Are They Talking About Us Again?
Todd writes: But perhaps the most interesting thing I learned was that Tibbie and a friend, when they were young, briefly ran a business selling blasphemously altered crucifixes as fashion accessories that grew in popularity so quickly, they basically had to shut the operation down for lack of management time/resources. And the best part of the story is that their business, Manic Satanic, was visited by an unpleasant, black-clad bald man who turned out to be an official representative of the local Church of Satan, come to make sure they weren’t using the Sigil of Baphomet on their accessories — not because this would violate ancient and powerful rules of black magic but because the Sigil is a registered trademark of the Church of Satan. Ah, capitalism!
Rusting_Wings writes: Counter-culture has become simply culture. How entirely depressing. The one refuge one has to be different is to subvert the subversion – be quietly strange. Even if it’s always the quiet ones, no one expects – yet – for the secretary with her bleach-blonde hair, immaculate suit, and tasteful jewelry to be a devotee of the Church of Satan. No one expects the butch dyke with the power tools to be a poet.

It will be about 7 feet high or so (the cross would be the highest point). I was researching the Church of Satan today as well and my personal favorite Rule of the Earth (out of the 11 Rules of the Earth, written by Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey) is ‘When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop, and if he does not, destroy him.’ That has nothing to do with this sculpture Idea though. Anyway, I don’t know what to make the big ass rock formation out of…
And someone with astounding taste in books poses this question. Thank you for the free promotion… much like this person.
