Digital Satanism by Claudia Berdella
Digital SatanismWhat are you?
Mental masturbating-
-echo chambers
Attempts at unique subculture
What is an "alien elite"?- [1]
When one's will is too distorted
to know it
and how to speak.
Unfortunate darlings,
trying to be terrifying.
A scary mask just trying to pass [2][3]
Existence is miserable
when in inauthentic robes
Martini-sipping-
-fedora-tipping-
Lots of talk about what something is when the use of the tool is barely even explored
What is your will?
"What's your pleasure/ what is your pain/
do you think too much/ do you think what you need is a crutch" [4]
Closets may be skeleton-laden but
the satanist powers on
"A Satanist could have fun in a paper bag"[5]
It would be more productive
than "debating apologetics from Abrahamic
semantical religious jingoists [6]
Arguing with fundamentalists:
fun but useless--
on some level,
mutually pretentious [7]
Freudian presentation in
mamma's boys
An interesting inclination
Well,
it is for cake & tits
but of course,
it's much more nuanced than simply that
Pleasures Of The Flesh
not self-destructive compulsion
Depressive solipsism [8]
One-dimensional case-studies
It does show a gross entity
within this society
But a living philosophy
people are constantly evolving
Eminem's Lose Yourself--
is quite a satanic hymn
Aside the Silcrow [9]
All I see
Is mostly talk and no show

[1] 'Rebels Without Cause' by Peter H. Gilmore, from The Satanic Scriptures-
"So, we do not accord the honorific of “Satanist” to rebels without cause acting the part of misguided mavericks in a shallow attempt to one-up the true “alien elite.” It is reserved for the noble few who by their nature are drawn to their own reflection in the integrally sound philosophy of the Church of Satan. House Masochists should realize that we have no interest in witnessing their threadbare theatrics. Those meshuga messiahs should look elsewhere for appreciation, to people who use self-sacrifice as THEIR guiding image, not from Satanists. We stand sure and proud as the captains of our own destiny, plotted with all of our faculties sharply enabled towards the task of maintaining triumphant joy. Know that the authentic Satanist, like our founder before us, is fully self-aware, hypercritical of himself above all, cognizant of his allies and—as it suits his purposes—he employs reasoned dissidence as a means for inspiring meaningful, evolutionary revolution."

[7] Satanic Sin #2 by Anton LaVey from The Nine Satanic Sins
Pretentiousness—Empty posturing can be most irritating and isn’t applying the cardinal rules of Lesser Magic. On equal footing with stupidity for what keeps the money in circulation these days. Everyone’s made to feel like a big shot, whether they can come up with the goods or not.
[8] Satanic Sin #3
Solipsism—Can be very dangerous for Satanists. Projecting your reactions, responses and sensibilities onto someone who is probably far less attuned than you are. It is the mistake of expecting people to give you the same consideration, courtesy and respect that you naturally give them. They won’t. Instead, Satanists must strive to apply the dictum of “Do unto others as they do unto you.” It’s work for most of us and requires constant vigilance lest you slip into a comfortable illusion of everyone being like you. As has been said, certain utopias would be ideal in a nation of philosophers, but unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, from a Machiavellian standpoint) we are far from that point.
