Troll Towelhead, The Grand Mufti of Satanism and Creator of This Site
This is a page of media presentations which i am making or participating in for educational purposes and Satanic outreach, plus, as a bonus, some iconic images of trolls which I am using to engage the Satanist subculture online through a method of martyrdom and legitimizing (the mufti has assimilated Scandinavian folkloric qualities; my adoption of a Turkic turban gives me reason to sport the epithet as well as the fashion in solidarity with the Middle East, which is demonized currently by the Western Christian establishment).

Satanism in Theory and Practice
A. SATANISM IN THEORY
1) Subversion Ideologies;
propaganda promoted by religions
like Christianity and Islam
about the evil people among us
Jews, witches, cultists, satanists, islamists
2) Religious reaction to propaganda;
victims adopt some of the propaganda
and construct religious activities,
with a form that is variable
with an ideology that is variable
but re-embedding and ridiculing
what they were taught was a real threat
having known or discovered it was a falsity
3) Re-embedment counter-promotions
primarily the self-identifier,
witch, satanist;
but also some of the accusations,
sabbats, pacts with the Devil;
plus adoptions of fringe-traditional
elements in a new valence (such as
the Black Mass and Devil's Advocate)
B. SATANISM IN PRACTICE
Presentation
Presentation is a huge and easily-engaged element of practice in Satanism.
it extends from a type of self-promotion and self-adornment that mimics the condemnatory propaganda,
and this initiates by re-embedment of the condemnatory term (taking it on oneself and redefining it)
examples of terms originally intended as slams which were taken up as self-identifications include: 'witch,' 'pagan,' 'hag,' 'heathen,' 'heretic,' 'conjurer,' 'magician,' 'warlock,' 'sorcerer,' and 'satanist.'
similar terms which have only occasionally been used for self-description and not used by widespread groups are: idolater, infidel, and apostate.
Self-adornment easily slips from ritual drama into lifestyle ornamentation, and while the latter is criticized by both original conservative Christian and Muslim cultures from which those who use them come as well' as those who seek to promote "authentic," "serious," and deep adherence to something they promote as religion, participation in the reactionary subculture forms a perimeter around religious and spiritual behaviour (coinciding with Goth and Metal standards of clothing, jewelry, and tattoo symbolism choices; in musical taste and appreciation; and in literature by which they might be inspired or promote as descriptive of their religious identity).
From an examingation of this self-adornment and ornamentation we can identify common symbolism adopted by those using these identifiers: such as point-down pentacles, devils and demons, dragons, the number 666, inverted crosses, and art ridiculing or mocking religiouis clergy or Jesus.
While certain classical and blues music may have acquired a demonic or devilish reputation, the primary focus of Satanists in their musical taste is heavy metal, black metal, and death metal music (bands like Mayhem, Dimmu Borgir, Acheron, Behemoth, Morbid Angel, Venom, Deicide, and King Diamond (some of whom self-describe as Satanists).
Philosophy and Religion
Overlapping this choice of lifestyle, entertainment, and self-identity, it's common to find philosophic and religious testimonials, slogans, and allegiances sworn to, along with sermons about what Satanism is, from whence it derives, what defines it, who constitutes an exemplary (or definitive) member or adherent of the religion, and what opinions, ideology, demonology, theology, atheism, or cosmology should be promoted as part of an orthodox practice and participation (including heavily criticizing proselytizing).
The popularity of these philosophic and religiouus expressions result from publishing success by early Satanists (like the Church of Satan after Anton LaVey), or from promotions by later exponents who have come into prominence due to high visibility political strife with the Christian establishment advocating the separation of religion from government (like The Satanic Temple after Lucien Greaves). Their variety is therefore marked and none of them are either sacrosanct or monolithically supported by Satanists.
Where it forges from philosophy it adapts ideals and values and translates them into behavioural platforms, even out to 'sins,' and when it becomes religious it becomes a focus of repeated rite and sworn allegiance for cultic adherence and integrity (as The Satanic Bible is for the Church of Satan or as The Book of Coming Forth By Night is for the Templeo of Set).
Some common themes are the support of individual rights and privacy, an endorsement of empirical science as a source of well-founded knowledge and belief, and the preservation of the freedom to do things which others might find offensive but which are not personally violating.
Parallels or precursors:
• New Thought (Atkinson and others);
• Thelema (Crowley and others);
• Gnosticism (many sources; coverage by Pagels is good, also for Satan: "The Gnostic Gospels," "The Origin of Satan.");
• Philosophical Taoism (Western, after Alan Watts, Raymond Smullyan, and Benjamin Hoff).
