Parisian Satanism and Berthe de Courrière

Hello everyone,
I have written a new article on Berthe de Courrière, the partner of Remy de Gourmont and inspiration for Sixtine, Le Fantome, and most famously the main inspiration for Madame Chantelouve in La Bas. She was a fascinating demimondaine. I hope you enjoy this article, its the start of a larger series of 3 articles on the "Satanic Feminists of Bohemian Paris."

Very interesting, thanks Madeleine.

Excellent! - I had no idea this was yours; I spread it all over a certain social media site yesterday. More, please.

1. Saw this at the "Rare Occult Books" group on FB. Great article! Thank you!

Thanks everyone, I am so pleased you all enjoyed it! I wil share part 2 when its complete.

Cheers!
Madeleine

Fascinating. Looking forward to pt.2!

A little levity to the Boschian horrorshow of Election 2016:

According to Lucien Greaves, spokesman for The Satanic Temple:

Cruz’s failures of reason, compassion, decency, and humanity are products of his Christian pandering, if not an actual Christian faith. It grows tedious when pedophile priests and loathsome politicians are conveniently dismissed as Satanic, even as they spew biblical verse and prostrate themselves before the cross, recruiting the Christian faithful. Satanists will have nothing to do with any of them.

Glad to see the craft of invective is still alive and put to good use.

Thanks for link! Fascinating article. Appreciate the background on La Bas - a favorite novel!

>5 LiminalSister: How is part 2 coming along, Madeline? I'm sure I'm not the only one waiting agog with anticipation!

Exciting news. There is a new dossier devoted to the life and writings of Berthe de Courriere on the centennial year of her death. The journal features her writings, photographs, sketches, and an article by me on the life of Berthe translated by Thierry Gillyboeuf. If you want to get a copy:
