ADVERSUS #6
July 2019
​
Newly-resurrected with a broader focus on contemporary Satanism, the first 2019 issue of ADVERSUS includes interviews with the gang of BLACK MASS APPEAL and the leaders of esoteric coven SATANHAUS! Also includes articles on Satanism in the public eye, and the notorious BZNRT phenomenon.
THE BLACK MASS
October 2018
​
The full transcript of the Black Mass performed by members of Satanic Philadelphia and The Satanic Temple in Philadelphia on October 12, 2018. Includes an introduction and annotations.
ADVERSUS #5
August 2018
​
Or more appropriately "The Bumper Baphomet Commemorative Edition", with coverage of the recent high profile Interfaith rally in Little Rock, Arkansas. This issue also includes an interview with the leaders of Satanic Arkansas and a look at Satanic pseudonyms.
ADVERSUS #4
April-May 2018
​
In the fourth issue of ADVERSUS, we head over the Atlantic to find out what European chapters and TST-affiliated groups are up to. To this end, we interview Cain Abaddon and Zeke Apollyon of TST UK for their thoughts and experiences. In addition, we revisit the Arkansas monument battle, attempted sabotage of a TST charity drive, and the adoption of a popular Californian beach by local Satanists. Plus more!
ADVERSUS #3
February-March 2018
​
In the third issue of ADVERSUS, we take a look back at the recently-departed Jex Blackmore's time and campaigns with the Satanic Temple as she now sets off to follow her own personal objectives. Also in this release, we cover the Grey Faction's activities at this year's ISSTD annual conference in Chicago and TST Arizona's ongoing battle for religious representation with its recent lawsuit against Scottsdale City Council.
ADVERSUS #2
January 2018
​
One of the most common questions asked in TST social media is "how do I start a chapter?". The second issue of ADVERSUS will attempt to address that question by looking into how unofficial groups initially form and then eventually grow and evolve into potentially recognized chapters of The Satanic Temple. We'll be approaching members of both unofficial groups and established chapters to share their experiences of the journey and why they feel Satanic community is important in a religion traditionally embraced by loners and individualists.
ADVERSUS #1
December 2017
​
The debut issue of ADVERSUS takes a look back at the numerous activities that The Satanic Temple engaged in over the past twelve months, including battles in Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas against Christian theocratic overreach and oppression. The issue also looks at the state of the After School Satan program, a fight in Colorado over cakes, Satanic council invocations, the appeal of TST to the LGBTQ community, the activities of the Grey Faction, and how Satanists like to kick back and party at numerous annual fundraiser events.
​
Also included are the new Community Pages which provide listings for all known (and current) official Satanic Temple chapters and unofficial support groups, formerly documented in the now-defunct TST Groups Directory.
TST UNOFFICIAL GROUP DIRECTORY
October 2017 (Discontinued)
​
The final release of the TST Unofficial Group Directory in October. Although it proved a valuable resource in its own right, managing it as a separate release to the incoming ADVERSUS was not desirable. Consequently, the group listings that were the focus of this work have now been condensed and integrated into the Community Pages in the new publication. This standalone work is no longer being maintained.
