| LOS ANGELES, CA - Three Southern California
Internet Satanic covens have agreed to join forces to organize a much needed live
Satanic coven for the area. The Syndicate of the Five Points, based
in the San Pedro/Long Beach/Torrance area, are already in the process of signing up
members. Raven Enterprises, Lucifer's Den, and The Ninth Covenant, the online covens organizing The Syndicate, are currently screening members to complete a nine-member council who will be  responsible for organizing and maintaining the coven. Clergyman
Behemoth (founder of Raven Enterprises), Reverend DenKeeper (founder of Lucifer's Den),
Randall Von Cole (Ninth Covenant co-founder), and Syn Holiday (also a Ninth Covenant
co-founder) make up the first four members of the council."Southern California is an area of the country where you would think there would be at least a few live covens for local Satanists to participate in," purports Syn Holiday. "Yet, as Satanists, we've been able to find not one legitimate organization." The Reverend DenKeeper further reveals, "Part of our plan includes a shop which will serve a dual purpose--a |
headquarter/meeting place for the coven and an occult items
shop." "We're getting a little tired of the online Satanic community." Clergyman Behemoth admits. "Although there are those sites which really add something to Satanism, most are just echoes of the next. The live coven is a way to go beyond all of it, where our interactions will become more personal." Randall Von Cole adds, "Yeah, there's just too many sites listing the Nine Satanic Statements, or arguing how Satanism isn't about sacrificing babies or worshipping a devil deity. They are important subjects, but there's no need for  every site to tiredly repeat it. Rather, move on to higher
things."The emerging coven's goal is to offer an avenue for like-minded Satanists to get together, exchange creative ideas, perform rituals, gain beneficial networking (to enhance personal success of members in the real world), help push the Satanic religion further, and have fun while they're at it by coordinating activities and group outings.
