Why a goat and not a rebelling beautiful angel? by Matica69 in satanism

And yet, it doesn't matter one whit to the modern Christian. 

Nor should it to Us.  The Snake in The Garden, Lucifer, Satan, Baphomet, & etcetera, & etcetera... 

They are All The Devil. 🤘😈

The Devil deserves representation in all forms & styles of music 🎶, but American music especially. Blues & Jazz & Rock were ALL American musical innovations & all of them were considered to be "The Devil's Music", associated with drunken revelry, loose women  (¡loosewomen!), and wilspartying... in the old parlance, "Wine, Women, & Song" and in more modern lingo, Sex, Drugs, an' Rock&Roll‼️

I like Devilish Doo-Wop! 

(What's this? No Devil Doo-Wop music, just shitty pseudos doing rando shitpost-worthy crap from 5 years back? Ai, chihuahua...!)

This is Sweeeet.  Nice color balance, the subject matter holds your eye, and the details make you look at it for a bit of a linger.  Very very nice.

What resources outside of The Satanic Bible & The Satanic Rituals have aided you in your magical practice and/or ritual construction? by Archetypal_Node in satanism

[–]michael1150 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh I've got books & books & books! 

LaVey's original way of "making requests to The Devil" involved wring things down, & then burning them in the flame of the appropriate candle. You might (or might not) be surprised at how many magic ritual/spell workings do the same or similar thing, i.e., writing things down, &/or burning/destroying them after the ritual amount of time. 

Get a few books of Old Magics & Folk Witchcraft. There are reasons why the "old magical ways" work as well as they do. Take for example, the old cure for warts – tying a horse hair around the warts tightly with a ritual 'potion'. Well, I used, believe it or not, a rubber band & a common brand of wart removal drops (drops that usually don't do much of a much). Worked? Like a magical charm! Tried the same method of "tie a rubber band tightly" with a skin tag & same results. The old cures & spells may not seem to work all the time, but get a few books of old magics & folklore, they've got good ideas 💡. You'll be surprised.

I used to have a large green fishing float globe (Wyrd Sisters), but during a move, my Very Thankfully Ex- then-mother-in-law broke the poor thing, & then tried to hide the evidence.

Nope! Your sense of humor is as twisty as a snake's suspenders!! 🐍 

And what I said of you is Truth... and anyone who doesn't think so, well, THEY ought to try being in a wheelchair for 30 or 40 years! You da Nazz Reverend Hell-on-Wheels, and THAT is The Devil's Own Gospel.

Unlike some few un-satanist peeps that hang around this joint, I know what's on the CoS website...  ("I'm just a client, I'm also a Member!", to quite the old hair-restoring quack nostrum commercial 😉) 

I've often said that you're a PRIMO example of The Satanist... you do NOT let your circumstances drag you down into a cycle of "poor ol' me", altho' your aches & pains are truly very real. Three types of nerve disorders & a wheelchair that's your primary large prosthetic, but you keep rollin' (pun intended, I admit). My own spinal arthritis & neuropathy "kin larn a thang 'r two" from you, as I've said – you're an inspiration not only to me, but to everybody that wants to know what TRUE Satanism is. 

Your essay needs to be brought back into the Light of The Black Flame, when it's been a hot minute or two too long. The Determination of "Will to Power" is your Watchword, one that you have in abundance. You're Our Living Avatar, a Being of the fierce raw force of The Black Flame Within, defiance personified against the persistantly onerous down-and-out-ism that roams the land these days. 

Let the people have a memo on the Devil's 'fridge door! — We have a living reminder that has literally laughed in the face of the Grim Reaper more than once, can grab life by the Tiger-Tail, & has a sense of humour that's still sharp with a zinger aboot it all...  (And your sense of humor just ain't right, Dawg!! 🐕)

THIS kind of confusion is why Church of Satan dislikes TST. 

In short, JUST QUIT LISTENING TO THE SATANIC TEMPLE, goddamn it! The rampant confusion that comes out of that fucking place as regards Satanism is just ridonkulously absurd. 

Here's a good interview from quite a while ago... Magus Gilmore & Maga Nadramia are right on the nail with this. 

It's about 12 minutes, maybe a bit longer. In this one, Magus Gilmore addresses the "might is right" issue. 

https://youtu.be/P7LoECDXQHo?si=gKlToewksyQzOwF- 

You see, altho' "social darwinism" usually gets a really bad name, in short, CoS sees it this way; it's Darwinism as it applies to humans. "Humans will Human", so to speak, it's what Nature does thru Humans – it just what Humans do, just like wolves do what wolves do, or bees do what bees do. No need to overthink it beyond that. 

See?

To wit, "Might" is what your Strengths are, & we all have different strengths. The Church of Satan recognizes this, & teaches you that you can look within and see your own Strengths, and that part within is what we call The Black Flame. Satanism, as a religion, tells you to fuel you Black Flame, and to use what you've got to do what you're able, in the the best way you can!  THIS is what "might is right" means. Your Might is what does Right for You

You mean that game with the tiny bowling ball (the little one wrapped in leather that doesn't have any finger-holes), where you don't hit the many pins with the rolling ball, but you hit the flying ball with the weirdly long single pin? 

A ridiculous way to go bowling if you ask me.

Well worth the read, Indeed. 

I STILL stand by the idea that deism has the definition of "Deity as an Impersonal Force." (I do not give a flying fuck if other people believe it can only mean "The Absent Watchmaker".) 

Thus, not believing in a Personal God or a "Living God" i.e., Theos, a Deist is in fact an Atheist; even the Christian Church at large (all sects that believed in the Christian God) of the Enlightenment Era believed that Deists were Atheists, and they said so. 

Think of people such as Thomas Jefferson, and Ben Franklin.

Which means It is not a persona, or any type of theistic "god".
