Extract

After covering the historical issues of modern Satanism in the preceding sections, we now attend to the present. Satanism today is a bewildering chaos of texts, images, groups, participants, and spokespersons, especially in the online environment. Inspired by the research of Colin Campbell and Christopher Partridge, Jesper Aa. Petersen has suggested that we see the entire field through the metaphor of a milieu (Petersen 2011), connected on the one hand to satanic discourses and practices articulated by self-declared Satanists, and on the other hand to the wider field of contemporary ‘occulture’, including mainstream use of satanic imagery and mythology. In this sense, modern Satanism ceases to be one thing and becomes a lot of ways to imagine the satanic, from local informal groups over formal networks and published material to the existence of stereotypes in popular culture, all of which are interrelated and embedded in the wider context of late modernity. By focusing on the milieu as a whole, we can discover vectors of inspiration and more general dynamics as a supplement to traditional methods focused on single groups and analysis of texts.
