WICKED WALPURGISNACHT!

Tonight, during hours of darkness traditionally noted for legendary excesses of diabolism, we celebrate the 58th anniversary of the founding of the Church of Satan. Magus Anton Sandor LaVey’s well-wrought philosophy continues to inspire our global cabal of discerning individuals. They craft fulfillment as self-realization, via myriad means, fueled by the world’s premiere carnal religion. While we…

On April 11, 1930, a man was born who once introduced the concept of Satanism to the world. He was unafraid of millions of sideways glances, words, and even threats.

He became an example to many, and to this day, even after his death, he remains a terrifying nightmare to religious communities of that time.

Today would have marked the 94th birthday of the High Priest Anton Szandor LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan, and the author of many books.

“Satanism advocates practicing a modified form of the Golden Rule. Our interpretation of this rule is: "Do unto others as they do unto you"; because if you "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and they, in turn, treat you badly, it goes against human nature to continue to treat them with consideration. You should do unto others as you would have them do unto you, but if your courtesy is not returned, they should be treated with the wrath they deserve.”

— Anton Szandor LaVey

"Stupidity—The top of the list for Satanic Sins. The Cardinal Sin of Satanism. It’s too bad that stupidity isn’t painful. Ignorance is one thing, but our society thrives increasingly on stupidity. It depends on people going along with whatever they are told. The media promotes a cultivated stupidity as a posture that is not only acceptable but laudable. Satanists must learn to see through the tricks and cannot afford to be stupid."

Dr. Anton Szandor LaVey

Celebrating Anton Szandor LaVey

Today, those who have embraced the title Satanist might recall that it is the anniversary of the birth of Magus Anton Szandor LaVey. We owe him a debt for crafting a rational, skeptical, pragmatic philosophy which embraces the human animal for all the glories and ghastliness of which our species is capable. He properly named it after Satan, that grand, mythical adversary of all stultifying…

How to Develop Willpower: A Psychological Approach

Avoid Procrastination

Procrastination is the enemy of willpower. Every delay, every moment of hesitation weakens your ability to exercise self-control. Research shows that consistently putting off actions undermines self-confidence and creates a vicious cycle where success becomes increasingly elusive. The best way to strengthen your willpower is to take action immediately. Don’t wait for perfect conditions; they’re likely never going to come. Act here and now, even if the circumstances seem less than ideal.

Embrace Unpleasant Tasks

The human brain gravitates toward comfort, avoiding difficulties and opting for easy tasks. However, this pursuit of comfort is a trap that hinders the achievement of larger goals. Psychologists assert that tackling challenging or unpleasant tasks builds discipline and resilience. Develop the habit of starting with the most unpleasant tasks, and over time, willpower will become your natural state. This will not only increase your productivity but also boost your confidence in your own abilities.

Define Clear Goals and Beliefs

Willpower is closely tied to a clear understanding of what you want to achieve. If your goal is vague or if you don’t believe in the possibility of achieving it, it will be difficult to mobilize the inner resources needed for success. Psychological studies confirm that belief in success is a key component of willpower. Clearly visualizing your goals, understanding their importance, and genuinely believing in your abilities will strengthen your determination and help you overcome obstacles.

When a Satanist commits a wrong, he realizes that is it natural to make a mistake―and if he is truly sorry about what he has done, he will learn from it and take care not to do the same thing again. If he is not honestly sorry about what he has done, and knows he will do the same thing over and over, he has no business confessing and asking forgiveness in the first place.

— Anton Szandor LaVey, The Satanic Bible

Сатанизм – это свобода, подконтрольная только разуму сатаниста. "Делай, что изволишь – таков весь закон", – сказал Алистер Кроули. Эта фраза как никакая другая могла бы стать девизом сатанистов. Обратите внимание – не "что хочешь", а "что изволишь". Хотеть можно и невозможного. А изволить – значит приложить усилие разума и воли для реализации своего хотения.

Разум для сатаниста всегда выше эмоциональных и инстинктивных позывов – это необходимо для того, чтобы развиваться и быть независимым. Ведь именно подчиненность своим эмоциям делает человека зависимым от других людей, от их отношения и суждений. Для сатаниста, как правило, безразлично мнение людей о нем, если только это не представляет опасности для его жизни и здоровья; сатанисту не требуется быть "своим" среди людей.

Вышесказанное вовсе не означает, что сатанист не испытывает эмоций или стремится их в себе подавить. Эмоции в личности сатаниста занимают свое естественное положение и не подменяют собой рассудок, что часто бывает у людей.

Сатанизм не стремится распространить свое мировоззрение на весь мир, как это делают различные массовые религии и идеологии. Потому что сатанизм – мировоззрение Личности, а не толпы. Далеко не каждый способен стать сатанистом.

Сатанист – это особый тип личности, который не приемлет массовые религии, массовую культуру и вообще "народную массу" со всеми ее представлениями, комплексами и традиционными идеалами. Если под "людьми" понимать толпу, большинство, то сатанист – это "нелюдь", это личность, для которой неестественно то, что считается обычным и нормальным для человека толпы. Поэтому последователи сатанизма никогда не будут составлять большинство в мире, но это и не нужно. В сатанизме главное – качество, а не количество.
