About 9sense
9sense is a live weekly Satanic podcast hosted by Adam, a Satanist in the Church of Satan, exploring Satanism, current events, and modern culture through a sharp third-side perspective. Founded in 2011 (XLVI A.S.), the show breaks down Satanic philosophy in real-world practice, cultural trends, media, and controversial topics with intelligence, humor, and unapologetic honesty. Now in its 15th year, 9sense streams live every Sunday night, offering long-form discussion for viewers who want independent thought, critical analysis, and authentic Satanic commentary—without dogma, censorship, or compromise.
About the Church of Satan
The Church of Satan, founded in 1966 by Anton Szandor LaVey, is the first openly established Satanic religion in history. It is an atheistic, rational philosophy that uses Satan as a symbol of individualism, personal sovereignty, pride, and the unapologetic acceptance of humanity’s carnal nature. Rejecting superstition, external gods, and imposed guilt, the Church of Satan emphasizes self-responsibility, reason, and the pursuit of one’s own interests in the real world. Far from myths of evil or chaos, Satanism is about living authentically, embracing pleasure without shame, and standing against hypocrisy, herd mentality, and authoritarian belief systems.
Show Notes
Intro
Welcome to 9sense. 9sense is a Satanic perspective of our modern world. My name is Adam and it’s great to have you. It’s June 21st and I’ve got a hell-of-a show for you this week!
- Father’s Day
- Summer Solstice
Discussion
1. The Devil’s Advocate
- Letters From The Devil
- The Exploiter – October 23, 1970
- Grey magic
- LaVey is more white magic, not willing to harm animals
- Grey magic will if necessary
- I would not hesitate to use a human either
- Black magic is performed with a total disregard towards living entities
- White magic is performed with complete reverence for all living entities
- You seem to worship Pan, Cernunnor, Herne, or as he says Grey Tallus, not Satan
- What are your impressions of this symbol I sent you?
- Inventiveness and creativity are very important prerequisites for a successful magician.
- You are harboring delusions which prohibit your complete understanding of magic.
- You allowed yourself to become entrapped, limiting you
- There is no difference between white, black, grey, puce, or chartreuse!
- Magic is magic!
- You say it is a necessity to sacrifice an animal. I can see no possible reason for that.
- The energy which is produced is effected in the death throes.
- Bio-electrical force can be produced through human emotions
- Easiest through orgasm, anger, grief, etc.
- I would be okay with symbolic human sacrifice
- But if they are undeserving, they will be unharmed.
- If you try to curse them anyway, you prove you are not worthy of the name magician
- You would prove to be a murderer
- A symbolic sacrifice leaves it to the ‘powers that be’
- Magic does work if you are in control of you own life and in a rational position to evaluate them
- I am simply a magician, not white, black or grey
- Based in logical reasons
- Operating within nature
- You might term me a natural magician
- Do anything which is good or pleasurable to you, so long as it hurts no one else.
- If you are capable of changing situations and events in accordance with yout will, which, using normally available methods could not be accomplished, then you are a magician. If you cannot, you are not.
- If you cannot accomplish this without killing an innocent animal, then you are not a magician. You are just another self-deceitful dabler in a realm you have no qualification entering.
2. Infernal Informant
- Iran peace talks stumble over Trump’s threats to Tehran’s delegation
- https://www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/president-jd-vance-switzerland-iran-talks-trump-threatens-toll-rcna351033
- Vice President JD Vance held talks in Switzerland with Iranian officials Sunday as Tehran protested President Donald Trump’s recent comments potentially threatening the days-old peace.
- “The Iranian delegation has expressed its protest to the American side and is now reviewing appropriate response to Donald Trump’s recent verbal threats,” Iranian officials said through Iran’s semiofficial Tasnim news agency translated to English, adding that “any form of threat is considered a serious violation of the agreement.”
- It was unclear which of Trump’s statements they were referring to, however earlier Sunday Trump posted on Truth Social that “we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!” unless it stops “their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon,” referring to Hezbollah.
- And in a phone interview Sunday morning with Fox News, Trump said he spoke with the Iranians overnight, delivering a stark warning that if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. will “blow the s— out of them.”
- “You close it and you won’t have a country,” Fox News’ Trey Yingst reported the president’s telling him Sunday morning. “You won’t even make it back to your f—— country.”
- Told during the phone call that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran will maintain its right to enrich uranium, Yingst said, Trump responded that “he better watch his mouth” and “he better shape up or we’ll take over the rest of the country.”
- Trump described the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding as “just an option,” saying, “I can do whatever I want after that option.”
- Vance, joined at the negotiations by Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner, met with a senior Iranian delegation to discuss the technical details of a memorandum of understanding signed last week. Mediators from Qatar and Pakistan also joined the talks.
- The deal has already been tested by fighting between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon, which Iran signaled would be central to the talks. “The first mandate of the negotiating delegation in Switzerland is to end the aggression in Lebanon,” a spokesman for Iran’s presidential office said.
- Israel and Hezbollah have accused each other of violating a ceasefire in southern Lebanon with continued strikes, even as the Trump administration and Iran press for fighting to end.
- Iran said Saturday that it has once again closed the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway through which 20% of the world’s oil passes, alleging ceasefire violations by Israel. The U.S. military has denied Iran’s claim to control the strait.
- The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ navy warned ships not to approach the waterway, which Iran had committed to reopen under the interim peace deal.
- After initial talks Sunday, Vance told the media that “great” progress had been made toward a future “where everyone can work together to promote peace and prosperity.”
- A senior U.S. diplomat engaged in the negotiations said Sunday that they anticipated working through the night.
- “We’ve had robust discussions on all elements of the nuclear deal,” the official said. “We plan to continue working through each of these issues and using today’s work as a starting point for ongoing technical talks going forward.”
- Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian issued an unusual warning Sunday to unspecified voices in Iran pressing for a return to conflict.
- Continuing the war “is not in the interest of any individual or group,” he stressed, adding that if there are “internal rifts” in Tehran, “then there will be no need for Israel and America. We will destroy the country ourselves.”
- Amid uncertainty over whether the Strait of Hormuz is actually open, Trump said Saturday on Truth Social that there would be “NO TOLLS” on the strait during or after the current 60-day ceasefire, “unless they are imposed by and for the United States of America.”
- Trump added that the U.S. could charge tolls for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, referring to the U.S. as the “Guardian Angel” of the Middle East.
- Iran, through various officials and channels, has said the failure to implement the first clause of the memorandum of understanding means there is no agreement in effect.
- A violation of Article 1, which specified that fighting must end on all fronts, including Lebanon, “calls the entire agreement into question,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Saturday, warning that unless the other side immediately adopts the necessary measures, the memorandum as a whole will face serious difficulties.
- Israel killed at least 16 people in strikes in Lebanon on Saturday, according to the country’s Health Ministry, after strikes Friday killed 83. The surge in strikes followed Hezbollah attacks that killed four Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon.
- The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement Saturday said Hezbollah had breached the ceasefire and “launched more than 50 projectiles toward IDF soldiers operating in southern Lebanon” and that Israel had attacked what it described as Hezbollah targets in response. “The IDF remains committed to the ceasefire agreement,” the statement said.
- Hezbollah said it had adhered to the ceasefire, accusing Israel of making false claims to justify its attacks to “sabotage the agreement” between Iran and the U.S.
- Speaking to reporters before he boarded the plane to Switzerland, Vance said the situation in Lebanon had “calmed down” despite news reports and added: “I think we’re going to hopefully make progress on the nuclear issue, hopefully make progress on the Lebanon ceasefire issue. Those are the two big things that I think we’re going to be focused on.”
- The current agreement establishes toll-free travel through the strait for 60 days.
- Negotiations in Switzerland are also meant to resolve some of the thorniest issues in the deal that are yet to be agreed upon, including Iran’s nuclear program.
- According to the memorandum of understanding, Iran has reaffirmed a promise not to develop nuclear weapons — which it made under the Obama administration’s 2015 nuclear deal.
3. Creature Feature
- Silver Lake Trail
- https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/silver-lake-trail
- https://adampcampbell.com/june-hike-silver-lake-trail/
- 4.4mi Length
- 1,423ft Elevation gain
- 3–3.5hr Estimated time
- Out & back
- The Silver Lake Trail is an absolutely gorgeous hike that ends at Silver Lake with cliffs on one side and a panoramic view of the valley on the other. Seasonally, there are beautiful wildflowers throughout the hike and even wild strawberries! There are a handful of creek crossings on this route, so it is a good idea to pack water shoes.
- This route is not to be confused with another Silver Lake near Brighton. The Silver Lake at Brighton is in a protected watershed and does not allow dogs.
- The road to the trailhead requires a high-clearance 4WD vehicle.
