its amazing what people dont know

I hope you are not referring to me, because I took the time to try to look up a meaning of what Black Mass meant and then asked if any RC's, Pagans or LHP followers could explain it to me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mass

In Christian tradition, Black Mass is the name given to a ceremony supposedly celebrated during the Sabbath, which was a parody of the Christian Mass. Its main objective was the profanation of the host, although there is no agreement among authors on how hosts were obtained or profaned; the most common idea is that they were profaned by means of some ritual related to sexual practices. Authors also disagree on which rites were performed during the ceremony.

Some scholars believed that the host was replaced by a toad, a turnip or a bit of dry flesh, but most judges and authors believed that true hosts were given by Christian priests that had made a diabolical pact to the attendants to the Sabbath to be profaned by them.
As it was believed that the culmination of this mass was an orgy, the term was later applied to a sexual orgy.
The Church of Satan occasionally stages Black Masses, not as an act of worship, but rather to quite deliberately shock the general public (especially Christians) and thereby draw media attention.
In Mystical Satanism it is the ultimate ritual to obtain magical powers. The altar is an exposed woman, whose vagina is the tabernacle. A host is added to the vagina, if possible a real host is obtained. While the host is added the ritual requires reciting distorted psalms, cursing Jesus and praising Satan. The woman is then defiled by the practitioner hoping to obtain magical energies from the ritual.


This defintley does not sound like the LHP members I have met. Here are some other websites that may help out.

the reason you couldnt find it is because true satanic worship is an extremely small religion, and there are hardly any in the world

True Satanic worship? You mean distortion of the Left-hand path. These people unfortuantley do much of this to shock and scare people (as the wikipedia article points out).

Danisty follows the Left-hand paths and I know she has nothing to do with this Black Mass and she also believes she is a true follower of her path.

No, actually I didn't. Most of the time I do not trust wikipedia, because just ANYONE can post there and it could be 'true'.
