To be honest the main anti-semitic theistic satanist group i known of is joyofsatan.com and other sites their pages are linked to, theistic satanism is not quite what they teach as they're reactionary to a degree although they do by technicality teach theistic satanism. I would not say it is a "fringe site", but the dislike of jew and christian based beliefs is not because of dislike for the people but rather because we are persecuted targeted and told we are wrong by most of the population i would say although i cannot speak for everyone.Kevin Stapleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13545807013221186917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679976441080427489.post-31652611169799912402011-09-02T13:19:18.091-04:002011-09-02T13:19:18.091-04:00I'm curious.. do you have an opinion/reaction/...I'm curious.. do you have an opinion/reaction/plan of action to counter such things as the threat to all freedoms as we know it--Christian Dominionism?<br /><br />I recently watched this video on TheYoungTurks' youtube channel, an independent news channel run by an amazing team:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxBf9q8yV9g<br />(I think you should give it a view, it will certainly rile you up)<br /><br />And I'm absolutely horrified. As a theistic Satanist, I fear for the future and wonder if Lucifer's light will one day be blocked out by a merge of the Bible with the law. They have all the money, all the power, and with the direction America is headed in, they might just have the presidency soon. <br /><br />Does this worry you as well? What should be done? I feel that as a Satanist, my voice wouldn't be heard even if I did try to speak up, considering that even atheists tend to have a negative view of us. Our religion is not respected.

If so, why do you involve yourselves with demons, when they could also possess you? Are Satanists ok with people being demonically possessed?

Not the ones bound by mythology and superstition. From sources that I have chanced upon so far, they are generally unaffected by the full moon or silver. So does that mean that they lack superhuman abilities of physical regeneration? I have abandoned all pursuit of a normal (and sane) life to achieve this amazing ability, or rather, the mystical veil of glamor this more-than-a-man beast has become wrapped in. Is this all in vain?<br />From reading your viewpoints, I must say that other than they being the most logical and rewarding method of affiliating oneself with daemons, I believe that you will give me the truest answer to these most sacred questions regarding the “othernatural”.<br />Thank youUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06560421013707189946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679976441080427489.post-80332406702208272652010-07-14T14:21:18.865-04:002010-07-14T14:21:18.865-04:00To Deady: See my reply here.To Deady: See my reply <a href="http://dianevera.blogspot.com/2010/07/forums-reply-to-deady.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Diane Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627077861196858205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679976441080427489.post-88988601094062827642010-07-12T02:50:20.794-04:002010-07-12T02:50:20.794-04:00Hello, I recently joined your Theistic Satanism fo...Hello, I recently joined your Theistic Satanism forum, but it seems like it's been deserted since the year 2007.

Thankyou for your ongoing efforts to co...Dear Diane<br />Thankyou for your ongoing efforts to continue the development of the LHP in the post La Vey religious world.<br />My situation is interesting - I am an ordained Chan (Zen) priest who has found the Eastern assumptions of spiritual/personal evolution finally too difficult to reconcile with my fundamentally LHP psyche.<br /><br />I am curious as to why groups such as yourself (and the Temple Of Set, and the OTO to a lesser extent) appear as concerned as you do regarding the esteem in which the general populace hold you. I understand the human urge to recognition and respectability, and I also acknowledge that being able to relate harmoniously with your environment enables many expressions that a hidden or hostile stance would preclude, but nonetheless it tends to grate when an organisation that is ostensibly a champion of "elite" or evolutionary values is seen "currying favour", or appealing to, the common populace. Of course, if you do not see Satanism as representing evolutionary values, then there is no problem. However, if you do, then I can only reiterate my sense of discord between this evolutionary assumption and the apparent urge to assimilate with the mainstream, especially politically and morally.<br /> <br />I consider many dichotomies little more than the bias, ignorance or laziness of their proponents, and more often than not reflect a simple problem of semantics rather than substance. That being the case, I am suspicious of apparent absolute dividing lines between such concepts as RHP and LHP, or "theistic" versus "atheistic". My personal take is that the substance of a Deity must include both; if the premise of Deity is not recognised it cannot be theistic, but if it cannot be also recognised as a pervasive energy, of a unique character which contains both transcendent and imminent affect, then it is hardly any sort of "symbol" or "principle". Thus, I would say I appreciate and recognise the possibility of a "separate Deity" (such as Satan) but am happy to accept that God form represents the imagination and creation of Man, enlivened by the real divine power represented thereby. Basically, an archetypal image housing an imageless archetype. Make sense? How would my viewpoint resonate within your understanding of "theistic Satanism"?<br /> <br />One further question, if I may - there appears to be great overlap between various groups that you, in particular, seems to be associated with. What would be the considerations of difference between, say, seeking affiliation with the Black Goat Cabal and the Church of Azazel? I'm sure I should have been able to get that information on line but I seem to have got myself caught in some sort of loop between the two. I live in Australia where we don't seem to have the sort of conditions which seems to have led many American Satanists into something of an "Abrahamanic focus - so the impulse to take on the Abrahamanic fundamentalists is not much of a concern to many of us. I also have an extensive history researching and practicing magickal systems, and have run workshops on a variety of magickal topics. Does these factors impact on whether I should consider BGC or CoA?<br /><br />(By the way Diane, I hope I don't sound pompous and patroning if I say I think your written rituals are genuinely moving, and your thinking genuinely inspiring)<br /> <br />If you could comment I would be very grateful.<br /> <br />Thankyou<br /> <br />Raoul BertelFinn McMillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253873516676226511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679976441080427489.post-33828471798299782722010-03-09T09:44:18.303-05:002010-03-09T09:44:18.303-05:00Could I get the publication information for your a...Could I get the publication information for your article, "About Demons", I need the Publication date and the date of the last time you updated the page, I am doing my Jr. Thesis Paper on Demonology and I need Citations for my Online resources.

I was shocked to find no reference on UrbanMyths.com<br /><br />At any rate I stumbled upon your article on Wicca and found it fascinating. I love your scholarship. I may try to find some of those 19th century works that you sighted.<br /><br />Unfortunately my interest is purely academic. I myself am a Deist. To me it does not matter if or whether God chooses to take any form or no from at all. I cannot dictate or limit God so if It chooses to be Jesus, Satan, Shiva or noting at all is immaterial to my belief system. <br /><br />Nevertheless I thank you for your well written and scholarly writing.<br /><br />Markmarkmagashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14654537574252198576noreply@blogger.com
