No, We Aren’t A Family of Satanists

 No, We Aren’t A Family of Satanists

In my time in circles for satanism I have noticed that many use terms like brother, sister, brethren, to refer to myself and other people. Let me make one thing very clear: I am not your sister, nor am I your brethren. Fellowship with brethren is a collectivist- typically Christian- concept. Satanism is not by any means a collectivistic bunch. Sure some might get together and have fun, but that’s their choice to have fun as a social animal and make friends. The Church of Satan has been called a mutual admiration society by numerous members, and that’s true not just for members of the church. Satanists have one thing in common: a mutual respect for the philosophy and religion that satanism is. Satanism does not dictate we are friends, family, or even like each other in the slightest. Satanism is for the individual, not the herd or any collective. 

For more information on this sort of thing see the article Satanism is not a Congregational Religion by Magister Bill M. of the Church of Satan.

    A Satanist I know is always saying, rather loudly at times, "There is no WE in Satanism."
    Nice little statement.

Trouble-making, Symbols, Sounds, Experiments

 Trouble-making, Symbols, Sounds, Experiments The stuff I made sure , and I mean very sure that it got into the book The Founding Of The Satanic Temple , was apparently deemed too obscene for selling and distribution which led to it being temporarily taken down . It just makes me realize how insane simple words are , they’re that powerful . I’ve always known that words hold a lot of weight (I am a writer after all ) , but never expected to be part of the reason dealing with such dark and taboo topics (eugenics , prez stuff , pretty much most of the darkest stuff in that book i made sure got in there ) and having it lead to Amazon trying to refuse to sell it over being too “obscene” . But , the fact that some simple words got the same sort of outcry that a swastika in public would receive is insane to me— the only difference is , is that the swastika is a symbol which evokes a multitude of emotional reactions , which on some level can be indescribable with words… although , the Germa

Hebrew, Not Christian

Hebrew, Not Christian (  לִוְיָתָן is  Hebrew for Leviathan) The word Satan in specific means a human adversary humans are fleshy and carnal animals, like any other. naturally, given that and the definition of the word Satan being a human adversary, Satanist would mean one that is adversarial to that which would deny the innate carnal and animalistic instincts humans have So, Satan coming from the Hebrew word for adversary, it’s not any one specific character. Satanism by it’s codification and definition of the word Satan stems from the idea of that adversary. Satanism is adversarial in that it promotes the life enriching things that have traditionally been given the devil’s name by both much of society and religious institutions. Greed, lust, nonconformity, rational self interest, humor, passion for living, atheism, being selective about who to love (or hate), self preservation, lex talionis/silver rule, third sides and uncomfortable alternatives… The Hebrew  SATANIC VERSES: The Adver

The Bottom Feeders Frenzy

  The Bottom-Feeders Frenzy [ 1 ] By Claudia Berdella This was the real secret. Annihilation. Nothing else. A chemical pulse that dissolved finally in violet light. No stories. Now we would always be frightened.   - Joseph Kanon, Los Alamos [ 2 ] As the Apex predator with zero competition or predatory threats to challenge, the human species is as a result a naturally destructive and hostile towards one another. Humans likely would not be able to survive if we stopped preying upon our own [ 3 ] .  Ever-lasting peace is unnatural . Humans are cannibalistic [ 4 ] in almost every sense of the word , however most do not like to even consider entertaining the notion of legitimately consuming another, though an argument can be made that the Catholics are the most prevalent practitioners of this taboo practice through their pseudo-enactment by eating the metaphorical body and blood of Christ at communion (and the Bible is quite pro-cannibalism at the core). People are cannibalistic in a more
