A little bit about me: I am a Spiritual Satanist and have been for about two years now. This board will mainly be for people who are interested in and want to learn about Satanism. Opposing views are always welcome. What fun would it be if it were purely a circle jerk? Right.

FOR NEWBIES:

Please, please, PLEASE!!! start below with these links first and get yourself familiarized with what real Satanism is all about. For any other questions, look through the site until you find what you were looking for, and trust me, most of your questions can be answered by reading the site. If impossible, and this is rare matter, make a new thread and state your question there or whatever you have to say.

Satan is a creation of Judaeo-Christian-Islamist mythology. He was originally Shei-tan, the mythical keeper of Sheol, a burning bituminous lake in southern Palestine which the ancient Jews imagined was the entrance to the underworld.

His cognate in classical paganism is Serapis, a hybrid deity invented by the Macedonian conquerors of Egypt to harmonize the Greek Zeus with the Egyptian Ammon.

There are plenty of genuine Old Gods to venerate – don’t waste your time on this foolish confection of the mean-spirited, life-hating patriarchal monotheists.

/atheism/ here, but above that I'm a skeptic. By which I mean I require evidence to believe something is true.

I've read LaVey's Satanic Bible, and a fair bit of the stuff on Joy of Satan, but I don't see any evidence for the existence of Satan or demons. I'm open to pretty much anything provided there's supporting evidence. Do you folks have any of that? I read on JoS that you can talk to demons and Satan himself directly, but I didn't see anything telling me how to do this. Is there any way I could get evidence that Satanism is true (preferably by contacting a "Satanic" being directly)? I'm not looking to make a mockery or anything. I'm just curious.

True Satanic Black Metal are bands such as Darkthrone, Aryan Satankampf, Graveland, the Gestapo 666, Satanic Warmaster, Beherit and Impaled Nazarene. You can listen to Metallica if you want, but you do not understand anything about the real Hitleric Nazi Black Metal. You are just a poser and you can fuck off the whole scene. Black Metal is real music, not intended for animals like you, but the real Satanic Misanthropists who do not care about people like you dampers.

Black Metal is music for the elite and you do not understand it. None of you understand the real Satanism. You ridiculous little kids. Our worldview is based on Wotanic Hitlerism, on a personal level satanic individualism, collective level Hitleric Fascism. Without an understanding of the theoretical occultism, it is useless to dream of understanding the Wotanic worldview. None of you can understand Wotanism, for you are all intellectually earthworms. You can not reach the elite level of Satanism, so why even you dream about it. Satanism and Black Metal are the elite. For real misanthropists.

Without all the supernatural garbage because let's be honest, atheism is the way to go… isn't satanism, since it is opposed to that which is "holy" only a doctrine of master morality?

I wrote this post originally on /polpol/ and am pasting here cos I feel it's relevant. I know not everyone will agree with what is written below, but some will.

**
We all know the Jew's nature is to subvert, corrupt and destroy. They have for centuries destroyed our knowledge and culture, none of which can ever be replaced. One way they were successful in subverting, undermining and enslaving us is attacking our souls. The human soul is real. Those who engage in yoga and meditation know we ARE a soul, and have a body.

Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Law, is the original name of our religion before it was corrupted into what we know as "Hinduism". Even the word "hindu" is a corruption of "sindhu". The entire goal of Sanatana Dharma was to become one with Brahma through advancing the soul through yoga and meditation. Brahmanism to put it simply. The "twice born" Brahma caste were ones who had perfected the soul, no different than Pharaohs and high priests like the Naddreds (Druids). Twice born here representing the rebirth of the soul. The death and regeneration, all symbolic and sacred going back thousands of years.

The serpent has forever been a sacred symbol and synonymous with the sun. Serpent worship has been recorded to be over 70,000 years old. One would imply this to be the original religion. In esoteric understanding the serpent is symbolic of wisdom, enlightenment(Sat)- something achieved when one is advanced in kundalini yoga. In Sanskrit, one of our most ancient languages if not the oldest, Sat is a term associated with enlightenment. truth. The Satya Yuga is known to be the Golden Age, the Age of Truth when the Gods walked among us. Sattva, satya, satnam all carry the popular root "Sat", again referring to truth.

In Vedic mythology, Ananta Shesha is the king of all Nāgas (serpent deities) and one of the primal beings of creation. Ananta's definition is "without end".

By now you might be asking yourself what the entire point of all this is. Christians forever rant and rave about how we are living in the end of times, doomsday and Armageddon are upon us. Truth is, we are. Thanks to the internet the truth can no longer be suppressed. The Abrahamic kosher programs are being exposed for what they are. Spiritually-enslaving mechanisms to deter us from advancing, becoming one with Brahma. Reaching the physical and spiritual perfection that was ever so sacred in the ancient times before we were plagued with these false spiritualities. False spirituality that does nothing but remove true spiritual knowledge. How much knowledge has been destroyed at the hands of Christians, Muslims, and Jews? It's time we fought back. These people tell us Satan is our enemy? Just how many has Satan killed? How many libraries were destroyed and burned because of Satan? How many cities were razed to the ground because of Satan? If you ask me, none. Nobody has ever threatened one another with murder for not accepting Satan as their lord and savior, and they dare tell us he is our enemy? The end of times are here for these anti-spiritual, anti-Aryan programs of death.

We are taught to believe Satan is a mythological creature, the deceiver of humanity. How many people actually take the time to look into this? In Hebrew, Satan means adversary or enemy. Ha Satan is THE enemy. Yet Hebrew isn't even as old as Sanskrit is. Hebrew is not the language of our forefathers/ancestors. Now, going back to Sat and Ananta. Taking Sat=Truth and An=Eternal we come up with SatAn meaning truth eternal or eternal truth. An obvious opposite meaning of deceiver and enemy. Again, we all know the Jews fear truth. They are against it. For years they have tried to cover up our history and replace it with some kosher biblical crap. It's not working anymore. They know we are onto their tricks and manipulation and are coming up with every distraction possible to deter us from pointing them out as the enemy.

You can take all of what I have just written and completely disregard it, or you can use it to come up with your own conclusions and research deeper into all of this. The only thing I ask of you is to be smarter than using a Jewish source when it comes to religion. The Jews work from both sides against the middle. The only way we can defeat them is attack them head on and persecute both Jewish twins of Jewish Communism and Jewish Christianity, otherwise we do no severe damage and either one or the other or both end up succeeding.

What Spiritual Satanism means for me

I want to start off by making a few things clear about Satanism. Many people have the wrong idea about it thanks to the media pushing anti-Satan garbage. I am hoping for this post to clear any and ALL misconceptions about us. There are many sects of Satanism but only one is the true form of Satanism. The Traditional Satanism, also known as the Primordial Tradition. The spiritual tradition practiced by all PRE-christian civilizations. Our main focuses are as follows:

1)Spiritual Advancement: Kundalini is key

Spiritual advancement is probably our number one priority and the base/foundation of our ideology. We achieve new spiritual levels through anything that raises the bio-electricity/chi levels for example: yoga, meditation, pranayama, etc. Doing yoga not only raises energy. It flexes and straightens the spine, opens centers within us that are tight/corrupt and damaged making it much more easier to work with the chakras also known as energy centers of the human soul; see diagram. If one does nothing to advance spiritually, they are going against everything we believe as Spiritual Satanists. We do not sit around on our butts flicking through the TV guide thinking Satan and the demons have it all worked out for us. Some in our organizations might and this is insulting to all those who meditate for more than 2 hours a day working hard to become a god.
Kundalini is of Satan, serpent is Satanism.

To get a general idea of what it is we are trying to achieve, read up on kundalini. Best advice I can give.

2) Study

Study, study, study. If one does not study, one stagnates and is left behind, intellectually speaking. Like scientists, Satanists must be up to date on new information. Always reading and researching as much as possible. There are so many corrupted texts out there and people are being led blind. People go with a few wiki articles have to say not knowing these entire articles could have garbage sources, written to support an agenda, etc. A few subjects we hold dearly are the occult, science, religion, ancient knowledge/teachings, meditation, yoga, physical and spiritual advancement, humanity. We are not new agers, we are not a cult. We are all for nature and against anything attacking nature like garbage political fronts, Christianity: the Jewish death cult along with Islam and Judaism, communism/bolshevism/Marxism/leninism, liberalism, capitalism, etc. Anything corrupt and to the detriment of humanity, we work to expose and destroy. Big reason why we are attacked so much leading me to my next and final point.

3) Trust In Satan: The Gods are always here for us

Satanists MUST always remember to trust Satan and the demons, our gods, our true creators and teachers. They are always here for us, no matter the issue. One thing to keep in mind is, they have a LOT of enemies and are always busy fighting and looking out for our safety. Satan gives us knowledge. We must be strong and keep up with his knowledge. Always meditating and working to advance the soul. Satanism is not for the weak. It is not an easy path although very worth fighting for. Empowering the human soul makes us strong and more visible on the astral. Those who aren’t protected by Satan are at it alone, no guidance and most definitely no protection from evil entities on the astral. Entities who seek our destruction. This will not happen as long as we are strong in Satan and take down the enemy once and for all.

Spiritual Satanism is all about the advancement of humanity. It’s more than a religion. We fight for what we believe to be true and by doing this we are going against all we as a society have been indoctrinated to believe, making us seem like the enemy. In this world “traditions” are being quickly replaced and people hate seeing their precious illusion of a perfect world crumbling. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, a snake sheding its skin, humanity is being reborn again this time in Satan.

HAIL SATAN!!

HALLOWEEN:

This article is a copypasta and in no way shape or form credited to the OP. Purely for education purposes! This post below pretty much sums up on how Satan is not the real Devil christianity loves to portray.
——————

Also- like with the Eqinoxes, Samhain/Halloween is an excellent time for astral communications with the Gods and for other workings, as the veils are thin at this time.

Samhain

For those of us who are very close to Father Satan, we are all well aware that he is fed up with all of the Judeo/xian claims and statements concerning what our religion is, how we celebrate and worst of all WHAT THEY CLAIM HE IS ALL ABOUT.

SATAN IS NOT A HALLOWEEN MONSTER
SATAN IS NOT A VAMPIRE, SPOOK OR GHOUL
SATAN DOES NOT HAVE RED HORNS AND A TAIL
SATAN IS NOT ABOUT GRAVEYARDS, GRIM REAPERS, SKELETONS OR ABOUT HORROR.
THIS TRASH COMES FROM XIANS. IT IS USED TO BLASPHEME, DENIGRATE AND RIDICULE HIM. THE SAME GOES FOR HIS DEMONS.

For many of us, Halloween is a favorite holiday. I, myself love horror movies and such. The point here is how these have been twisted to portray a false and insulting image of Satan and the Original Gods (Now labeled as "Demons").

Ask yourself how you would feel if people put on hideous masks and went out as either you or a family member of yours or a loved one.

Father Satan should be respected on this date, not mocked by those who believe in and honor whatever xianity dictates he is. How long do you think someone would last going out dressed as the nazarene? Chances are, they would be attacked by some fundie xian.
Or, if Hollywood was to produce a movie depicting the nazarene and his ilk as hideous monsters.

Halloween is a great time for costumes, monsters and ghouls, images of death and such. A time to be creative and indulge. It is one of our major holidays, but the negative images denigrating Father have to go.
He is tired of it and has let the clergy know he does not approve of these insults. For far too long, too many Satanists have gone along with the XIAN ideas of Satan and his Demons; what the XIANS allege them to be and what THEY claim our religion is all about, instead of seeing Satan for WHO HE REALLY IS without all of the xian false and twisted overtones.


ABOUT SAMHAIN:
The holiday known as "Halloween" was originally called "Samhain" a Celtic word meaning "Summer's End." In ancient times, religions were based upon nature, where humanity lived in tune with the earth, the change of seasons and the changes in the stars in the sky. This is the essence of Satanism; what is natural.

The major cycles of the year and the crops were important times for festivities, rites and celebrations. Samhain was a time of harvest and the end of a year, a time of preparation; storing crops and preparing for the dead of winter. The eve of November 1st was the eve of the Celtic New Year. This holiday was a time of harvest, a time of endings, death and dying, as plant life died and the cold set in. Samhain was also a time of honoring the dead. The Druids built huge bonfires, which they considered sacred, in honor of the Celtic New Year.

The Nine Satanic Sins.

1. Stupidity—The top of the list for Satanic Sins. The Cardinal Sin of Satanism. It’s too bad that stupidity isn’t painful. Ignorance is one thing, but our society thrives increasingly on stupidity. It depends on people going along with whatever they are told. The media promotes a cultivated stupidity as a posture that is not only acceptable but laudable. Satanists must learn to see through the tricks and cannot afford to be stupid.

2. 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.

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.

4. Self-deceit—It’s in the “Nine Satanic Statements” but deserves to be repeated here. Another cardinal sin. We must not pay homage to any of the sacred cows presented to us, including the roles we are expected to play ourselves. The only time self-deceit should be entered into is when it’s fun, and with awareness. But then, it’s not self-deceit!

5. Herd Conformity—That’s obvious from a Satanic stance. It’s all right to conform to a person’s wishes, if it ultimately benefits you. But only fools follow along with the herd, letting an impersonal entity dictate to you. The key is to choose a master wisely instead of being enslaved by the whims of the many.

6. Lack of Perspective—Again, this one can lead to a lot of pain for a Satanist. You must never lose sight of who and what you are, and what a threat you can be, by your very existence. We are making history right now, every day. Always keep the wider historical and social picture in mind. That is an important key to both Lesser and Greater Magic. See the patterns and fit things together as you want the pieces to fall into place. Do not be swayed by herd constraints—know that you are working on another level entirely from the rest of the world.

7. Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies—Be aware that this is one of the keys to brainwashing people into accepting something new and different, when in reality it’s something that was once widely accepted but is now presented in a new package. We are expected to rave about the genius of the creator and forget the original. This makes for a disposable society.

8. Counterproductive Pride—That first word is important. Pride is great up to the point you begin to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The rule of Satanism is: if it works for you, great. When it stops working for you, when you’ve painted yourself into a corner and the only way out is to say, I’m sorry, I made a mistake, I wish we could compromise somehow, then do it.

9. Lack of Aesthetics—This is the physical application of the Balance Factor. Aesthetics is important in Lesser Magic and should be cultivated. It is obvious that no one can collect any money off classical standards of beauty and form most of the time so they are discouraged in a consumer society, but an eye for beauty, for balance, is an essential Satanic tool and must be applied for greatest magical effectiveness. It’s not what’s supposed to be pleasing—it’s what is. Aesthetics is a personal thing, reflective of one’s own nature, but there are universally pleasing and harmonious configurations that should not be denied.
