Walpurgisnacht 2009
Thursday, April 30th, 2009
In March Opus Diaboli was set to be relaunched with more content, more campaigns, and more well… everything.
A serious computer crash caused the permanent loss of the news design, the content, photographs… you get the picture.
This fatal hard disk crash, distressing as it was, has been a timely reminder that the internet is not real life. Writing on bulletin boards, websites and blogs is writing in sand.
A failed server, a capricious website owner, or an ISP under pressure from religious fundamentalists could delete you life’s work in a second.
And, in any event, what does all this online preaching to the choir do to achieve the goal of a Satanic planet?
The purpose of Satanism is to lead a life according to Satanic values. Spending your life in a darkened room hammering at a keyboard, when the sun is shining, doesn’t seem like a life of Satanic indulgence.
Over the coming months, therefore, expect Opus Diaboli to do less, but to do it better.
On a lighter note, one of our campaigns has gone ‘above ground’ and will not be mentioned here again, but I would invite all readers to take part in the new Lairspace Project to inspire others in creating their own special place for ritual or meditation.
