✦ A Call to the Kind-Hearted ✦
Since the dark moon of early 2008, darkbooks.org has endured as a sanctuary for those who seek forbidden knowledge and sacred fire. I give freely of my time to keep this library breathing — but time, like flame, is not without its fuel.
The keeping of this archive, the tending of the digital hearth, and the answering of messages from kindred spirits — all these I do between the labors of earthly survival. My days are divided between devotion and the demands of coin, for the mortal world does not pay in candles and dreams.
Should you find it within your heart to make a contribution, know that your gift lightens my burden and lengthens the hours I may spend among the tomes. Even the smallest coin, placed upon the altar of this work, helps keep the servers breathing and the gates open.
Let this work endure.
Let the library grow.
Let knowledge remain free as fire and as ancient as bone.
The Black Flame is a magazine published by the Church of Satan. It was begun in 1989, when the other Church of Satan magazine, The Cloven Hoof, went on hiatus. Originally, The Black Flame was a quarterly newsletter, but it then evolved into a bi-annual publication.
In recent years, publication of The Black Flame seems to have been halted, with issue #16 (the "Music and Art Interview Issue") the most-recently published. An announcement has been made that further issues will be released as journals, with extensive essays and articles, as opposed to interviews. There is currently no set release date for issue #17, but rather a statement from the Church of Satan that "it will be released when we have enough material to justify publication."
About Author:
The expression various authors, abbreviated with the acronym Aa.Vv., is rarely used in English except by non-native speakers, who look for an exact equivalent to similar terms (usually abbreviated Vv.Aa.) in Italian, Spanish, and some other languages. In English it is much more common to describe the authors of such a compilation collectively, for example by saying for what occasion the texts were written or by naming one writer, for example the first one in the alphabet, and then adding et al.. The expansion of the acronym is the Latin expression auctores varii.
