Vivian Black, Occultist

Concerning this facet of Vivian, are more the things that are ignored than the things that are known, actually. Judging by her behavior with the musicians, the public, the press, etc., she was always very respectful and proper; she never generated any kind of scandal that could have lead anyone to think she practiced witchcraft, as many presume. Moreover, no one has any proof of that, which can certify the veracity of such rumor.Her characters in the videos are something completely different; that's acting. This is the same as if any of us watched an actor or an actress on screen, embodying a psychopath, a murderer or a vampire, for example, and thought they really are the same in their daily lives. Things are not like that.
The truth is that everybody sees Vivian Black as a kind of obscure South American spiritual leader. She received in her mail questions conserning occultism from fans, the media, etc.   This is because it is strange to find someone who rises like a symbol of this magnitude in a Catholic country, especially when being a member of the "Church of Satan" from San Francisco, California, founded in 1966 by Anton Szandor La Vey, the creator of that philosophy.

Vivian did not have any predicament in declaring her membership of La Vey's church publicly for all the media. Because of this, a TV Channel asked her to help them produce a special program concerning Satanism. In that way, she became one of the production assistants. That was the first program with famous members of the "Church of Satan" (including the international spectacle), performed in an open television channel in 1997. Vivian made the first contact with the mentioned people, and she had to prepare the outline of the themes to develop in that program.
King Diamond, vocalist of "Mercyfull Fate" was among the interviewees. The vocalist is also another of this Church members, since long ago.
This transgressor facet of Vivian, becoming an emblem of Satanism in Argentina, was her curse, and some time later, it played against her. Now I will explain what really happened.
Vivian paid a very high price when she became a symbol from hell (don´t forget about the fact of the Roman Catholic religion of her native country); the people who crossed her way, known by her or not, told her she was an offense to that religion, among other terrible things. She suffered deeply the discrimination against her, not only by people in general, but also by her friends, musicians, her family and even her own parents.
Beyond the limits of art, the rest of the people thought that Vivian had made a pact with Satan, so anyone who would disagree with her on any point of view, would be ... turned into a toad!
Once her album was edited finally, about to be distributed as well as to be presented during a world tour in countries like Spain, Germany, Romania, Scandinavia, Bulgaria, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay (in some of which she had already performed before), and Argentina, Vivian suddenly fell into a deep depression as a result of the marginalization she had experienced. During those days, she looked very sad and desolated.
Her characterization was so convincing that everybody branded Vivian as a very dangerous witch. If she had lived during the age of the middle age, she would have been sentenced to the stake to burn into flames.
This implies that her virtues as an actress are truly amazing. It was a pity that nobody had thought of it that way. If there were horror movies producers in Argentina, somebody would have surely offered her a leading role in any of their movies.
Vivian had really bad luck; her album was being distributed worldwide with excellent acceptance.  Despite this great repercussion, nobody saw Vivian again anywhere. No more plays with the musicians, no more interviews, or concerts, or nothing else. She had practically vanished. She became a victim of her own character, and it was out of her control, like sand between her fingers.
A talented woman, with a rising and promising future, who was discriminated to a point where she decided to put a temporary end to her career. She wishes with all of her heart that the situation changes someday, to be able to start again. Vivian Black craves another chance, a new horizon, somewhere many miles away from Buenos Aires to participate in any horror movie, or perhaps to make a new album. But this time around, if the chance arises, she will make sure that the people who are fans of her art, if they want to follow her, have the following concept clear in mind: "The world of fiction ends where reality begins."
