There is an abundance of misinformation available claiming to illustrate Satanism. Most of this "knowledge" is so far removed from authentic Satanism (also known as Luciferism) as to be beyond any humour whatsoever. Here then is a brief dissertation explaining genuine Satanism.

Satanism

To gain an understanding of authentic Satanism it is necessary for the individual to be able to disassociate what they may have been taught from confused humanists, misbehaved christians, dabbling cabalistists and a whole host of other false claimants as well as to recognise that much that has been reported in a some what historical fashion has invariably been tainted by those who actually (for many reasons, powr being the most abundant) oppose Satanism.

Thus the attending individual would both be armed against his or her oppressors (often through the use of poisons as well as spiritual and magical means) and enjoy a taste of life (albeit in a somewhat clandestine fashion) with the edicts and unjust burdens of such "authorities" removed. In this fashion was the true spirit of Lucifer (known as Satan after the fall) invoked and valued by the participants.

Satanism is not simply a direct opposite response to Judeo-Christian scripture. Those that claim such do not have the understanding of Cathar inversion. (The Cathars would often conduct seemingly orthodox Christian rites but have the true meaning veiled. Those of like nature understood, for example, that when the priest stated "God" it was not, in all actuality, addressing the Judeo-Christian deity. Such were the operations able to be carried out publicly without fear of drawing the wrath of the authorities of the Christian church.) Luciferism invokes and upraises the true spirit of Satan as the archetypical rebel against unjust (and unrightfully assumed) authority while also empowering the individual and celebrating this vital spark of life. Any arguments to the contrary are born either of ignorance or fear, or both.

Liber Serpente is a publication of the Ordo Serpentis that introduces and empowers genuine seekers to tread upon the Luciferan path.

Ordo Serpentis publications 2011CE - 2013CE.

I Liber Serpente (The Book of the Serpent): A concise introduction to Satanism and Satanic ritual.
II Liber Veneno Serpentis (Book of the Serpent's Venom): Truth that shatters many of the lies of the veil.

Note: On page 55 of Liber Serpente and page 10 of The Satanic Scriptures there was a typographical error. "Praised by Lucifer!" Should read: "Praised be Lucifer!"
This has now been corrected.

If you be of kindred spirit; May the darkness bless your way with the true flame. Fiat!
