Hi
I wuold like to translate in french your website and i don't find any french contact as i have the same view that you.

Diane Vera said...

Three requests:

1) Please don't translate my entire websites. Please translate just several pages you especially like.

2) On each translated page, please include a link to the original English-language page.

3) Please be sure to link to the pages on my theisticsatanism.com site, NOT the copy on angelfire.com. The latter will be phased out.

One of the reasons why I'm asking you NOT to translate my entire site, but just some parts of it, is that you don't seem to know English very well. If someone is going to translate my entire site from English to French, I would prefer that it be someone who knows both languages very well.

Hello, this is my first post (question) so I hope it has not been asked too many times before. Since most occult books have been written or watered down by RHP authors, can you send me some recomondations? I just can't seem to find anything "different" at the stores I usually shop at.

Diane Vera said...

I've replied in a separate post: Recommended books for theistic Satanists and LHPers.

Greetings Diane,

Remember me? I was checking out your website and noticed your changeover to Blogs in lieu of e-Groups. I would like to participate in your experiment by offering my blog for your Theistic Satanism Blog Network. If you recall, my views are a bit different from most. Righ now it contains mostly essays that I had written years back. they have been edited afresh for the blog. Please have a look and let me know if my blog cuts the Theistic Satanism mustard. I would love to be part of your community. Here is the blog: http://theluciferpapers.blogspot.com/

In Light and Life,

Hi Diane,

I am an aspiring author of atheistic lean. I am writing a story, possibly a novel, whose hero happens to be a Satanist. My problem is, I know very little about Satanism. I have no intention of painting either a pro-Satanist or an Anti-Satanist portrait, merely a picture into the life of a man with absolutely no idea what the answers to life are, but who found some solace within the internet community of Satanism. I picture him seeing Satan as more of a Prometheus-like figure, guilty only of handing man fire, as it were, and villified ever since.
I was wondering if I could either pick your brain, or if you could recommend a particularly strong message board where I would be able to discuss ideas with people who regard Satanism in that kind of light. Thanks a lot, and feel free to use my e-mail.

Just dropping by to say hello and to give kudos to you for your awesome site. I've found it very enlightening and educational.

I've got a blog at magikana.blogspot.com and would like to discuss your theistic satanism blog network. I believe my email is on my account, but if not, then it is jecarrol@gmail.com

I'm looking forward to hearing from you,
Jeremy

Sorry to bother you, but there is such a dizzying amount of literature on this subject on the Internet, and I am getting quite tired, so I thought I might try the direct approach. Do you know of any significant Theistic Satanic groupings of organisations in the Southern UK, who have are (a) reasonably legitimate, and (b) easily contactable. I only ask because you seem to be something of an authority.
Thanks.

Hello,

I am interested in joining the Church of Azazel.May I corespond with you privately?This is a serious request.Thank you for your time.

Hello,

I am an anthropology student at a university in NJ and I am planing out research for the next year or two. I would very much so like to speak with yourself about my plans for this anthropological research. It need not be a formal meeting nor do i need huge amounts of your time at the moment. I am simply interested in establishing contact with Satanists over the next year so that I can begin to better formulate where I intend to take my research. I am sure you will have plenty of questions for me before anything happens so I'm more then prepared to speak with you via email if you'd like.

Thank you for your time and for considering my request.

Brandon

Kurgle said...

Hello, I have a question regarding the Black Goat Cabal and I was wondering if I could get a chance to speak with you? If you are busy I understand, there is no rush. Also, you could e-mail me if you want or if you prefer just respond. Thanks!

Hi,
I'm a teenager, and my parents are very close-minded. My father never really raised me with a religion, but he believes that anything Christianity is against, should not be bought into his life, or mine. This isn't to as far a degree as to be against more main-stream religions, but he would never allow me to follow any "darker" (I say darker because that's how he sees it, not necessarily me) religions, let alone listen to anything to do with Satanism.

I was wondering if you knew of online scriptures that I could read, to gain more of an understanding. I read that I shouldn't consider a pact until I am in my twenties and have been a Satanist for many years.

I am new to the subject matter however I was wondering where a good place to find someone adept to discuss privately an experience I had and help me evaluate?I had an incident years ago in Iraq and since then I feel like I have been gently guided towards study in satanism and demonolatry.I have been agnostic most of my life and by no means wish to offend anyone.So I suppose to sum it all up: Can anyone recommend a place for a newbie to talk to others about demonolatry?

TheMinkastar said...

Hi I was just wondering what your views were on racism,antisemitism, and these types of issues that have been associated with modern satanism?

Hi,

On the Infernal Middle Pillars ritual I am confused on the procedure. When you have another sphere at the nape of your neck and say CHORONZON, do you expand the sphere (while repeating the name) over the third eye or does the sphere move from the position on the neck to the third eye.

93,

I read with interest your web site describing the 'Church of Azazel'.
I have known the entity Azazel for some years and I find your supposition that Azazel equates to Satan dubious at best. The scapegoat ritual has to do with atonement and nowhere in the Scripture does Satan have anything to do with atonement. The entity that does sacrifice and provide atonement is Jesus and therefore if you want to use The Bible to make an argument about what Azazel represents, you would do better to equate Jesus with Azazel.

In my experience the gods of Saturn and Venus are overwhelming forces which try to consume one, in contrast with Azazel, who will trade in Light.

I am somewhat scared by the ramifications - but my noumenous revelations regarding the reformation of the divine process appear to be more than idle visions - my retrospective investigations show that they cross-reference with and make sense of the Free Spirit Writers, and of our contemporary 'fictions' can ancient 'prophecy'

I am not interested in personal glory or renumeration, or I would have allowed a 'cult' to form long ago - but do have a strong desire to participate in bringing an end to dogmatic religion and consumerist capitalism through the synthesis of all branches of human knowledge. This can, in part, be achieved by the exposing of the mysteries, for it is clear that they are no longer to be concealed.

I am interested - with such information at your disposal (eg-the exact nature of the reformation of the Sephiroth) how would you disseminate it? Would you publish and stand back? Or treat the revelations as discrete linguistic 'ammunition', and create targetted 'weapons' aimed at particular individuals and organisations?

You can see how both approaches have their advantages. In the end everything must be public - perhaps it comes down to whether I would make more enemies or friends via the latter strategy?

As it is I have already channelled more than I will be able to type up in my lifetime, but I am considering breaking down this information into smaller discrete chunks.

I personally consider worship an absurd tool of organised belief systems, and I am both a Christian and a Satanist - what I mean by 'cross-referencing' in this context particularly refers to Blake and Crowley (Blake depicts an egg containing both Satan and Adam - Satan is the energy and Adam is the oredering principle that forms this energy - together this process IS 'Mankind'. I was not aware anyone else had this philosophy when I wrote 'Welcome home, Beelzebubjesus, you silly boy, the gestation period is over' etc)

I am very interested to discuss the questions of 'how not to form a cult' and 'how to disseminate revealed truth' without claiming personal specialness. WE are the last prophets at the end of time, I am just a writer and artist.

Like some others have posted before I am deeply interested in learning more about CoA. This message is more to just be able to get in contact with you sooner. I'm aware of the main website and have read most of the main pages. I have sent a detailed message about my situation to your livejournal blog account. Also friended the myspace group though the last sign in was in april. I'm currently spending my time reading through emerging religion books and waiting for the copy of the satanic bible to come in.

John Madziarczyk said...

Hey, I'm a fan and have been for a while. Have you ever thought of turning your writings, and stuff by Stephen Bleach and Geifodd, into a print on demand and PDF book? I have experience putting such things together and would be willing to work with you folks to accomplish this, with nothing being in it for me except the knowledge that I helped the project along.

In looking around for good satanic resources on the internet I've stumbled onto a few. One of the most detailed sites is the joy of satan site. it has information pertaining to meditation,magik, and contacting demons that other sources just do not share! i was wondering what you guys think of JOS, I've heard some bad things about them. And i was wondering if anybody knew of any other Theistic satanist sources that provide as much info as JOS does.

Diane Vera said...

Yes there's another theistic Satanist group that provides at least as much info as JoS does: OFS Demonolatry.

Most of OFS Demonolatry's info is not on their website but in their books, which one must buy. But OFS Demonolatry does have an online forum too.

OFS Demonolatry's approach is closer to a standard traditional Western occult approach -- although, like JoS, OFS rejects the disrespectful attitude found in the grimoires.

To all who are drawn to JoS, I would recommend OFS instead. OFS's approach seems all-around saner to me and does NOT include JoS's neo-Nazism.
