My Tantra of Shiva and Satan

[Kapalika]

Since it keeps coming up, and I don't see a reason to try to reiterate what I said elsewhere (particularly since it's so much to do so), I think I'd link this blog post I made a couple of weeks ago.

My Tantra of Shiva and Satan

(In the future if this link doesn't work it's probably because it was remapped, hadn't paid for hosting on a different platform yet so can't map it atm) I'll post a new link if that ever happens.

I hope that explanation is clear enough. You can ask me here any questions you want or clarifications. It's not the best explanation ever but it's kind of hard to tackle everything at once lol.

Also maybe it will help people understand where I'm coming from more often.

Edit: Maybe i should be more clear that my intent with this to present a thought-out overview of my beliefs. The topic of how I combine Satanism and Shaivism is kind of a confusing idea for some but it woks for me. The article itself is pretty general but I will and can address specific questions or other stuff. I figured it would be better to get it all on one topic instead of trying to reexplain or relink everytime someone asked.

Maybe no one cares about this but *shrugs* I've seen similar posts in here before explaining their beliefs.

I think this is something anyone involved in Satanism should at least try to understand. Thank you for your efforts.

Pardon my ignorance but how do you personally interpret Dharma?

That's actually a really good question I've asked myself a lot before (and probably should of explored more in the article given how important Dharma is). I guess, for me, it's less about morality and more about the cosmic principles and natural laws of the Universe which isn't always necessarily about what humans think or feel.

But I imagine you want to know about the morality side of things. In that respect it's an area I feel of two minds and I will offer my more traditionally acceptable understanding first.

Which is that there isn't any pure or impure in any moral or over arching sense (at most, for me, they indicate the levels of closeness to "source"). So I don't believe in good or evil... even though I of course believe in rightful and wrong action, which I would say is dictated by intent.

Maybe a good example would be the five M's. It's been said that one must be mindful of things when they participate in them with the right intent or else it becomes adharmic. That's about what I think, basically. So perhaps "evil" actions are even able to help us get closer to liberation in some contexts, and normally "good" actions can be Adhrama, depending on the intent and outcome. With that said anything intentionally harmful or malicious would be adharmic by definition since it leads away from liberation/moksha/ect by bounding one in karma. Which that itself should be the foundation of morality IMO even if we recognize there is no "good" or "evil" since everything in contextual.

What to me would be dharmic would be anything that brings one closer to Moksha, Shivagama ect. My other more conjectural, less traditional mind says that this could be something we would consider truly horrendous (such as ancient accounts of human sacrifices, although I can't think of any likely circumstance it would be dharmic today). That mind would also say adharma isn't nessisarily "bad" and that there might an alternative "route" to divinity through becoming perhaps something akin to an anti-god (asura ect). What happens to them and how "eternal" they might be I don't know, but my more traditional understanding would say they would eventually reach Moksha too and no longer be adharmic either through loss of their anti-god status or reaching it directly somehow from that status, because adharma can't last forever and only Dharma can

So it's those two kinds of trains of thought I have on the subject. I'm willing to accept that my understanding might be flawed or incorrect, but it's where I'm at as of this post. My views are bound to adapt, evolve and mature as I learn and understand more.

A picture of Satan would be cool.

On a more serious note, I enjoyed your article. Your spiritual practice seems quite elaborate, something you have slowly added on over time as you have explored more I presume. I on the other hand had gone the other way, stripping down and minimizing till most of the conceptions I hold in my mind and access through meditation. Just an observation about the variability of spiritual praxis from one person to another.

Some useful insight you have gained through your practice that may be useful to others in general(I. E. non followers of LHP)?

A picture of Satan would be cool.

Like a yantra? The most anthropomorphized form of him to me would be Leviathan which I imagine as a giant space-serpent that also sometimes resides in some kind of black-watery Abyssal depth (the latter is imagined to be a mental or dream place not so much physical).

I actually probably should of had some pictures of my yantra on there but i wanted to save it for a proper article about it and the various things it represents. Plus I needed to remake some depictions of it in higher quality first too (taking pictures of drawings is meh and I'm not as good at computer art).

I have a better understand of where you're coming from, can't say I agree with some of it.

So I don't believe in good or evil

i struggle with this, i've been using constructive / destructive to help untangle it. feedback?

post a new link if that ever happens

i'd like to read it, and it looks like it moved, but it's not a "spiritual 911"
