The Voice of Satanism

A Ramble A Satanic Rant.

The Delusional Satanist.

Commentary on the Future of Myself and The Temples of Satan
By Reverend Tom Erik Raspotnik (also known as Grand Magister Blackwood)
Leader of Theistic Satanism

I am engaged now in a different fight, the fight many of you refuse or cannot take forward for the betterment of our religion at least those of us who are Theistic Satanist’s.
I am defining my Priesthood and living into the future, not as a leader of useless “end-fighting” and never completed plans of unity, but public awareness and public enlightenment, and while people stand against this idea, I do not, it is time we reveal the truth and define who Satan was and where he comes from his root and his very origins offering up proven theories and showing Satan is not some lurking vampire creature, but one of the deities that can lead his faithful through turbulent times of economic despair, which are upon us.
My Church one of the few real Churches in Theistic Satanism will now stand with a body of clergy and will not require my hand in its guidance, I am now without the Church I founded in 2000.
I am amongst the people of the world and so I stand as a proud Theistic Satanist not only for myself but for those who have faith in Satan as their deity.
As detractors attempt to explain away Satanism, in inane and illogical texts I move forward exploring avenues not often looked upon and explaining the origins not some former magician’s vision.
We as Theistic Satanist’s are not into prophets, and while we see and hear often more than anyone in any Occult Science, we also need more than plans and compromises, we need knowledge to share with future generations.
Lets journey back to a time when people were more enlightened with deities.

There were a tremendous number of rituals that the Sumerians followed, and practiced.
The temples, which were the center of the cities a place where financial and religious beliefs came together helping one another towards the afterlife.
Offerings were laid on huge tables in front of the priests and priestesses and sharing was common-place.
A hierarchy of priests relating to ritual was common to each city.
Members of the temples were seldom if ever invited, but received much a word from the priestesses or priests to the words of Satan.
Spells and charms were taken very seriously because they helped drive life.
Through ritual and prayer, the Sumerians could win the support and “control” the power of the gods and goddesses magic being channeled.
The gods often appeared in person to the people of the city, or in visions during invocations and incantations.
Life was different, but the strength was the focal point strength in faith and the patron deity.
I am sorry that many of you have been mislead by “false prophets” and those who are not trained even to clean the stalls of camels, but we have time!
I am expanding my efforts not amongst Satanist’s but amongst the general public, before the coming defaults and bankruptcies of corruption destroy society and garner in a era of “anti-religion” which is something we all need to avoid.
I will continue to expose the groups and prophets that offer up nothing more than abuse and malcontent.
People can banter on and on about tyranny, but only a strong leader with business skills and knowledge of the ages will push us forward, I am the one.
I am done building a brand the Temples of Satan is successful and will continue even in my absence and I expect it to grow along with the Church of Theistic Satanism.
I have new ventures and avenues to explore, not only for my own Church, but for Satan’s People and while this will not be an easy task rest assured I will not fail, as failure has never been a part of my efforts.
I have assembled a team and will be taking the field soon again, and my Church will carry on with the efforts of my clergy.
I am ashamed of Satanism in its context, but I promised in faith to never leave the side of my deity and with such a promise I will sharpen the swords and march forward.
I am tired of solutions being offered up and I need plans and actions, we gather, we talk, and we come and go one Church, to another Organization, to another Temples seeking something more than plans.
I will provide these rituals, these spells and the actions that people ask for and separate myself and my teams who are dedicated to actually win, not preach about problems.
I can reveal something tonight that is unexpected and almost perfection to explain “Purity and Excellence.”
After long reads and research I discovered the following analogy and will keep this as anew.
Ancient Sumerian Priestesses and Priests would not cast spells at one another unless the Priestesses or Priest was banished from the city, otherwise it was forbidden, and while detractors will come up with a hundred reasons this is not something that is even close to fact, I can say this fact.
What if the magician’s or magician you are attacking as a magician is closer than you to the deity, the deity would consider it an attack on a faithful magician, I suggest you pick you battles carefully for attacking someone with a great deal of faith may spell certain doom to the attacker.
I will be restoring the secrecy and importance to the religion, but will need your help.
I will be looking for like minded people to build my already burgeoning team.
So see I am turning my back just evolving!

Hail Satanist’s

The Temples of Satan and Church of Theistic Satanism Suggested Practice’s.
Looking to our ancestors for our future!

From the Church of Theistic Satanism and The Leader of Theistic Satanism

1. Everyday worship.
2. Sacrifice, Benediction, Offering of Incense.
3. Free-will Offering.
4. Prayer, Supplication, Prostration.
5. Reverence.
6. Libation Offerings.
7. Invocations.
8. Keeping Sabbaths-Holy Days.
9. Performance of Rites.

Resembling Christianity this is no list from a Christian Author, this is suggested practices based on the ancestors practice’s to Satan, as you see the word Holy Days is included as Unholy Days was designed in reverse psychology to Christianity.
It is suggested to truly become linked in with Satan one should always seek his guidance through prayer and dedication, some will see better results as they modify behavior patterns to most resemble this listing of how to actually practice Theistic Satanism.

What defines leadership and how it relates to Theistic Satanism
Why the Temples of Satan defines it so very well.

Lets define it for those who seem to have missed the definitions:
–noun
the position or function of a leader: He managed to maintain his leadership of the party despite heavy opposition.
ability to lead: She displayed leadership potential.
an act or instance of leading; guidance; direction: They prospered under his leadership.

But what makes one a great leader in Theistic Satanism and how do you become one?
How often have you heard the comment, “He or she is a born leader?” There are certain characteristics found in some people that seem to naturally put them in a position where they’re looked up to as a leader.
Whether in fact a person is born a leader or develops skills and abilities to become a leader is open for debate. There are some clear characteristics that are found in good leaders. These qualities can be developed or may be naturally part of their personality. Let us explore them further.
Seven Personal Qualities Found In A Good Leader in Religion (Our Clergy has these qualities).
1. A good leader has an exemplary religious character. It is of utmost importance that a leader is trustworthy to lead others. A leader needs to be trusted and be known to live their life with honestly and integrity dedicated to the deity. A good leader “walks the talk” and in doing so earns the right to have responsibility for others. True authority is born from respect for the good character and trustworthiness of the person who leads, this can include a vast body of religious works and creative theories, of which people learn.
Sometimes disgruntled former membership or Clergy “rejects” can attempt to cloud such leadership, but only if the leader allows such activities.
2. A good leader is enthusiastic about their work or cause and also about their role as leader. People will respond more openly to a person of passion and dedication. Leaders need to be able to be a source of inspiration, and be a motivator towards the required action or cause. Although the responsibilities and roles of a leader may be different, the leader needs to be seen to be part of the team working towards the goal. This kind of leader will not be afraid to roll up their sleeves and get dirty, driving even hundreds of miles to meet membership or to attend vital life actions like funerals or marriages.
 
3. A good leader is confident. In order to lead and set direction a leader needs to appear confident as a person and in the leadership role. Such a person inspires confidence in others and draws out the trust and best efforts of the team to complete the task well. A leader who conveys confidence towards the proposed objective inspires the best effort from team members.
A good leader is gainfully employed and not living of some social welfare program, he or she earns in excess of lower class wages and can without notice fund activities in relation to the religion.
A good leader is not afraid to mix it up with people on the street or in the media and can challenge most anyone handing them their head.
These several personal characteristics are foundational to good leadership. Some characteristics may be more naturally present in the personality of a leader. However, each of these characteristics can also be developed and strengthened. A good leader whether they naturally possess these qualities or not, will be diligent to consistently develop and strengthen them in their leadership role.
Failures challenge leadership from a position that no authority is required in religion, well that may be true but not in Theistic Satanism, there are far too many confused people to spend time with those who have just a few years experience, in Theistic Satanism.
There is no way to explain it all in days or years its complex, and only a seasoned veteran can explain the entire relationship of Satan to a person seeking enlightenment.
So as you seek out leadership realize this our Clergy represents almost 470 years of experience, and when pursuing other groups ask the leadership which probably is a failure how many years of Clergy experience do they have, what learning programs are installed, and what does the founder do for a living is he or she grounded and financially responsible, instead of living off aide coming up with excuses for reasons they are not working.
How may years does your leadership have in Theistic Satanism, and where did they come from, are they a disgruntled former or somewhere, most in leadership are not from anywhere but their very own, like our leadership body of Clergy.
Join the fastest growing Church in Satanism, skip the Social Networks and come learn from Leadership representative of the Purity and Excellence in Satanism.
We are looking for strong minded well educated financially stable individuals to spread the words and the works of Satanism

The Truth on Reverend Blackwood Q and A.

The Truth on Reverend Blackwood Q and A.

Addressing our Deity
Some Definitions….Guide to Theistic Satanism for the Serious!
Tenants of Theistic Satanism by The Church of Theistic Satanism.
Temples of Satan Founder Grand Magister Blackwood:

For years people have written me asking if they are appropriate in addressing Satan as some of the following and I have decided to answer a few of these questions to provide a clearer understanding to the Real Satanist.

Our Father: Our Father, is a Christian Salutation, however it is acceptable if one believes that Father Satan had a hand in much of creation, or has been a Father to man’s understanding.
Lets examine Father:

Definitions of Father:
a male parent (also used as a term of address to your father); “his father was born in Atlanta”
forefather: the founder of a family; “keep the faith of our forefathers”
`Father’ is a term of address for priests in some churches (especially the Roman Catholic Church or the Orthodox Catholic Church); `Padre’ is frequently used in the military
a person who holds an important or distinguished position in some organization; “the tennis fathers ruled in her favor”; “the city fathers endorsed the proposal”
God when considered as the first person in the Trinity; “hear our prayers, Heavenly Father”
founder: a person who founds or establishes some institution; “George Washington is the father of his country”
beget: make children; “Abraham begot Isaac”; “Men often father children but don’t recognize them”
don: the head of an organized crime family.
So how do any of these fit Satan?
It could be representative of of our founding, and we are the offspring thereof or because of him.
Some other salutations that are often acceptable:
Hail Satan:
Definitions of Hail
acclaim: praise vociferously; “The critics hailed the young pianist as a new Rubinstein”
be a native of; “She hails from Kalamazoo”
call for; “hail a cab”
precipitation of ice pellets when there are strong rising air currents
greet enthusiastically or joyfully
many objects thrown forcefully through the air; “a hail of pebbles”; “a hail of bullets”
precipitate as small ice particles; “It hailed for an hour.
So we find Hail Satan to be greeting the deity enthusiastically.
And of course we all know what Satan is so I will not ramble on, and next we find ourselves often saying Avete Satanas lets define the both of them.
Definitions of Avete:
Refers to Hello in Latin, so Hello Satan is that like Hello Kitty?
Not really some use it in formal greetings of other Satanist’s.
Definitions of satanas:
Satan (Hebrew: הַשָׂטָן ha-Satan (“the accuser”); Persian “sheytân”; Arabic: الشيطان al-Shaitan (“the adversary”) – both from the Semitic root: Ś-Ṭ-N) is an embodiment of antagonism that originates from the Abrahamic religions, being traditionally considered an angel in Judeo-Christian belief …
Even though Satan extends further back than Persia or even Abrahamic Religions dare to go, I believe it is an acceptable name for the True Deity, and while he appears throughout History with many names, he is not:
Pan ( a Pagan Woodland God some say is connected but is not.) When reading into the entire story we can easily discredit Pan.
Lucifer (light bringer and Italian God of Light, some people say connected to Christ).
What the construct of Christianity, a fallen angel is not Satan.
Set (was killed later so is not Satan).
Seth ( a version of Set and some people have derived Setan from the verbiage)
Prometheus (a version of Lucifer) Some are enamored with his story, and is similar but open for debate.
Sumerian Scholars suggest the Root of Satanism is more like Nanna (Sin) or Ningazhidda or Shidaaz, the later is relative to the Night and Moon.
But more on that in later articles!
Back to Salutation:
Some people call him Master:
Definitions of Master.
maestro: an artist of consummate skill; “a master of the violin”; “one of the old masters”
overlord: a person who has general authority over others
victor: a combatant who is able to defeat rivals
directs the work of others
headmaster: presiding officer of a school
an original creation (i.e., an audio recording) from which copies can be made
be or become completely proficient or skilled in; “She mastered Japanese in less than two years”
an officer who is licensed to command a merchant ship
overcome: get on top of; deal with successfully; “He overcame his shyness”
someone who holds a Master’s degree from academic institution
dominate: have dominance or the power to defeat over; “Her pain completely mastered her”; “The methods can master the problems”
an authority qualified to teach apprentices
have a firm understanding or knowledge of; be on top of; “Do you control these data?”
passkey: key that secures entrance everywhere
chief(a): most important element; “the chief aim of living”; “the main doors were of solid glass”; “the principal rivers of America”; “the principal example”; “policemen were primary targets”; “the master bedroom”; “a master switch.”
So for those who are claiming Master is like the “slave mentality” nothing is more incorrect.
I often refer it to being a Soldier to Satan:
Definitions of soldier:
an enlisted man or woman who serves in an army; “the soldiers stood at attention”
serve as a soldier in the military
a wingless sterile ant or termite having a large head and powerful jaws adapted for defending the colony
Now some will say this is wrong but in Theistic Satanism, Satan requires an Army of people who understand his world.
Sometimes people speak of following Satan.
Definitions of follower:
a person who accepts the leadership of another.
someone who travels behind or pursues another.
Faith is important to the Deity, I will here define a few more things.
Definitions of deity:
any supernatural being worshiped as controlling some part of the world or some aspect of life or who is the personification of a force.
I refer to the deity to avoid disrespecting other peoples deity, however as a Theistic Satanist we should really not care because it’s our deity the strongest deity and able to destroy the others at will.
But enough!
I will define a few other things Christians like to label and theirs.
Definitions of faith:
religion: a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny; “he lost his faith but not his morality”
complete confidence in a person or plan etc; “he cherished the faith of a good woman”; “the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust”
religion: an institution to express belief in a divine power; “he was raised in the Baptist religion”; “a member of his own faith contradicted him”
loyalty or allegiance to a cause or a person; “keep the faith”; “they broke faith with their investors”
Faith is not owned by Abrahamic Religions and for Modern Satanist’s they will rail against those of us who display Faith as they prefer to see things from a Atheistic Intent.
Definitions of religion:
a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny; “he lost his faith but not his morality”
an institution to express belief in a divine power; “he was raised in the Baptist religion”; “a member of his own faith contradicted him”
Belief in a deity is similar in religions throughout the world and but Theistic Satanism requires some understanding and yet it prevails as the most powerful magic based religion on the planet, I personally am glad people have tried to whittle down its tenants and have attempted to define it as something else, but here it is.
Theism in the broadest sense is the belief in at least one deity. In a more specific sense, theism refers to a particular doctrine concerning the nature of a god and his relationship to the universe, being Theistic is the action thereof.
Some things that are useful in its practice is the arts:
The Art of Meditation:
Definitions of meditation:
continuous and profound contemplation or musing on a subject or series of subjects of a deep or abstruse nature; “the habit of meditation is the basis for all real knowledge”
(religion) contemplation of spiritual matters (usually on religious or philosophical subjects).
The Art of Invocation:
Definitions of invocation:
a prayer asking God’s help as part of a religious service
an incantation used in conjuring or summoning a devil
conjuring: calling up a spirit or devil
the act of appealing for help.
The Art of Incantation:
An incantation or incantations are the words spoken during a ritual, either a hymn or prayer invoking or praising a deity, or in magic, occultism, witchcraft with the intention of casting a spell on an object or a person. The term derives from Latin(incantare).
The Art of Spell-Craft
Definitions of Spellcraft:
Spellcraft is the ability to cast and work spells. It is often used to describe the rituals performed by witches, Wiccans, and Neo-pagans. Such instances of spellcraft can require the use of various gems, herbs, incense, candles, colours, meditation, chanting, astrology, and numerology.

The Art of Ritual:
Definitions of ritual:
any customary observance or practice
the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies
of or relating to or characteristic of religious rituals; “ritual killing”
stereotyped behavior.

The Art of Prayer:
Definitions of prayer:
the act of communicating with a deity (especially as a petition or in adoration or contrition or thanksgiving); “the priest sank to his knees in prayer”
reverent petition to a deity
entreaty: earnest or urgent request; “an entreaty to stop the fighting”; “an appeal for help”; “an appeal to the public to keep calm”
a fixed text used in praying.
someone who prays to a God.
While I pray several times a day, I recommend those in Theistic Satanism to pray at least once a day and thank Satan for many different things, including guidance, it is necessary to become Spiritual with Satan.
Definitions of spiritual:
religious: concerned with sacred matters or religion or the church; “religious texts”; “a member of a religious order”; “lords temporal and spiritual”; “spiritual leaders”; “spiritual songs”
concerned with or affecting the spirit or soul; “a spiritual approach to life”; “spiritual fulfillment”; “spiritual values”; “unearthly love”
lacking material body or form or substance; “spiritual beings”; “the vital transcendental soul belonging to the spiritual realm”-Lewis Mumford
a kind of religious song originated by Blacks in the southern United States
apparitional: resembling or characteristic of a phantom; “a ghostly face at the window”; “a phantasmal presence in the room”; “spectral emanations”; “spiritual tappings at a seance”
While people often think they are being spiritual they sometimes as not, I would have to contemplate being spiritual as an Art or The Art of Spirituality.
This can stem from faith as well and could be formed from prayer and or ritual.
Messages come clearly to those with Faith or Spirituality and slow for those not immersed in such.
Now comes the age old question as to where does the Theistic Satanist’s go when they die?
After long hours of research I surmise that we are reborn over and over because we are comprised of energy, however some people do think we have past lives, but I have a theory while some seem to be precognitive of a past life, we cannot control where we go or who be return as, because our essence which is comprised of energy is uncontrollable at death.
So we a merely a husk that contains an energy that can prosper or fail based on our level of Faith or Spirituality and the stronger we are the better chance we have to survive beyond our bodies.
We should do as can while we are in our bodies and in order to work from beyond our bodies we require a certain level of internal faith to push us path the throes of death and into our next lives serving Satan, while his plan may or may not be complete we do not move along like “Lab Rats” in some experiment we move along as travelers and we chart our own futures by actions of Faith while our energy lives.
One does not have to be rich or well to do to thrive around the deity, just have Faith he understands we all have a mission, a place and no matter how downtrodden you become you must rise up and realize there is a better place and perhaps a better life somewhere in your future, so no matter how low you feel you can never loose your faith.

Hail Satanist’s!

The disgruntled come out with lies and deceit:
Exposing the S.S.A. And Former Reverend Jake Nicholson
Temples of Satan and Church of Theistic Satanism Communique 1 of 6

While leaving in a hurry our old S.S.A. Leader decided to bash the Church and I will remind you all of a few things he said before and expose a few truths today!

After reading the rantings of a Former Christian now turned Occultist I point out a nice letter about himself and me:
My wife, who up until that time, had been moving along with me, was disgusted when she and I came across the Swastika. Our eyes shuddered as we ran into the pro-Hitler portion of JoS. The almost shocking experience was almost too much – While we both understood and still do, that hate is a valuable tool – but only when necessary… Yet these people were advocating the utter death of all Jews, and Christians. This wasnt empowerment and enlightenment…
If I had not met Grand Magister Tom Blackwood, I dont think I would have remained a Satanist… I had already started to read other Neo-Pagan works, and although they were nutty, at least they weren’t Nazi!! My wife, although very supportive of me and my work, isn’t a Satanist herself. She studies the realms of psychic abilities, and the more evasive spiritual activity around us, and with her gift of a powerful sense of such things, she seems happy for now.  I myself have remained a Satanist. I looked deeper and harder into the roots than JoS, and with the guidance of my Occult Teacher I found the Truth of Satanism. Quite frankly, I found Satan Himself. Couple that with the uncanny gift I have for learning rapidly, and something else I am working on, and I fit into Theistic Satanism like a glove.
I am currently a Magister with the Temples of Satan/Church of Theistic Satanism, as well as Founder and Commandant of the non-biased Satanic Security Agency. I work tirelessly alongside Grand Magister Tom Blackwood to restore Satanism to it’s rightful place as Man’s way to Enlightenment and Empowerment. I work endlessly alongside many other Satanists through the Satanic Security Agency to provide for the Goals of Satan on this earth, and to secure the rights of the Satanic Community, from within and without.
I noticed he spoke of the S.S.A. His brain child that would have never been launched without my encouragement, and unfortunately with Jake and his wife on welfare it will never rise above the Net, so poorly was his performance he refused to contact a member whose husband died when asked to do a Satanic Funeral and attend after her husband was part of the S.S.A.
We are growing as a Church and have secret inner circles we never the S.S.A. In just for this reason.
Something he also is jealous of, now fearing reprisal he has decided to vindicate those who were removed from Clergy after he contemplated the entire story and I agree with his ruling, he was a part of fabrication more than me as I working elsewhere and let him run the show.
Magister Wynter told me to watch Jake he was a loose cannon and feeling the internet rush of popularity would lead him to fabricate stories that would damage your Church, no membership has left and I will follow this entire statement up in several parts just to clear the air.
I ask why would Jake leave an environment he so well liked and had control over in the aspect of security any lies he was fully aware of and fabricated with the Church, he now fearing reprisal and castigation recants his entire stories and blames me and the Church in attempt to rise his own image up and protect a few people he became enamored on Face Book over.
The Church of Theistic Satanism condemns the actions of Jake Nicholson and his attempts to fabricate stories against former Clergy and as people know we do what we say, our growth continues, but we warn about the S.S.A. We abandoned the project due to so many lies and fabrications which were hurting the Church, Jake was taken over by ego and as under handed activities were everywhere his hand was in the cookie jar and now disgruntled and seeking his own creations and constructs his lies reverberate through out Satanism, it is a shame such a great young man has fabricated so much and attempted to cover it all up with pointing the finger at our Church.
We will provide the truth to all this in the days ahead.
