Satanism – The Epitome of Evil

Let us not be mis-understood: genuine Satanists are evil. They question, seek to know, and they defy. They champion, advocate, and propagate – and most importantly live, as a way of defiance and ecstasy – whatever is genuinely heretical, or forbidden, in the societies of their times. They cause, and strive to cause, Chaos, disruption, revolution, and thus causal Change. They are the fomenters of, and the agents of, evil, of genuine darkness. They are adversarial; agents of genuine human evolution, which evolution only and ever arises from an acceptance of challenges and the application of the Sinister Dialectic: from the direct causal presencing of acausal darkness.

They cause harm, disaster, corruption, and death; they bring death – and sometimes, or often, before the due time to those deserving of such an early death: to those who have shown by their actions that they have a weak character or are a nuisnace, or a hindrance to the spread of darkness, to the creation of the new form of destruction, the change, of the old. Genuine Satanists are dangerous people to know; associating with them is a risk. Their psyche is contagious: and can break others, or bring them misfortune, or drive them toward inner breakdown or even madness.

Their Way, our Way – that of genuine Satanism – is the Way of the self-controlled individual, not the way of sycophancy to, or obedience to, some doctrine or some person or some creed; not the way of those in thrall to their desires, conscious or unconscious. Satanists do not seek to be “understood” nor accepted nor lauded by the majority, just as they are shapeshifters in character and way of life, who may use and often do so use some form, or some way of life for their own sinister, dialectical ends. Thus are they a genuine enigma, seldom appreciated, in their own life, for who and what they are and for what they have done and are doing.

Their deeds and goals – once they have learnt their trade and become professional, Masters and Mistresses of the Dark Arts – are not personal or undirected, causal, ones. Instead, their deeds are directed, intentional, often detached, and arise from their knowledge of, their understanding of, the Sinister Dialectic: of what is needed in the causal times in which they live; what is needed to radically disrupt, to challenge, to defy, to presence darkness and evil, and bring Chaos and the evolution that derives thereform. Thus do they, so causing Chaos, defy and break or seek to break the restrictive forms, structures, laws, and Institutions, that still hold people in thrall.

The way of ordinary life, of ordinary mortals, is the way of control, of restrictions; of authority, of a supra-personal law. It is the way of those forms, those abstractions – such as governments, and States and prisons and religions – which have been constructed to control, to restrict, to bully, to level-down, to enforce submission. The way of ordinary life, of ordinary un-evolved mortals, is the way of minimizing risk, the way of hypocrisy, of the lies and the deceit and the envy and jealousy born from weakness and cowardice and the dishonour of the bully. In direct contrast, the Path of the genuine Satanist is the difficult Dark Path of inner strength, of joining, being, opposites, and of going beyond opposites: the path of evolved human beings exemplified in one way by the openness of the fighting warrior who believes in their very being that the only genuine real law and real justice is the law, the justice, of personal honour, of a fair fight, of fair retribution, and of being responsible for oneself.

Thus is the Way of the Satanist, the Way of the Dark Warrior who, in real life in the real world, fights the tyranny of those who, weak of character, oppress: the Dark Warrior who fights all that oppresses and stifles our potential, and hinders our evolution into a higher race of human beings whose rightful place is among the star-systems of this, and other, Galaxies.

Eclipse

 

I see the woman from the painting, seated in a drawing-room of spacious, Victorian elegance. The curtains, large velvet hangings, are drawn. To one side is a piano on which a nameless person gently plays slow, haunting musick, evocative of the Adagio from Beethoven’s 14th Sonata.

One side of the woman’s face is in shadow; the outer side is marble perfection. She of the large, dark eyes pours a cup of tea, and sips at it. All is done in a cultured, precise manner. She takes up a deck of cards and begins a game of Solitaire, placing the cards deliberately, pondering each one.

The door opens: a gentleman enters. A slight frisson possesses him as he notices the woman – she of the large, dark eyes – seated there. The light from the hallway falls upon her face, and the side in shadow is revealed. It is pocked and gouged, and on her neck is a scar, creating the impression of cracked porcelain. The man sits in a chair beside her. He nervously pulls at his waistcoat.

“Good evening, Lisa.” he says, a note of anxiety in his voice. “Can you find no other occupation?”

“This please me most, at the present hour.” Her voice is cool and mellifluous.

“But…” begins the man.

“There is nothing you can do about me now, Adrian. You created me, yet I am beyond you. I am less and more than your mortal dreams. By these cards, I follow the traces of fate that fix the future. You shall not harm me or interrupt me – you know it is not in your power.”

The man passes a hand across his eyes, and sighs. “If I could just correct these…” he says, reaching his hand towards the unsightly marks on her shadowed side.

“No, I am what I am: incomplete. Yet more potent for that. Do not fear, Adrian, I shall remain hidden upstairs when your guests arrive. Only you may know me directly.”

The man stares at her. At those dark hollowed eyes that must not be held. For when they are so held, strange and disturbing images arise in the mind; images that cannot be controlled. Nightmares or dreams of seduction.

Most of the time – thankfully – she stays in the attic. On a full Moon she can be found sitting by the open window, gazing into the silver perfection. On those nights, shades and shadows, noises and whispers from Aeons, rustle down the corridor, climb the stairs, and haunt the doorways.

One night, he was determined to destroy her – she of the large, dark eyes. He had taken burning candles, but at the door she had addressed him coolly, and he lost all motivation for the act. From the cold spaces, she had addressed him.

The woman represents, it seems, a door into the past, and future. And at the apex where those points meet, she lives in her strange world, neither dead nor alive, within a dimension that seeps into all dimensions. She is an unfathomable quantity that on occasions fills him with a dread. He will never entirely get used to her.

Later tonight, he will go into his room and write in his diary. Write of the evening’s encounter, his fears – the outer images that haunt him. And he will lie down to sleep, still thinking of her soulless eyes, those large, dark eyes that come from a cavernous dark. And as he sleeps, he will dream…

In the Realm of Gods

The very essence of Satanism is that we can become gods: that we can be those future beings who will be revered not only by our own species, but by other life-forms elsewhere in the cosmos. By using only our Will, we can be the indomitable ones destined to carve out the path to the next aeon. By great deeds, we can be the makers of history.

All that has led to this point in time can be surpassed – all that has made great warriorship, heroism, discovery and creativity, can be surpassed, re-defined and re-expressed. All the gods, all the great figures of our history who spawned gods, can be bettered.

We can possess the one real secret guarded by all our past gods: that those gods are but pale imitations of the beings that we ourselves can become. This secret is the grail that sleeps within the soul of our Western Race, and which so many occult forms have failed to wake.

All past gods of the Western Traditions are rendered obsolete by the forces which Satanism alone is unleashing. These are the forces of cosmic evolution, taking the form of the Aeonic Magickian. The cosmos is now seeking to discard the tired old gods of our past, and is hungry for new expressions, to spawn new forms that will begin the next cycle of history.

Fading are the old Earth-bound symbols, giving way to those of acausal dimensions; those numinous forms which presence now the Galactic future that awaits. Rising are the chants of the stars, the wordless ceremonies, the living nexions that are worlds apart from the occult, from the old realms of temples, circles and runic readings.

The Satanist does not need to study or re-enact the past, and indulge in what has long been established: he is that past, the present, and the future. And each new willed act is another re-expression of the essence, another re-definition of cosmic meaning – another dis-covering of the potency of life presenced in each one of us.

Another reminder that individuals do possess the choice to act or not to act for the greater cause of evolution: that each act can matter, can make a difference…

We do not have to simply consume and pay homage to past glorious deeds; to behave as if we believe history itself had now ceased, or has been rendered the future realm of an officially appointed few. Those appointed few are like the old gods of the past: they exist so that we individuals can, through adversity, discover our own potential – the potential that is really one potential: that of the cosmos itself.

Thus, Satanists do not follow gods. So what then of Satan, that greatly misunderstood living symbol? Satan is not tied to cultural phases, and does not in image represent a once great society. Instead, Satan is the timeless flow of the cosmos, seeking existence. Satan is the grail itself, that secret guarded by inadequate gods of our past.

Satan is the very essence of the striving to become a god – Satan is the arrogance within that enables us to leave behind the archaic gods, and to find the courage to be the new gods. Satan is how we live, how we die, and how we shall be after causal life.

Satan is the word that when invoked presences the very essence of our striving and defiance. As a living Being, Satan desires new life, new expression, and the constant surpassing of each shadowy archetype created to represent Him. As living Beings, when we are living right, we are Satan – both as individuals and collectively, as the new species of Human that is yet to be.

Let us stop grovelling to old archetypes, stop forming fan-clubs for the Old Ones, and discard the superstition and academia that is so precious and so useless. We possess the creative genius to set in motion new Earth-shattering forms, and the arrogance to behave as the embodiment of the future that we, in essence, are. The future implies an upward surge away from the near medieval times we still live in, and in this becoming of evolution, we do not need to seek answers from anywhere but within ourselves.

The future gods bear our names…

The Forbidden Alchemy

One of the long-term aims of the Dark Tradition is to bring to consciousness for the majority the reality of the force that is Satan. This ‘dis-covering’ will result in the upward evolutionary surge known as the ‘New Aeon’.

A magickal Order, such as the ONA, is only one of several forms by which Satan is presenced – and presenced in the most undiluted of ways, without the obstruction of mortal fears. In one sense, all genuine sinister orders are an invokation to Satan: they constitute in themselves a magickal ritual, with each member understanding the conditions required if the long-term goal of the rite is to be attained. This magickal ritual, being founded upon the uncompromising principles of Nature, contains within it spontaneous or unknown factors which defy the imposition of abstract dogma. By this magickal ritual the unique creativity, the uniqueness of Being possessed by each Adept, is allowed to develope of itself.

But Traditional Satanists also understand that uniqueness of Being to be the Will of the Cosmos itself, and thus certain types of individual creativity are Life made manifest during its course of Evolution – this is to say, in esoteric terms, that certain types of creativity presence the acausal. Practically, the creativity/magick that marks Adeptship is nurtured and expressed by individual defiance – the uniqueness of Being which is Satan.

Because genuine acts of magick presence the acausal, the relationship of magick with ‘the world’ can be said to be “wholistic”: a relationship where the difference and diversity of Nature and ’forms’ exist to enable the spirit (or Being) of the Cosmos to thrive and evolve – ultimately there is nothing which exists external to this continous flow of Change; nothing which can be influenced or changed in isolation. A genuine Adept understands this, and begins to embody in their individual life, this most natural of esoteric paths: the way of empathy. As all genuine sinister magickians are quick to point out, this apprehension currently exists at odds with conventional esotericism. A well-qouted example is the qabalistic approach (as sickeningly influential today as ever) which involves the magickian – or more accurately ’sorcerer’ – in viewing the forces of Nature as seperate, often barbarous material to be dominated and manipulated for personal ends.

A highly evolved esoteric Order would not be characterised by this ‘grimoire’ approach, since such an approach lacks a binding purpose, a great and clear vision which would enable members to transcend the personal and become the organic whole of a true magickal Order – an Order which is the life of the Cosmos manifested in a conscious way, and pertinent to a particular moment in causal time. A profusion of this latter type of magickal Order would be one such result of the New Aeon made manifest.

In other words, what could be described as conventional occultism is that which is swayed by abstract theories over observation and intuition, whilst the genuine Western Way – for which reads ‘the Septenary System’. Traditional Satanism, and so on – is concerned with what actually exists beyond limited personal forms. In real magick, there is an initial attempt to mimic the flow of natural forces, until an integration is achieved and with it, large-scale Willed Change – that is, conscious aeonic evolution. Via this process of magick – still the provence of the select few (Satanists of course!) – the Cosmos can progress to its next stage of existence: to live consciously via its manifestations; to evolve from childhood to adult existence. This is the secret of The Great Work.

This path of genuine magick does not involve however the slavish following of some ‘cosmic doctrine’/mandate, or any other such dogma. It involves the individual in freeing themselves from all influences in order to live, or become, the reality of the forces of Life itself. Thus the purpose of the Seven-Fold Way: to guide its Initiates towards the attainment of self-insight, where the ‘personal’ exists as a method to express the Cosmos, and not as a hindrance – through projections – of the apprehension of Life as a unified whole. The reality can only ever be experienced anew by each Initiate, since this apprehension of Life is a way of Being, and can only, as yet, be partially described by abstract methods. Thus each new Satanist – and genuine Satanic order – is a new manifestation of the living essence: thus there is Evolution.

Physis/The Fool

Posted in Order of Nine Angles with tags O9A, ONA, Sinister Tarot, Traditional Satanism on July 11, 2009 by circleofsevenstars

 

The “I” who is the individual human being can learn and practice the art of making mental and emotional space (psychic sinister space), in a situation in which he finds himself. It would appear self-evident today, that our disturbed world still religiously imbued, needs to be ministered to by strong mind and will and not by muscle alone, whether it be the muscles of an individual’s arm or that of an army’s armaments. It needs to be ministered to by dark men as creatures of clear but black thought and sinister emotion and not merely, or even chiefly by men and creatures of hard fist and cold steel. Mind and fist alike are necessary for the better and the worse in this convulsive period of history.

The individual mind has to be trained as such that every Satanist may really deserve the name of “the Black Knight of the Night”. This is truly my “night vision”, the walk on dark and difficult country roads how large and strange it may be, where small and ultimate details are not visible, only dark shapes within darkness. In this is found the looming shapes of hypocritical society, nations and peoples, religious corruption having led to abandoned values. Failing to see the situation as it is – is failing towards our Satanic call.

To map out what we can do, and what the Satanist as a sinister creative entity has always done, we need to take account of two facts:

1. The fact that the Satanist is a sinister stimulus at large in his environment. His words and acting are, in effect, to speak and act sinisterly.

2. The fact that each Satanist possesses some area of influence, peculiarly of his own. His total personality structure must operate as a sustained evil force in the life of others.

To say, “It doesn’t matter what I do”, as long as it is evil, is absolutely wrong. Our evil intentions must be organised. It is deeply important, then, that we find out as best we can what is true about ourselves on the Sinister Path. It is deeply tragic when we get a completely wrong slant about ourselves, and distort the sinister “I” like pseudo-Satanists do in the process of stirring “chaos” unmindfully in order to speed up that which they have not the slightest idea about. In our effort we, traditional Satanists, are endeavouring a higher civilisation to come, imbued with the energies of the New Aeon. This means, our present must change or be changed.

There is only one passion that satisfies the Satanist’s hunger in his warfare against the present world’s attitude is, in the observance of dark integrity and sinister individuality: “hatred”. To reach this end, the mind has to be trained. Sects as “Scientology” also present in Europe know very well how to train the mind at the expense of the victim: brainwashing. Although we condemn religions and sects deriving from them, there is something in “brainwashing”, although we would not use the word. The mind has simply to be trained.

Ga Wath Am, “the Power within me” is great, is the pathway between the Sun and planet Mercury, and they are one. While through Mercury the mind is sinisterly active, filled with Dark illumination, the relation is established between the personality and the ego, the influence of the Sun is either Dark life-giving or death giving luminary. The mystery of the Sun is the grandest of all the innumerable mysteries of sinister occultism. It used to be called, the “evil eye of the ritualistic Jupiter.” The rays of the Sun are made parallel to the six planets of the Tree of Wyrd.

When the Sun throbs with sinister energy, and its contents thrills under the sinister impulse, then the currents spread and circulate, while evil manifestation becomes reality: the sinister man or woman is born. The Tree of Wyrd consists of the Sun as the central focal point, with its attendant planets, which are held in magnetic rapport in their orbits around that Sun.

Ga Wath Am is in fact related to two triangles all connected with the Sun, melting together as it were two triangles:

(a) Sun, Mars, Mercury.

(b) Sun, Mercury, Venus.

The two triangles constitute one great triangle, with the Ga Wath Am as pathway between Mercury and the Sun. The Sun, as a dictum says in France, “le démon du midi” (the demon of the South). The Sun is not only the heart of the Tree of Wyrd, but is a ruling factor in the Cosmos, to begin with the personal psyche, everything responding to the Sun’s influences. The Sinister man is also motivating its activity, and conditioned by its dark energies.

The Sun has a threefold working on the Sinister Man.

(1) The Sun stimulates the bodily cells and sustains man, affecting all the centres of his constitution.

(2) The Sun gives the Sinister Man the needed energy.

(3) The Sun, the Sinister consciousness, bring him to the awareness that he is another God and Satan alike. The Sun is the great dark illuminator of the Sinister Man, and the Sinister Self of personal psyche.

The Sun is in fact too much the undiscovered planet. In the study of the Science of Triangles, the Satanist must bear in mind, that there is always one point of the triangle which, in a particular crisis or “event in consciousness”, is present the emanating, dynamic energy where the Sun is the main expression.

Ga Wath Am is here the completion of two triangles, the building up of the bridge between two triangles by the initiate. It is the transmission of evil forces on Earth from the two triangles, with its two-fold consequences:

(1) Emanating, sinister evocative and magnetic energies.

(2) Two flows of evil energies, embodying the energies of both triangles.

As the Satanist progresses towards the heart of this mystery he awakens to a realisation that the aim of the sinister for him is to build consciously the channel between the three functions which are to him the planes of the ideal, whereon he normally performs, literally the “Sinister Path”.

He builds it:

1. By means of the mind principal consciously applied.

2. Through the method of dominating the personality, with full value of the Self.

3. Through the expansion of his consciousness through dark graded steps until it includes the sinister he seeks to reach, and thereby demonstrating evil as in order to tread the Sinister Path, he must become the Path itself.

Mars in relation to the mind (Mercury) is closely related to sex (Venus), who is an aspect of the pairs of opposites, and its effect is also definitely the vitalising and sacrificial blood. The activity of Mars is potent to arose the entire sinister nature, and bring about its final rebellion, the active fight. The colour assigned to Mars is obviously red corresponding to blood therefore the association of Mars with passion to destroy, anger and the sense of general opposition. Mars is the serpent of evil and of wisdom alike. Mars and the blood produce the resultant conflict between life and death.

As the Satanist has always worked with the energies of Mars, it is interesting to note that Mars has always ruled the Abrahamic Faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). They are religions that have waged cruel and oft illogical war sex and its implications, militant celibacy in Catholicism, the inviolable nature of marriage (except Islam), etc. Mars has ruled these religions because the apostle Paul misinterpreted the esoteric significance of the New Testament for like all truths, had to pass through the filter of his own personality mind and brain. It was then unavoidably given a personal slant and twist and this is responsible for the sorrowful historical story of Christianity and Islam. Saul, Paul through conversion, and as a warrior himself, kept his philosophy alive until this very day. (The books of the Bible have never meant to be one infallible book. Only the Councils of Hippo Regius, 393, and Carthage 397, claimed that these books were canonical and therefore inspired.)

THE MIND

The mind is the faculty of logical deduction and reasoning, and of rational activity.

The fire of mind is fundamentally electricity, shown in its superior workings, and not so much considered as force in matter. Matter (electrified by “fire by friction”) and electric fire of mind meet and blend, making form to appear. Form is the result of the desire for existence, consequently the dynamic fire of Will-to-be transmuted into the burning fire of “Desire” (evil desire).

In other words, the mind is the starting point of every act, thought and feeling. The mind is the seed of perception of the things we see, hear and feel. It is through the mind that we see the beauties of our Earthly Kingdom and sky, music, art and everything. That silent shuttle of thought working in and out through cell and nerve weaves into a correlated whole and with the myriad moods of mind, we call it life.

The dual nature of mind is:

The Analytical or Conscious Mind.

It is the nature of activity in the analytical mind, all the more if it is stimulated by impressions, impulses, desires and emotions, that it produces a constant and often feverish jumble of thoughts and ideas, even self-centred in nature.

The Unconscious or Higher Synthetic Mind.

This gives a correct and clear view of whatever it focuses its attention on. In addition to its capacity for evil perception, it has the function of recognising and adequately interpreting intuitions when they present themselves to the conscious mind. This is the true meaning and function of discrimination, and as far as we are concerned just the “Sinister”.

Liberty, that is the “Earthly Kingdom” of the reborn Satanic soul (Self), making us to dwell happily in the “Abyss of Darkness”, where we really can live, move and have our being as fully responsible and independent humans.

The mind has the higher function of thinking, which has no relation to the body or to the senses. Hence the mind can be archetypally immortal as long as it is remembered, though the rest of the Soul (Self) cannot.

The mindful Satanist does evil for its own sake even though it may perhaps make his own lot worse. But, let us end this paragraph with a quotation from Motley Crue, in “Red Hot”:

Fight for the black shark – see what evil brings

Can’t you see we’re out for blood

Love from a shot gun

License to kill

Can’t you see we’re out for blood –

The kids scream in fright through the night

Loving every bite with delight.
