The Nine Satanic Statements
Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence.
Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams.
Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit.
Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates.
Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek.
Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for others.
Satan represents man as just another animal (sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all fours), who, because of his ÔÇ£divine spiritual and intellectual development,ÔÇØ has become the most vicious animal of all.
Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification.
Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years.
The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth
Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
When in another's lair, show them respect or else do not go there.
If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat them cruelly and without mercy.
Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
Do not take that which does not belong to you, unless it is a burden to the other person and they cry out to be relieved.
Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
Do not harm young children.
Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.
The Nine Satanic Sins
Stupidity ÔÇö The top of the list for Satanic Sins, the Cardinal Sin. ItÔÇÖs too bad that stupidity isnÔÇÖt 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. One must learn to see through the tricks and cannot afford to be stupid.
PretentiousnessÔÇöEmpty posturing can be most irritating and isnÔÇÖt applying the cardinal rules of Lesser Magic. On equal footing with stupidity for what keeps the money in circulation these days. EveryoneÔÇÖs made to feel like a big shot, whether they can come up with the goods or not.
SolipsismÔÇöCan be very dangerous. 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 wonÔÇÖt. Instead, one must strive to apply the dictum of ÔÇ£Do unto others as they do unto you.ÔÇØ ItÔÇÖs 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.
Self-deceitÔÇöItÔÇÖs in the ÔÇ£Nine Satanic StatementsÔÇØ but deserves to be repeated here. 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 itÔÇÖs fun, and with awareness. But then, itÔÇÖs not self-deceit!
Herd ConformityÔÇöThatÔÇÖs obvious - itÔÇÖs all right to conform to a personÔÇÖs 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.
Lack of PerspectiveÔÇöAgain, this one can lead to a lot of pain. 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 constraintsÔÇöknow that you are working on another level entirely from the rest of the world.
Forgetfulness of Past OrthodoxiesÔÇöBe aware that this is one of the keys to brainwashing people into accepting something new and different, when in reality itÔÇÖs 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.
Counterproductive PrideÔÇöThat 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 youÔÇÖve painted yourself into a corner and the only way out is to say, IÔÇÖm sorry, I made a mistake, I wish we could compromise somehow, then do it.
Lack of AestheticsÔÇöThis 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 tool and must be applied for greatest magical effectiveness. ItÔÇÖs not whatÔÇÖs supposed to be pleasingÔÇöitÔÇÖs what is. Aesthetics is a personal thing, reflective of oneÔÇÖs own nature, but there are universally pleasing and harmonious configurations that should not be denied.
