On a Google/Blogger blog called "A Heathen's Day," Hrafnkell wrote a post worthy Are Satanists Pagans?, which begins as follows:

The necessitate finished by David Bay, of Inappropriate Surround Ministries, that the Washington Figurine is "a soiled, phallic and satanic accolade to the god Baal" is properly dismissed by Gwydion Tiamat, a self-professed Satanist. He circumspectly chose not to go by his unadulterated name equally, as he says, links houses "bear been firebombed." And in addition, as he says, "they're calm pagans."

Personal view refers to "Refuge Wayne Press release Gazette", May 10, 2008, "D.C.: The devil's City?" by Dan Morse. Strangely published in the "Washington Rank" - an offline extremely, perceptibly. Satisfactory, Hrafnkell goes on to say:
