Manifest Destined
By Ixtar
I begin today with a cautious glance as I am now here far to late to turn back and flee. As I look into my inner most deeper self and see a world of reason and of sense. I take up my inner rages and desires and needs and wants and give them not to dead gods or devils of long ago forgotten existences.Before my very eyes I see the foot hills and valleys upon which I am destined t start to walk in my own way and experience these dark wonderful joys.
Cast away my fears and doubts for I alone bare this journey and I shall not fall prey to any one nor there whims.
I Invoke the inner god of my being and with wrath press onward with no fear or regret for my darkest days shall come to pass and at the end of this I shall become that in which I knew I always was.
Unshackle the death of my lost ones, strip away the pain and misery inflicted.
It will pass through me as a sand storm upon and arid dune shall.
Nature is my tutor as we all are.
My journey begins and I fear not.
Legion in the mind, and awakening your Demonic attributes…
By Born Satanist
I’ve been pondering some works, relative to a self help of sorts, in which I want to couple ‘spiritual/demonaltry’ concepts with the true form of Satanic symbolism (dominions of hell, the Prince of the Air and the attributes he oversees. Lucifer as the Crown, Satan as the Root). I believe that when grounded, and observed for what they are, which is a part of us all in our fleshy forms. These symbols and focus can empower the Satanist in awakening these attributes not yet dominant or tapped.Nested deep in the mind and thus body, are the attributes that many grimoires of the past personified. Is there merit to invoking these powerful relics. Does one have anything to gain from blowing the dust from these dark images. I say hell yes. What I suggest (to the dismay of many ‘theists’) is making these demons your own, claiming your own sentience and understanding that you give these beasts life. Often called ‘possession’, an internal Legion.
There’s great power in symbolic interpretation, and personifying useful attributes as we walk the adversarial path. We are ‘Satan‘ists are we not?
For the sake of numerous arguments from the theists and demonalterors that may view this demon from other perspectives, I will clarify the attributes I have chosen to take for myself. The fact that I have chosen Asmodeus from the many names given to said symbolic human traits, should provide a hint for those in the know.
The first son by union of Lilith and Samael (Tubal-Cain not observed), implies the product of furious lust. While ‘lust’ and ‘fury’ work well together in balance and compliment, many choose to relate it to the physical being, and carnal practices of the unbound Satanist. This attribute is transcendental in it’s concept. Awakening a furious lust within when properly observed, brings the Satanist to not only achieve their goals, but hunger for fruition relative to intent and carrying out planning and goals.
I will not include invocations, as these are yours to own, I suggest your own book of shadows.
Asmodeus, the concept of the desire to live well and succeed. This is the piece of your Will that refuses to lay down, to want, and to obsess. ‘The over seer of the gambling houses of hell’, isn’t hard to see that this is what makes us willing to risk, as we lust for that which we desire… When observing Asmodeus, and absorbing these attributes, the symbol belongs relative to focus on splenic chakra in meditation. Honoring the creative, with furious lust as the inspiration…
**This is something I’ve been working on for a little while, and when published in it’s entirety, will address every chakra point, to achieve an internal kingdom of hell, with the individual as the ‘godhead’. I am looking for scrutiny here, and this is just a small taste, but what I’m asking I suppose is if it seems to fit. I trust there are members knowledgeable of these subjects, and ask that you remain observant that I will be nothing more than completely abstract and non-traditional.
This is rough draft and needs refining, but when done I think it may be a wonderful map. I also believe it will serve well to appeal to theists and symbolic Satanists alike. Should they so choose to toy with the Occult for personal gain and inspiration.
Ask anything as well, as I’m sure this will appear vague to many. It is an excerpt. The formula is conceptually similar to Qlippoth or an internal Sephiroth with fewer points and the awakening (embrace or defeat) of whichever symbol the individual chooses that suits their development best. I am simply including the symbols I chose, why and where they fit best.
I also plan to incorporate some portions of tantra when dealing with Satan / Root Chakra and how it applies to real life concepts (climactic release, situational penetration and laying of seeds), all designed to push the one who uses it.

Also, a natural ascension/descension (balanced respective to the intent when practiced) of 7 will not go in that numerical progression, leaving the user to jump from any point, to any point, so long as it strengthens the bond between Lucifer the thinker, and Satan the doer.
I often have issues laying points out in ordered fashion, and this work will feel like chaos, and that is also an intention, while bringing it to personal order. The essence of harnessing abyssmal mechanics…
Any feedback is appreciated. I will be changing the color and symbol of each chakra point when designing my own model (in terms of visual aid). Also, if I may seem to be close to anything you may have read in the past, understand that I have made it a point not to explore these realms by reading but by doing (outside of researching archetypal attributes and symbolic significance), so any resemblance is certainly coincidental to anything others may be doing. Personally, I likely haven’t seen it.
Sigil Magic…
By Born Satanist
The use of personal Sigils is something that has been of great interest to me for some time. I’ve experimented with them on countless occasion, and have found a percentage of success that surpasses coincidental variability…around 85%. This of course isn’t a ‘set it and forget it’ concept though, rest assured. Not in my opinion. It’s an empowerment, but not an enabler or crutch in which to throw caution to the wind in favour of ‘faith’.
It must invariably always be the true Will of the individual when creating a Sigil. If it is a matter of question, or, let’s face it, outright self-deceit…It’s a guaranteed fail. In addition, once there’s an expression of intent in matters of empowering desire,seizing tangible reward, or destroying one’s enemies…it is up to the individual to exercise every, and any, mental / physical faculty within them (with or without magic) to work for what they want.
When true intent is inserted into the personal value of the created Sigil, I find that the symbolic nature, the image itself, can pierce into the subconscious…especially if it’s one you’re proud of lol. With focus assisted in part with symbolic gesture, and surely genuine desire, the outcome initially envisioned often reaches it’s intended climax.
Sigils are all around us. We’re bombarded by them on a daily basis. Their creators may not have designed in mind of chaos magic theory, but the power of symbolism and exposure, reigns dominantly over the world of subtle suggestion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigil_%28magic%29For some, the process to create your own Sigil is old news…for others it is new.The first thing that’s done, is the desire one has is printed on paper. Next, each letter that appears more than once is crossed out (3 L’s, use only one). Finally, each vowel is also removed until there is a nonsensical strand of consonants.
Here’s an example…
Mine Will Is Wisdom
Mine Wl s dom
Mn Wl s dm
Now you arrange the characters into a symbol, creation, drawing, whatever may hold significance to you. The more artistic and aesthetically pleasing it is, the more powerful it becomes in being recognizable (memorable) to the viewer. These work quite well in announcing intent, symbolizing accomplishment, and placing a ‘seal’ to your name (which is what ‘Sigil’ means).
Here’s a [very] quick example I created using the name Born Satanist…
At this point I’ve seen many opinions vary. And have heard of successful results regardless, simply because the person believed in it. Some say it must be ‘charged’ , others, that it is folded..put away..and forgotten..Personally, I will keep the original, use copies if needed and then use them in ritual, if part of that intention. Some go to the flame, others are put away… I’ve used binding runes, photographs and written word (all symbolic), all in conjunction (when relative) as well. This is the essence of the personal nature of the Sigil, to use visual aides and create a sort of Psychological catalyst…I’m not entirely through this 70 page article, but what I’ve read so far is certainly informative, should you choose to study this further.

On the Absurdities of ‘god’
By InfernalOne666
This is an excerpt of thoughts I wrote down last July I titled ‘you say there’s a WHAT out there?’ It is a condemning, somewhat rhetorical rant by someone with an agnostic outlook on gods and god-worship to show just how ridiculous all these gods people like to complain about really are in the grand scheme of things we call reality and how they really have no place. It can apply to any god, but, knowing me, I reserve it solely for yahweh. I know there are probably many here that have felt and asserted the same, but hey! I’m the ‘new guy’ here, and I have to show what I have and have come to these conclusions on my own terms – I only wish for it to provide insights.
“If there were a god, why would it be anthropomorphic to the point there would be image likeness between him and us? Why would the god that created everything choose one race to fashion in its likeness and conveniently have dealings with him solely because of that? And how do these people know that, anyway, especially when all interactions with this god happen in stories now debunked by history?!
Why would something omnipotent or immortal that created a universe filled with planets, suns, stars and black holes, all these chemistry, physicals and biology and things care predominantly about what only humans do with their sex life?! Why would it put itself in the position to create constantly changing and hypocritical laws for how humans should be acting, despite our consent, to see whether or not they follow along, and yet claim omniscience? When you think it’s a man-made invention in order to scare people, it starts to make sense. If there is no proof of the actual identity of anything out there in the universe, perhaps that means it doesn’t care or isn’t sentient. if it isn’t revealing itself, then it doesn’t and shouldn’t care whether or not you believe it exists.
Why would a god be so conniving? It seems it’s entire motivation for everything it did is to have humans grovel before it. Why would it’s omniscient, omnipotent, I-want-everyone-believing-in-me-without-any-actual-input-from-me-or-else-self deliberately create and allow the existence and opportunity for the existence of unbelievers only to hate, torture, mutilate, ostracize and punish them for being the way your plan had them be?
Why does this god want humans to rely on him to solve every problem his plan made them have? Why have them not able to think and judge for themselves, why does he want to be the only one who calls the shots and why is it so committed to ensuring weakness and dependency in humans?
Why? Because a god of any religion is an obvious human machination made by primitive people with no knowledge of Earth to control the thoughts and behaviors of dumber humans, relying solely on belief it’s there *regardless of evidence*. To have THAT be the only logistic behind this god’s existence is like trying to admit that it’s a fake. If it requires blind belief and an abject denial of contrary evidence and the incessant excuses of the people that believe it in order to thrive, then the religion can not sustain itself – this was an important principle that helped pull me away from christianity and towards Satanism. The laws any gods in question create are merely human laws using this concept of some spooky, unprovable, but all-powerful god character in order to assert these laws they want enforced over the cowards and make them accept it as the threat and action of death also helps by scaring people and eliminating dissenting opinions. To say that we were made in a god’s image is to reverse the actual image fabrication where we made it in our image in order to glorify our massive egos, provide falsified histories that provide convenient benefits to the worshipers, and pacify our ignorance of various functions of this planet.”
A Dead End Path
By Jasin Elric
I’m not a particularly old soul in the world of Satanism, though I’ve been a self proclaimed Satanist for little over 15 years. In my time of venturing my own path, and having the privilege to speak with many knowledgeable peers along the way, I’ve learned much about myself, and have refined my paradigm on more than one occasion. Knowledge, it seemed, in earlier times, was an endless commodity, and I indulged gluttonously.
As of late, the more I read, the more people I encounter, what little valuable knowledge I’m able to extract, seems to be nothing more than echos of long dead philosophers, or reiterations of recent intelligent thinkers, cleverly reworded to appear prototypical. In my own thoughts, I sometimes find this to be true. It feels as though there’s no more to reap, and all the same to sow; like walking the same mile every day, down a dead end path.
I find more and more every day that Satanism is lived and experienced, more so than it is studied and comprehended. It’s an ever evolving personal paradigm that can never be completely defined, understood, or universally accepted. What more is this than a collection of experiences to either reinforce, or decimate a superior, or inferior definition of what we all believe Satanism to be?

New Pope
By Mistress Babylon Consort
So the world has another new Pope. Will he be any different?
Honestly, I didn’t notice any change in the natural world during the short time the world was without one, but then again I wasn’t looking for it. Why would any rational being? (Wait! There WAS a tremor in Southern California two days ago.) But I suppose there were those who were re-enacting stigmata while the hotline to God was temporarily disconnected, and a new operator located.
While I oppose faith, there are aspects I am less aggressively (though not intellectually) inclined to bare my teeth at, but the world of the pampered, puffed and perfumed lounging in golden towers is where I leave mercy at the door.
I have said more than once that while I was in the Faculty of Religious Studies in university, people got it confused with the useless degree of Theology. Religious studies concentrated on world religions, the psychology, sociology and anthropology of the faith as well as the mythology. A degree in Theology wastes its time on years of academic study that encompasses a strictly literal interpretation, leaving out the how, why, and dark horror beauty of the mythology.
Theology is an education of following, not thinking: Delusional and useless. And it’s these shiny college grads of the pearly gates that further try to justify through a societal acceptance that believes the bigger your debt to an institute of learning, the more you must know and the closer you are to ‘god’….
Satanism Promoting Physical Health
By Apollyon1
Honestly. Satanism is the philosophy of self, body, and the mind..Knowing this is your only moment, your only time in the continuum to refine your tool, which is self. One must take the initiative to cultivate this into a weapon of personal purpose. Physical health and satanism goes hand in hand, like the uninhibited focus for truth that we all as satanists possess. A satanist’s body must be maintained to lengthen the response time to see that our dreams and goal are REALITY. Love to hear your thoughts…
