I remember an urban myth about a secret society in NYC that would engage in all kinds of perverted shit from drugs to snuff films, and the Son of Sam and Robert Mapplethorpe were supposed to be members.
I used to live two lives, the stupid honest sap that spent all day solving other people's little problems, and the cunning embezzler who stole as much money as he earned, and spent it all on dancing girls and whores.
When it came to women, variety was the spice of my life, but one girl really got to me, and she said she would be willing to connect me to anything I wanted, young girls, orgies, drugs, jewelry, machine guns!!!...whatever I wanted. But I was very superstitious, and didn't want to go to jail, which is HELL on earth, yes? I didn't want to get caught. I was content to be a tourist.
It sounds like Natina has kind of a pact with the Devil out there in L.A. I'm almost POSITIVE that the Devil has the absolute best parties, man.

I find enjoying life in the moment much more gratifying than servitude to 'God' I am not bound to serve Satan I choose to worship him for my own benefit.
I find that satanic rituals give me inner strength and help deepen my practice, I don't connect them to thoughts of the after-life.... As far as 'satanic magic' goes I am yet a novice, but am learning more everyday.

Not all Satanic rituals are 'evil' many are about compassion and lust. The idea of "satanic sacrifice" is way more myth than actual truth. I am not bound to serve Satan I choose to worship him for my own benefit.
Most Satanists worship alone and employ rituals alone, For this reason the 'Black Mass' is the rare occasion that Satanists come together and worship.
Worshiping anything defeats the whole purpose of being a Satanist IMO. Your goal is to be the best individual you can be. Being free takes courage and personal accountability and that's why many hold hands inside of a Church fearing their God.
There is no Devil. It's theater. Be theatrical.
I've always hankered after the Manichean belief - the self-evident truth? - that good and evil co-exist.
And I'm with Dino too. Religion is and should be entirely personal.
Some of my closest friends over the years and throughout my life have been Quakers. That's an entirely admirable form of religion for me.
LOL! Of course! I should have known! My culture sucks... :) Thanks, Stavros!Quote:

Don't worry. President Trump will put the fear of God into all those satanic athiests, after Bernie's boo hoo babies sit at home pouting on election day instead of voting to keep America from sinking into an abyss of klan/nazi insanity we may not be able to climb out of.

So what it does La Veyan offer? Hedonism, egoism, a dash of Ayn Rand style individualism, social Darwinism, and (in a flare for self-contradiction) self-deification. It specifically opposes the Golden Rule and egalitarianism. Some adherents argue for eugenics. ‘seems like the only difference between Satanism is the libertarian hard right is the mascot.
