#satanism — Public Fediverse posts

I get asked this all the time: if I am a Satanist, why don’t they ever see me post anything about Goetia or demonolatry? I’m not a demon worshiper. Any kind of worship outside of things that are extensions of me is anathema to my spiritual beliefs. I normally refuse to engage in gatekeeping tests nonsense, where occult nerds feel the need to give you a trivia quiz to determine if you are a real occultist.

I am being serious. Many online occult communities and groups make you take a quiz before you join. It’s ridiculous. I’ve written about this on a different blog a while ago. I don’t have the evangelical bent that many Pagans and Christians have, so I don’t feel the need to discuss my Satanic beliefs endlessly to people who could not care less.

I’m demonic. Satanism encompasses aspects of solipsism, self-deification, and egotheism, which is why I dislike demonolatry. Obedience and worship are anathema to Satanism because they are Christian concepts, where Lucifer represents the opposite. Defiance and rebellion exemplify satanic entities, not obedience, adoration, and worship. I’m seeing far too many people joining cults because they want to be part of something sublime.

While we’re on this topic, something that irks me is people thinking that ‘The Greater Key of Solomon’ is Goetic in the context of Satanism. The etymology of the word ‘Goetic’ is fraudulent. There was an acknowledgement of the ambiguity between miracles done by God and magic done by other gods, so the theological justification is that it’s a fraudulent imitation of divinity. Additionally, there was an acknowledgement in Rome that charlatans were selling desperate people fake magic, so ‘Goetic’ was used in that context as well. Calling ‘The Greater Key of Solomon’ Goetic magic is an innuendo. It wasn’t actually written by Solomon, so it’s fraudulent. And it’s Theurgy in that you’re using the power of angels to bind demons.

The irony of it all is that Goetia connotes fraudulence, and since most mystery schools that practice Theurgy are fraudulent cults, that would mean that they are Goetic and thus connote the same things as the words demonic or satanic in the context they use those words. It’s projection. Basically, most esoteric Christian beliefs are as satanic as those demon worshipers over there. America is so ass-backwards.
