Blog Post: Embracing the Abyss: My Journey into Anton LaVey's Satanism
Tumblr media
Posted by Damien Harker | Date: 13 September, 2023
Greetings, fellow seekers of the shadows,
Recently, I embarked on a new journey into the realms of Satanism, specifically delving into the wisdom of Anton Szandor LaVey, the enigmatic founder of the Church of Satan. As a metalhead, horror enthusiast, and lover of all things dark and mysterious, it felt like a natural progression to explore this intriguing philosophy.
My initiation into the world of LaVeyan Satanism began with "The Satanic Bible," a collection of essays penned by the High Priest himself. What initially drew me in were not the sensationalized stereotypes that surround Satanism, but rather the intriguing blend of individualism, rational self-interest, and unconventional wisdom that LaVey presented.
Satanism: Beyond the Misconceptions
Before diving into the book, I had to confront the misconceptions and misconstrued notions often associated with Satanism. Contrary to popular belief, Satanism, as articulated by Anton LaVey, isn't about devil worship, black magic, or malevolent rituals. Instead, it's a philosophy that champions personal empowerment, critical thinking, and a rejection of societal norms that stifle individuality.
The Nine Satanic Statements
One of the key aspects that resonated with me in "The Satanic Bible" was the Nine Satanic Statements. These statements serve as foundational principles, challenging us to question dogma and embrace the idea that we are our own gods. It's about taking control of our destinies, acknowledging our desires, and unapologetically pursuing them.
The Satanic Rituals: A Unique Perspective
While exploring the rituals presented in the book, I found LaVey's approach to ritualistic magic to be refreshingly pragmatic. Rather than supernaturalism, his rituals are psychological tools designed to tap into the power of the mind and one's own will. This practical perspective aligns with my fascination for the mystical and the psychological, bridging the gap between the macabre and the cerebral.
Embracing the Darkness
In the world of Anton LaVey, Satan is not a literal deity but a symbol of individualism, rebellion, and the untamed aspects of human nature. It's a philosophy that encourages us to embrace our darkness and to acknowledge that we are creatures of both light and shadow. This, for me, is a profoundly liberating concept.
My journey into LaVeyan Satanism is just beginning, and I'm eager to delve deeper into its tenets, explore its symbolism, and engage with like-minded individuals who share my fascination with the dark and unconventional. I'm not here to convert anyone, but rather to share my own experiences and perspectives as I navigate this intriguing path.
So, fellow shadow-dwellers, stay tuned for more updates on my exploration of Satanism, the occult, and all things that dwell in the twilight realm. And remember, sometimes, the most profound revelations are found in the depths of darkness.
Hail Satan, and hail the pursuit of individuality and self-discovery!
Until next time,
Damien Harker 🤘🖤

It’s legal here. And, no, I didn’t try the free sample.

Okay I know I have like 2 American followers but I’m reading stuff about Boston English for a project and uhhhh what are your guys’ thoughts on the following:
Calling an avenue “ave”/ “av” (pronounced /æv/) - apparently this is a Boston thing (Comm Ave for Commonwealth Avenue, Mass Ave for Massachusetts Avenue, etc etc) but I feel like that’s absolutely insane if true, how do people refer to their streets otherwise?????
Is the first vowel in “father” and “bother” the same??????? I’m actually going crazy I can not imagine those being the same vowel at all but also who knows what people are doing in the rest of this country

its been like four hours and I am still so fucking salty, crosswalks exist for a reason! Yield signs exist for a reason! People see a straight road and think they can go a billion miles an hour and speed up when they see someone crossing the street
