The Satanic Bible Anton Szandor Lavey
Called “The Black Pope” by many of his followers, Anton LaVey began the road to High Priesthood of the Church of Satan when he was only 16 years old and an organ player in a carnival: “On Saturday night I would see men lusting after half‐naked girls dancing at the carnival, and on Sunday morning when I was playing the organ for tent‐show evangelists at the other end of the carnival lot, I would see these same men sitting in the pews with their wives and children, asking God to forgive them and purge them of carnal desires. And the next Saturday night they’d be back at the carnival or some other place of indulgence. “I knew then that the Christian Church thrives on hypocrisy, and that man’s carnal nature will out!” From that time early in his life his path was clear. Finally, on the last night of April, 1966– Walpurgisnacht, the most important festival of the believers in witchcraft–LaVey shaved his head in the tradition of ancient executioners and announced the formation of The Church Of Satan. He had seen the need for a church that would recapture man’s body and his carnal desires as objects of celebration. “Since worship of fleshly things produces pleasure,” he said, “there would then be a temple of glorious indulgence. .” The Satanic Bible Anton Szandor LaVey For Diane Dedications To: Bernadino Logara, who knew the value of money Karl Haushofer, a teacher without a classroom Rasputin, who knew the magic of a child Sir Basil Zaharoff, a gentleman Cagliostro, a rogue Barnabas Saul, the link with Mount Lalesh Ragnar Redbeard, whose might is right William Mortensen, who looked . -
CLARK ASHTON SMITH Genius Loci
The Library of America • Story of the Week Excerpt from American Fantastic Tales: Terror and the Uncanny from Poe to the Pulps (The Library of America, )''0), pages -/( –-0.. © )''0 Literary Classics of the U.S., Inc. Originally appeared in Weird Tales (June (0**). Reprinted in Genius Loci and Other Tales ((0+,). CLARK ASHTON SMITH (1893–1961 ) Genius Loci “It is a very strange place,” said Amberville, “but I scarcely know how to convey the impression it made upon me. It will all sound so simple and ordinary. There is nothing but a sedgy meadow, surrounded on three sides by slopes of yellow pine. A dreary little stream flows in from the open end, to lose itself in a cul-de-sac of cat-tails and boggy ground. The stream, run - ning slowly and more slowly, forms a stagnant pool of some extent, from which several sickly- looking alders seem to fling themselves backward, as if unwilling to approach it. A dead willow leans above the pool, tangling its wan, skeleton-like re - flection with the green scum that mottles the water. There are no blackbirds, no kildees, no dragon-flies even, such as one usually finds in a place of that sort. It is all silent and desolate. The spot is evil— it is unholy in a way that I simply can’t de - scribe. I was compelled to make a drawing of it, almost against my will, since anything so outré is hardly in my line. In fact, I made two drawings. I’ll show them to you, if you like.” Since I had a high opinion of Amberville’s artistic abilities, and had long considered him one of the foremost landscape painters of his generation, I was naturally eager to see the drawings. -

African American Heritage Trail Washington, DC Dear Washingtonians and Visitors
African American Heritage Trail Washington, DC Dear Washingtonians and Visitors, Welcome to the African American Heritage Trail for Washington, DC! It is my honor to present this latest edition of the guide to the inspiring history of African Americans in this world-class city. From Benjamin Banneker’s essential role in the survey of the District in 1791, to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial in 1963 and beyond, African Americans have made DC a capital of activism and culture. John H. Fleet, a physician, teacher, and abolitionist, called Georgetown home. Ralph J. Bunche, a professor, United Nations negotiator, and Nobel Peace Prize recipi- ent settled in Brookland. Anthony Bowen, an abolitionist, community leader, and Underground Railroad conductor changed the world from a modest home in Southwest. Washington is where advisor to U.S. presidents Mary McLeod Bethune, activist A. Phillip Randolph, poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, and visual artist Lois Mailou Jones all lived and made their careers. On the African American Heritage Trail, you’ll see important sites in the lives of each of these remarkable people. You’ll also encounter U Street, long a hub for African American theater and music; Howard University, the flagship of African American higher education; and Anacostia, a historic black suburb once home to Frederick Douglass. Alongside these paragons of American history and culture, generations of African Americans from all walks of life built strong communities, churches, businesses, Front cover: Esquisse for Ode to Kinshasa by Lois Mailou Jones, and other institutions that have made DC the vital city Museum of Women in the Arts; George E.C. -
