The full Fall/Holiday 1995 'Sanctuary' catalog by Cher (1995)

Incredible mail-order catalog started by Cher in 1994; this is the 1995 edition. Unfortunately, it seems the venture ended after the 1995 issue. According to a 1998 article, this was due to mismanagement & order-fulfillment problems.

It's all bye 👋👋👋

1. It is known that all the Papas have an “expiration date". They either sign a time-limited contract with the Clergy (as in the case of Secondo), or the Clergy set time frames behind their backs (as in the case of Copia). Before the Third, all the Papas left their positions voluntarily. The group announced that they had failed in their mission and did not meet the requirements. Sister at the Summoning criticized them, after which they peacefully handed over the microphone to their successor. Copia also resigned voluntarily (or at least accepted the inevitable).

But with Terzo, everything was different. Not only was he demonstratively “arrested” on stage, but there was no public criticism from Sister. Instead, there was something else.

2. In 2016, Sister held the Summonings in which she criticized the Ghouls for their work. She scolded them for forgetting the essence of their mission and focusing too much on awards and “nods from the establishment.” This is a clear allusion to the Grammy. It's interesting, considering that the Grammy was subsequently a coveted prize for the group. Sister also praised Terzo and his Grammy win while flattering Nihil in Chapter 1 when she asked him about Copia's appointment. She presented the information in a way that was beneficial to her at the moment and didn’t hesitate to be two-faced.

So it's not about the Grammy. The point is that Sister was pressuring the Ghouls, trying to turn them against Papa. I can only draw one conclusion: the Third's influence was so great that Sister, this powerful woman, had to intimidate the band members and win them over to her side in order to oppose him. She promised the Ghouls “another chance at transformation” if they did what was expected of them. Interestingly, she spoke only vaguely about Papa, not daring to criticize him openly.

3. I also don't need to remind you about this scene.

4. The crisis of the Clergy was that Nihil had no heirs left and there was no one else to take on the role of Papa. The most logical thing would have been to leave Terzo in this position, to extend his contract, especially since he was doing well. How badly did they want to get rid of him that they were willing to replace him with old Nihil, who was so ill that he was clearly unable to perform properly on stage? Let me remind you that before the appearance of the secret heir (Copia), it was Nihil who was positioned as the new Papa (as evidenced by the smoke above the Sistine Chapel).

5. Copia first appeared in a short video in which he jealously humiliates Terzo and promises to trample him into the dirt. It is clear that Copia was part of the conspiracy from the very beginning and anticipated victory over the Third. His hatred for Terzo was personal. Maybe that's why he later appeared with Terzo's severed head in his hands?

6. It's interesting to read the group's Instagram from that time. In the third era, photos were posted there accompanied by random captions: apparently, it was run by Papa himself or his representative. On the day of the overthrow, a video appeared there without any caption, leaked by someone: it showed Papa being dragged off the stage. After that, all captions under the photos started to began with the standard formula: “We wish to inform you”. As we later learn from the chapters, this is a distinctive feature of Sister's messages.

All this is very reminiscent of a revolution and the seizure of the mass media.

Here’s my newest ghost themed battle jacket

When confronted with examples of Doug “Lucien Greaves” Misicko’s pattern of reactionary words and actions over the past two decades, usually, The Satanic Temple’s sycophants offer one of a small handful of stock excuses to deflect and otherwise resist actually dealing with it.

Their most recent tack has been “Lucien Greaves has changed! Actually, ‘The Satanic Temple is a church for imperfect people‘, which is why our religion is great!”— an excuse that exceeds parody but more seriously points to the dangers of what is now required of TSTers by way of loyalty.

And yet as we have said, “When it comes to The Satanic Temple, there’s always more and it’s always worse.”

Starting February 26, the admin(s) behind The.Satanic.Wiki began releasing more clips on Twitter and Kolektiva from audio and corrected transcripts of old Internet radio shows The Satanic Temple’s co-owner Doug Misicko used to make with his friend and longtime collaborator Shane Bugbee, primarily from the incomplete audio of a show called The ABCs of the Alphabet.

This was back when Misicko was using the pseudonym “Doug Mesner” rather than “Lucien Greaves” as he mostly does now.

These conversations—intended for public consumption!—are incredibly bad, but of course all context added to them makes them even worse.

We’ve censored the slurs below, but in the actual audio clips, they are presented as they were said at the time: in full and without obfuscation or shame.

The titles The Satanic Wiki gave them are fairly short, and it’s often difficult to describe fully all of what makes them terrible. For example, while Misicko is talking about arson and high school bullying, Bugbee plays the Nazi anthem along under Misicko’s story; how do you best emphasize and summarize that?

In any case, if you still have friends who are supportive or otherwise ignorant of The Satanic Temple, and they don’t want to read a long article about it, any of the below clips should encapsulate quickly why these people are not to be trusted.

Really though, I made a pattern for a paper 'angel' with Perpetua, because I thought it'd be cute :] And I wanted to share the file with ya'll in case anyone else wanted to print, cut, and make their own papercraft Perpetua!

Here's the link to the pdf, if you want it!

Materials you will require: a printer, scissors, tape

I recommend printing on thicker paper, if you have it available, but regular flimsy printer paper also works fine. I will note that I creased the sides of his shawl. as I think it helped the top portion keep shape. I've never done anything like this before, so apologies if he's a little imperfect :']
