"Enter the temple of the Dragon, that is where you will find me. Like candles of crimson red signify my fire. You are the one. Come. Come to me. I am the ancient one whom you call Satan. By many names I am known. Acquaint yourself with each one. Understand my traits. Realise my desires. "I am the one who has existed since the beginning; the primordial  one. Sacrifice unto me. Bring me offerings of the finest quality. Your devotion is evident to me. Rejoice, for I have chosen you. As the years pass, become like me. Behold! I make the mountains tremble and the earth split apart. No one can get in my way. I am the mighty lord Satan."

At Satan's Altar: A Collection of Prayers, Chants, Affirmations, Hymns, and Rituals by Marie RavenSoul

Title: At Satan's Altar: A Collection of Prayers, Chants, Affirmations, Hymns, and Rituals

Author: Marie RavenSoul

Publisher: ‎ In Satan's Honour Press

Publishing Date: February 28, 2018

ISBN-10‏: ‎ 1775262405

ISBN-13: ‎ 978-1775262404

Last post was a popular atheist text, so I suppose it's appropriate that now we move on to a popular theist text.

Marie RavenSoul is a modern Satanic author and youtuber, her channel can be found here. Her website, In Satan's Honour, can be found here. To my knowledge she is not affiliated with any group but her dedication in this book gives thanks to a "Brother Nero," who I believe may be the same Brother Nero who authored Satanism: A Beginner's Guide to the Religious Worship of Satan and Demons.

At Satan's Altar's subtitle is an apt summary of its content. RavenSoul is not here to provide moral counsel or wax poetic about philosophy, but to provide the tools of a theistic Satanic practice, including hymns, prayers, and rituals. The cover and interior also feature several illustrations, by artists Amanda MacNeil and Letitia Pfinder.

The book is divided into two sections, the first half being dedicated to devotional writings such as chants and prayers, and the second half being more instructional, revolving around rituals and practices the theistic Satanist might partake in. The instructional portion may prove useful to newcomers who have basic questions, such as how to pray, or how to structure a ritual. The Nine Days of Solitude Devotional may be difficult for anyone who is young or in a controlling environment, but could prove beneficial for more experienced Satanists who wish to do something more intensive than daily prayer or a one-off rite.

It is worth noting that RavenSoul calls Satan by other names, such as Lucifer and Baphomet, which some theistic Satanists may consider to be separate demons, rather than other names for Satan himself. She also refers to Satan as "father," a dynamic which may or may not ring true for other Satanists. At Satan's Altar is available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble. [DISCLAIMER: The Devil's Library is not affiliated with any of the previously mentioned groups or authors. It is an independent project by a single Satanist. Do not mistake my mentioning of an author or group as endorsement for their beliefs and practices.]

Click below for my personal thoughts on the book.

RavenSoul is a talented writer and her dedication to Satan is admirable. While her rather fatherly interpretation of Satan isn't for me personally, I'm sure those Satanists who do see our lord as a father figure would take great comfort in certain pieces of her writing.

However there is an aspect of the book which rubs me the wrong way personally, and that is the matter of cultural misappropriation. RavenSoul conflates Satan with religious figures from a couple of other faiths, namely Iblis and Tawûsî Melek (spelled Melek Ta'us in the book). While I can see why someone would compare these figures to Satan at first glance, my research tells me it is inaccurate and perhaps unwise to do so. Iblis comes from Islam, and while he is a fallen angel and the leader of devils, equating him with the Christian Satan is ignorant and potentially appropriation. More seriously, equating Tawûsî Melek, the peacock angel of the Yazidi religion, to Satan is directly racist and harmful. Yazidis have a history of persecution, and being wrongfully accused of being devil-worshipers is part of that history. Furthermore, Yazidism is very much closed to outsiders (one cannot even marry into the religion, but must be born into it), so making use of their religious figure for Satanic writings is rude and inconsiderate, at the very least. RavenSoul doesn't just make use of Tawûsî Melek's name and image, but references the Al Jilwah, a book which claims to hold authentic Yazidi scripture, but is of dubious origins.

In addition to these comparisons, RavenSoul also conflates Satan with gods like Pan and Set, and while those gods come from open religions, some may not enjoy such comparisons.

I know RavenSoul's work is popular amongst my fellow theists, and I never aim to tell my readers what to do in these review sections. These are my thoughts and only my thoughts, not instructions on where you should draw the line on which books you will or won't make use of.

I refused to comment on the Marie Ravensoul situation for a minute because frankly, I didn't care that much that she had reverted, but to hear that she's now making videos specifically with the intention to further harm the community is truly distressing, so here are my thoughts on the matter: Marie is clearly a very deeply hurt individual who is still struggling to find her way, unfortunately she has decided to make that all of our problem and if anyone anywhere should be worried about pissing Satan off right now it should be her.

As I was writing this I stopped for a moment to look up her new account and unholy Hell, I'm not sure she ever knew what she was talking about. In reading through the psychotic babbling she posted on her new YouTube, she has very clearly cherry picked random crap from 12 year olds on the internet and was using that to make her basis.

I will make this very clear, there would be no Satanism without the Bible, in that you cannot erase the fact that Satan gets his origins from the Bible just because you don't like it. I'm not telling you that you have to read the Bible cover to cover, though you should as a part of truly deconstructing, but that you can't just change the story because it fits the narrative you want to push. Stop taking religious advice solely from the internet, including me, and there would be less people like Marie.

Be smart.

Ave Satanas.

Thoughts on Marie Ravensoul.

So If you haven’t heard of it already, Marie Ravensoul a popular theistic satanist author who makes YouTube videos and art, recently left the internet and pulled back her books from Amazon and deleted her channel. She left without any reason onto why. A few weeks ago in late June. She posted on an account with her face on it saying how she converted back to Christianity and goes on to make several video onto why satanism and the occult is evil and how she regrets making those videos and teaching people theistic satanism. Note that she was first a Christian and then became a theistic satanist only to be a Christian again. Many of Marie’s fan and close friends were distraught by this news and a lot of people are mad at her. Now what is my thoughts and opinions? I personally was shock by this because I wouldn’t have expected it from her the person who made videos on “deconstructing Christianity” and “how to get over the fear of hell” when you reach the point in your journey where you’ve learned the truth about the Abrahamic faiths, it’s rare you go back to it, at least in the forms of religion. I’m not saying however you can’t as I have seen some LhP and satanic people turn to the RHP and work with angels and Yahweh. But this is her going back into the toxic Christian when she’s “deconstructed” her old faith. I’m not mad at Marie but I would love for her to explain on what was the process like for her when she thought Christianity was right for her. I personally think there are a lot of factors to why she converted. When people grow old and age the fear of death and the afterlife really gets to you. After all Christianity is all about death and whatever comes next but I think that fear of hell really got to her because truly deep down she didn’t deconstruct for shit unironically she made a video on getting over the fear but now fears it. Now this goes to deconstructing her faith because she’s known what real occultism is like and how Christianity is made of lies and yet goes back to it. I think this is a byproduct of her not really understanding what she is doing. Although she may think she’s fully broken down her old faith deep down it’s still roaring at her that it’s real. My friend told me also that when you try to let spirituality and religion find who you are and your sense of self, and when it fails to do so you go religion hopping which isn’t right. You yourself have to find who you are, religion and spirituality may help but it can’t completely make up for anything you are.

Hail Lord God Satan!

The completed prayer card 🖤 The affirmation on the back is from Marie Ravensoul's book "At Satans Altar"

[solomanta]

"Lord Satan, awesome in beauty, you have always guided me through the vile storms and wrenched winds, lead me on paths I did not always want to tread, yet for that I am stronger and wiser. It is not upon the easy roads that I will gain knowledge, and it is not the shortest walk that will make me a Warrior. I have fallen, yet risen. Yet that is the way of battle. I can regret nothing, as everything has it's purpose. Would I ask you for life to be simpler, an outcome of stagnancy and waste, only to be trampled upon by your enemies; I would never desire such! So I accept your ways; your tests and battles. I will walk the path of a Warrior, and accept no other. Hail, hail, hail Lord Satan!"

MARIE RAVENSOUL

If you are a true Satanist then you know who MARIE RAVENSOUL was. She was devote Satanist who had a You Tube Channel devoted in the worship of SATAN. She even wrote a book about Satanism and SATAN. This statement may shock some of you. I found it hard to believe so I checked it out myself and it is TRUE MARIE RAVENSOUL has returned to being a follower of that Enemy of SATAN'S. Yes MARIE RAVENSOUL is now a Follower of Jesus Christ . QUESTION---Does anyone know what happened to cause MARIE RAVENSOUL to turn her back on SATAN and return to JESUS FUCKING Christ??? Please let us hear what you have to say.

[tigara666]

Nooooooo!

Fuck you Marie!
