The Satanic Scriptures
Peter H. Gilmore’s “Goat of Mendes”
Underworld Amusements is proud to release Peter H. Gilmore’s “Goat of Mendes” as its first fine art print. Close work with Magus Gilmore on all stages of production has been done to create an appropriate representation of his work. Kevin I. Slaughter has personally printed each canvas using a high-end large format giclee process and has hand cut the frames and assembled each final piece of this edition of 33. Each print is numbered and signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Painted in 1982, nearly two decades before he was to become High Priest of the Church of Satan, Peter H. Gilmore was morphing the occult illustration of Eliphas Levi into a truly Satanic figure. From transforming the wings into those of the Chiroptera, to replacing the merely representative phallus with an unabashed erect penis, Gilmore’s painting is fierce and carnal while evoking a powerful mythological effigy.
The image was used as an illustration for Magus Gilmore’s first book The Satanic Scriptures, published by Scapegoat Publishing in 2007. The limited hardback and slipcased editions features this image printed in full color on the case wraps, and all editions feature a black and white version on the first page of the book.
