The Enochian Language Fictional Magic

Reverend Tom Erik Raspotnik Leader of Theistic Satanism

In the late 1500′s two “snake oil salesmen” Dee’s and Kelly were performing magical operations for Queen Elizabeth, these two through invocations and incantations were supposedly able to manifest several angels to commune with, and so started their “traveling circus” widely accepted at that time by the rich and famous of a burgeoning upper class.

However only their accounts exist and while they were attended by the Queens Guards no logs were noted of ritual times or times they performed rituals only hearsay and loans of gold are noted to the operations by Queen Elizabeth I scribes.

However there are questions that must be brought forward and questioned.
1. While depictions of angels were prevalent in Europe they did not embody the cylinders of Mesopotamia and more and likely were derivative of the imagination of Catholicism.
While not implying that Catholicism invented angels, they defined the perfection of artist rendering of religious figures and iconography.

The question I then propose is how do you know its an angel if you have never seen an angel, and then again during the Dark Ages people were resilient but not without fear of the supernatural.

Calling summoned entities and labeling them angels is by design not, even today such manifestations are mislabeled by peoples sub conscious.

As an established adept myself I can say I have manifested numerous entities and was not able to label any of these summoned entities, let along identify them with any correctness.
1. 1. Acceptance of these stories of angels of Enoch bring more questions to the table for the Theistic Satanist.
If one were to believe in the Enochian language that would have the magician or adept acknowledge Judaic Literature.

While the Book of Enoch is an important piece to a intricate puzzle in Satan’s past remember the Judaic version of our deity is questionable at best, I prefer to look to Sumerian Lore for answers than the confusing and often misleading Lore of the Hebrews and Canaanites.

But back to the inventors, much of this language was created during the days of study in England but really comes several years later while visiting the King of Poland, looking to glean some gold coins off from him.

For instance, the first call starts with “Ol sonf vors g, gohó Iad Balt, lanish calz vonpho” and is rendered in English “I reign over you, says the God of Justice, in power exalted above the firmaments of wrath.”

This is changed often in numerous printings to reflect the style of the magician, changing it completely from its originality even L a Vey attempted to change the originality of these texts in his “Ghost Written” Satanic Bible.

To take but one example, a recent editor of John Dee material, Gerald Suster, writes that skeptics are left with the “genuine and interesting intellectual problem” that:

a) Enochian bears little relation to any known language.

b) Yet philologists agree that it is impossible for a man to invent a new language.

(Suster 2003: 139).

This whole argument rests on the assumption that Enochian in fact shows linguistic criteria associated with a real natural language. However, this might very well be an erroneous assumption, and indeed all these claims need a closer, critical assessment.

But more can be said for this language and further assessment of the ideologies behind it make even a stronger case.

A competent linguist who to my knowledge has worked closer with the Enochian language – and published material on it – is the Australian linguist, anthropologist and sceptic Donald Laycock.

In his conclusion to the preface of The Complete Enochian Dictionary, Laycock is less than convinced of the supernatural origin of the language.

He even disputes the claim that it can be considered a proper language.

First of all he points to the fact that there are significant differences between the two bulks of Enochian texts, those first received on 29 March 1583, and those received a year later in Krakow.

The first texts were, as we have seen, simply spoken out by Kelley, staring into the “shewstone”, and transcribed by Dee. The texts are not given any definite English translation, except for some isolated words.

Laycock notes that the phonetic patterning of this material looks suspect for a natural language: there is a tendency of alternating between one- and two-syllable words only, and of words being arranged as simple variations over phonetically similar vowels (mostly varieties of the a-sound) (Laycock 1994: 33).

“Statistical studies in linguistics show that patterning of this nature is rare in normal language – though it is found in poetry and magical charms.” (ibid)

He goes on to state a more intriguing fact about this type of phonetic patterning: It is a common trait of glossolalia.

The nonsensical “speaking in tongues” is a phenomenon characteristically tied to trance-like behavior, and there are indeed passages from the records of the “Angelic conferences” that suggests Edward Kelley had a tendency of exhibiting such behavior at the times these verses were received.

John Dee frequently notes before the receptions that “fire starts to spring from Kelley’s eyes”, and he “disappears into the stone” (ibid: 34; Peterson 2003: 303, 309, 322 etc). There are also references to him losing his memory of what had happened (Peterson 2003: 322), and the idea that “trance” is a separate state of consciousness often resulting in such memory loss has a long history (e.g. Ludwig 1972: 18; Spanos 1996).

But there are many strange turn and twists that come together such as the invocations and incantations used to produce them.

If the communications of spring 1583 seems quite easy to account for, the picture is a bit more complicated when it comes to the reception of the Enochian language proper in Krakow in April 1584 – at least on the surface of it.

As noted earlier, the reception process here seems much more complicated, and glossolalia does not altogether seem like a plausible solution. The Enochian “keys” or “calls” that were here received were processed letter by letter and word by word, backwards from the last word of each call.

This brings more examination and skepticism to the reader, sometimes things are not as they seem and as I always have told my students in the past examination of magicians texts are subject to magical comparative and what I mean by that is if it doesn’t fit into a standardized system used by the operator or does it integrate it probably is something of a mystical journey created to popularize a certain magician in his day.

But more questions come into play, as we examine further the Enochian language.

The method in which this was done is not all that clear, mainly due to the obscure notes one finds in Dee’s manuscript transcripts of the sessions.

In them each letter is mentioned, accompanied with numbers, some of them apparently signifying the position of the letters in the letter squares which they are taken from (Casaubon [ed.] 1659: 78-80).

Apparently, the source of the letters is the texts mentioned above, which after being received (through glossolalia) were put into letter squares of 49×49 letters, and named Liber Logaeth. The rather amazing way in which these texts seem to have been received is often brought forward as a proof of the supernatural origin of the language, in that it could not have been constructed by Kelley himself.

As noted author Suster writes:

Kelley would report, for instance: “He points to column 5, rank 23”, apparently not mentioning the letter, which Dee found and wrote down … This implies that Kelley had absolutely no idea which words would be formed.

To execute that feat, the man commonly denounced as a confidence trickster would have to know the exact positions of the 2,401 letters in each of the tablets. There must be an easier way of getting a living. (Suster 2003: 139)

This is easily accomplished as I studied the system and was able to alter it to my liking and change certain words and phrases to reflect what I need to place on the table, but the skeptic in me continued to examine further the turns and twists that made me question this system.

There of course easier ways to earn a living, and Kelley knew that quite well.

Once again Suster seems to be jumping to conclusions. Interestingly enough, the volume he himself has edited and selected contains the following account from the angelic sessions in Krakow, April 13 1584:

A (Two thousand and fourteen, in the sixth Table, is) D. 86. 7003. In the thirteenth Table is I. A In the 21st Table. 11406 downward. I In the last Table, one less then Number. A word, Jaida you shall understand, what that word is before the Sun go down. (Dee cited in Suster [ed.] 2003: 71)

In Dee’s recording, all this seems to be taken from the mouth of the angel Nalvage speaking through Kelley, including the letters. Note the discrepancy between this and the account given by Suster himself.

Admittedly, this would render the numbers given more mysterious. However, as Laycock observes, they cannot at any rate refer to letters in the letter squares, since all the squares in the supposed source were 49×49, adding up only to 2,401 (Laycock 1994: 40).

Some of the numbers given are much higher.

It seems to me more likely that the numbers are conceived as having mystical, numerological importance.

After receiving the word “Naoov”, for instance, Dee is asked to “add the numbers” of each letter.

When he has done this the angel makes him square it, which leaves him with the number 22,306,729. This is according to the angel the number of the “Philosopher’s work” (Casaubon [ed.] 1659: 80).

Be the importance of the numbers as it may, the passage above indicates that the angel Kelley actually mentioned each letter by name, and even spelled out the words they make up. The reception of each letter string ends with passages, in the angel Nalvage’s words, like “call it Hoath”, “call it Mad”, “call it Noco”, “call it Zirdo” and so forth (ibid: 79).

All interesting but probably created by the two as explanations of the operations they were creating for the various Kings and Queens of Europe.

In the actions, we should imagine Kelley having visions of letters in the “shewstone” which the angel pointed to. He would then spell them out to Dee himself. The method thus seems far more explicit and straight forward than what Suster and many with him seems ready to admit (I should perhaps note in passing that Suster’s paragraph has a wording suspiciously close to Aleister Crowley’s in his Confessions. See Crowley 1989: 612).

One should also mention that it is not even clear that this method was actually deployed all the way through. The exact procedure is only given for the very first text received. As Laycock notes, there are hints in the recordings that both Edward Kelley and the “spirits” themselves wanted to speed up the process after a while, being hold back only by Dee’s insistence on the letter-by-letter transcription (ibid: 41).

At any rate, the reception of this material is far more technical and less automatic than the former. Laycock notes however that the impracticality of the method also shows itself in the phonetic structure of the language here received, which differs significantly from the structure of the earlier material.

The most noticeable difference is that the new material is less pronounceable than the earlier, including sudden clusters of both vowels and consonants, like the words ooaona, paombd, smnad and noncf.

This feature is not found in natural languages (Laycock 1994: 40).

However, Laycock notes that it is exactly the feature you would expect when producing sentences by joining letters from a text in a natural language together according to a random pattern.

As he says somewhat mockingly: “The reader can test this by taking, for example, every tenth letter on this page, and dividing the string of letters into words. The ‘text’ created will tend to look rather like Enochian.” (ibid: 40-41).

When one considers the linguistic properties of the language of these later receptions it becomes clear that it exhibits traits that are suspiciously Old English.

Something that Angelic Beings would have to have learned, I question who taught then, and why are most of the entities that are currently brought forward during invocation.

Especially when one considers the claim of the language being the perennial “Adamic” language, spoken before the Fall, one would rather expect some proto-Semitic features to appear. The only feature slightly reminiscent of Semitic however, is the fact that when written with the Enochian characters, the language is written right to left.

The phonology, syntax and grammar all seem to be almost identical to English: Enochian seems to have both soft and hard values for consonants like c and g, and combines s andh to make the sh sound (ibid). According to Laycock, it does not seem to have a case system (ibid: 42), and the syntax is, judging from the translations given, purely English.

This is also quite remarkable, since not even with other European languages are such similarities (or rather, identity) of syntax extant (ibid: 43).

In addition, the verbal system is highly incomplete, with conjugations only traceable for two verbs, of which one, “to be”, is (unsurprisingly) highly irregular. Also the numeral system seems obscure and quite randomized, consisting mostly of single letters in a way reminiscent of the Hebrew and Aramaic system, but distinct since it shows no recognizable pattern.

Put briefly, the grammatical features of Enochian seem either purely English or totally randomized.

Another interesting feature can be noted considering the semantics of Enochian.

There are certain Enochian words that are suspiciously reminiscent of words well known to Dee and Kelley, many taken from biblical contexts, with semantic meanings in a way cognate to them (ibid:42). For instance there is babalond, meaning “wicked, harlot”, with possible reference to “the whore of Babylon” of Revelations. Christeos, “let there be” seems related to Christ, or the Logos of the Gospel of John, and luciftias, meaning “brightness” may have a connection the Pagan Lucifer, the light bringer.

Taken from another context important to Dee is londoh, translated as “kingdom”, which makes perfect sense taking into account Dee’s imperial ambitions for the Queen in London. The list could go on, but these examples suffice to make the point.

The semantics of Enochian seems heavily influenced by notions in Dee and Kelley’s contemporary times.

We find ourselves examining such as Christian, and as a Theistic Satanist with prior knowledge of Sumeria we can easily find ourselves questioning the overall notions of this “so-called” language of angels.

I would ask if angels were really speaking to the two inventors, why were they selected, and would the language be more ancient than Old English such as Syrian or Babylonian or even Sumerian.

But even the alphabet is questionable.

One should perhaps also consider briefly the Enochian alphabet, which was received by Kelley on 26 March 1583.

The 21 letters which make up the alphabet are reminiscent of the type of “magical script” so common in occult treatises of the time. For instance, the standard occult reference work of the time, Cornelius Agrippa’s De occuluta philosophia contained a nice selection (Agrippa 2003:311, 406-7).

However, to this day one has not been able to discern a definite source from which Dee and Kelley could have taken their particular alphabet.

It has been noted that Dee had in his possession an alchemical treatise, Voarchadumia contra alchimiam, written by Giovanni Pantheus in 1530, where we find a table containing what is called an “Enochian alphabet of the ancients”. This has been suggested as a source for Dee, since the manuscript he possessed, which still exists, contains his abundant marginal notes, and even an attempt to write his own name in Pantheus’ alphabet (see facsimile in Laycock 1994:30-31).

This argument seems to be a bit thin, since a) the alphabet in this treatise does not bear any significant similarity to the angelic script of Dee and Kelley, and b) the word “Enochian”, which on the surface seems to be the only link between the two, was actually not used by Dee and Kelley themselves to refer to “their” language.

Instead they used “angelic” and “Adamic”, “Enochian being a later convention. I would therefore argue that the Voarchadumia-manuscript is of little importance in this matter.

However, the idea of a perennial Adamic language that could still be recovered was a rather common speculation in esoteric circles of John Dee’s days (Harkness 1999:158-161).

There were even elaborate discussions among the bright heads of Europe about which of the historical languages was closest to the perennial language spoken in Eden, which would have been more likened to Sumerian or some form of Mesopotamian derived language.

For instance, the great German philologer and proponent of the North European renaissance Johann Reuchlin (1455 – 1522) considered the three biblical languages (Hebrew, Greek and Latin) the most likely candidates, while the French renaissance thinker Guillaume Postel (1510 – 1581) sided with Hebrew exclusively.

A perhaps more daring but doubtlessly intriguing proposal was made by the Swedish natural philosopher Andreas Kempe (1622 – 1689), who argued that God spoke Swedish, that Adam named the animals in Danish, and that the Serpent tempted Eve in French (ibid: 160).

Kempe’s proposal must no doubt have been tempting considering the Swedish imperial ambitions at the time. At any rate, the extant discourses about the primordial Adamic language in Dee’s time should be account enough for his thoughts on the issue.

However strange to us today, the idea was not that idiosyncratic after all.

The failure to propagate the Sumerian or Mesopotamian language at this time was the inability to drill down to the origns, this due in part to the Rosetta Stone not being found or deciphered during the 1500′s.

Although I myself am quite satisfied at this point, I will consider another possible influence on Dee and Kelley which Laycock mentions: Going from the thesis that a genuine Adamic language should be expected to have some proto-Semitic features, Laycock compares the Enochian typescript with different kinds of Semitic alphabets.

He finds, however, that it does not resemble any of the proto-Semitic scripts, like Sumerian or Egyptian hieroglyphic.

Rather it might have some similarities to much later Semitic languages, as Samarian and especially Ethiopian (Laycock 1994:28). Although this relation already seems to run counter to the claim of a primordial authenticity of the language, Laycock follows up on the lead hoping to find a more historically grounded source for the alphabet of Dee and Kelley. Laycock speculates that, given Dee’s persistent interest in the Apochrypha, and especially in the Enochian and Prophetic traditions present in Europe at the time, it might have been the case that Dee had seen an edition of the presumed lost Ethiopian Book of Enoch, possibly from Guilliam Postel, whom he met.

According to this argument, he would have seen a text which fascinated him immensely, but would not be able to read it. He would, however, recognize the alphabet, and might have used a similar version of it in the later workings (ibid).

While this possibility cannot be totally denied, it seems at the same time to be a claim quite unsupported of evidence. Such a discovery in Europe at the time would no doubt have sparked greater publicity. For these reasons and due to the lack of evidence I find the claim at best highly unlikely. It seems more likely that the 21-letter alphabet was a genuine product of Kelley’s medium-like creativity – inspired by the countless magical ciphers that he no doubt knew, but still original in its outlook. New magical alphabets seemed to surface almost every day in the early modern period.

My opinion as those who provided much of this evidence is that this language is not something one would probably use unless they were confused, not because I said so but because of what they read before in their magical studies, so as the teacher I am I provide this information which to some is painful as people frequently like to admit to mistakes.

But examination needs further investigation explanations of certain relevant linguistic milestones can help the reader move ahead from the notion this Enochian Language which was popularized by the Church of Satan and Aliester Crowley is relevant to magic, in observations I can say this that any form even babble can be used to propagate magic, every “squirrel can get a nut.”

There is an argument that flares of who has power or who is the best magician, or who has the best system I can tell you than the best system is designed by yourself personalized for your lifestyle, something I cannot teach students of magic.

Ignorance as of late has been the ways of most, those of us who have studied magic and created magical systems are nothing short of precision magicians, the few who have developed and created systems that are sound are to still be feared, those who have entered in systems of inferiority as left short with ill designed spells and weakened actions.

Definitions of Theistic Satanism

Grand Magister Blackwood Leader of Theistic Satanism — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 15:01:41 +0000

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!

Grand Magister Blackwood Leader of Theistic Satanism — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 20:57:31 +0000

Church of Theistic Satanism Announcement:
The First Church in Theistic Satanism Reveals David Myatt Letter:

In a recent meeting in Chicago, attended by Magister Alexander and Guest Grand Magister Blackwood a letter was revealed to Clergy disproving the theory of the existence of such a letter not being real a photo of the letter will made available to Clergy of The Temples of Satan and will be made available soon to the general public.
A copy of the letter can requested by writing:
Myatt Letter c/o Flagship Media
488 South Harvey Shelby MI 49455
(mailing address of Flagship Media)
or:
Flagship Transportation
4604 North Sheridan
Peoria IL, 61614

This letter speaks of Myatt not having interest in returning to Satanism, and explaining while his theory is relevant to he is a devout Muslim.
It goes on to describe additional ideas and will in the end be turned in to several Islamic Watch-Dogs along with a general press release.

In recent days the Order of Nine Angles operatives created a false screen name on several social web sites, yet Myatt is still speaking for Islam, so as Magister Alexander pointed out his profiles have been falsified and created, to appear as Myatt, while Myatt would have little interest in small social communities.

Thanks!

Rise Against the Sheep Satanist

Grand Magister Blackwood Leader of Theistic Satanism — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 02:58:08 +0000

Stand your ground Theistic Satanist!
The Leader of Theistic Satanism Grand Magister Blackwood.

I will first clear some air around the Net, overall Theistic Satanism is growing and whether you are against the Temples of Satan or Church of Theistic Satanism it is unimportant, whether you like or dislike me because you have fed into the diatribe and criticism that has been launched, one thing is clear and that is we need to settle our differences amongst those who are soldiers for this deity.

We don’t have to always agree, we can agree to disagree on some platitudes, yet we share common ideologies when we perform rituals, and or “bend a knee” for Satan, Ng, or the countless other man and woman made names our deity is called by you.

We find ourselves at a “cross road” and as people cope with economic disaster and economic meltdown we do need to do one very important thing that is quit embracing those people who take up space, fill our groups with ideologies that are not in line with our deity in any way whatsoever, we need to quit hugging Pagan’s and accepting Christian visitor’s or Muslim visitor’s, or the curious we need to stand up and raise our swords, so later we can raise our cups.

Have you ever wondered how we can kill a God?
We can kill him by making the environment we live in Pure and without his sheep surrounding us in any way whatsoever.

Sheep come in various forms whether it be the Sheep of the Church of Satan, or the Sheep of the Order of Nine Angles, or even the Sheep of the Sinagogue of Satan or even these malformed Churches explaining Religious Tolerance.
Sheep are not always Christian, nor do they always come from Judaism or Islam they surround us with their rotting brains and dirty hoofs are immersed in Satanism with a lust to prey on unsuspecting female or male members for sexual gratification or in the name of some lesser deity know as Lucifer.

The “Fields of Satanism” are covered in Sheep and they spew inane teachings from “sick and twisted freaks” like David Myatt The Terrorist or shovel their shit around about Masonic Satanism while appointing “washed up Priests and Priestesses, to watch over their flocks of sheep or “newbie’s” coming into the religion.

People who charge for membership in Churches and Temples, I have never charged and the coffers are filing nicely from donations, gleaning from providing more than a few pages of diatribe from Anton long or Albert Pike.

Dare the Priest’s or Priestesses of The Sheep point one finger at me or my groups, we are of those in Satanism supporting “Purity and Excellence in Satanism” not “lies and folklore.”

The Sheep dig their heels in and attack people like myself and like you yet their stones seldom hit the mark as the Theistic Satanist’s have one thing no one can remove from them and that is faith and with such faith we can slay any sheep from the Satanic one’s to the Christian Sheep!

Satanist’s need to purge and challenge these individuals and groups expose them for who they are not and expose them for lying about things that little to do with Satanism, but satisfying some Satanist’s sexual desires or filling their pockets with the hard earned money of Satanist’s.

Satanism isn’t E-Commerce nor is it a Social Club start doing and quit talking I call on anyone who is ready to raise a sword and beat back the infidels of any religion that dares attack you or myself for any belief system we have for our deity.

See as complex as Satanism seems it’s simple, yet people make your journey hard by making you jump over hurdles I don’t and neither does the Temples of Satan or Church of Theistic Satanism or even our affiliate churches, but we are not asking for you to join because we have a cause, we ask you to challenge your friends in Satanism to be better and challenge them to raise swords against groups like the Order of Nine Angles, the W.S.A. Or groups that promote false hopes and fake doctrines that reek with Islamic diatribe and flawed ideologies that are reminiscent of Christianity or Islam.

People come to Satanism from all walks of life this is apparent as we add many new members from a diverse base and we add them on we give them a sword, a sword to cut the throats of people in Satanism like Margolin expose the sheep that wallow around creating fake profiles and fake pictures of you and I trying to goad us into their field to lay amongst the sheep.

Dare the groups call me out as a Christian, for no where have I ever wavered in Satanism, and despite attempts to besmirch me and after numerous creations and construct’s I still remain with those in Theistic Satanism as your leader the one to take on the world with you not command or ask you to support me financially, trust me I don’t need your money, just your friendship and understanding that we need to clean our religion up, so we can move it ahead and quit talking about it, but actually do it.

Its hard to motivate everyone, so I ask you to do it a little at a time start to challenge these Sheep of Satanism and ask questions make them prove the diatribe and doctrines they distribute, make them hold water and when they fail as they will do as Satan would destroy the authors and creators we need a clean-up and with such their should be blood.

The Theistic Satanist should never be afraid to hold his sword to the throat of those who are not in it for anything but trying to pour some proverbial Koolaid© in Sheep Flavor in your Silver Chalice.

We are the Army the other Satanist’s will fear as changes lie in works for The Temples of Satan and Church of Theistic Satanism, changes that will shake what remains in Satanism.

Sacrificial Rites restored and Religious Intolerance full circle and mayhem from the new generation of and renewed rites and doctrines we will push to the throats of the sheep that wallow in the fields as we in Theistic Satanism whom know Satan as our deity will serve not as slaves but as his soldiers riding over the sheep carcasses that we will destroy one by one.

Rise up those who serve the deity know by the name Satan and serve not this Temple or Church but serve as a soldier in an army that no person has ever seen an army that will not hesitate to spill the blood of the sheep in order to restore our deity and remember in order to destroy a God one must be ready to destroy his followers.

For those who understand explain this to the new people and so on down the lines, we have drawn the line in the sand tonight and as I said even if you dislike me or our organization, do these things I ask on your own, and destroy the sheep that are misleading people in the name of Satan, you are not alone!

I will draw my sword and you draw your the deity will show us the way and in the end we shall raise our chalice to the fields of dead sheep, some of your friends and social network friends will lay dead in the fields of sheep but as a huge army of one or one hundred thousand we will win then we will finally begin the accomplish the larger war against the worse armada the Muslims, the Jews and the Christian’s until one day the masses will chant Satan not God or Allah or Yahweh but the words of our deity and he will then be pleased.

Tonight we begin!
Hail Theistic Satanism!
Grand Magister Blackwood

July 4th Message!

Grand Magister Blackwood Leader of Theistic Satanism — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 18:32:43 +0000

Wow did Satanist’s forget Patriotism?

After visiting many a board and network, I find myself surrounded with many people who are blind to the transgressions going on around us.
Why?
Is everyone so busy learning the nonsense of Agrippa or Solomon?
On this day July 4th I look to the brave men and women of the Armed Forces and cheerfully thank them for their service, but not just today for hundreds of years and despite the country being founded by Christians, I see the relevance of the Constitution and why we can exalt Free Speech in The United State’s of America.
Although never being able to serve in the Armed Force’s I can imagine myself fighting for our country but most of all or freedom from Tyranny.
Tyranny taken from the pages of Marx, and Engle and numerous other writers who pushed Communism and most of all Progressive Doctrines, which would doom our Liberty.
Can it be stopped?
I know many people are not concerned and ring out the phrase that all politicians and corporations are corrupt, this is further from the truth.
Most of us work for Corporation’s, poor people don’t employ people unless they are doing illegal activities.
Everyday Satanist’s get up and enter Corporate America and go to work in Small Business’s both are eroding at a pace that is alarming, while some work in Government others receive the “unending welfare checks”.
Wherever your income comes from it is produced in some way by Corporate America, unless you don’t work then your voice doesn’t matter!
If you don’t vote you don’t count either at least in the decision making processes so shut up on political viewpoints, because you are talking with no action.
People if they don’t work or don’t vote are irrelevant voices to me, and people who speak of tyranny are just as terrible, like anarchists who if they won, would kill themselves finding a leader.
Obama is not a Patriot, his lack of this shows through and I am appalled to believe people are so blind to the fact that our current President is heading us in the wrong direction.
One simply needs to study Greece!

As much as people study the Occult, you think people would study things related to history, but as in Satanism its cool to act like a God (not really) but it’s probably a waste of time to read the Constitution or support the troops, its easier to blame Bush who isn’t running the country anymore.
Liberty and the Presidency are not things that you can do on the job training for!
Satanist’s seem to misunderstand Judaism and blame all the religion for their failures and I even think they blame the government and big corporation’s because they can’t fit in.
Example’s are rampant to the current lack of Patriotism and I see rung’s of Satanist’s touting Obama and even Congressmen.
Robert Byrd one of the oldest people in Congress recently died, but people fail to research his past and realize he was connected to the Klu Klux Klan which is one of the Christian’s Greatest Insurrection’s against Black America.
This is not a Conspiracy Theory!

I even saw Canadian Satanist’s join in the rioting in Toronto trying to hold signs up about Satanism, when this meeting of the mindless in which Obama was laughed out of by European Leaders was held this action show’s the inherent lack of intelligence by the Canadian Satanist’s that participated.

Anarchy is not a Theistic Satanic venue!
Or are the Theistic Satanist’s, a new group of people who are Patriot’s and are really stuck behind the faults of Christian’s in the Left or Right Wing and unable to put a voice out anywhere being a Patriot.

The war is Obama’s now, so those stuck still blaming Bush are doing our soldiers a great disservice, by not recognizing this current President’s mishaps and poor behavior’s likened to a mental midget.
All of the certificates and accomplishment’s don’t give people the right to just rule over everyone in a tyrannic manner, but I as many didn’t vote for this system or this Marx leaning Presidency.

With seventy days plus of Environmental Disaster in the Gulf, and our President golfing and holding lavish dinner parties in the White House, who is really wrong?
Corporation’s?
The Government?
Both?
I think there are problems in Corporate America but that is for the Commerce Department to fix, not put all kinds of taxes and laws breaking the back of Small Business’s.
I think the problem is not in the pay but in the still ever reaching lobbyist front which seems to have Obama’s ear as the “ear marks” continue and certain corporations glean rich contract’s from Liberal Congressmen that are looking towards careers outside the Washington Beltway.

We do need more changes, but changes to grow jobs in this country I can only wish I had a clean past I would do a Patriot duty and serve in Congress or in even in Local Government because its simple to fix our economy:
Drill Everywhere!

Sell the excess oil to China and India and lower the price per barrel, consumer’s will be able to drive anything again and pay less at the pump having more to spend elsewhere, drilling would also create jobs that pay thirty dollars an hour plus which creates tax revenue and spending.

End Government Union Subsidies!
Make the Union’s keep money for pensions and force them to get out of politics and special interest groups.

Mandatory Drug Test all people receiving benefits!
If you have time to inhale, you have time to look for a job, and if you fraud the system you are out on benefits forever.

Build Nuclear Plants!
In Europe they still build them, get construction jobs back, these projects are 10 year average projects to build and employ thousands.

Honor our troops by paying for retraining and complete health care, allow people who serve to become citizens and pay the troops more money.

Increase Space and Military Research and Development!
This will re-employ laid off workers in this industry.

Graduate the benefits received on unemployment!
People are lacking the incentive to look for work or retrain by going from 400 a week down to 100 a week on a gradual scale will save the Government thousand and allow them money to refund other programs.

End National Public Radio or the Endowment for the Arts!
Allow these companies and non profits to make money and quit forcing people to pay for content that is almost as boring as Rachael Madow.

Allow Gay and Lesbian’s to marry!
This will weaken the strong-hold of Christian’s on Government.

Fund Green Technology as it progresses, not force it move ahead.
I don’t personally support Global Warming I think it is a false way to sell a Progressive Agenda but that another day.
If we fund it at the technology rate not give billions for things that won’t work we will give our children and their children a world of safety.

Eliminate Most Federal Agencies!
Get out the way of business’s and regulate from a state level instead of national.

I didn’t include legalization of prostitution or marijuana, both both could be considered if regulated by the state such as testing and strict requirements on Medical Marijuana.

Beyond the bitching, and crying these things may or may not be ever installed but lets talk about what we can do, get off your ass support candidates that are Patriots and support our troops and Capitalism, because when it dies so will this country!

Honor our Troops, Honor Satan!
Be A Patriot, not a Progressive!
Hail Satanist’s!

Myatt “Galactic Liar” Order of Nine Angles Exposed

Grand Magister Blackwood Leader of Theistic Satanism — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:17:15 +0000

The Truth on Reverend Blackwood Q and A

Grand Magister Blackwood Leader of Theistic Satanism — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 22:41:47 +0000

Would the Real Satanist’s Please Stand-up? Questions and Answers by Alexander and answers by
Reverend Blackwood

For several years a “handful” of people have critically attacked the Temples of Satan and it’s membership, claiming all kinds of different things and happenings that are merely designed to mislead and misdirect people in general.

So once again due to the misdirects and falsehoods exhibited by a few I offer up a brief question and answer paper to answer any or all questions that linger around in peoples minds as to who I am and who Temples of Satan is and plans to be, I would like to thank M. Alexander for asking so many straight forward and poignant questions.

Q. When was the Temples of Satan founded:
A. January 2000 by Grand Mage Wynter and Grand Magister Blackwood.

Q. What state was the Temples of Satan founded?
A. Michigan and Texas.

Q. What is the Church of Theistic Satanism?
A. It was founded by Magister Alexander, and Grand Magister Blackwood (now Reverend Blackwood)in Chicago IL. It currently is ran by Magister Cade and Magistra Wyrd and is governed by by-laws of the original Temples of Satan, this group is the future of Theistic Satanism.

http://www.churchofsatanism.org/

Q. It is rumored that in 2001 many members vacated organization.
A. Actually 2001 was a incredible year and many members did leave for Grand Mage Wynter’s Group which is not part of yet is affiliated to The Temples of Satan.

Q. What about your O.N.A. Plan gone wrong?
A. I was mislead along with many in media as well that the organization truly existed it was never intended to exist, and the works of Myatt also known as Anton Long and today Abdul Azize were fabricated in a brilliant manner to actually brainwash many into thinking this organization was a real living breathing organization, when in fact it is merely a loose bad of people who formed internet organizations under the command of no centralized leadership base.

Q. If you know so much about the O. N.A . why don’t you rekindle it?
A. The Order of Nine Angles was produced and directed by a small group of terrorists in England and exported to the United States, where it capriciously went underground, in actually it never sparked in the United States until the advent of the Internet.

Q. Terrorists?
A. Abdul a.k.a. Myatt, a.k.a. The Founder of the Order of Nine Angles Anton Long has connections to known Islam Groups that are connected to Bin Laden, and for any Satanist’s or Occultists to tioe themselves into terrorists is just “Un-Patriotic.”
A simple Google Search reveals the truth and the organization are doing their best to cover such information up, I have found the actual numbers of Order of Nine Angle claimants to under one hundred or less.

Q. How many members does the Temples of Satan comprise of?
A. Membership totals are kept private, however On-line we comprise of 6 E-Groups, 2 Ning Groups, 3 Forums and 3 Yahoo Groups and 2 Google Groups respectively we have an estimated over 1000 members, however true numbers are held private.
We are on and off line and enjoy more on line than than off-line like most every other group does as well.

Q. Offline is weak?
A. Offline is weak for all groups, since the membership is often times scattered across ed the globe, members interact on-line more than offline The Temples of Satan meets often, yet attendance varies and often times is rather comprised of interested from various paths, and few from Satanism, it is a big draw when a ritual or party is announced, but many make up excuses since our religion is not out of the closet fully.

Q. I heard you were kicked out of My Satan at Ning?
A. Eric a Internet “Guru” and Satanic Wanna-be decided to hand out spears and attack me by not allowing me to post as I wished and changing Terms of Service on the fly and opening posts I closed caused me more havoc than it was worth, so glad to be removed.

Q. Seems to be a problem?
A. I don’t see it as a problem while other organization’s “kiss ass” and play pretend unity a moral equivalence to “Patty Cake” we chose our affiliated organization’s and refuse to unify with Modern Satanist’s and or derivatives.
Purity and Excellence is our way of comprehending Satanism as a Theistic Satanist.

Q. Nude Photo’s?
A. My critic’s have worked overtime to Photo Shop© quite a collection of creations, the photo’s are edited since I am a bit longer and wider than shown and I am large framed yes at 6-2 and a honest 270 I am muscular and wide and not ashamed of my body weight.
I have zero photo’s nude all are fakes!

Q. Rumor has it your Gay?
A. I was married to a Porn Star (female) for 3 years and have a son named Elric, who resides in California with his mother, I have been close but at press time I busy with several great looking women and will continue to hunt for a great woman.
I am straight and will continue to support both Gay and Lesbian Membership and even being Conservative support numerous rights of Gay and Lesbian People.

Q. Are you Jewish?
A. No I am ¼ Italian ¼ Polish and ½ Norwegian.

Q. Do you hate Jews?
A. I do not hate Judaism and would tend to support Jewish Action against Islamic Radicals in the World.
Satanist’s should fight Islam a start could be the Order of Nine Angles whose author is a Terrorist.

Q. What about the O. N. A. why don’t you join?
A. I will support a recent group I met its online only at this time, however they do not use the complete teachings of a terrorist, and actually interact well with me that is why I can only think the groups lead by the W.S.A. and screen-name “Pointy Hat” are merely attempts to create fake groups that comprise of people who are very glib and pseudo in nature.
So weak are these individuals that they refuse to go by any form of real name, it can assumed they are merely school kids or “wanna be’s” who could never be anything but a critic in Satanism many perhaps are even Pseudo.
People have contacting me and then used my extension of the “olive branch” to attempt to poison my groups and organization which as always was seen before it made waves.
With constant attacks on me and lack of originality by the leadership who seem preoccupied with designing misleading facts and misinformation about me verses leading anyone down any kind of path.

Q. Why are they attacking you?
A. It is simple they are comprised of individuals who know very well my words can damage the cults they assemble and that I know more than most of the people who float around calling themselves Order of Nine Angle members.

Q. Explain the doctrine of this mysterious Order of Nine Angles?
A. Alien’s, Self Immolation, Sinister Acts, Culling all “buzz words” for a inane man’s works which pale to the text’s that the future designs for Theistic Satanism
We will be issuing interesting texts and doctrines Free of the “Boogieman”

Q. What about Spirits and Death?
A. Spirits are lost amongst the dimensions and offer up frequent visitations to humans, however offer up little of no servitude to the weak minded as servitude is reserved for the adept and such servitude can only be obtained by ritual intend and frequent practice.
Death is all but a renewal into a dimension where one will live forever and with The Lord and Master and one day rule Earth with him, we do not rationalize the Christian Concept of Satan but look to Sumeria and Egypt for answers to our roots and realize many conceptions and theories exist to many to tie ourselves down to any one origin, it is preferred to be a “work in progress.”

Q. 501-3 C Status Can you prove it?
A. Recently we changed the name at the register and are required to re-file appropriate documentation,a s to the fact our status will be changing this information is held privately as we do not issue stock to the public and are held by a different Non Profit than our original name, which has numerous 501-3-C’s pending at this time.

Q. I can’t find you on Wiki Pedia?
A. We have been removed by a rival organization and will return after 2010, however we enjoy huge traffic levels and membership increases without needing the Wiki Business Model, we are probably the strongest in the Blogisphere.

Q. I heard you are going to jail!
A. Hardly a fictitious report was filed with E-Cops by the Sin-A-goons of Satan leader Mike and as everything he does it failed, no action taken and no bail needed, all these attempts to attack me are worthless of course.

Q. Mike Margolin isn’t he a Cult Leader and didn’t he run for President?
Mr. Mike as I like to call him has had some poetry published I guess and even ran for President as you can see as well as reporting me to E-Cops for attacking him on the Net none the less, his Cult is not large at all and is no longer being attacked by Temples of Satan Clergy or myself since his group is so small and unsuccessful they are not even on our radar anymore.
Failure to be President, well someone who admits to selling more than marijuana and fighting for more rights to openly smoke it it is easy to see why he and his band of Cultist’s are not worth the fight anymore!

Q. This person with a screen- name of Kori Houghton, does she know you personally?
A. She is another critic that has taken up the cause to attack me, yet offers up nothing but glib humorous commentary attempting to halt progress in the Satanic Community.

Q. Bold isn’t it to call Satanism a Community?
A. It is simply a microcosm of a community and people accept Satanism everyday and their path and find things within the Occult Community a matter of interest.

Q. Do you practice magic?
A. I practice magic but not regularly I am always studying to enhance my base of knowledge and fully conceive I will never know all the intrinsic aspects of magic, my form is a blend of Arabia and African and very powerful in nature.
I however fully believe that it is not required to be a great worshiper or dedicated individual in order to practice magic, nor is magic a requisite of being a great worshiper or dedicate to a deity.

Q. What do you expect to accomplish in Satanism?
A. Awareness and acceptance of “Purity and Excellence.”

Q. What can you explain more?
A. In other words more acceptance and understanding that Theistic Satanism has purpose and to eventually construct a Temple to Satan.

Q. Aliens and Satanism as described by The Joy of Satan, do you share such views?
A. While The Joy of Satan is in turmoil I do have to say there is much evidence supporting visitations by beings to early civilizations and perhaps even an offering of “light” technologies in construction.
I however do not expound on hatred of any class or civilization related to Judaism and do not offer up hatred to Judaism in anyway whatsoever, I do often expound on the miss-steps of Islam as often as possible since groups like the Order of Nine Angles founder is mired in Terrorism and hatred for the West both actions not in order with Real Satanism or The Occult typically.

Q. The Church of Satan is the leading organization in Satanism what about them?
A. Howard Stanton L a Vey a former carnival showman launched a very exciting project during the times of the hippies and “psychedelic drug years” which was to move Satanism into the forefront of media attention, however it was an attempt to market Atheism dressed in a Halloween Costume and not something that represented the known Deity, it is Pseudo Satanism at its best, along came many in his steps to attach themselves to the ideology including myself once.
I learned from La Vey’s mistakes and miscues and left the organization at the request of now incarcirated William Gidney and have never looked back.

Q. You started the Worldwide Order of Satanist’s in 1990?
A. Now defunct I started it with the help of many others founding it on Modern Satanic Principles it soon grew and eclipsed even the Church of Satan, however my desires and lusts for numerous female members and discord at my true calling caused it to break up in a wild fire that would inspire me to form the Temples of Satan in 2000 from the ashes of the my original creation, few members are still around however I have 3 members who are from the original group in the Temples of Satan today.

Q. What happened with Russell Smith and the W.W.O.S.?
A. The Russell Smith incident blew up in my face as a High Priestess of mine hid him while he was a fugitive of justice after he was sought for child molestation and other charges, Russell Smith was part of the group that disjointed from the W.W.O.S. And formed the Order of Perdition which was formed to attack me and comprised primarily of the former clergy of the W.W.O.S.

Q. Why do you attack people and why do people hate you?
A. I am not bitter I am passionate about Satanism, I will not let people stand in the way of progress I will call out any and all who attempt to mislead and bring forward Satanism by myself if required.
I also know that without critics you are not known, while some desire anonymity I don’t and can only hope to help others from the darkness of not being able to confess that they worship Satan.

Q. What about Satan?
A. What about him, the name yes the name is accepted by our deity, however it is not his true name but a human equivalence thereof, I believe we are incapable of understanding his real name since his language is much older than English, perhaps a hint suggests if we could speak Sumer.

Q. What about you and your Escort Service?
A. I officially closed it in 2008 this was due in part to several problems with legality and several problems with Law Enforcement, and aspirations to pursue other venues, I now own a small trucking firm and sometimes drive myself in pursuit of the “all mighty dollar.”

Q. Why are you still single?
A. Still? I have had numerous relationships since my marriage fell apart “all in all” I am far too picky and often think I will have to stumble ac crossed a former escort, so she can understand my mentality when it comes to relationships I favor 50/50 and often will abandon a relationship not supporting the concept.
I only date petite women and prefer shorted women I have been sighted with anything from a model to a average girl and often will be invited to parties since I do have a “Devilish Tongue.”
Read my upcoming Blog The Psycho Psychic.

Q. Is there more besides the History Channel?
A. Yes I have many upcoming appearances and inclusions I have left The Temples of Satan pursuant of providing public awareness of Theistic Satanism, that appearance was incredible and I have many more coming up, so stay tuned I got work, I ask other do you?

Q. Spoofs are everywhere on you and how can a person know it’s you?
A. In the day ahead I will undergo changes that will allow my work to be seen free of spoofs and fakes that provide falsehood to Satanism.
I have fought people for years and all the photo work and fake emails aside I am still around and stronger than ever so no words or photo’s will stop the effects of my passion.

Q What is you mission for 2010 and how will it effect the Satanic Community?
A. My mission is larger and greater than most, besides finishing an expansion of my business which in turn will fund projects that include many yet be announced to the membership base.

I have several appearances scheduled which as the History Channel appearance will benefit the community as a whole exposing more and explaining more than ever before including great new insights in Satan and his historical part he plays in our civilizations growth and prosperity.
I also near the end of the year release a series of insights to the World Media explaining the “cult atmosphere” which is going on the Satanic Community.

By the end of the month I will link to an important Islamic Site detailing some information that will silence the Order of Nine Angles and then in turn help the Order of Nine Angles I ran into recently who are “very supportive” and are open to introduce so of my writings into their educational process and actually form for once an active organization I will not be a part or administrate this effort just support them.

Q. How will you protect the name of your former organization in 2010 and future projects?
A. All materials I release are going to be copyrighted and sites providing copy of my materials without checking and verification of my real identity will be challenged and have copy removed over the course of the year for copyright infringement is a very serious offense, and violates most hosting Terms of Service.

Q. What else can we expect and why did you resign?
A. I have a bigger mission and the Temples of Satan is currently self sufficient I will post and participate but rules and other edicts will now come from Clergy as appointed by the Clergy of The Temples of Satan, which is a honor to those who have accepted.
I had to resign and with such I give back my Grand Magister title to the organization that gave it me, so now I am a Reverend as ordained.

I have complete confidence in my appointees and will look to help to them, however I must help the Satanic Community now and allow the organization to grow further as a watcher and help when I can and of course my desires are to help others overall as always my service to The Deity is first and foremost and decisions are based on his eventual return to Earth.

Q. You spent 2009 attacking organizations why?
A. I didn’t attack them personally as they did me, but I have always believed that people don’t like misinformation and the others have provided much in the way of disjointed and glib information over the last year regarding Satanism, this can not be allowed by those who are devoted.

Reality comes into play here if you allow organization’s to mislead people I am almost sure our Deity looks upon in disgust his dedicates who do little or nothing and remain silent, when it comes to those who are misleading great people by providing lies and deceitful documentation that is assembled to mislead and fraud those who are coming to the religion.

Satanism Can’t Afford Billboards?

Grand Magister Blackwood Leader of Theistic Satanism — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 06:37:56 +0000

How sad is Satanism?
By Grand Magister Blackwood
A Criticism of Inactivity and a Plan of Action.
The Islamic Circle of North America has been named in “a list of our organizations and the organizations of our friends” by the Muslim Brotherhood, which is bent on waging “a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”
Works and Promotion by Islamic Groups aligned with one another in an almost unstoppable wall of protection from “religious persecution” are dangerous and provide protection to groups including The Nation of Islam which is a on a Temples of Satan list of dangerous groups.
Farakan’s work is unacceptable to The Temples of Satan and he remains on a exclusive target list possessed by High Clergy of The Temples of Satan and this groups works are unacceptable making them a planned target as well.
They say they want to encourage dialog via these billboards. Great. I’ll start. The billboard says that Islam is “the way of life of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus & Muhammad.”
That is a reflection of the Islamic supremacist notion, rooted in the Qur’an (3:67, 5:116, 9:30, etc.), that the Biblical prophets taught Islam, and their messages were corrupted by their followers to create what we know of today as Judaism and Christianity.
In this view, Judaism and Christianity have no legitimacy whatsoever: they are renegade, twisted, hijacked versions of the original Islam.
For years Islam has hid behind it’s protection and ability to convince liberals that it is a peaceful religion it however is not when one reads a Arabic Version of The Qur’an will find it laden with threats of destruction to all who do not find themselves loyal to Allah, this again is unacceptable to The Temples of Satan and its clergy.
A Press Article Included:
“Billboards going up to promote Islam,” by Bob Von Sternberg for the Star Tribune, December 15 (thanks to Block Ness):
Hoping to encourage interfaith dialogue, an Islamic organization will unveil a pair of billboards in Minneapolis this week.
The Minnesota chapter of the Islamic Circle of North America plans to unveil the billboards Friday, the eve of the Islamic New Year.
The billboards will be located along Hiawatha Avenue in south Minneapolis and Central Avenue on the north side.
They are part of a nationwide multimedia campaign that also includes placing posters on buses and subways in other big cities.
The billboards will display a toll-free telephone number where people can get answers to questions about Islam, as well as obtain free copies of the Qur’an and other Islamic literature.
“Got Questions? Get Answers,” the billboard states.
In a prepared statement, the campaign’s organizers are quoted as saying, “Islam is often a misunderstood religion, leading some to hold bias view of Islam with discrimination and suspicion of Muslims. This ad campaign will provide an opportunity for the people of Twin Cities to take a fresh and positive look at Islam.”
Islam is dangerous and it cannot be allowed to spread in the United States even with Freedom of Religion we still are allowed the freedom to be free from the actions of such and perhaps more than just a few can take up swords not in offense, but in defense of Satan.
Here a question for Satanism? Or a least the pure and excellent form Theistic how long before we as a religion will stand up and place our own billboards or are we comprised of broke and hapless victims of Modern Satanic Values that promote oneself and not a group effort, I and the Clergy of The Temples of Satan are determine in 2010 to promote Theistic Satanism regardless if the other groups like it or not, time and time again we have always been at the forefront of the fight and will continue to move ahead while others remain mire in drama.

Sinagouge of Satan Exposed Satanic Maniacs

The Sin- A-Goons of Satanism :

Sinagouge of Satan:

Satanism Exposed By Grand Magister Blackwood and Others.

Recently I decided to retract an earlier criticism, but anger and hatred prevail in “The Sin-A Goons.”

I along with numerous Temples of Satan membership and clergy have been paying a visit to the Internet’s Chat Rooms visiting membership and clergy of the Sinagouge of Satan to get the following responses from their “wacky”leaders and clergy Mike Margolin and Knife Sotelo both

social misfits for certain.

Knife Sotelo a “wanna-be” rapper and gangster and worse “wanna-be” Satanic Leader remained silent through the mess that ensued when Theistic Satanists began to rip apart at the “soft underbelly” of The Singagouge of Satan lead by admitted Margolin, with claims as far fetched as Knife’s in the Rap Community.

First he was approached by a Black Moon Society Founder and Former Temples of Satan Founder the renown G. M. Wynter, after several questions that were not malicious and asked about the general belief system of the Sinagouge of Satan he was removed via banning from the conversation, shortly thereafter I attacked but not for what I have written but glib and pseudo intellectual “name calling” which I hedged off with kindness and a attempt to calm the situation.

Margolis was not the have the calm he continued to banter and attack, but before he did so he released some very damaging information I will share with those who take Satanism seriously.

Mike admitted to selling Crack Cocaine in front of myself and two Temples of Satan members, and also condoned the behavior as acceptable, he also expounded of his fondness for Marijuana and expounded on how he felt it perfectly fine to prescribe it anyone who doctors deemed fit to use it.

This behavior is not something of a Great Leader but someone who preys on people for friendship and provides little but more useless “besmirching”of the Satanic Community, which as we all know already has a bad enough past thanks to the former Howard Stanton L aVey and his “C.o.S. Goons.”

If one is to partake in drugs at least have the class to not admit to in the public eye, I am accepting of many things but as you have the right to do it, I have the right to be critical and or be safe from it.

I ask membership if your founder gets busted during a ritual, you may also be taken to the station, and alerting people of this behavior is like telling people you shoplifted yesterday at K-Mart®!

So think this was just a bad day at Margolin’s house I revisited the “self proclaimed” Mad Poet, and found out his background was based on Thelema, which in not way whatsoever fits into the slot of Satanism in anyway whatsoever and it is clearly stated by Golden Dawn Member Kale in this reprinted article as follows:

Hi Blackwood, to answer you question Thelema has no roots based in Satanism, and it is sad that anyone could even place the two together in this world, we share Crowley but even his text’s are constantly replaced by Golden Dawn Initiates and Adepts to further ourselves from Satanism.

Thanks

Kale Radcliff

Golden Dawn Adept (99)

So what is this organization or should I say disorganization, so far we have seen very little other than a few negative clergy booting people from chat rooms and carrying on about people and attacking people as they ask questions related to the Sinagouge of Satan.

I have also engaged in such behavior in the past myself but, grew out of it choosing my battles carefully and choosing them at my leisure, I answer questions now regarding the Organization and keep myself out except for releases correcting rumors, which often times are started by people like Mike and his gang of Sin-A-Goons of Satan.

It is sad that I have to root out these Pseudo Groups but perhaps the Sin-A-Goons of Satan are a affiliate of the Brotherhood of Satan where one can prosper and enjoy life thanks to some “fake doctrines’ they never produce other than to claim such.

There is no Secret Doctrines in Satanism, no chest waiting to be opened nothing new, but plenty of old and historical along with new stuff written because of the old, but it remains that the Sinagouge of Satan remains another group intent on leading some sheep to a “proverbial trough of falsehood.”

Sinful people!

Margolin describes his group!

When will today’s Satanist understand that Satanism is not about Vampires and Goth and come to realize as I and many of the Real Satanist’s do Satan however being a title created in Judaism is a Real Deity and he asks for no servitude but devotion and has little use for those who are unable to do anything but mislead people for self serving “ego trips.”

Satanism with Purity and Excellence

The Temples of Satan

Lets break down the text and explain truth to everyone here today!

Temples of Satan Clergy and myself will comment and explain most of this “outlandish and inane” introduction designed for those who are Satanic Sheep!

This religion is not based on those of the popular Satanists of our day, Hollywood or Christian propaganda, except for Aleister Crowley.

This was earlier dismissed by Kale, as being further from the truth, while some in Satanism enjoy Crowley or even “cross over” to Thelema there are no evident connections to the Real Satan in his works, while Crowley remains a Occult Icon, his works are subject to doubt and or question, and could never cornerstone any Satanic Movement or Community.

His connection with the Freemasons and the fact we took our name from a short story in his book Konx om Pax, called “Thien Tao; or, The Synagogue of Satan.”Cannot be denied nor can we deny being a by-product of the Thelemic family.

No one can deny his connection however his worked are not commonly taught to Masons and or Freemasons in gatherings and or lodges, they may have once been examined but are not typically expounded amongst membership.

John Poundstone

Freemason Since 1972

As members you have the right to believe in whatever you like as long as you don’t push your beliefs on others. The aim of this religion is the ultimate destruction of religions through the advancement of individual freedom and social responsibility. The philosophy of SoS undermines all existing religions including our own. Thus the SoS Philosophy is based on a paradox, much like the Tao.

Having no purpose is the “falsehood La Vey preached and Freedom is something of Liberty not always appropriate in circles of religions based on the Occult.

G.M. Dergsien

Temples of Satan Clergy

By not having any set reality or belief you are not trapped by their rules, and are free to start making your own. This is freedom, the breaking away from the status quo, much like when Satan broke ranks from God and became the first revolutionist. It’s funny how governments promote god worship when most modern governments owe their existence to Freemasonry and revolution, the dream of freedom, the spirit of Satan.

Rules and Laws by mankind are appropriate as long as they don’t remove our right to practice our religion, as we are free to allow you practices, we are also free to compare, discuss and disolve your falsehoods for the betterment.

Grand Magister Blackwood

Temples of Satan Founder

It’s no wonder governments and religions, actively partake in propaganda against Satanism for they truly fear being overthrown. As for America, Satanism is Americanism, for America supports freedom of religion in the same Masonic context that SoS does. Though certain religions in America attempt to combat this, our wonderful constitution, (written by Freemasons) prevents them from achieving their goals.

Propaganda comes from the Christian Church and not the government, Satanic Panic was launched by zealots from the media and disgruntled membership, who thus turned on the organization’s and was fueled by countless pyscho-babble spawned from Anton La Vey.

Magister Alexander

Temples of Satan Clergy

Enslavement in any form religious or otherwise is un-American. Therefore I declare any and all religious groups that do not support freedom of religion, un-American. Also certain fads or movements that harass people for their personal choices such as hairstyle, piercing, sex, tattoos, music and much more are also un-American. Yes SoS reaches far past the United States boarders. And no, unlike my government, I’m not trying spread the American culture to other countries. But I am trying to spread the Light of Phosphor, the light of freedom throughout the world.

Wow so your Pagan, and not Satanic interesting Mike!

Grand Magister Blackwood

Temples of Satan Founder

I obtained legal recognition for this mass manipulation scheme From the State of California and The Federal government of the United States of America, by utilizing my authority as an Ordained Minister of Universal Life Church Ministries (U.L.C.M). U.L.C.M., the Unitarians and the new Satanic unity movement, accept most faiths, but are predominately Christian or stylized Satanist in nature and actually exist to enslave you.

A Scheme? Perhaps better words could be laid out to the public!

Magister Tomlinson

Temples of Satan Clergy

As you can clearly see, I learned a little bit from their game and used it to turn the tide in Satan’s favor. Rather in your favor as consumers of prepackaged mail-order religions/realities. You can see although we are predominately Satanic/Thelemic/Masonic in nature SoS accepts all Religious Beliefs, Styles, Races, Cultures, Ideologies, Nationalities, Sexuality’s etc. etc. As long as those that wish to join accept the premise that each individual has the undeniable right to his or her choice of reality no matter what you’re personal religion or choice dictates. We do not try to sway you into accepting Atheism, Freemasonry, Satanism, or Thelemism, for that is not our aim or goal. Our aim and goal is freedom as it always will be.

So how about the Sinagouge of Universal Life Church and leave Satanism behind to the Real Satanist’s.

Grand Magister Blackwood

Temples of Satan Founder

We offer a system to surf realities/beliefs, as you will, without being engulfed, submersed, suppressed, or subservient to any of them including ours. We are a “Free” Church in all the possible definitions of the word. And freedom is only found in the mind, for the physical world and its systems, such as society bind us. With freedom comes a great responsibility to our neighbors in this society. For as seen so many times, one mans freedom becomes another mans slavery.

As Members of SoS I ask you to view reality/beliefs as the unalienable right of every one. But I do support your full-blown assaults on those that would infringe upon your rights, as long as you execute your attacks in a legal and productive manner. (We do not turn the other Cheek, unless it’s to buy time to smite with discretion). Hopefully by your mannerisms, diplomacy and actions more people might see that freedom is not evil and people can be socially responsible without a threat of hell, jail or ostracism. Please do remember it is their right to live and die in a fairy tale just as it is your right to live and die, as you will. Besides, tolerance is not acceptance, you don’t have to like someone or thing to tolerate them or it.

Now, one last thing, we ask you to abide by the laws of your countries and local governments as they pertain to you and to take an active role in changing them as you feel is needed.

But what about Freedom, Mike please did you have a speech writer for The President prepackage this for you or write this for you?

Wow so I get it your really another group of Reverse Christians who refuse to come out from “Mom’s Basement.”

 “Tune in, Turn on, Take over!” {Revised Timothy Leary saying}

 “Tune in.” Learn about your political system and environment.

 “Turn on.” Learn to use the system and your understanding of the environment involved.

 “Take over.” Manipulate and change the system and environment as needed for social advancement and freedom.

Interesting works well in a Anarchist State, but in Satanism?

SoS has ambassador and priesthood positions. These are reserved for SoS members that accept the SoS religion as well with their own personal belief system. Members of other beliefs are not allowed this privilege, for they can obtain such status through other groups. Ambassadors and priest/priestess positions exist to serve the members, not to be served by them. For more information on these positions see: “Structure / Goals and more”.

Don’t forget to go to the Universal Life Church and buy your positions!

Grand Magister Blackwood

The Temples of Satan (Real Satanic Priestesses and Priests not U.L.C.)

SoS exists to give subcultures and minority religions a legal connection to their beliefs that can be used in a court of law if the need arises. Such as housing, job discrimination and harassment. And insuring religious rights while in the military services. SoS is also known as “The Hermit Path”. We exist for all the people in this world that enjoy their independence in all aspects of life. Until now this vast number of individuals lacked a legal connection to their religious rights. Governments and societies ignore the needs of the individual and cater only to mainstream groups they find acceptable for the society. By creating this religion I have forged a path that all may tread, thus giving the once voiceless a voice and the once weak, strength in numbers. SoS is not affiliated with any other satanic groups and is not bound by any other group’s authority. We do however have a close relationship with the E.G.C. within Ordo Templi Orientis, They were kind enough to grant us the right to use and adapt E.G.C. rituals for SoS needs and for this I’m eternally grateful, for we are the only satanic group to have a connection with an order of antiquity and Freemasonry. Yes I am an inactive O.T.O. member and they still have my love, respect and support, but my view of the world cannot be restricted by any one system, therefore I am a hermit.

Inactive membership in the Golden Dawn or O.T.O. means you didn’t pay your dues!

Perhaps instead of a “Bag of Weed” you should send the organization a check or money order Mad Poet!

Kale

Member Golden Dawn

SoS is for free thinking independent people. If you prefer a more closed-minded, stringent reality than SoS, our religion is probably not for you and I ask you please refrain from joining. SoS makes no claims as far as the “True Satanic path” or any “True Way”. I created this religion for people to think and grow for themselves and at their own pace with the power of like minded people to support them. We make no claims of superiority nor do we war with other groups, unless it‘s a case of defense. Never in the history of man has there ever been an organized religion set up in this manner. All our predecessors have bound their members in some way or another. “The Word of Sin is Restriction.” Therefore we do not demand our members uphold any system or belief.

Did he copy and paste this from The Temples of Satan and add some glib commentary.

Magister Alexander

Temples of Satan Clergy

We have no central temple or lodge. Our priests/priestesses and ambassadors often hold meetings and classes in their homes and online. Please be respectful guests for none of us accept money for our time and services this is also new as far as religions go. Our work and attendance is a “Labor Of Love” not monitory advancement. Since our birth on 1-29-99 we have received many attacks by other groups but we do not retaliate too much and when we do it’s usually with Satanic humor. For we understand that our system is a threat to all current systems of beliefs.

Your behavior speaks against your writing here and this was evident in front of the Temples of Satan membership who visited your forums and chat systems and of course as I figured as your life as in a drug induced state so should be your Organization, perhaps Knife will create a Rap Song about this attack, but as usual it will never sell, Jay Z and Dr. Dre won’t answer his calls.

Magister Alexander

Temples of Satan Clergy

So folks as you can plainly see another organization that is out there expounding the falsehoods and craziness that is Satanism, it is sad but perhaps if you seek truth, perhaps you desire purity and excellence just visit Real Satanism.

Thanks
