Spiritual Polytheistic Satanism

dark-apheresis:

You don’t need to do any rituals or even keep a shrine to embrace Satan or other demons. To be honest, the spiritual part of your path might be more important for most people, and the magick and religion are entirely secondary aspects that are only part of your spirituality.

By religion, I mean specific tenets or paradigms. The Qliphoth, for instance, is a part of religion. As is the concept that you should follow the example of Lucifer and be an egalitarian liberator and free-thinker. By magick, I mean putting spirituality and religion into practice. This can be as simple as a prayer or as elaborate as a summoning ritual.

Spirituality, then, has more to do with feeling the ebb and flow of the energies around you. As some Neopagans might say, you find the gods in nature. Other ways to become attuned to their energies are to meditate on their sigils and enns (which I will describe tomorrow) or to study as much as you can of them. Keep in mind that Satan is the embodiment of freedom and power for all, and that He is a representation of the darkness from which all possible things spawn should you decide to go down this route.

The simplest way to open yourself up to the energies of demons is to go seek them out. Unsere, Belial, Amducious, and Verrine can be felt in nature. Satan and Lilith can both be found through nyctophilia, with Lilith being responsible for the beauty of the moon and Satan being the force behind the heat of the rays of the sun. Leviathan can be found through bodies of water, showers, baths, rain, and drinking water. Lucifer can be found through sleek modernist inventions or esoteric wisdom, Masonic or Hermetic designs, astrology, and wherever wisdom and intellect reign. Eurynomos can be found in the appreciation and respect for death and decay, learning to appreciate the fleeting nature of life and see that death and decay are extensions of change. Flereous can be found through the words and actions of the passionate, through the beauty of fire, and through warmth.

Belial, Satan, Naamah, and Lilith are all present in matters that make you feel free-spirited, or that make you rejoice. They’re there for parties, games, sex, drinking, and all other manner of merriment.

Other demons have other associations, and this is far from an exhaustive list of the associations for the few demons I have listed here. However, if you listen and embrace these aspects, if you take in the moment and are mindful of their influences in them, then you can build a spiritual relationship with the gods quite easily. Next time you hear the rain, think of Leviathan. The next time you enjoy a good book, think of Ronwe or Lucifer. As you feel safely enshrouded in the comforting darkness of the night, feel the arms of Satan Himself wrapped around you in protection from those in the light. Seek the gods and they will embrace you.
