PUSHING UP DAISIES IS THE FIRST STEP TO GROWING A FOREST messiah_of_the_net didst write: > Satanism is not for everybody. You have to find your religion. Satanism includes anti-religion, anti-stupidity, and is adversarialism toward failure. Satanism can't be for everybody. Satanism is a SECONDARY, reactionary movement inspired by heavy-handed practice of moralistic and restrictive religions and cultures (rising in opposition or contrast to them; consider the Yezidis and the Virasaiva saints (see http://www.luckymojo.com/avidyana/shaitan/files/tokus/9607.stnsiva.tn). I suspect there are individual and group repression parallels, though I'm not aware of any studies conducted to ascertain the accuracy of this hypothesis. the psychological Shadow yields value in my study, in academic and personal scopes. see, e.g., Connie Zweig and Jeremiah Abrams ("Meeting the Shadow: The Hidden Power of the Dark Side of Human Nature", May 1991, New Consciousness Reader) or Kenneth Grant (e.g. "Cults of the Shadow", and others, by SkooB BookS, concerning the dark side of post-Crowleyan Thelema). > Is it a religion or more of a state of mind? it is NEITHER. it is contrary to religion as it defeats the reason for religious indoctrination and moralism: adherence to principles of individualism and responsible revolution against the errors of the Herd (for example our inexcusable treatment of other species). > It's a little of both. Any religion is a little of both. Satanism is in opposition to stupidity given attention and power, and it requires some kind of positive view of Satan to have significance as any kind of individual spirituality or community of adepts by this name. Setians have a history with the term, but have sometimes separated, denying important connections with Satan as compared with Set. blessed beast!
