Unknown Facts About Satanism

1. Satan’s Deadly Sins It might seem crazy, but even Satan has standards. Satanists have deadly sins as much as other religions do. The kicker here is that Satanists have different values and would consider different things to be a sin. There are nine deadly sins according to the Church of Satan: stupidity (the worst one), pretentiousness (it’s annoying), solipsism (projecting your feelings onto others), lying to yourself, conforming, not having perspective, forgetting your history, needless pride, and a lack of aesthetics.

2. All About The Satanic Bible The Satanic Bible is a big deal because it’s the text that most Satanists follow, so it stands to reason that we should talk about this. The Satanic Bible is a collection of essays and thoughts by the Church of Satan’s follower, Anton LaVey. It’s not sacred scripture per se and not every Satanist follows it. LeVeyan Satanists consider it an authoritative text, but a lot of other types of Satanists don’t.

3. Satanists And Magic The Satanic religion does involve magic, but not to the extent that a lot of people think. While the whole magic thing is a big deal, the Satanic religion’s focus on science is infinitely more important. Some Satanists believe in magic that’s more supernatural, but the vast majority of magic practiced by Satanists is more psychological than anything else. Anton LaVey wrote two books on the subject of magic, The Compleat Witch, and The Satanic Rituals, but those books aren’t really hard and fast rules. LaVey didn’t even really have an opinion on whether they were mandatory.

4. Famous Satanists There are a lot of famous people who claim Satanism as their religion. However, since Satanism gets a bad rap, it makes sense that these celebrities are either really quiet about it or are treated like novelties. Either way, it’s important to know who they are. Among the Satanic religion’s most famous practitioners is Marylin Manson, who became a member in the mid-90s and is credited on the EP Smells Like Children as a reverend. Jayne Mansfield was also a member, and she might have even had a relationship with Anton LaVey, the church’s founder.

5. The Basic Beliefs Of Satanism The fundamental beliefs of Satanism are pretty straightforward. It’s not really about worshipping an evil aligned deity, it’s about making yourself the most important person in your universe. This doesn’t mean that you yourself are the most important person in the world, though, it just means that you’re putting yourself first in your own life.

6. Satan And Atheists All of this emphasis on not worshipping any sort of gods, let alone Satan himself, might make you wonder what kind of philosophy really works with this. After all, if it’s a religion, there has to be some mention of a god, even if it’s just to say that no god really exists. Satanism actually does that by acknowledging that it’s not actually about worshipping anything, and that true Satanism is atheistic in nature.

7. Satan And Paranoia Now that we know that Satanism is a lot more benign than we’ve come to think that it was, the paranoia surrounding the religion seems a lot more ridiculous. Some rumors about Satanism, apart from the sacrificing thing that we’ve spent some time debunking just now, include the rumor that Satanism supports abuse against kids and abuse in general, especially of the sexual variety. People who say things like this clearly don’t know a thing about Satanism, because none of that is true.
