Or do you want to know what a satanist is? Well, the answers will be found her . This is a course for beginners. The more skilled one can fuck off and read something else. I will only tell how to be a Satanist as a follower of Anton Szandor LaVey, and not as a devil-worshipping jerk that sacrifices young virgins. I will only do it briefly, tell you the basics, so if you want to know more, go to http://www.churchofsatan.com. I will now try to combine clothing style, music and the rules of being a satanist. Ok, first of all, to be a Satanist, you should dress like one. Have style. The basic color is of course BLACK (and due to that fact, it`s even better if you are black skinned). You can use other colors like red and purple, but it must match, so you have the gloomy look. Your hair should be long, and colored black. You also can be shaved. Spikes and leather jackets gives you a raw and primitive look. But you can try to look a little mystical. Wear a black coat or something. Black latex will never run out of date when you are a satanist. And always use army boots, or something look-a-like. If you are white, make sure your face is as pale as it can be. Never take sun. That ruins your evil look. Some people thinks it`s funny to use corpse painting...but if your walking in mall or something with corpse painting, your stupid...and remeber, it`s no sin to be original... You should also listen to so called dark, moody n Satanic music that get u in a dark and gloomy mood, and I don`t mean a stupid a g1mp like Marilyn Manson (many will maybe disagree, but he`s nothing but a jerk off to me. A false rip off). Listen to classical music. Listen to brutal music from the north, black metal. The most famous ones that is worth a mention is Mayhem, Darkthrone, Immortal, Emperor, Enslaved, Vintersorg, Satyricon, early Ulver, Finntroll....blablabla...well, at least you have something to start with? Well, if you got the clothing style and maybe even started to like the so called "satanic" music, we are now ready for the the lesson on how to behave and act. I will now take up "The Nine Satanic Statements", "The Elven Satanic Rules of the Earth" and "The Nine Satanic Sins". When you have read these, and if you still are interested in being a Satanist, buy the Satanic Bible and visit http://www.churchofsatan.com, as mentioned somewhere above. Okay, here we go: The Nine Satanic Statements from The Satanic Bible by LaVey 1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence! 2. Satan represents vital exitstence instead of spritual pipe dreams! 3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self- deceit! 4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates! 5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek! 6. Satan represents responsibility tho the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires! 7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all fours, who, because of his "divine spiritual and intellectual development," has become the most vicious animal of all! 8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification! 9. 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 by LaVey 1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked. 2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them. 3. When in another`s lair, show him respect or else do not go there. 4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy. 5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal. 6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved. 7. 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. 8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself. 9. Do not harm little children. 10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you you are attacked or for your food. 11. 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 by LaVey 1. Stupidity - The top of the list for Satanic sins. The Cardinal Sin of Satanism. It`s too bad 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 cardianl 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 reactoins, responses and sensibilities onto someone who is probably far less attuned than you are. It is the mistake of expecting to people 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 requiers constant vigiliance lest you slip into a comfortable illusion of everyone being like you. As has been said, certain utopias would be ideal in 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 cardianl 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 dicate to you. The key is to choose a master wisely instead of being a 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 thingd 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 have 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 in 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 effectivness. 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, I was planning to do a littel satanic history here, but I won`t. I`m tired of writing this article, but I hope you read it and found at least some of it interesting, or even better, got provoked by it.
