Satanic Magic: Lesser and Greater
Satanic Magic: Lesser and Greater
In LaVeyan Satanism, they're are two kinds of magic, lesser, and greater.
Lesser Magic
Satanic Magic is not like, other types of magic, it doesn't use anything like spells, or anything paranormal, or supernatural. Lesser magic is non-ritual, or manipulation on a day-to-day basis. According to Anton LaVey, it is knowledge of knowing how to employ the appearance of someone to your own advantage. LaVey stated that their are three subsections to use: lust, compassion, or destruction, which ever one fits your appearance.
Greater Magic
Greater Magic however, involves rituals, and is basically just forcusing ones focus and emotions on one thing for a specific perpose

Hi. I just read this and I really need to set something straight.
Lust, compassion, and destruction are the three types of GREATER magic rituals. The point of 'greater magic' is to achieve a heightened state of emotion, and at the peak of your feelings, directing it outward and 'throwing' it at your intended target.
I think what you meant about the three types of lesser magic is that there are three 'archetypes' from which lesser magic flows. Those three archetypes are 'sex', 'sentiment' and 'wonder'.

So in any case its a [generalized definition of] manipulation of one's own emotions magically and using them for an effect?

Essentially. In the case of lesser magic, it involves understanding man, the animal, and giving that animal what it wants, for a price.
RE: Satanic Magic: Lesser and Greater
What is the price for the animal? Is it immortality or is the animal the human lower Manas.?

Typical white man thoughts.
Everything blends into another, there are no dividing lines.
It's all one thing.

But the greater magic would be what the operator deems to be so.
RE: Satanic Magic: Lesser and Greater
I am not a white man, but I get your meaning. So we are a mismash of everything, how do we know when we blend? Actually the sad part is we as human make the dividing lines and I see no end to this.
RE: Satanic Magic: Lesser and Greater
Glad you got what I meant by white man.
So far there are many distinctions between greater and lesser magic.
Typically, working on spiritual efforts is Greater whilst working on material efforts is lower. Hoodoo is low, Enochian is high. Greater and Lower.
Is the top floor of a building inherently better than the basement?
Or maybe, its all a building?
RE: Satanic Magic: Lesser and Greater
Greater magic does not entail anything 'spiritual' There is no trace of spirituality or mysticism within Satanism.
Satanism is a carnal religion.
The main goal of greater magic works inward.
Catharsis.
Psychodrama.
The purging of pent up feelings that might otherwise interfere with your behavior and your thoughts, impeding your goals.
And if the intended target of a curse just so happens to die a horrible death, all the better.
RE: Satanic Magic: Lesser and Greater
Now here is the rub. If the intended target happens to be the target of a curse, and dies a horrible death, is it because they were ignorant of this curse and if they were ignorant then the curse did not make them die it was their destiny to die anyway. If they are told they are cursed do they get themselves in such a state that they actually die because they believe they will because of the curse. I have seen this happen to people who are told they have been given the evil eye etc. and when a plant dies they will, these people will take to their beds and wait to die. I do not believe in curses but I do believe bad energy can be directed at someone, then one must deflect it or send it back, which means in any practice one must protect themselves. In short the curse inflicted on another could actually come back and give the person who inflicted it a horrible death. It is called survival of the fittest.
