The Libertine Gospel

Ronald MacLennan

The Libertine Gospel is a manifesto in motion—a newsletter for those who exalt freedom above obedience, instinct above inhibition, and the raw splendor of the individual above the trembling morality of the herd. Written in the spirit of other divine blasphemers, this is your invitation to strip away the mask, unleash the beast, and revel in the sacred ecstasy of living unapologetically. Essays, manifestos, confessions, and unfiltered truths—delivered with velvet and fire. Subscribe if you dare

Confessions of a Libertine in Front of a Hearth

The Libertine Gospel ·

2025/11/24

On the table beside me, the accoutrements of last night’s indulgence remained: a half-empty bottle of Bordeaux, a leather-bound book splayed open to its most illicit chapter, and a candle burnt down to a stub. I had consumed only a small, almost negligible amount of wine. Intoxication, I believe, is best achieved not through the vulgar dulling of the senses through drink, but rather in the crystalline, unfettered anarchy of the imagination. The open book in my hands still displayed the passage I

The Chamber Beneath the CityFew names in Edinburgh’s long and haunted history inspire as much fascination and unease as Madam Violet, the enigmatic matron of the so-called Vampire Hive. Her legend has always lingered like a perfume—intoxicating, impossible to forget.But while tales of her undead dominion have persisted for centuries, one location remains more feared than all others: The Velvet Salon. Said to be the heart of her coven, the Salon was not merely a lair. It was a court—a place where

By day, its spires rise proudly against the Scottish sky, symbols of Enlightenment and reason. By night, however, the Old Town whispers secrets older than reason itself. Beneath its cobbled closes and beneath the wind-battered turrets, there lies something that neither history books nor tourist guides ever dare to mention: The Hive.Locals whisper about it in hushed tones,

The apartment smells wrong without him, and I hate it. I hate how the walls seem to lean in like they’re gossiping about his absence. I hate how my keys sound too loud when I set them down because there’s no one here to tease me about always losing them.Three days. It’s been three days since the accident. Three days of my mother making me tea I don’t like and looking at me with those eyes that say my baby is broken and I can’t fix this.I step inside the apartment, and the door clicks shut. It sounds

Young Gen Z libertines—those who seek radical self-expression, sensual liberation, and emotional authenticity outside the bounds of traditional morality—are shaping their own gospel, distinct from past generations. Their preoccupations often blend old provocations with modern anxieties, producing a unique, digitally saturated, and emotionally raw philosophy of liberation.Gen Z Libertines: Breaking Algorithms and the Code of ConformityIn the ultra high tech underbelly of the digital age, a new breed

They are everywhere, the herd. They bustle politely in cafés, bow their heads in church pews, form neat queues, and nod along to lectures that bore them into spiritual extinction. They smile without warmth. They f**k without heart. They live not by the pulse, but by the clock.They are not alive—they are preserved.I watch them with the mingled pity and disgust that a man feels for a caged lion who no longer remembers the taste of blood. They wear their leashes with pride. Their obedience is not

The Seductress by Ronald MacLennan

2025/08/21

It was our annual New Year's Eve party. A traditional black and white tie affair. The party had been in full swing for at least an hour before I noticed her. The band was playing and the guests were dancing. In hindsight, the fact that she slipped past me without me noticing was unusual. My eyes are like radar at these gatherings, scanning for any new or intriguing faces. Somehow, she slipped past my awareness until the moment she stepped into the grand ballroom.I was pouring myself a drink, my

There is nothing noble in a tamed man.I have stared into the mirror of society and seen not faces, but masks—smooth, hollow, interchangeable. I have watched as individuals, once shimmering with peculiar radiance, surrender their edges for the approval of the mob. They speak not their own truths but repeat those which will not cost them anything. They suppress hunger in favor of harmony, passion in favor of politeness, and then, confused by their own anemia, blame the world for being dull.I do not

They call freedom a virtue when it conforms to their paper-thin values—when it is neat, bloodless, and contained within the fence of legality. They whisper it proudly in textbooks and speeches, but only so far as it marches to the rhythm of the state, the family, and the church. The moment freedom becomes wild and uncompromising, it ceases to be a virtue and becomes, in their trembling mouths, a vice.I, with unrepentant lips, declare: yes. It is a vice, and it is divine.To me, freedom is not a prize

Inspired by the painting “A Summer Day” (1927) by Gerda WegenerHere I am, sprawled out on a blanket with my two lovers, having an afternoon picnic by the wild, untamed shores of this Scottish loch, its dark waters reflecting the afternoon light.

2025/08/07

I do not begin with an apology, nor do I descend to the infantile realm of justification. I spit upon the altar of virtue, and in its place I offer only one thing: my unshackled will.From the moment of my first breath, the world conspired to domesticate me. Swaddled in white cloth, kissed by the sour milk of expectation, I was offered a cradle of obedience and told it was love. I remember—though none do recall it with me—the cold gleam in the eyes of those who cooed above my head, already plotting

The Liberating Ride of Lady Godiva

2025/07/31

The morning air was crisp, caressing my skin like a lover’s embrace, but I, Lady Godiva, felt none of its chill. That morning, I rode through the cobblestone streets of Coventry naked, my exposed skin crawling with the weight of a thousand unseen eyes. The streets of Coventry were deserted. Not a single person in sight.My husband, Leofric, the Earl of Mercia—his cruel dare echoing in my mind like a dirty prayer: "Ride, Godiva. Ride naked through the town square, and I shall grant your wish," Leofric
