Satanolatry

The thought just occurred to me that there is way to much baggage associated with the term 'Satanism'.

On one side there are those people who view Satanism as a bad thing. Their religion (whatever it may be) has a big bad nemesis that they call Satan, or the Devil, who seems to have all these magical powers that he can use to make them do bad things. Anything that has to do with this bad guy is, well... bad. Somehow they have associated the Satan of Satanism to the Satan who hates their god. Shame of them.

On the other hand as they people who follow Satanism - the Satanists. This lot (myself included) comes in such a wide variety that is seems like there are more types of Satanism than they are Satanists. The term has gotten confused with too many adjectives around to better define it - Theistic Satanism, Modern Satanism, LaVeyan Satanism, Spiritual Satanism, Traditional Satanism, etc.

I've grown tired of all this baggage, all these preconceived notions of what Satanism is supposed to mean. So I'm going to make a stand once and for all, and distance myself from all the baggage of Satanism. As of right now I am no longer a Satanist. I now longer follow Satanism (whatever that may be).

From now on I shall be a follower of Satanolatry, a Satanolator if you will.

Google results as of 4/4/09 at 2257 MST - Results 1 - 9 of about 7 for satanolatry

Bingo! I got myself a term that I can make my own. Those 7 other results can just fuck off or conform since I'm about to redefine Satanolatry forever!

Satanolatry
-noun
The religious worship of the deity know as Satan, as defined by Satanolators, who is not the same spirit as mentioned in the Christian and Jewish religious texts.

Satanolator
-noun
A follower of Satanolatry

Ok, when I said forever what I really meant was until myself or the Satanolator community at large defines it properly. Maybe the above definition will work, maybe it won't. This is my in-case-it-doesn't clause!

Come on, lets start a revolution! Post a comment, let me know you are out there...

I'm back... again

Ok, I'm back again.

I think I need blogging. My theory is this - If I don't spew my thoughts and ideas out into the blogosphere and instead keep them all bottled up in my head, I'll explode and take out a whole city, or something.

Actually I've been trying to write and I've discovered that without regular practice I just suck. That doesn't mean that with regular practice that I don't suck but I like to think that I suck less.

My absence from this blog doesn't mean that I was stagnating spiritually, quite the opposite really. I've been delving really deep into Demonolatry in both worship and in demonic magic. On March 21st, during the Rite of Lucifer, I self-initiated myself and became an Demonolator Initiate. Maybe I shouldn't have capitalized that since it really isn't a title but rather just a personal milestone. If I was going to go for a title I'd probably try to pick something that conveyed a certain gravitas without being corny. Super Dark Lord Extraordinaire would be out of the question!

I should really write something worth reading... maybe tomorrow.

I've not heard these Enns spoken aloud by anyone so I went with what I think they should sould like. This guide will be kept updated as I find better pronunciations.

Color your own Tarot, Part 1

Over at the OFS-Demonolatry forum, someone posted a link to an Amazon.com page that had color your own tarot deck on it. That got a few people thinking and a community craft project of coloring, or creating, your own tarot deck was started where everyone could participate and show off what they were doing. I'm going to show off what I've been working on here as well.

Yesterday, I printed off a version of the Vacchetta Tarot deck on 110lb. white card stock. I also printed a design I found on the reverse sides. You can find the Vacchetta deck here:

Now I just have to raid my wifes art supplies to get some coloring pencils! Here is what I have done so far:



I'm planning on picking a few primary colors for each of the suits and then go into more details for the major arcania.

I trimmed the cards tight to the lines but now I'm thinking I should have left a border. Not only would this look better but it would also allow me to round the corners with a corner punch. I might have to re-think what I've done so far or maybe just treat my current deck as a prototype.

Belial Amulet

I'm working through an exercise where everyday I'm meditating on a different Demon to see which one resonates with me the most. I started Thursday with Belial and had a very strong experience that inspired me.

On Friday, I spent the day making up an oleum to Belial, as well as starting on a shrine and making an amulet. I went with polymer clay for the materials for the amulet and so made a shopping trip to the craft store to buy some supplies.

I have to say that the polymer clay aisle was very intimidating to the uninitiated but after about 20 minutes of staring, that which included 5 minutes of running after my youngest child, I settled on a product. I bought 2 different colors of 'Sculpey III', Chocolate and Leaf Green. I also bought a copper metallic ink pen, some hemp cord, a gloss and a brush for the gloss.

This was my first time working with polymer clay and I had a lot of fun. I broke off about a quarter of the chocolate color and a quarter of the green and started to mold them into a disk. When I got what I wanted, I took a blunt pencil and indented the sigil of Belial on it. I fired it per the instructions on the packet of clay, then filled in the indentation with the metallic ink pen. I then brushed on the gloss, got really unhappy with the results and started again.

This is my second attempt:



I didn't put on any gloss this time.

I'm happy!

Making an Oleum, Version 1

I've already made up a base earlier and so I wanted to finish it off an make an actual oleum. Due to the up coming holiday I wanted to make oleum of Leviathan so I gathered the ingredients, tools and that made up base.



The dry materials consisted of sea salt and calamus root. I grounded the calamus but didn't bother grinding the salt - it is salt, I don't think I could get it finer.



I added everything to the double boiler and boiled it for about 15 minutes:



I then strained it through a fine mess strainer:



The mix in the strainer still looked like it had a lot of oil still in it so I put it into a clean, dry rag:



and squeezed it:



then I strained it some more:



I then added tincture of benzoin to the oleum to add to its shelf life:



Next was bottling time:



And the finished product:

Making an oleum base

I tried my hand at making some oleum for the up coming Second Rite of Leviathan. I thought it best to first make the base and then later make the specific oleum for Leviathan. I figure I won't make a lot of the oleum of Leviathan which will leave me enough base to make different oleums later.

I went with Base #1 from The Complete Book of Demonolatry since I could easily gather all the materials that I would need.

First I gathered my tools; a double boiler, since I would be heating up oil on the stove top; two 2 cup measuring jugs; a fine mess strainer; a mortar and pestle and a suribachi; some 2 dram bottles and some mason jars.



Next I gathered all the herbs I needed.



Since I was using some root I thought that it would be best to grind it up in the suribachi. It was tough work and I didn't powderize all of it, but I thought it was enough.



For the rest of the ingredience I just mashed them in the mortar. I don't think it was really necessary since they were pretty ground up to begin with.



I added them all together in a cup and mixed them up before adding them to the double boiler.



I then added a half cup of Grapeseed Oil. I went with Grapeseed since I've read it is a better oil to use, but I'm sure olive oil will work fine.



This is what it looked like when I got the herbs and the oil mixed:



I boiled it for about 15 minutes before straining the oil into a clean cup:



I didn't get a lot of oil from this so I put the strained herbs back into the double boiler and added more oil, and boiled the mixture again. I did this about 3 times in total. I have about 1 cup of once strained oleum base when I was done.

I wanted to strain it some more since there was some sediment sitting at the bottom of the cup.



I strained it a few more times, cleaning the strainer each time and then finished by straining it through cheesecloth.



When I was done, I was pretty happy with the end product. It doesn't smell oily at all but more like the herbs that I used to make it. This picture makes it look greenish but it has a more reddish tint to it.



I'll make the herb mixture for the oleums that I want and add the base to it, then boil it. I'll let you know how that goes!

Tincture of Benzoin

Tincture of Benzoin is used to prolong the shelf life of oleums and so is an important product to have on hand. Usually 4 drops per 2 Dram bottle or 2 teaspoons per cup is enough.

I wanted to try my hand at making it for myself and so followed the directions that I found in The Complete Book of Demonolatry:

1 part Benzoin
3 parts alcohol

Now all I could find was Benzoin Gum:



Since the baggie contained 1/2 oz I figured I'd just add the baggie and 1 1/2 oz of Vodka in a mason jar.



I don't think that was the best idea since this is what it looked like:



I thought that maybe if I has added the alcohol first and then the benzoin I'd get better results. So, I went to Shaddow Domain, the local occult store, and bought some more. When I got home with it I decided to see how much volume was in the baggie of benzoin. It turned out that I only added the same amount of Vodka and not 3 times like I should have. I fixed this, then added more Vodka and benzoin to the jar and this is what it looked like:



Dismayed with this I thought that maybe I would get a better product if I blended it. So I did and then strained it before putting it back into the jar.



A far better product! It did however make shit of my blender that took me forever to clean. The benzoin gum powder makes very gummy gum when mixed with anything liquid.

Anyway, next time I think I will just buy the tincture of benzoin already made up

Demonic Enn Pronunciation Guide

Since I wrote the Enn pronunciations for the Nine Divinities I wanted to create one for the Dukante Hierarchy, so here it is. The pronunciations, found spelled out phonetically in the square brackets, are completely my own. I've heard the Enns of the Elementals spoken on the ABYSS CD so I used what I heard those pronunciations.

I've not heard the rest of the Enns spoken by anyone so I went with what I think they should sound like. I'll keep this guide organic and update it when I find better pronunciations.

The Nature of Demons

Over at the OFS Demonolatry forum I was discussing the nature of Demons and so I thought I'd drag what I said over here and expand it. Keep in mind that the following is my opinion, and as such is organic. It will most likely evolve as I learn more.

In the beginning there was nothing and then it exploded. It exploded because it became conscious and aware, and it wanted to be something. So when it exploded the nothing became something, that something being matter and energy. This is called the Big Bang.

The first consciousness did not vanish when the universe formed but just fragmented. The fragments are as separate from each other as threads are in a tapestry but they all make up the whole, which is Satan. Everything makes up the universe and the universe makes up Satan but not all of Satan since He existed before the universe and so is more than the universe.

Over time some of the matter became life and some of that life became sentient, both here and elsewhere in the universe. Just as some of the matter became life and sentient, so did some of the energy but this did not take a lot of time and happened not long after the Big Bang occurred. This sentient energy are many and are called Demons.

The Demons noticed us and made themselves known to us. We are like them except we are matter and they are energy. As matter we are taking a lot longer to advance than they ever have. They see us as younger siblings and treat us as such. If we ask for help and are gracious of the help given then they will continue to give it. If we demand help and are not gracious then they will respond negatively or not at all.

Saying we are matter is not entirely true. We are matter but we are also energy. Our bodies convert matter to energy and our minds are part energy and can manipulate energy. We transform more energy than we need and release a lot of energy aimlessly. Demons enjoy our energy and so like receiving it. They don't need it but it is 'nice' to them. When we work with Demons, we send them energy and this pleases them.

And that is my simpified belief of the nature of Demons.
