ucifer. this thesis may, therefore, serve as a commentary on the demonic bible as well as an exposition on deitic philosophy and magic. as stated in the preface to the 2nd edition, the demonic bible is not a work of fiction but is rather the foundation of what is now known as deitic magic. the roots of deitic magic lie in thelemic (as practiced by the o.t.o./a.a) and setian magic (from the church of satan/temple of set tradition, but is also heavily influenced by the septenary system of the o.n.a. it is only by thelema and xeper that one can attain deitus. an understanding of thelemic and setian philosophy is therefore necessary for an understanding of many of the concepts presented in the demonic bible. this thesis will address thelemic and setian philosophy as it relates to an understand

and a new age of fire had begun. lavey s age of fire was crowley s aeon of horus and lavey s age of ice was crowley s aeon of osirus. it was another way of expressing the same truth. the age of fire began in 1904 with crowley s revelation in the desert but 1966 marked the beginning of the second aeon within the cycle of expansion the aeon of set. the period from 1966 to 1975, often called the age of satan, was a transitional period between the aeon of horus and the aeon of set. the age of satan represents the time during which both aeons were active. in 1975, the aeon of horus had finally ended. the aeon of lucifer, similarly, began in 1991. the period from 1991 to the year 2000 was transitional. both the aeon of set and the aeon of lucifer existed simultaneously during this time. the aeon

aeon of set and the aeon of lucifer existed simultaneously during this time. the aeon of set ended in the year 2000. the bright, glorious, and unconquered child had been reborn. it had grown from an infant to a child and then into a teenager. crowley celebrated its birth. lavey sent the child out to play with its friends. aquino called the child in to study for its finals. the years of the church of satan were a carnival, followed by those of the temple of set and its focus on intellectual pursuits. at the end of the 20th century, the child approached manhood. the year 2000, and the declaration of deitus as the word of the aeon of lucifer, marked the beginning of the child s adult years. the focus now is no longer on intellectual development but on personal responsibility and the pursuit o

profound psychological impact upon the practitioner. the reader ignores at his own peril the author s warnings that improper use of the rituals can lead to a psychological breakdown with reality. this is not a work of fiction but rather the foundation of what is now known as deitic magic. the roots of deitic magic lie in thelemic (as practiced by the o.t.o./a.a) and setian magic (from the church of satan/temple of set tradition, but it is also heavily influenced by the septenary system of the o.n.a. magus tsirk susej says plainly that it is only by thelema and xeper that one can attain deitus. an understanding of thelemic and setian philosophy will certainly aid in understanding some of the concepts presented in this book. since the system of magic presented in the demonic bible is a dyna

of satanic worship veiled in christian trappings, but an actual church dedicated to the devil. the church of satan took a position of professed atheism. satan, claimed his priests, was not a literal being with tail, horns, and pitchfork, but a metaphoric representation, a jungian archetype, a product of the subconscious mind. like the 18th century hellfire club of sir francis dashwood, the church of satan made satanism fun while maintaining that there was nothing occult or sinister in its philosophy or practice. satan, to the church of satan was a miltonian figure, a symbol of defiance against tyranny. it is satan who says, i would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven. this combined with the philosophy of nietzche, who says plainly, god is dead, made the philosophy of the church of sat

satan, to the church of satan was a miltonian figure, a symbol of defiance against tyranny. it is satan who says, i would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven. this combined with the philosophy of nietzche, who says plainly, god is dead, made the philosophy of the church of satan attractive to the rebel and the outcast. the second beast in 1975, michael aquino, a magister templi in the church of satan, along with several other members, resigned from the church of satan and established the temple of set. one of the key issues in the schism was the alleged sale of titles within the church of satan. members of the church of satan who felt they had earned recognition for their knowledge of the black arts and their commitment to the organization were greatly distressed to see titles being a

were the gods of ancient egypt prior to the syrian invasion. later, set was personified as evil, the enemy of osiris. one of set s titles, set-hen was adopted by the jews and became satan. by using a more ancient name for satan, the temple of set was able to escape the accusation that satanism is merely an anti-christian religion. the nine angles both before and after the schism within the church of satan, there were a number of groups which split off from the church of satan. by the 1980 s, there were dozens of satanic churches but the original church of satan had become nonfunctional. the reason for this was that, after the cos/tos split in 1975, anton lavey abandoned the grotto system and redesigned the church of satan as a business for his personal gain. the church of satan continued t

s of the adversary. it must be understood that working with the deific power of iblis or shaitan is not a safe route. it matters not if you are looking at the aforementioned force as an actual spirit or as a symbol of the dark recesses of the mind. what must be carefully adhered to is that which is unseen, that when the imagination can adapt consciousness (through the subconscious) with the image of satan then the transformation begins. once the initiate has embraced the path, there is no turning back. one may fall from the path; such is a kiss of death to the individual in question based on their own potential and failure. the left hand path as it is called can render a person mad if they are not able to control their own desires and goals, iblis tests just as he was tested. 21 black is f

leaves a question of subjective and objective planes of existence. if satan had awoken his state of independence, to think differently then could heaven truly be something which existed objectively, even within a spiritual or aethyric sense? could heaven only be a subjective term as would be hell, while what is one to an individual may be different to another? here we see the transformative state of satan from angel to then demon, thus he embodied both light and shadow within his own essence; he was dual headed. peter lamborn wilson, in his essential article on the middle eastern origins of satan25 provides a powerful study of the foundation and survival of perhaps the original idea of the opposer. wilson describes adi ibn musafir who is also known as shaykh adi, who was originally from le

through the clash between passivity and activity, which are both good and evil according to circumstances- that is according to necessity. necessity is divinity in hiding: authority is the divinity of the religious order and liberty is divinity in man. the establisher of authority is the messiah. these mystical philosophers fully recognized the necessity for goriginal sin h, because the world is of satan and man is of the world. man is born in sin; not the sin of adam's disobedience, carnal or physical sin, but in the mystical and spiritual sin of tetragrammaton fs fall. the blame was thrown upon adam, the man, not out of deference to the deity, but to conceal this potent secret from the uninitiated. in order to redeem the sin in which all mankind is born, it was necessary that a passivea

the fruits of the infernal branches and digesting these fruits can adam compel the central trunk to grow, and only when its topmost branches are climbed will adam realize the nonexistence of good and evil, and discover the world of spirit and clothe himself in immortality. the relationship between tetragrammaton and humanity the flesh cells, so to speak, of adam qadmon- creates the potentialities of satan (the demon hordes; and as tetragrammaton is possessed of a horror (a void) when he contemplates the loss of his identity, in order to maintain it secret he forbids adam to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, because its fruits are death, that is they lead to passivity- the magical recoil which threatens the active existence of satan. next eve, the female counterpart of adam, is

important role of those who work within the great hierarchy. the complexity of evil the major problem with understanding evil is that there are many forms of evil and these are mixed together. it is especially difficult when cosmological evil is mixed with issues of ethics and personal suffering. while the iconography of evil certainly appears in all cultures, one of the most potent icons is that of satan. it is a difficult image because most people do not appreciate the various motifs which have been woven together to make the one figure. it is quite clear from old and new testament sources (as well as apocryphal texts) that satan meant something very different at various times. these differences have been overlooked within contemporary christianity due to its desire to frighten the sinne

quite clear from old and new testament sources (as well as apocryphal texts) that satan meant something very different at various times. these differences have been overlooked within contemporary christianity due to its desire to frighten the sinner into salvation. for the esotericist it is imperative to decode these perennial motifs are they solve once and for all the mystery of evil. the image of satan has three primary motifs within it, these can be found in the old testament, apocryphal sources (with some ot/nt references) and within the new testament. these are mirrored in other esoteric traditions, for example, the old testament view of satan as tester is also found in hinduism. these three motifs can be summarised as follows: 1. the satan-saturn complex the illusion of cosmological

on of cosmological evil (perceptional dualism) 2. the watchers evil as ignorance (fallen astral forms (temporary dualism) 3. evil as ignorance (ethical dualism) these three models are found quite clearly in different forms of scripture. the satan as tester image is primarily old testament, the watchers are found primarily in the book of enoch (but also referenced subtlety in the ot& nt, the image of satan as bad mind is primarily new testament. these three motifs are found in all aspects of gnostic, essene and christian literature. for example, the demiurge. the demiurge as saturn is not evil but only the harsh school teacher, yet within the watchers the demiurge is desire (pride, uncontrolled lust etc. all fallen spirits are demiurges, all have desire to leave their station and enter eart

LETTER FROM A LUCIFEREAN

the fate of other, lesser mortals. again, one can detect the undercurrents of christian impulse in the desire to set satan or lucifer up as gods. here, i will draw the reader s attention to the name of the chapter- the "brotherhood" of lucifer. this reflected the view that one relates with lucifer/satan as elder brethren. thus the aim of satanic ritual (in a broad sense) is to identify the power of satan as one s own power to overcome. satan is then, an ideal type with which the satanist identifies in order to unbridle his passions, hone his will, and test his own resolve. lucifer, the light-bringer, is an extension of this power, the power of the intellect or genius through which one refines the expression of one s will. the separation of satan-lucifer into distinct forms is merely a heu

sion of one s will. the separation of satan-lucifer into distinct forms is merely a heuristic device which is used as one moves through different states of progression and for focusing particular ritual works. thus, acts of dedication to the dark brother, are ultimately acts of selfdedication. the focus of ritual work as taught by the brotherhood was to progressively identify with the ideal types of satan, lucifer, and lilith until what starts off initially as external powers becomes intrinsically identified as springing from within. each type expresses particular characteristics through which the celebrant is able to tap the latent power within himself. thus, on an initial level (the stage of supplicant) satan embodies the power of discipline, lucifer, that of [personal] poise, and lilith

re the point that some boundaries if deliberately and carefully maintained, can be extremely useful for magical work. it is such fine distinctions which separate the magician from the mere dissolusethe final volume in his magisterial study of the history of the devil, jeffrey burton russell contemptuously dismisses contemporary, religious satanism as represented by anton szandor lavey, the church of satan, and the temple of set. russell, obviously irritated by what he characterizes as satan chic, asserts that satan is by definition evil. hence modern satanism s effort to recover the positive satan of the romantic poets is inherently meaningless because it contradicts itself. alternately, in the same section where he discounts lavey and others as pseudo-satanists, russell characterizes jim

gra mainyu as god s enemy. this portrait of an evil divinity locked in a cosmic war against god was later bequeathed to christianity. early christianity arose as a jewish sect during the apocalyptic period. the first christians strongly believed in the imminent second coming of christ (within their lifetimes, which would be accompanied by the resurrection of the dead, a final judgment, the defeat of satan, and the end of this world. with these apocalyptic additions, the christian devil remained essentially unchanged for centuries. these understandings were, however, gradually amplified by an emergent folklore about satan and his minions. this diabolical folklore eventually came to be regarded with the utmost seriousness by the church, so that, by the late medieval period, authorities were

laimed, there is no fiber in my trembling body that does not cry, dear beelzebub, i adore you! the conflicting images of the devil we have inherited from the past have become yet more ambiguous in the present because the segment of the population that accepts the real existence of an evil prince of darkness is in the minority and steadily diminishing. this does not mean that the traditional image of satan has been completely eclipsed. although christianity no longer exercises hegemony over the thought world of the industrialized nations of the west, conservative christians still constitute a significant subpopulation. the strength of this constituency is evident in many ways, from the effectiveness of christian efforts to thwart the legalization of gay marriage to the powerful challenge ch

nts of a handful of traditional literary figures who have helped shape our images of the prince of darkness, such as milton and dante. and because of their influence on modern, religious satanism, i included material on romantic writers like blake and other literary figures like baudelaire. beginning in 1966, religious satanism emerged out of the occult subculture with the formation of the church of satan. anton lavey, founder of the church, was indebted to a number of different sources for his synthesis. especially important were: 1. traditional folklore about the devil and various adversarial figures in world mythology. 2. certain romantic poets who, as a literary device, created a noble, promethean satan at odds with the dehumanizing aspects of modern society and traditional religiosity

this conflict, some of my contacts xiv introduction voiced objections to the central role i assigned lavey and his best-known work, the satanic bible, in the formation of modern satanist religion. i was, furthermore, encouraged to shift my emphasis to the work of earlier literary figures ultimately responsible for fashioning the positive image of the devil that lavey later adopted for his church of satan. after reflecting on these objections, however, i concluded that despite his heavy dependence on prior thinkers lavey was directly responsible for the genesis of modern satanism as a serious religious (as opposed to a purely literary) movement. furthermore, however one might criticize and depreciate it, the satanic bible is still the single most influential document shaping the contempora

hristians) associating their product with evil.at the same time, the advertising 3 diabolical is still striking enough that it catches people s attentions, making the devil and hell attractive for marketing purposes. as long as they are used carefully enough to avoid overly offending individuals who are devoutly religious, infernal images can be alluring and even glamorous. this is partly because of satan s carnal associations, making certain portrayals of the demonic sexy. as early as the nineteenth century, advertisers deployed such images. thus in an 1880 french caf ad, parisians are invited to a party in hell. the poster s graphics showed an enthroned, smiling satan overlooking a grand dance by citizens who were obviously members of the upper crust of society. one early television comm

not vanity. vanity is ever the servant of the opinions of others. care not what any man thinks of you, your strength is no illusion of the flesh. comment: the true satanist could care less what opinions others may have of him/her. vanity gives power over one s actions to others who are often of little significance in one s life. on the other hand, the inner strength characteristic of the follower of satan is empowering and liberating, allowing the individual to act according to will rather than the illusions of the flesh. 20. lust after all things of the earth, each in its due course. all has been given so that you might rejoice in your freedom from all that binds the others, pay them no heed, they understand nothing. comment: those who see certain enjoyments as being sinful are truly delu

sin-mentality are neurotic slaves of the whims of others- the satanist is free from these shackles. 21. have no fear of eternal punishment, nor delusion of eternal bliss, both are lies fashioned to control those with no real power. comment: heaven and hell were created by men to control the actions of others by giving them either false hope or fear- emotions which have no power over the follower of satan. 22. enjoyment is to be had in the present, not the future. never sacrifice what you really have for what can never be yours. comment: there may be an afterlife, there may not. whichever the case may be, one should never make any decisions in this life based on what is unknown. 23. do not seek me for a guide, i guide no one. guidance is for the weak and for children, and neither of these

MICHAEL WYNN THE SOUL TRAVELERS

from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, yet in the book of enoch there was no fruit, but instead it was knowledge of magic and the sciences which the fallen angels gave unto man. the relationship between the serpent, azazel, and satan himself gets a tad-bit blurry in--michael wynn's "the soul travelers" 14 the world of the occult. satanists often speak of azazel as being a mouthpiece or mask of satan. occultists frequently tell the story of satan approaching eve in the form of azazel, as if azazel were in fact a separate entity who, while tempting eve, was possessed by satan. this follows the avatar model, where multiple gods are related to a single god and vice-versa. after giving man magical knowledge that was forbidden by god, and mating with human women, the book of enoch describe

of clay, and angels of light. the jinn may come in many forms, but the most common forms are those of spirits, of man, and snakes; there are many reports throughout the scriptures of islam of jinn in human form. jinn are said to cause strife and illness among humans and, although not all jinn are evil, delight in making hardships for mankind. jinn who are wholly evil, and operate as direct agents of satan, are called shaitan, and the more powerful jinn are called afreet. as stated previously, the possession of the jinn is often responsible for the worst crimes ,the worst acts of impulse, psychological problems, and many physical illnesses; headaches, insomnia, nightmares, laziness, and anti-social behavior have all been frequently attributed to the influence of jinn. muslims also believe i

one at the sabbat, especially by the women, is reminiscent of the sexually-suggestive dancing done at most clubs these days. the music at the sabbat sounds a bit chaotic, and without melody; it is frequently described as random tones and bells. satanists often compare and equate baphomet with the biblical cain, who slew his brother able. they claim that cain was not the child of adam and eve, but of satan and a demon named lilith. in the lovecraftian mythos, the black man of the sabbat is known as nyarlathotep, the highly intelligent trickster god who teaches mysteries that lead to evil; he is also the consumer of souls and has a 1,000 faces (forms. nyarlathotep, called the chaos that creeps, is a messenger god who acts as an intermediately between the dark gods and their worshippers on ea

uslims, set and seker by the egyptians, samael by the hebrews, and ahriman by the persians. satan is the god who carries away the soul. a well-known symbol, that of the all-seeing eye, is related to satan and has been called the eye of set. satan is a god of the setting sun and is therefore often symbolized by a black sun, or a sun that is in total eclipse. perhaps it was a time before the merger of satan and hades, but once these two beings competed for the souls of the nephilim who had died in the flood. satan send ishtar to the gates of the underworld, demanding the souls of those nephilim from hades. lucifer, who is also called azazel and prometheus, absorbed the essence of satan; think of lucifer as an avatar of satan, and it must be remembered that lucifer is satan only because of th

er-changing; the things contemplated on in the minds of the angels came instantly into being. this chaotic realm became a reflection of the collective consciousness of the fallen angels, so objects would appear and disappear at random and there was no order. although members of the occult have been tight-lipped regarding the matter of aliens, i have managed to deduce that the ufos are the minions of satan. these ufos are coming from an extra-dimension, but one that is apparently not totally chaotic. these aliens are obviously doing much research into genetics and breeding; breeding what i do not know. horrors no doubt. satanists also chuckle about the artificially created new age movement, and claim satan is behind its creation by controlling these aliens and using contactees and abductees

black man of the sabbat, and has been called the earthly devil. cain is apparently the avatar by which satan visit s the realm of the flesh. cain also represents humanity perfected, as he is both angel and demon. cain is said to be the first born child of witch s blood, and it is he who bestows the mark of the beast. belial [5.10] belial is yet another character who is spoke of as another aspect of satan who rules over hades, other times belial is spoke of as a separate entity from satan. in some accounts, belial was with azazel when he fell from heaven, and was given guardianship over the gates of hell. in other accounts, he fell from heaven before the fall of azazel. he is the ruling prince of sheol, and is perhaps another name for hades. according to the qaballah, he is god s worst ene

ong the hierophants of ceres or diana, of dionusos or apollo, of hermes or mithras? were these, then, all deceived, like the rest? who, then, constantly deceived them, without betraying themselves, during a series of centuries--for the cheats are not immortal! arago said, that outside of the pure mathematics, he who utters the word "impossible" is wanting in prudence and good sense. the true name of satan, the kabalists say, is that of yahveh reversed; for satan is not a black god, but the negation of god. the devil is the personification of atheism or idolatry. for the initiates, this is not a _person, but a _force, created for good, but which _may_ serve for evil _it is the instrument of liberty or free will. they represent this force, which presides over the physical generation, under t

it. that resisting power is satan, the rebellious matter, matter that does not partake of god. to many there were two principles; the unknown father, or supreme and eternal god, living in the centre of the light, happy in the perfect purity of his being; the other, eternal matter, that inert, shapeless, darksome mass, which they considered as the source of all evils, the mother and dwelling-place of satan. to philo and the platonists, there was a soul of the world, creating visible things, and active in them, as agent of the supreme intelligence; realizing therein the ideas communicated to him by that intelligence, and which sometimes excel his conceptions, but which he executes without comprehending them. the apocalypse or revelations, by whomever written, belongs to the orient and to ext

ONYX TABLET OF SET

ocrisy of conventional society- a hypocrisy which seemed most directly the legacy of the mainstream western religions. having expressed their anger both ritualistically and intellectually, satanists found themselves confronted with the challenge to build a more perfect world from the ruins of the old. some initial steps were taken, but psychologically, symbolically and organizationally the church of satan was not equipped for this task. tensions arising between the hedonistic/critical and idealistic/ constructive currents in the church served to crystallize, if not to cause the crisis of x/1975 that resulted in the formation of the temple of set. in the temple of set the idealistic/constructive current was immediately the prevalent one, with the satanic current becoming more of a western-c

d highly critical: it is a social medium in which the individual is forced to exist. while not all of it is hostile, much of it that appears benevolent or even neutral is in fact governed by natural or human forces which are ultimately predatory. onyx tablet: ot.intro temple of set author: michael a. aquino vi date: june 21, 1997 ce revision: html revision: august 8, 1999 ce thus, like the church of satan before it, the temple of set sees society in much the same way as the enlightenment philosopher thomas hobbes described it: a fiercely competitive struggle in which each person is driven solely by personal gratification. professed altruism is merely disguised gratification, as is most of what is termed "love. the task of the temple of set is twofold: first, we wish to construct a haven fo

to the nine you have been approved as a candidate for elevation to the priesthood of mendes. certain procedures must now be followed before the council will make a decision concerning your formal ordination. it is the purpose of this communique to explain these procedures and to set forth pertinent criteria concerning the priesthood. as you are well aware, admission to i membership in the church of satan is granted only after careful evaluation of the applicant's questionnaire. even so, applicants are given the benefit of the doubt where possible, on the assumption that exposure to the teachings of the church of satan may serve to correct personality imbalances or preconceived misunderstandings concerning the black arts. accordingly there is a calculated attrition in the i, inasmuch as so

sesses a working understanding of the principles of satanism, and that he or she is endeavoring- within personal capability- to put these principles into practice. confirmation of the ii is undertaken with such care that the attrition rate is practically nonexistent. the ii is regarded by the nine as the highest recognition of magical expertise that may be bestowed upon a lay member of the church of satan. ordination to the priesthood of mendes involves considerations so complex that a summary treatment of them is impossible. without a doubt the satanic priesthood is far more difficult to attain than the priesthood of any conventional church. taken into consideration are the candidate's past achievements, present activities, future potential, onyx tablet: ot.o.4.7 temple of set author: mic

s subsequent development into the setian philosophy of michael a. aquino. before i begin, however, i think that it is important to dispense with a number of misconceptions concerning satanic philosophy. by the term satanism, i refer specifically to the philosophy of anton lavey, as set forth in his books the satanic bible, the satanic rituals, and the compleat witch, and as espoused by the church of satan. the first principle2 of this philosophy is indulgence3 [anton lavey, the satanic bible; michael a. aquino, the church of satan; and a great emphasis is placed upon the carnal aspect of man, which the satanist feels to have been not only neglected by conventional religions but also actively repressed, at the cost of inducing a great many neuroses and much unnecessary suffering. in a broad

individual existence, affirming that existence, rather than denying it by adopting as its highest value something external to it, and placing ethical responsibility and the responsibility for self-validation upon the individual. bibliography. aquino, michael a, the book of coming forth by night. san francisco: temple of set. aquino, the diabolicon. san francisco: temple of set. aquino, the church of satan. san francisco: temple of set, 1983 c.e. aquino, the crystal tablet of set. san francisco, temple of set, 1986 c.e. blake, william, a marriage of heaven and hell. crowley, aleister, liber legis (the book of the law. lavey, anton s, the satanic bible. new york: avon books, 1969 c.e. lavey, the satanic rituals. new york: avon books, 1972 c.e. lavey, the compleat witch. new york: dodd, mead
