Satanism: A Sinple Summary

Bruce Lee once said to be fluid like water.

That’s Satanism  

Satanism is a tool and a Satanist cannot be backed into a wall as a result of the fluid application of the tool… when it’s behooving.

As times change, no human ideals stand sure. The Satanists, and I mean true Satanists, not just phase oners or people who try using it for making up a lack of their own real identity, are those iconoclasts who question all things and are unable to be cornered— metaphorically and literally.

Satanism is a living thought; a conversation; an action. It should be explored and tested, used to one’s advantage as after all, if you can’t use Satanism then what’s the use of being a Satanist? This is why pretentiousness and the forgetting of past orthodoxies are frowned upon, they are counterproductive to a Satanist, who, understands they live in reality and understands that Satanism promotes ‘‘thought and action’ as opposed to sitting back and expecting things to be spoonfed to them; Satanism promotes the uncomfortable (third-side) alternatives— taboo, secret knowledge (usually ending up about yourself more than anythin) you won’t find without playing with madness via study and natural experience.

Satanism is life in its most absolute form. It is survival, love, hate, passion; carnality— the flesh prevails. 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 its 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, lex talionis, skeptical inquiry…

Many who claim to be Satanists now have no real connection to it. Satanism is not for collective political battles; it is not for groupthink. If you ‘joined’ something in the name of Satanism, chances are, you’ve been conned.

The harsh truth is, Satanism is a harsh truth. It’s a smash in the face to rigidly sterile and stagnating ideals.

In a way Satanism is evolution, mainly in the mind but possibly on some genetic level.

Satanism is balance: Solve Et Coagula; love and hate; indulgence and abstinence. Baphomet is the image used to represent this most commonly, like water needs balance so it doesn’t disperse and crash down, Satanism is simultaneously the balance and the crash.

Despite it being an individualistic idea, Satanism is an open conversatio. How one can best practically apply the concept to their advantag, their surviva. Satanism understands, as stated before, that as time and environment changes no human ideals stand sure. While man-made, Satanism is an (anti-)ideology of reality, capable of use under most any environment or situation.

Malleability is individual.
