Our Fruits of Knowledge campaign is live and aims to challenge bigotry/fascism by increasing empathy - its settled science that reading books increases empathy so the campaign will help provide books to people. See helltraef.org/fruits... for more details #BookSky #Books #Reading #Empathy #Satanism

Background is from a medieval woodcut of Adam, Eve and Satan in the Garden of Eden, in the foreground is the 'fruits of knowledge' logo which is a large black book with the Helltraef logo on the cover and the text 'Fruits of Knowledge'.

Wē bēodaþ Sātanes gāst tō fultumne ūs on ūre strīde for frēodōme. We are in the return of the dark ages. Under the guise of tradition and religion, individual liberties are being attacked, and those who do not fit the mold are quickly losing their rights.
February is LGBTQIA+ history month in the UK. In light of this, we celebrate the courage it takes to live openly, the tenderness it takes to love honestly, and the fierce beauty of becoming who you truly are in a world that doesn’t always make it easy. Pride is not just about visibility—it’s about survival, joy, chosen family, and the right to exist without apology. To every LGBTQIA person: you are not a phase, a problem, or a debate. You are real, you are worthy, and you are loved. Hail Satan, hail yourselves.

We offer you The Rite of Self-Authorship - the rite marks a pause: to recognise how life can be shaped by inherited expectations and unchosen roles. It offers a threshold for those who wish to move on from them. Watch - and participate if you wish - here: youtu.be/iibvzZOTie8 #Satanism #Ritual #Self
Promo image for the Rite. Textured, burnt-style background with the Helltraef sigil and the same text as in the body of this post.

Art, literature, poetry, music are weather vanes for our times. variety.com/2026/film/ne... #Art #Movies #Books #BookSky #Reading #Music #Fascism #DelToro
Quote from Variety Online that reads: "Guillermo del Toro told the up-and-coming filmmakers to never listen when “people tell you art is not important,” because that is “always a prelude to fascism.” “Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Tommy Robinson and his far-right supporters have apparently flocked to Christianity (www.bbc.co.uk/news/a...). The church is at a loss to know what to think about it. We're not - fascists should be shamed and ostracised. Help us fight them. #Christianity #Fascism #Bigots
Image is of a distressed Union Jack hung vertically, with the middle bars resembling an inverted crucifix. The text reads "Now that the far right have found god, maybe you should consider taking the Left Hand Path."

The world feels like an ever darkening place for trans people. In the UK, where the majority of us are based - including our trans members - recent news states that 70% of trans people feel under attack from a hostile BBC https://maglit.me/bbc. #TransDayOfRemembrance
An individual holds a sing aloft at a protest in Manchester, UK which reads: "Trans rights are human rights"

We were caught out by the US tax system! As non US-ians, we're used to tax being included in displayed prices but we've realised our webshop provider does it the US way, so we've adjusted all our webshop prices downwards to compensate! helltraef-shop.fourthwall.com 100% profit is still donated!

Some people are puzzled about Satanism and what it means to us. In this episode we look at the prose, plays and poetry of the Romantic Satanism movement and how it inspired us: thedevilslibrary.libsyn.com/episode-65-t... #BookSky #Books #Reading #Satanism #Shelley #Byron #Blake #ParadiseLost #Milton

This Monday, we will announce and launch our first campaign. Follow us to not miss the details! #Satanism #Atheism #Empathy #Campaign #Antifascism
Background is of a robed, hooded figure carrying a staff with their back to the camera, striding through woodland. The text is a quote from Felix Pignal's anarchist pamphlet "The Philosophy of Defiance or A Pardon for Cain" and reads: "Give me any epithets you wish; I accept them all in advance. I have only one thought, and envision only one glory: it is to strike everywhere and always, as much as I can, at the principle of domination. Satan, in his revolt, is my father, and, in his courage, Cain is my brother!"
