How does Aleister Crowley fit into non-theistic Satanism?

Aleister Crowley is often associated with non-theistic Satanism because of his philosophical and spiritual beliefs, which encompassed a range of ideas about the nature of reality and the self. Crowley was a British occultist and mystic who founded the religious philosophy of Thelema, which emphasizes personal freedom and the attainment of individual spiritual enlightenment. While Crowley’s beliefs are complex and multifaceted, they can be summed up in a few key points: While these beliefs may not explicitly involve Satan or any other deity, they do share some commonalities with non-theistic Satanism. For example, both Crowley’s philosophy and non-theistic Satanism emphasize the importance of personal freedom and self-expression. However, it is important to note that Crowley himself did not identify as a Satanist and Thelema does not involve the worship of Satan or any other religious figure. In fact, Crowley often criticized organized religion in general and sought to create a new spiritual philosophy that focused on individualism rather than dogma […]

The mediocre rise and quick fall of the Illuminati

Let’s keep in mind, the Illuminati lasted for 10 years, had no more than 2000 members, and basically failed and real sociatal penetration. They were eclipsed by Freemasonry at every turn, going so far as to stealing their “secrets” and members. But, yet here was are still talking about them 200 years later… The Illuminati is a secretive and mysterious organization that has fascinated historians, scholars, and conspiracy theorists for centuries. Founded in Bavaria in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, the Illuminati was a secret society devoted to promoting enlightenment ideals and rational thought. With its secretive nature and subversive activities, the group became the subject of suspicion and intrigue, eventually leading to its demise. The Illuminati was founded on May 1, 1776, by Adam Weishaupt, a professor of canon law at Ingolstadt University in Bavaria. He sought to create a secret society that would spread the ideals of the Enlightenment, including free inquiry and rational thought. The group was small […]

Can non-theistic Satanism develop personal identify and self-esteem?

Will AI prove there is no God?

Since the Christians ban and outlaw everything that, “attacks,” their fragile belief system, how long until AI is banned, or at least they sue to remove any and all religious references that dispel the myth of God? They’ve done this sort of thing before by banning non-Biblical studies in the classroom. Will they sue AI server companies for libel or make their lives a nightmare because of their religious answers? Will parents block AI sites so their kids can’t ask religious questions to an “unbiased” computer? Currently, you can get some interesting answers from AI about religious text and ideas. However, there are some topics it won’t answer, or at least it gives the response similar to, “religion is a matter of personal faith and should be respected.” Religion is a touchy subject at the best of times, and there is still a lot of misinformation being fed into AI about Satanism and other beliefs. As of right now though, […]

And so begins the “Monkey Trial”

This is still the MO of the Christians. When they don’t like something, they don’t want people to disagree with their mindset, or they don’t want to look stupid, they make any opposing argument or idea illegal. Obviously, they’re still playing this game. But, think about this for a moment. It was illegal to not take the nonsensical teachings of the Bible as absolute truth. It was illegal to say, “No, this doesn’t make a damn bit of sense, nor is there any evidence to support it.” While the $100 fine ($1500+ today) isn’t a staggering amount, that is a pretty hefty price to pay for not believing in fairy tales. The “Monkey Trial” was a landmark legal case that took place in 1925 in the United States in Dayton, Tennessee. The case, officially titled The State of Tennessee v. John T. Scopes, centered around the issue of whether or not it was legal to teach the theory of evolution […]

What does it mean to follow the principles of non-theistic Satanism?

To reiterate, non-theistic Satanism is a spiritual philosophy or belief system that does not recognize the existence of a supernatural being referred to as Satan. Satan is viewed as a metaphorical representation of personal empowerment, individualism, anti-authoritarianism and rebellion. Most non-theistic Satanists share certain principles, such as: To follow the principles of non-theistic Satanism means to embrace these guiding principles as a means of improving one’s life and asserting one’s individuality while rejecting religious dogma or supernatural beliefs. Non-theistic Satanists often develop their own rituals and practices, ranging from meditation and self-reflection to symbolically-informed ritual magic.

The main philosophy of non-theistic Satanism

Satanism is a diverse and complex set of religious beliefs and philosophies which have been developed over centuries. It is often associated with dark and sinister images, but its core philosophy is actually rather simple: freedom of thought, self-expression, and personal responsibility. Satanism does not have a single central authority, so the beliefs and practices of each individual Satanist can vary significantly. However, there are a few common themes that all Satanists share. One of the most important tenets of Satanism is personal responsibility. Satanists believe that each individual is responsible for their own actions and destiny, and that no external authority should be able to control them. This means that Satanists reject the idea of a higher power such as God, and instead rely on their own will and resources to make their own decisions. Another important aspect of Satanism is the rejection of superstitious or irrational belief systems. Satanists believe that only logical and rational thought can lead […]

What’s difference between non-theistic Satanism and Humanism?

Non-theistic Satanism and Humanism are two different philosophical movements that share some similarities but have important differences. Non-theistic Satanism is a belief system that does not involve the worship of any deity or supernatural being, including Satan. Instead, it uses the symbol of Satan as a representation of rebellion against oppressive authority and an individual’s autonomy and freedom to make their own choices. Non-theistic Satanists often reject traditional religious beliefs, embrace self-love, rationalism, personal freedom. They use reason and science to understand the world around them. On the other hand, Humanism is a rational and secular philosophy that emphasizes the importance of human values, dignity, and autonomy. Humanists prioritize reality, evidence, and reason, rejecting supernaturalism and dogmatic beliefs. They believe that humans have the responsibility to create meaning and purpose in their lives, rooted in empathy, compassion, and ethical principles. Humanism promotes human flourishing, social justice, and personal fulfillment. The main difference between non-theistic Satanism and Humanism is their focus. […]

Theistic Satanism

To reiterate, in my view, theistic Satanism is more closely aligned with what many people would consider “devil worship.” There is nothing wrong with, to each their own, but theistic Satanism holds there to be a real Satan, just as there is a real God, and is an object of worship. I do not subscribe to the idea of theistic Satanism as I do not believe in or worship any sort of deity. But, the terms and ideas are getting lumped together, and that’s not correct. The term “theistic Satanist” is used to describe individuals and organizations that ascribe to a belief system in which Satan, or a similar entity, is considered to be a divine being, an object of worship and/or veneration, and an inspirational force. The beliefs and practices of these groups vary greatly and range from a strictly atheistic view of the supernatural to an elaborate spiritual structure that includes deities, rituals, and a hierarchy of demons.

To be clear, it’s non-theistic Satanism

I’ve seen it referenced in several places, so it’s worth pointing out that there is a difference between non-theistic Satanism and theistic Satanism. Not everyone makes the distinction, but when I use the term Satanism, it specifically means – non-theistic Satanism. There is no belief in a literal, or supernatural Satan. Non-theistic Satanism is a spiritual philosophy or belief system that does not recognize the existence of a supernatural being referred to as Satan. In this context, Satan is viewed as a metaphorical representation of personal empowerment, individualism, anti-authoritarianism and rebellion. Non-theistic Satanism is a modern and diverse movement, but most non-theistic Satanists share certain principles, such as: To follow the principles of non-theistic Satanism means to embrace these guiding principles as a means of improving one’s life and asserting one’s individuality while rejecting religious dogma or supernatural beliefs. Non-theistic Satanists often develop their own rituals and practices, ranging from meditation and self-reflection to symbolically-informed ritual magic. It’s important to […]
