Nazi-Satanism is just one of the many outlandish things talked about in connection with modern Satanism. Although the vast majority of Satanists reject National Socialism, a minority have embraced it, and others explicitly welcome neo-Nazis into their ranks.

This talk will focus on the role of members of the Church of Satan in facilitating the creation and dissemination of neo-Nazi terrorist ideologue James Mason’s “Siege.” This book is the animating text behind a new wave of neo-Nazi terrorists, like the Atomwaffen Division, the Order of Nine Angles, and other Nazi-Satanist groups.
