Radio Werewolf

​Zeena Schreck is the gorgeous daughter of Satanic leader Anton LaVey, who wrote the infamous occultist rule book The Satanic Bible. Growing up in her Satanic family was not as wild as everyone may think, except that her parents stayed up all night and slept until five in the evening. Her adopted uncle, Kenneth Anger, usually picked her up as a girl to take her for walks around San Francisco’s, Union Square. Zeena eventually turned away from running the Church of Satan to become a Buddhist and live in Europe, but she took aspects of her teachings and made music that is purely evil.

Radio Werewolf is one of the coolest bands you probably never heard of. It’s a dark trip on to the set of a vintage horror movie. You will be transported to another realm by the ambient sounds of “Against Time,” off the 1989 album The Lightening And The Sun.

Zeena’s version of Nancy Sinatra’s, “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’,” features a World War II-esque sample sound of marching boots to kick it off the song followed by a deep bass line reminiscent of Nilsson’s “Jump Into The Fire.” Zeena seduces with sultry vocals and smacks a bit of German into the middle of the tune. Unfortunately, it’s very hard to find Radio Werewolf albums anywhere but on Youtube. The compilation album, The Vinyl Solution, (get it) may be the easiest album to find, as it was released in 2013.

Afterword by Zeena:

Repost from:
"​Stanley Gemmell's Poetry, Musings, Selections and Apologies... Enjoy! "

Formed during the height of “Satanic Panic” hysteria in mid-80's America, Radio Werewolf was once considered “the most dangerous band in the world”, largely due to the notoriety of their vocalist, Zeena Schreck. 

"The Berlin-based interdisciplinary artist, who goes by the single name Zeena, is a practicing Tibetan Buddhist yogini in the Drikung, Karma Kagyu and Nyingma lineages. She practiced and taught magic and meditation for over 30 years. Zeena is the Hemet-neter Tepi Seth of the Sethian Liberation Movement. Biographical info about Zeena can be found at Daily Offbeat."

Khajuraho Temple, India

Vedic left-hand path Tantrikas place great emphasis on the vaginal

secretions of the female, ingesting them as the pure distillation of feminine

energy in rites venerating the shakti's vulva. This fluid, called amrita, or "elixir

of immortality" is sometimes believed to be vitalized with magical properties

transformative of human consciousness, an agent quickening the process of

Kundalini, the awakening of the Feminine Daemonic in the male. The female

amrita consumed in left-hand path sexual rites is considered most powerful in

shakti at the time of menstruation, a fact which has sometimes been compared

to the elusive "ruby elixir" referred to in Western alchemical texts as a

medicine for the soul. Erotic statuary in India's celebrated Khajuraho Temple

depicts scenes of ritual cunnilingus that indicate a strong left-hand path

influence. In the Chinese sex-magical tradition, the orgasmic flow of the

female partner's Bartholin's gland fluid was also thought to be a substance rich

with yin, the feminine life-force potable in a physical libation granting

immortality.

In both the Taoist and Tantric traditions, great emphasis is placed on

the necessity of absorbing the sexual secretion only from consorts

demonstrating obvious physical health and vitality. Illness is said to nullify or

even poison the effects of the amrita upon the adept.

Even within the sometimes austere constrictions of the Islamic world,

home to an ancient magical heritage, decidedly left-hand path sex-magical

traditions continue to be practiced by Muslim magicians. Often these involve

the use of sexual secretions and menstrual blood as sorcerous agents, as in the

societally disreputable but fairly common utilization of sihr sufli, which has

sometimes been described as a form of Arabic black magic. Such rites require

that the sorcerer performs a prolonged act of copulation with a female – as is

often the case in the Tantric Vama Marga, the sorcerer's consort must not be

married to him. It is also considered preferable if the woman is menstruating, a

condition every bit as much of a taboo within Islam as it is in Hindu culture.

At the completion of the act, the mingled semen, feminine secretions, and

blood are carefully permeated into an absorbent piece of fabric. The erotically

charged fabric is then ritually burnt, whilst the sorcerer calls upon one of the

djinn – the demons of Arabic sorcery – to act in his stead in the daemonic

realm. This rite, which draws on the veiled, repressed power of the Feminine

Daemonic surging beneath the outwardly male-oriented surface of Arab life,

is of course considered a defilement by orthodox Islam. As with all left-hand

path procedures, it is the taboo-breaking nature of the activity that endows

this kind of sexual sorcery with its force.


The Aghori's preferred initiatrix in sexual congress is a menstruating

woman of the "untouchable" lower caste, whose menstrual blood mingled

with his own semen is sometimes consumed at the conclusion of the rite.

This Aghori practice has a secular analogue in a modern Western "sect"

dedicated to taboo-transgression; a well-known rite of initiation for the Hell's

Angels motorcycle club decrees that the Angel must "earn his wings" by

performing cunnilingus on a menstruating woman.
