I really enjoyed this podcast featuring the enigma that is Old Hag. I highly recommend setting aside an hour and giving it a listen if you would like a deeper insight into her life, art and beliefs.

Cleanse Yourself With Baphomet

I'm really rather taken with the Satanic bath and body products from Bizarro Au Go Go. I'm not overly bothered about their other offerings, but their sinful soaps, made with all natural vegan shea butter, and fragranced with high quality, hand blended, phthalate free essential and fragrance oils are irresistible.

Today I find myself lusting for the beautiful home accessories from Burk & Hare Co especially their hand poured, clean burning soy candles, most of which are inspired by the dark and curious.

I like to adorn my home in the weirdest kind of stuff...and if I had the cash to hand, I would be throwing it in the direction of Gloom Matter.
