THE INVERSE PENTAGRAM & THE MEANING OF SATANISM
|
|
|
|
While it is obviously true that some teenagers, heavy metal rock fans, and
|
|
some immature adults use the inverse pentagram as nothing more than a
|
|
shock-device, such people should not be confused with sincere adherants of
|
|
Satanism.
|
|
|
|
_Satanic Humanism_
|
|
|
|
The inverse pentagram is used by Satanists as a symbol of their
|
|
humanist philosophy and creative individualism. This humanism, it must be
|
|
emphasised, is antithetical to that of the liberal variety, which shares
|
|
with Christianity and other slave creeds the demand for an enforced
|
|
egalitarianism and universal herd-conformity.
|
|
|
|
Satanic humanism, to the contrary. recognizes the primacy of the
|
|
outstanding, creative individual above the mass (a hierarchy of human
|
|
worth, in Nietzschean terms), for it is always the outstanding individual,
|
|
not the inert mass, who has been responsible for human ascent and the march
|
|
of history. The slaves creeds of the mass have displaced the individual in
|
|
favor of the herd, thereby activating dysgenic and culturally retrogressive
|
|
trends.
|
|
|
|
Satanism is unshamedly elitist. this alone is enough to make it
|
|
heretical in the eyes of Christian, Moslem, dialectical materialist and
|
|
liberal humanist.
|
|
|
|
Satanic humanism has been best articulated by Fredrich Nietzshe,
|
|
refer especially to _Thus Spoken Zarathustra_, _The Anti-Christ_, _Twilight
|
|
of the Idols_, and _beyond Good & Evil_. His philosophy of the Higher Man
|
|
and the OverMan expresses the epitome of Satanism.
|
|
|
|
_Adversary & Accuser_
|
|
|
|
The Satanist has adopted the archetype of 'Satan' because the name
|
|
itself means 'aversary' and 'accuser'. Today we are not only the
|
|
adversaries and accusers of Judaeo-Christianity, but of all levelling
|
|
creeds which stifle human biological and cultural ascent, be they
|
|
religious, moral, political or philosophical.
|
|
|
|
The opposition implies more than a merely negative reaction ; our
|
|
stance brings us back to certain _positive_ principles. It is the slave
|
|
creeds which are anti-life and negative ; Satanism is the doctrine of
|
|
Life-affirmed.
|
|
|
|
Satanism is too often defined by Anti-Satanists, and what emerges
|
|
is that which is embraced by the juvenile and the imbalanced. The
|
|
stereotpye is quite different from the reality.
|
|
|
|
If Satanism is to be true in it's first principle of advancing the
|
|
godhood of the individual (Nietzsche's OverMan) for example, then it
|
|
should, to be consistent, repudiate any activity which dissipates the
|
|
mental and physical health of the individual, including excessive alcohol,
|
|
tobacco, and drug use.

_Dividing Goats from Sheep_
|
|
|
|
"It is easy to see the inverse pentagram as a diagramatic
|
|
representation of a goat - the points making its horns, ears and beard.
|
|
this has led to its becoming the symbol of Pan, the nature God of Greek
|
|
mythology." states an article from _Magic Pentacle_
|
|
|
|
Satanists have no problem with this defintion of the symbol, for
|
|
the goat and the Goat-God are representative of fertility and vitality,
|
|
implying an aspect of Satanism's Carnal Doctrine. However, the inverse
|
|
pentagram also symbolizes something more than primal nature-worship ; it is
|
|
that of the individual above the mass.
|
|
|
|
"And he shall separate them one from another, as a shepard divideth
|
|
his sheep from the goats. And he shall set the sheep on his right,
|
|
but the goats on his left." (1)
|
|
|
|
That's us ; the Satanist goats. We refuse to run with the flock; We
|
|
will not be herded. It is no christ that does the separating, but our own
|
|
act of Will. 'Creative alienation' is how some Satanists have described it.
|
|
|
|
_The Satanic Mission_
|
|
|
|
The mission of the Satanist is more than the hexing of his
|
|
neighbor's livestock. It is the advocating of the ascent of Man, which
|
|
necessitates being the 'adversary' and 'accuser' of the presently-dominant
|
|
systems which are dragging humanity back to the primal slime of
|
|
undifferentiated existence with their egalitarianism and collectivism.
