Weekday archive… for the lovers of occult history! Original 1975 Anton LaVey Letter to Reverend Pierre P. Raguet. Original Church of Satan – Anton LaVey Envelope and Letterhead. Not only is this information fascinating but it’s in very nice condition. The letter was sent during a significant time in 1975. The Church of Satan was splitting up during some turbulent times (Schism), as some were joining a new sect called Temple of Set.  The letter is sent to Pierre, who was loyal to Anton LaVey. In the letter Anton lets Pierre know that he is giving him Priesthood in the Church of Satan. A magnificent surviving piece of occult history as this is not found in standard public archives. See this and more inside The Altar Room. The Altar Room is a gallery rooted in preserving forgotten histories blending intrigue, rare oddities and mystical curiosity. 📍Open Saturdays 11am-5pm Located at: 3045 65th Street, suite 6, Sacramento, CA 95820 www.TheAltarRoom.com (link in bio) #sacramento #oddities #antonlavey #curiosities #churchofsatan taken in The Altar Room by @altarroommuseum

🪄An unedited farewell to one of my favorite “witchy” gallery archives… I get to achieve amazing history! In celebration of this year’s 400th anniversary of Salem, Massachusetts, Altar Room presents a collection of incredibly scarce pieces with the iconic Salem “witch on a broom” emblem. In the 1880’s-1890’s RH Robson made and sold bicycles in Salem, Massachusetts. He used the popularity of the area’s Salem Witch Trials lore by branding his bicycles the ‘Salem Witch’ and ‘Salem Scorcher.’ These bicycles became staples of the North Shore market during the Golden Age of Cycling.   ·An original 1890’s Salem Witch Bicycle Badge “Made by R.H. Robson, Salem, Mass. ·An original Witch Century 1896 Gold Plated Medal. - J. Harriott Boston stamped on back ·An original Witch Cent’y 1897 Gold Plated Medal - J. Harriott Boston Stamped on back. ·An original late 1800’s League of American Wheelmen fob/pendant with red gemstone in the center and a mother of pearl wheel that turns/spins. ·All are unrestored original patina   The two Witch Century Gold Plated Medals (1896 and 1897) were from a 100 mile (century) bicycle ride that was organized along major historical routes in the Portsmouth area, with an obvious link to the Salem Witch bicycle brand. This 4-piece archive collection is leaving The Altar Room in Sacramento, California but there is a blog article on the Altar Room website with additional detail (link in bio) The Altar Room: A gallery rooted in preserving forgotten histories. Filled with intrigue, and mystical curiosity. 📍Open Saturdays 11am-5pm Located at: 3045 65th Street, suite 6, Sacramento, CA 95820 www.TheAltarRoom.com (link in bio) #sacramento #salemwitch #salemhistory #wunderkammer #bicyclehistory taken in The Altar Room by @altarroommuseum

The most common question I get: Why are you only open to the public on Saturdays?? It’s been this way for many years and This is why: On any given day I have a head-light and apron on like a “mad scientist”. I’m in the Altar Room doing private archive, intake, and documentation for both private collections AND Altar Room clients. This space is full of history & mystical treasures… all with a past. I make sure their stories are accurate and not lost. I’m a preservationist... of the spirited kind.
