Disclaimer: What is written below does not claim to be complete and exhaustive-
waving consideration of the issues affected. Since publication
carries an exclusively informational and educational character and
is not an official document of any of the Satanic or-
ganization of its provisions remains open to debate...
1. What is Satanism?
Webster's Encyclopedic Dictionary on the subject
says:
Satanism, 1. the worship of Satan or the forces of evil. 2. pa-
rhodium on Christian ritualsin which the object of worship
becomes Satan. 3. diabolical or satanic
actions, behavior or attitude.
[Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English
Language, 1989]
Unfortunately, everything is not so simple... There are several
groups professing Satanism. Since there is no set
ra doctrines or written Source with which there would be
most Satanists agree that the groups formed should
we had to define Faith for ourselves, based
with a minimum of information. The thought-provoking fact is that
historically, most evidence of having
place or imaginary Satanism recorded by traditional
enemies of Satanists - Christians... However, a few generalizations
The following can be done: the average Satanist does not agree with
most dogmas of Christianity, believes that there is no
absolute moral standard and puts emphasis on individual
ality. If this sounds to you like a synonym for the word Freedom,
yes - you are right in many respects: many Satanists either consider it
whether they are free people or believe that they have taken this step
way.
There are several main Satanic groups. Their
dimensional division is carried out mainly on the basis of details
paradigms of Faith, rather than by belonging to one or another
group.In general, the interpenetration of teachings is quite large.
However, a clear division of currents is not easy to carry out.
1. Amateurs: accept Satanic teachings (mainly
nom in the form of symbolism) for a short period of time mainly
for fun rather than with serious intentions. Many
youth groups fall into this category...
2. Church of Satan: spectrum of followers of the teachings of Anto-
on LaVey. These groups believe in individualism, satisfaction
ego, self-reliance and the ideal of the Nietzschean Superman. These
groups use magic as a means to power in the earthly
life. They see Satan as the force leading humanity beyond
limits set for him. Two fall into this category
main organizations: Anton LaVey Church of Satan and Temple
Evil (Temple of Set) by Michael Aquino. These groups are different
both organizationally and philosophically.
3. Gnostics: again they can be divided into 2 main
ny categories
Promethean Gnostics: consider Satan their god, but
They believe that the creator of the world (Jehovah) is an evil deity.
Satan, according to their concepts, is the “bearer of Light”, generous
god The beliefs of this relatively old group originate
in pre-Christian cults (eg Isis).
Darkness Gnostics: Worship the dark forces in nature. This
the group follows "the whims of the capriciousGod", in which according to
fallen concepts can see "evil". To this group also
can be attributed to representatives of some Christian heresies
and followers of the cult of Kali.
4. "Secondary" Satanists: home-grown Christians and
modern followers of Christianity going outside the mainstream
branches of this teaching. Most of them do not consider themselves
tanists and vehemently dispute such statements (as,
than, and some Gnostics), which does not interfere with the official church-
You often qualify them that way. You can join the same group
include practicing sorcerers, etc.
5. Hellfire Club(s): Were a phenomenon of the 18th century.
The first of these was founded in the early 1700s by Duke Warton
(Wharton). The most famous was the club of Sir Francis Dashwu-
yes. Deathwood was a close friend of Benjamin Franklin, although
his membership has not been proven. In any case, Dashwood and Frank-
Lin are co-authors of Franklin's Prayer Book. These
clubs were closed groups on political intrigues like
types of occultism.
2. What is the "Satanic Bible"?
"The Satanic Bible" is a book describing the philosophy of Anto-
on LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan. This organization
holds the opinion that there is no god higher than yourself, and that
only the person himself can be the object of worship. Life -
this isgreat Entertainment, Death - Lent (saying
Christian terms), and there is nothing after life... Ba-
The main idea of the "Satanic Bible" lies on the 9 Pillars of Satanism -
ma:
1. Satan represents encouragement, as opposed to
abstinence!
2. Satan represents living existence, instead of
spiritual dreams!
3. Satan represents endless wisdom instead
hypocritical self-deception!
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it.
lives; instead of love wasted on ingratiation!
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of frame-up
the other cheek!
6. Satan represents responsibility to the
responsible, instead of caring about psychic vampires!
7. Satan represents man simply as a kind of living
vegetative, sometimes better, and often worse than quadrupeds, which
thanks to the "divine spiritual and intellectual
vitiyu" became the most ferocious of all!
8. Satan represents all so-called sins as
actions leading to physical, mental or emotional
new satisfaction.
9. Satan is the best friend of the church, because he provides
keeps it working throughout its existence.
"The Satanic Bible" is a fairly common book on

contrary to popular opinion, the Church there is not exempt from
logs).
3. What other Satanic organizations exist?
The Temple of Evil, founded by former
by former Church of Satan member Michael Aquino. The temple encourages
members to the application of the philosophy of the ancient Egyptian cult of Se-
that on their souls or psyche in the process of Xeper, which
means "coming into being." The goal for individuality is
is the achievement of self-actualization and divinity. Temple
operates in a more religious and presumably more in-
intellectual atmosphere than the Church of Satan. Latest

There is also a Temple of Vampire - a kind of vampirism
ical organization - it seems to be officially registered
on.Nothing more is known about her yet, there is only con-
contact address (I was lying somewhere not to hand; but if anyone
needed - I can find it).
4. Satan is a Christian deity! You (for fuck's sake) are not Sata-
nists are just evil atheists!
Most (and perhaps all) religions have gods or gods.
mons representing the principle of negation - that which is prohibited
created by society. Satan is one of them; I'll come first
semolina by the Jews long before the birth of Christ. His name
first mentioned in the Pentateuch of Moses. Satan was fallen
angel, not god (in the monotheism of Christianity or Islam)
ma).
"Satan" as perceived by most Satanists
has fundamental differences from the interpretations of Christian theory
ology. Satan is a powerful archetype, personifying such
traits such as sexuality, power, individualism and management
control of one's own destiny. A Satanist has the right to choose what
she/he likes it best from the various Faces of Satan and add
this/this is your own or borrowed from others
Sources of principles.
5. Do Satanists practice ritual murder?
There are a lot of misleading publications about Sata
nists: they are united in international infrastructures
cult, they trade in ritual murders in industrial
on a global scale, theycultivate psychologists in their children
ical chaos, they kidnap people for bloody sacrifices
tions, they organize kindergartens and rape children in them
tey... Many books, magazine articles, essays are devoted to children
detailed description of these Satanic groups. (Remember not-
the long-standing sensational slaughter of three monks with a sacred dagger -
crowbar...)
With all these publications the same thing can be observed.
the problem is that they are a motley carousel on the shoulders of a frail fact
ical material. Many of the statements are based on
scanty evidence that other objects might have
clarifications. Evidence of involvement in Satanism is made
under self-hypnosis or in patients with pronounced productive
symptoms (medical term, treated with haloperidol
|-). Other "ex-Satanists" "open our eyes" in the search
notoriety or money. Although we must not forget
about real crimes committed by mentally ill people
against the backdrop of obsession. Persons who have committed this type of crime
statements are usually incorrect, without thinking about the essence of the interpretation
whether what they found in books or heard in songs. This
not a question of worldview, but rather of medical and criminal
naya problem.
6. Do Satanists hold orgies?
But of course!
However, there is no generally accepted ceremony. Thisdepends
from a specific group and is often an event without
a previously thought-out script - a creative process..
7. About abbreviations that can be found in correspondence and
archival materials.
Xian-Christian
COS = Church of Satan
TOS = Temple of Set
TSB = _The Satanic Bible_
8. What about the Bible?
Fine. Most Satanists are well acquainted with Christian
English Bible. Recognizing that this book is an integral
part of our European culture, they are simply considered
they tell her lies (albeit beautiful ones in some places) and treat her
about the same as Christians to books on other religions.
Attempts to discuss this topic with Christians lead to
mainly to flamy due to two reasons (a) poor knowledge
Christians of the text of the Bible and (b) complete ignorance of paradigms
Satanism.
9. For Christians between Satanists: should one feel
desire to preach:
You are all on your way to hell. Jesus will save!
Very often members of fundamentalist Christian groups
(mostly groups of unorthodox persuasion) try to push

nists. It's not entirely clear why. Some Satanists prefer
believe that many (perhaps all) born-again Christians
- hidden masochists; there are opinions that a Christian needs
savea certain number of souls in order to receive a
good place in Paradise (presumably the souls of Satanists, will be
they have already been sold to the darkness and are more expensive |-).
Many Christians, when asked why they do this,
answer: some for charity, some to wake up
kindness in hearts, etc. Okay, if you're really for-
take care of people, do not preach to those who will not hear. They
and so preached to the board and this is just irritation of you -
calling. So decide:
You will never change Satanist via FIDO/InterNET; you
or:
1) too irritated;
2) you look like a child.
There is no logical reason to return to Christianity
(namely, to return, since many Satanists are convinced
Denia have a Christian background). Things like "But Jesus
LOVES YOU; he died for your sins" or "Your soul is in
danger" appeal to feelings of guilt and fear, respectively,
so why... For a Satanist, a Christian is not a mystery, not
secret - better spend your energy on atheists, Christians
an, Buddhists... For masochists we can recommend
self-flagellation. It doesn't take traffic, maybe
will provide greater satisfaction and much less irritation.
