13 IS a Satanic number, in that it is associated with all things dark & mysterious, & inspires fear in the populace. It is considered an "unlucky number" by the masses, yet they do not know why. The dread of 13, or, "triskadictaphobia", is so entrenched in culture, that laborious efforts have been made to avoid any association with it whatsoever. Floors of buildings are spared the curse of 13. The number is skipped altogether. But like it or not, that's STILL the thirteenth floor!

The number 13 conjures up images of witches & black cats, & even death. It stimulates unexplained {unrealized} primal fears through subconscious saturation. The number thirteen represents the thirteen cycles of the moon, as deified by Hecate, Dark Goddess of Witchcraft & The Underworld. On the full moon, Hectite Witches would gather in the night in covens of thirteen, to work the Magic {the weakans of today attempt to replicate the ancient rites with their miserable little spells, but fail miserably in their neo-Amerind hippie-haze}.

By historic origins, the modern basis for the aura that surrounds Friday the 13th stems from Friday October the 13th, 1307. On this date, the Pope of the church in Rome in Conjunction with the King of France, carried out a secret death warrant against The Knights Templar. The Templars were terminated as heretics, never again to hold the power that they had held for so long. The Grand Master, Jacques DeMolay, was arrested and before he was killed, was tortured and crucified.

Friday The Thirteenth is the day when people would rather stay in their holes, instead of having to face the evil this day would bring them. For they have created this curse for themselves.

Haunted Houses are often portrayed as having thirteenth in their address, such as "1313 Mockingbird Lane". Johnny Cash sings about the number thirteen in the album, "American Recordings", {"Thirteen" written by Glen Danzig}. Such an American musical icon crooning of it is testament to its pervasiveness. The number thirteen is synonymous with fear. It is the patron number of Shadowmancy. As Satanists, it is wise to utilize this powerful tool to its fullest potential.

6. The Legend of Haunted Devil's Canyon 6. The Legend of Devil Lake 6. Devil's Gate 13. Bloodthorn Manor

Fantasy & reality are blurred in these shadowy dimensions, where the nightmares of your mind project onto reality, creating a world of invigorating terror! No turning back!

"If one can pull aside the curtain of fear and enter The Kingdom of Shadows, the eyes will soon become accustomed and many strange and wonderful truths will be seen." - Anton Szandor LaVey, The Satanic Rituals.
