THE INVERSE PENTAGRAM & THE MEANING OF SATANISM
|
||
|
||
While it is obviously true that some teenagers, heavy metal rock fans, and
|
||
some immature adults use the inverse pentagram as nothing more than a
|
||
shock-device, such people should not be confused with sincere adherants of
|
||
Satanism.
|
||
|
||
_Satanic Humanism_
|
||
|
||
The inverse pentagram is used by Satanists as a symbol of their
|
||
humanist philosophy and creative individualism. This humanism, it must be
|
||
emphasised, is antithetical to that of the liberal variety, which shares
|
||
with Christianity and other slave creeds the demand for an enforced
|
||
egalitarianism and universal herd-conformity.
|
||
|
||
Satanic humanism, to the contrary. recognizes the primacy of the
|
||
outstanding, creative individual above the mass (a hierarchy of human
|
||
worth, in Nietzschean terms), for it is always the outstanding individual,
|
||
not the inert mass, who has been responsible for human ascent and the march
|
||
of history. The slaves creeds of the mass have displaced the individual in
|
||
favor of the herd, thereby activating dysgenic and culturally retrogressive
|
||
trends.
|
||
|
||
Satanism is unshamedly elitist. this alone is enough to make it
|
||
heretical in the eyes of Christian, Moslem, dialectical materialist and
|
||
liberal humanist.
|
||
|
||
Satanic humanism has been best articulated by Fredrich Nietzshe,
|
||
refer especially to _Thus Spoken Zarathustra_, _The Anti-Christ_, _Twilight
|
||
of the Idols_, and _beyond Good & Evil_. His philosophy of the Higher Man
|
||
and the OverMan expresses the epitome of Satanism.
|
||
|
||
_Adversary & Accuser_
|
||
|
||
The Satanist has adopted the archetype of 'Satan' because the name
|
||
itself means 'aversary' and 'accuser'. Today we are not only the
|
||
adversaries and accusers of Judaeo-Christianity, but of all levelling
|
||
creeds which stifle human biological and cultural ascent, be they
|
||
religious, moral, political or philosophical.
|
||
|
||
The opposition implies more than a merely negative reaction ; our
|
||
stance brings us back to certain _positive_ principles. It is the slave
|
||
creeds which are anti-life and negative ; Satanism is the doctrine of
|
||
Life-affirmed.
|
||
|
||
Satanism is too often defined by Anti-Satanists, and what emerges
|
||
is that which is embraced by the juvenile and the imbalanced. The
|
||
stereotpye is quite different from the reality.
|
||
|
||
If Satanism is to be true in it's first principle of advancing the
|
||
godhood of the individual (Nietzsche's OverMan) for example, then it
|
||
should, to be consistent, repudiate any activity which dissipates the
|
||
mental and physical health of the individual, including excessive alcohol,
|
||
tobacco, and drug use.
|
||
|
||
_Dividing Goats from Sheep_
|
||
|
||
"It is easy to see the inverse pentagram as a diagramatic
|
||
representation of a goat - the points making its horns, ears and beard.
|
||
this has led to its becoming the symbol of Pan, the nature God of Greek
|
||
mythology." states an article from _Magic Pentacle_
|
||
|
||
Satanists have no problem with this defintion of the symbol, for
|
||
the goat and the Goat-God are representative of fertility and vitality,
|
||
implying an aspect of Satanism's Carnal Doctrine. However, the inverse
|
||
pentagram also symbolizes something more than primal nature-worship ; it is
|
||
that of the individual above the mass.
|
||
|
||
"And he shall separate them one from another, as a shepard divideth
|
||
his sheep from the goats. And he shall set the sheep on his right,
|
||
but the goats on his left." (1)
|
||
|
||
That's us ; the Satanist goats. We refuse to run with the flock; We
|
||
will not be herded. It is no christ that does the separating, but our own
|
||
act of Will. 'Creative alienation' is how some Satanists have described it.
|
||
|
||
_The Satanic Mission_
|
||
|
||
The mission of the Satanist is more than the hexing of his
|
||
neighbor's livestock. It is the advocating of the ascent of Man, which
|
||
necessitates being the 'adversary' and 'accuser' of the presently-dominant
|
||
systems which are dragging humanity back to the primal slime of
|
||
undifferentiated existence with their egalitarianism and collectivism.
