ETERNAL HERESY
Satanism was defined as a "sensual teaching." As
The key concept of this teaching was “self-indulgence.”
But if Satanism comes down to just that, it's hard to understand why
it existed for so long and not only as a form of entertainment for
bored, a cover for charlatans and an excuse for the trivial
egoists.
Satanism as an expression of sensuality during the Western period
The Middle Ages was a complete heresy. The Church declared the flesh
sinful. Satanism as an opponent of the repressive church system
truly fulfilled its historical and cosmological function
a rebel against the established order. Fertility festival with
prehistoric times occupied a central place in pagan
beliefs and cults. And suddenly the courageous farmer
has to face an alien dogma that declares his beliefs
leading to eternal damnation and proclaiming the god of the "pale
Galilean." Satanism became the answer of paganism to Christianity
yoke, orgies and sabbaths brought freedom from the all-encompassing mustiness
atmosphere of the Church of Jesus. As an enemy of the church, Satan was
allythose whom she oppressed. If the Old Gods of fertility,
according to the priests, were devils in a mask - well, let them
and continue to be praised as devils. And the very appearance of the Devil
goes back to the images of Pan - the horned and goat-footed deity
fertility.
Even in 1966, when LaVey founded the Church of Satan,
"sensuous doctrine" was still an adequate expression
rebellion against moral stagnation.
However, by now the indulgence of the needs of the flesh has gained
strength. Moral dogmas fell under cloven hooves.
Christian commandments related to sexuality, without hesitation
discarded everything except fanatics and neurotics (who, by the way,
have always been a stronghold of Christianity). Everything except these
few already recognize sex as one of the main physiological
needs that are just as vital for health
human as food.
Nowadays, the affirmation of the "sense doctrine" is just as
significant and as heretical as the assertion of the doctrine of
nutritional needs. "Sensory teaching" has ceased to be
a specific feature of Satanism several decades ago,
when it replaced the old moral dogmas. In fact,
"sense doctrine" is now a generally accepted part of
established order.
Thus, Satanism must move on. However, before
stillmany home-grown "Satanists" continue
perceive Satanism merely as a “sensual teaching”, and
the slogan remains “self-indulgence.” So it comes down to nothing
the oppositional role of Satanism; Satanism turns into a parody of
yourself.
It's time for the Satanist to decide whether he takes these facts into account
or continues to follow what has long turned into
system and thereby ceased to be specifically satanic
(i.e. heretical) trait.
So isn't it time for the Satanist to return to his role as a troublemaker?
peace of mind? Let's define Satanism not as "sensual"
teaching", but as an "eternal heresy". It's time to return to
traditional essence of Satanism in order to reformulate it
creed for the present time.
Just as in times past Satanism opposed
repressive church system, so today he faced
other fixed dogmas and moral prejudices, not
less comprehensive than the persecution of the medieval church against
sexuality. Today, as in the past, Satanists must
become standard bearers of “forbidden knowledge” and stop
to promote what has already become generally accepted.
Judeo-Christian mythology presented Satan as an entity
brought to humanity the forbiddenknowledge; talks about this
legend from the Book of Genesis about Adam, Eve and the Tree of Knowledge. Except
Moreover, the apocryphal Book of Enoch tells that when
"sons of god" (i.e., Fallen Angels) descended to earth to
marry the "daughters of men", the tyrant god Jehovah
flooded the Earth with the waters of the flood, because the angels gave it to man
"forbidden knowledge"
The Greek god of fertility Pan was traditionally identified with
The devil and was associated with the symbolism of the “sensual teaching”
Satanism. But these days the Satanic principle is more adequate
embodied in another character from Greek myth - Prometheus. I would
even suggested that the legend of Prometheus is even more complete
personifies the satanic principle than the Jewish myth from which
we took the name of the main Adversary. For in the Greek legend
Prometheus opposes the tyrant god (this time Zeus),
bringing to man not only the gift of fire, but also knowledge
astronomy, writing, animal domestication,
shipbuilding, medicine, metallurgy, i.e. all those
arts that form the basis of Civilization and in which God
refused a person so that “forbidden knowledge” would not violate
divine balance. Prometheus, like Satan, was cursed
tyrant god. He was chained to a rock where his liver was tormented
eagle Jehovah cursed Adam and Eve, and subsequentlysent to earth
Flood to punish Man for acquiring “forbidden things”
knowledge." In Greek legend, Zeus unleashes on humanity
all sorts of troubles flown out of Pandora's box.
Nothing but "forbidden knowledge" can overthrow
stagnation built on fear and ignorance. Church itself
herself, admitted it: it’s worth at least remembering the list
banned books and persecution of heretics (for example, Galileo and
Copernicus). All such heretics serve the satanic principle,
even those who continue to profess their faith in Yeshua: after all, everyone
they contribute to the destruction of frozen dogmas, to the progress of knowledge
and human culture.
Here is the Satanic principle formulated by Kurt Seligman
in the book "Magic, the Supernatural and Religion" (1968):
"Satan is an individualist. He overthrows the commandments of Heaven,
inducing a certain moral eating. He
inspires us with dreams and hopes. He makes us bitter and
dissatisfaction, but in the end leads us to the Best... He is
“part of that force that always wants evil and always does good.”
Those "Satanists" who today refuse to admit that
following the "sensual teaching" reduces Satanism to the level of
infantile weakness, miserable existence hidden under
mask of hedonism,a moderately pleasant life, devoid of struggle and
eternal Self-Overcoming on the path to the Nietzschean (and Satanic)
the ideal of the Superman, the threshold of the state of Divinity, which
can only be achieved when Satanism re-realizes
its origins. And it must be said that these origins do not lie in
frivolous generation of the 1960s, but go back to the deep
antiquity, and in recent times have been best expressed
anti-Christian philosopher Nietzsche.
The ancient legacy of Satanism is the ascent of the human to
divine (“you will be like gods”). "Sense Teaching"
Satanism in the Middle Ages was a healthy reaction of paganism to
Christian oppression. But now it's time to return to
the original principles, to the Flame of Prometheus.
BOOK REVIEW
THE NINE GATES OF MIDGARD: A COMPLETE COURSE OF TRAINING IN RUNE MAGIC.
Edred Thorsson (THE NINE DOORS OF MIDGARD: A COMPLETE CURRICULUM
OF RUNE MAGIC by Edred Thorsson, Llewellyn Publications, Minn.
1991).
Thorsson was one of the leading representatives of the Teutonic
esoteric revival in our century. He not only returned
modernity Teutonic paganism, but also discovered before
practically inaccessible works of Guido von List and other experts
runes of the late 19th - early 20th centuries.
Nine DoorsMidgard is a training course for the Rune Guild,
The Grand Master of which is Thorsson himself. Step by step
The process of runic initiation appears before us. Scandinavian
paganism turns out to be a no less complex and sophisticated system,
than those offered by the East and Levant; besides, in
Unlike these latter, it is clear and distinct. We will find out that
based on the Scandinavian tradition, a detailed design was created
cosmology, runic "yoga", special breathing, mantras, principles
meditation, divination and shamanism.
Descendants of the Teutons (English, Scandinavians, Germans and others) with
will be able to accept this system much more easily than
esoteric teachings of Judaism or Hinduism, since they
will be able to rely on archetypes firmly rooted in
their personal unconscious.
Thorsson makes a distinction between Odinism and Odianism.
The Odinist worships a deity, the Odianist himself becomes a deity.
Odianism fits almost completely into the “Path” system
left hand." And Torrson himself reached high levels along this path.
He writes: “The Odianist strives for unity not with Odin, but rather
with your own unique self - a mirror of the divine
tasks of Odin himself. If we tried to give up our
"I", Odin would look at us with contempt and disgust...
... The Odianist must stand on the other side of good andevil.
Identifying all polar opposites, finding them, experiencing them
them and thus understanding that these poles are actually
exist only in his own soul, the Odianist receives
opportunity to surpass them..."
Thorsson's system also reveals traces of Nietzscheanism, the idea
"self-overcoming": "The path of the Odianist is the path of endless
changes. A new stage of existence is always hidden from us behind
horizon; it is the awareness of this that leads us to mastery
the inexhaustible power of constant transformation and endless
updates..."
Both an adept of the Temple of Set and
adherent of the Nietzschean-Faustian synthesis, proclaimed
in the doctrine of the "Left Hand Path".
