Tony Cavalero's Magick, with bonus neopagan penises

Remember that on The Righteous Gemstones, Keefe was a Satanist before Kelvin brought him to Christ?  Actually, it was more of a Goth/ fetish subculture that chanted "Hail Satan" for its shock value. 

Here Tony finds a copy of Devil's Food: A Satanic Cookbook  "in Keefe's storage unit." Good thinking: when you move in with a boyfriend, always keep the stuff from your old apartment, just in case.

It's a real book, written by Adam Ostrofsky (aka A Moveable Beast, har har), who runs a Satanism-infused catering company.  

The recipes are serious, not parodies: smoked salmon chowder, butternut squash  farroto,  red beet hummus, pommes robochon.  hominy veggie burgers with potato buns.

Many people confuse Satanism with paganism, but Satanists revere Satan, usually as a symbol, while pagans revere the old gods of Europe, or the archtypal Goddess. They practice magick with a k, rituals designed to become attuned to the power of the universe, not to turn people into aardvarks.

 For instance, 20% of Latvians practice Dievturiba, "living in harmony with the gods," and most Estonians draw spiritual practices from Maausk ("Earth Belief").

The Cavaleros don't mention spirituality much on their social media sites, but they are at least pagan-friendly.  Here Annie promotes Grimoire Girl, by Hilarie Burton Morgan, "A meditation on finding as much meaning in the small moments as in the big, illuminating the enchantment and wonder and goodness in the everyday."

Bonus: nude neopagans, or at least guys from Estonia:

Joe Jonas: The World's Most Famous Christian, flirting with Keefe and showing a bulge

 

Joe Jonas, "the world's most famous Christian" (sorry, Pope Francis), was an ideal celebrity guest star on The Righteous Gemstones  In Episode 2.2, he appears at a party held by the Lissons, the Texas megachurch pastors who are trying to woo Jesse and Amber into investing in a new Christian-themed resort.  

He returns in Episode 2.9, a guest at the ground-breaking party.  He and Keefe have a "charged moment" when they both reach for the port-a-potty handle at the same time, and touch hands.

It is unintentional, of course -- Keefe's fault for watching the hot guy who just vacated the port-a-potty instead of paying attention.  But the guys do look and act as if they are shyly flirting as they wait outside for Tiffany to have her baby. Wouldn't they start getting desperate after awhile?  

They both have other partners, but who cares?  It's just an innocent flirtation.

This photo does not appear in the scene, but Cavalero is still in character.  

In my headcanon, the two become friends.  I have stories about Jonas fixing him Keefe with his publicist (when Kelvin and Keefe aren't official yet), and with Elmo the Muppet (during the breakup):

Keefe's date with Joe Jonas: A Kelvin/Keefe romance

Jonas, the son of an Assemblies of God minister, rose to fame as the lead singer of the Jonas Brothers band.  Their series of top charting albums in the 2000s led him to roles in several teencoms, like  Hannah Montana, Camp Rock, and Sonny with a Chance,  as well as many reality shows featuring his brothers.  In the 2020s, he continues to perform and release new albums, alone or with his brothers.
