I use a mix of different systems. From Chaos Magick to Ceremonial Magick, to Witchcraft, and more. I even use my own brand of "Candle Magick." I pretty much incorporate whatever has managed to work for me in the past, while exploring new things. I also use a lot of methods from Michael W. Ford's...
It's pretty similar as the same as LaVeyan. I guess in a sense I'm far more modern than most Theistic Satanists. Like I said, I incorporate a lot of modern views. Such as LaVey, Luciferian, and more. The end goal is self deification, both spiritually and physically and I do intend to get there...
I have read the Satanic bible of LaVey and find myself agreeing with quite a bit of it. Realize that I only consider the possibility of actual deities existing as theoretical, leaning more towards belief than disbelief going by my own personal experiences. It's not so much that I believe it's...
It honestly depends what exactly they practiced and how they practiced it. Remember, I stated that it does vary depending on who you're speaking to. As for my own practices? I've already stated some of my beliefs as well as my views, I don't really understand what it is you're asking? If you're...
This is probably because I buy into the possibility that there was a creator who cast out a figure that is now known as Satan. The same Satan who gave mankind both knowledge and free will. In turn for this gift I oppose the tyrannical creator by striving to be my own God, in essence, following...
No. I revere no deity other than myself. As for where my particular beliefs come from.. a mixture of LaVey, Luciferian, and some of my own interpretations/ideas. From my observation, Theistic Satanism depends widely on the individual that practices it. There's no, one, universal source of...
My apologies for misunderstanding you but "Satanism" does not start or end with "LaVey." While I understand that he created Satanism as it is popularly known today but there are many Satanists as well as organizations that consider themselves Satanic with slightly or radically different views to...
Not quite. There is a spiritual side of Satanism but it's mostly touched upon by Luciferians. You might want to look into the term "Self Deification." While Satanists are called to be skeptical of what they experience, remember, everyone's experience is their own which could lead one to believe...
I feel the need to reply to clear some things up. As you can see my title is "Theistic" Satanist but I don't know whether my views are the same as other Satanists or not. I don't think it really matters. The question in this thread is, "Why worship Satan?" and my response is, I don't. This might...
