Show me the ropes

[lachance]

Greetings,

Recently, I have come to the conclusion that theistic satanism is very underground. You will see my reasoning later.

Last year I became very interested in LaVey's works, I've read the Satanic Bible on pdf and decided to buy it. After reading the book through once again, I began to disagree with some things.

Not throwing the book out (that isn't a literal meaning), I decided to look into theistic satanism, I found that my research it was unproductive and all that I could find were some mere JoS followers who are fed up with lies (I'm not being aggressive but seriously guys). I later found Diane Vera's site and looked into it.

Then somewhere else I came around a Laveyan Satanist who recalled an unnamely form of Satanism that appearantly believes in 'forces' rather than deities, at that point I wanted to look into it because I felt like an open-minded atheist.

I couldn't.

What is this form of satanism?
Would it be Pantheisim?

Also, can someone be exceedingly helpful and describe to me what Pantheistic and Polytheistic Satanism is in their own words?

Thanks in advance,

Lachance.

It problary doesn't have a name, very few theistic satanists have the same beliefs.

Regarding the JoS.. They are racist inbreds who dare to call themselves followers of Satan. Do NOT listen to them.

Lachance.There is another offshoot of the CoS, The Temple of Set. Perhaps you could look into this organization.

Also, look into Spiritual Satanism if you want to know more about the "forces" ideology..

Most forms of satanism tend to allow the worshipper to come up with their own view of what Satan is. MOST forms, that is. The JoS doesn't. But most forms will allow the practioner to come up with what Satan is to them and the philosophy of the group... the teachings and the magick... is what matters.

Spiritual satanism and luciferianism tends to go and view deities as forces...
Look through the forum here on satanism and they have a variety of sources that have already been stated. Research.
