Been awhile since I posted an update to GOS activities and whilst I’m not kidding myself that people hang on our every word or move, its a bit remiss of me/us.

So, first off, we have a new US Order, taking the total in America to three now. The new Order is called Free Society Satanists: GOS Resurgens. We don’t have any rules about what an Order calls itself as we’re not a big monolithic bureaucracy like some Satanist groups I can think of so they decided to use a kind of mashup of old and new. Internally we refer to them as FSS/GOSR as its less to type! They cover the Atlanta and general South area.

Next up, myself and my Swedish comrade Chantelouve of our Swedish Order Satanistiska samfundet did the first of our 2 hour shows (Contra Odium for Satan Not Hatin’) for Moshville Radio on Jan 2nd. Went well, got good numbers apparently. If you want to treat your ears to some non-problematic metal and alt music, DJ’d by one person who knows what they’re doing (Chantelouve) and one person who still hasn’t learnt to talk directly into the mic yet (me) you can listen to the show on Mixcloud. From now on we have a regular date/time of 17:00-19:00 (UK time) on the first Thursday of every month broadcast live on Moshville Radio and then uploaded to their Mixcloud page the following day.

Satan Not Hatin’ now has over 370 opt-in participants including bands, solo artists, record labels, promoters, venues and festivals, merch designers/sellers, zine writers and collectives.

Our UK Order has been asked to represent the Satan Not Hatin’ campaign at Depravation Fest '25 a UK music festival. We’ll be there to make sure people who might be part of marginalised communities feel welcomed and safe.

Our Seattle Order, House of Heretics completed the collection stage of their campaign to help their unhoused neighbours and have already been handing out tents, sleeping bags, toothbrushes, clean kits, warm socks etc amongst their community and our Pittsburgh Order GOS: Steel City are doing the same with their Baphomet Bags campaign.

GOSPod, our UK Orders podcast, have found a couple of our episodes removed by YouTube because we used phrases that their algorithms are unable to process. For example, we did an episode about the Satanic Panic/Satanic Conspiracies and at one point one of us mentioned old conspiracies getting a new lease of life via Covid denialism and we used the word ‘antivaxxer’ which was enough to get the episode taken down. Ridiculous. So anyway, we made the decision to not upload any episodes to YT that might get struck off. But we will be uploading all of them to our PeerTube channel where saner heads prevail.
