statements made in your People column about Satanism, I would like to clarify a few things. Stephania Doré and the "Satanic Kindred Organization" are not affiliated, "loosely" (as you stated) or otherwise with the Church of Satan. As a representative of the Church of Satan, I would appreciate it if you would retract that statement.

If you wish to interview actual members of the Church of Satan, I suggest that you contact the Church of Satan's media contact, Magistra Peggy Nadramia, who may put you in touch with Church of Satan representatives in your area. If you are interested in the Church of Satan, I suggest that you visit the official Church of Satan Web site at www.churchofsatan.com for more information.

Hail the Citizens of the Infernal Empire! Hail Satan!

--Reverend André Schlesinger, Cyberus, GM, Maninblack Grotto/Church of Satan/NYC

Wow, love the spotlight in your paper on that big-eyed, tattooed witch! Satan, take me now!

--Rob

You finally did an interesting piece. Bravo for bringing insight to Satanism. It's about time someone did! And bravo to The Infernal Circle and its enigmatic leader. Where can I sign up?

--Thelma Denatio

Ave, nice Satanic article. I hope that Stephania will be featured further. She is fascinating. Brilliant and beautiful. Dark is light.

--Annosv

All of us dark believers thank you for the great run on Stephania, Lady Diabolique! She is often seen around town and is a one of a kind satanic wonder! Hail the Mirror!
