To: private email From: tyagi@houseofkaos.abyss.com (nocTifer) Subject: Satanism in Practice Date: Thu, 3 Oct 1996 04:57:30 -0400 (EDT) Orientation: House of Kaos, St. Joseph, Kali Fornika, US -- Kali Yuga 49961003 Aeon of the Adversary, Year 1; Hail Satan! [question regarding my 'actions, choice-making and life objectives, as well as relationship to the inquirer and fellow humans' which is different in being a Satanist than if I wasn't a Satanist; not intending icons or rite, especially recently] actions - used public transport to traverse 120 mi. round trip visit to SF museums on 'free wednesday', studying Indian (Buddhist, Hindu) iconography, reading about Chinese (Taoist) alchemy along the way, discussing ceremonial magick and its efficacy in daily life, talking about fabricating a shared home community of emotional-vulnerable individuals and reminiscing about old times of our experiments so far in this regard. expressed my frustration and sorrow to my lover, who was my companion for the day, about our miscues and possible dissoluton of our open relationship. wore once more my black robes in the SF fog, over my Indian whites, accented by an African ear-ring. have been composing a directory of local organizations and merchants who support the ideals of my Church: SODOMY, ABORTION, SUICIDE (or its results, few support self- termination), veganism (the alternative to which the church supports is CANNIBALISM for those who insist on eating flesh), and SATANISM (support of wild nature, both internal and external -- human and nonhuman). recently tore apart a temple room working after a 5-year composition setting into place personal yidams of dakinis in relation to myself as its central Siva-figure. this appears to have brought about the dissolution of any sort of reliable connection to the Internet (as of the Lunar eclipse, interestingly enough, all of this is happening). unsure if this is a sign. ;> I've got this temple (living/working space, featuring dedicatory altar to Kali, Satan's sakti or power as I know and understand Her) down to about half the size of the room and am attempting to minimize even further the area of my residence in a continuing ascetic trend (balanced by indulgences in other areas like sex, psychoactives in ritual or as celebratory rites on holy days, which I have defined). reviewing book edited by Isaac Asimov, #8 in his series on 'Magical Worlds of Fantasy' called _Devils_. a batch of short stories featuring Our Hero (the Dark Lord, mostly Christian-style). read aloud one story to my lover written by Robert Bloch entitled 'That Hell-Bound Train' which is highly reminiscent of Hesse's _Siddhartha_. sent email last night to my other lover, open relationship, discussing a shared occult home we've been considering and negotiating over a distance. asked her many quite direct questions concerning our differences, acknowledging that we may not be able to make this work given my desire to live in a home in which we are emotionally interactive and that I desire my lovers to be part of the same house if at all possible. gave my recent and still not-functioning ISP an ultimatim in email that if it isn't resolved to my satisfaction by week's end I want my $ back and will take my business elsewhere. I might be alot easier on these people and orgs if I wasn't wasn't a practicing Satanist (more below). choices/objectives - choosing my dedication to my goddess and Her wild nature (Satan) over my personal relationships even to the point of their dissolution (I don't see this as happening right away, but I am consistently risking this outcome by placing my priorities on choosing freedom of expression and the health (hail) of the wilderness (satan) rather than settle for what is comfortable or what may seem a short-term gain on my own part. my objectives include catalyzing a combined occult and ecological movement at least in my local area (my life if nothing more, possibly others in my general vicinity) that includes real lifestyle changes that will impact the forces of establishment eco-destruction. they also include the complete tearing away of the veil of secrecy obscuring such subjects as magick and sexuality. relationship to you/others -- I am willing to be your goad, a lorax, an adversary (satan), not only in terms of how you behave and think about the notions of things like death and spells, but also how you see the 'negative' aspects of nature, of which we all are part, and of which I contend cities are also part (though potentially cancerous at present). I will likely be extremely syncretic and eclectic in this way, perhaps even co-opting your favorite terms (like 'Satanism'!) in order to achieve my objectives. I don't intend to violate you, though I do find counter-propaganda to be effective when in the service of Gaia/Kali. my Satanism proceeds from my pact with Satan in service to Hir health and welfare. if you cannot see what my actions et al above have to do with service to wild nature (even minimally), then I'd explain as best I'm able in order to assist you in so doing. I am only self-initiated in June, but I've been preparing for this in many ways for the entirety of my life. my Satanism is a catalysis and symbol of my adversarial role to my society and the intentional manifestation of that Shadow of my culture as best as I can determine its essence. you may differ with me over the nature and accuracy of my determination, but I hope you see where I'm headed with this. a major success in my work would be participation in the resolution of the divide between nature-based religious factions through what must be difficult and honest sharing of who we are and what we wish to do with one another, finding how we can support each other's worship and general religious freedoms/rights/expressions. this is nowhere more centrally-symbolized than within this email forum. blessed beast! nocTifer mailto:tyagi@houseofkaos.abyss.com
