Lecture: Ritual as a Tool for Satanic Activism

There is magic in ritual. Not the magic of a pink crystal, but the tangible magic of manifestation. Ritual is a form of Satanic witchcraft rooted in the power of glamour, creativity, and creation. Through costume and shock, and brutal truth displayed ritual has the power to turn a desire for bodily autonomy into a reality that can’t be unseen. Glamour, or costume and performance, within Satanic ritual, makes it impossible to look away, through a bloody and naked queer orgy, a cloaked Black Mass in a metal bar, or a political protest beyond signs drawn on with a sharpie. Ritual brings out power our of the shadows. It unifies. It creates fear and respect for the disenfranchised. Performance is not simply a tool for those in power, it is a tool for those who intend on taking power, and are shameless in their intent to do so, as they understand shame to be only a tool to keep us void of pleasure and power.

Presented by LORE with speaker Sophie St. Thomas
