    Default RE: Reversed Cross

    As one to come late in this thread, I've wanted to say this since I learned anything about satanism. Satanists that I know think the inverted cross is the coolest **** ever. They think, in a nutshell, that any Christian symbol inverted is a sigle of Lucifer.

    I hope you can tell, that even now I am shaking my head.

    As above, Gazeeboth mentioned that an inverted cross is an inverted cross is an inverted cross. Good call. Teen Satanists are either too stupid to pursue the true way, or too self absorbed to accept any other ideal other than their own. There isn't any opportunity to learn. Scratch that, there is little opportunity to learn.

    As a chink in my own personal philosophy, A flower losses a few petals, but growth is still to be had. When you limit yourself to one climate, you as a flower can't explore other places. Your seed can't spread to any other land. Limiting yourself to one belief system can neuter your ability to grow. If I thought there was only one name for God, I would limit my spell list to 0. I'm disappointed with many Satanists that don't want to learn at all. Its a shame. Ironic that selfishness is a key belief in Satanism, and that selfish cell of knowledge is kept tight and shut, as well with many who do not practice the occult. They refuse to even consider what could be out there...

    Sorry for the rant...
    Mantra yeahhhh. Eggshells you smell.

    Default RE: Reversed Cross

    Its all taken out of context.

    More often than not people just lump everyone all together and proclaim "EVIL"!

    Its like expecting black people to still use "colored water fountains". Some 14 year old "Satanist" hates his parents and suburban lifestyle, so he turns a cross upside down and invites his friends over for some awesome Satan time! **** SCHOOL! WOOO! I HATE MY PARENTS! SO REPRESSED!

    Then as Levi said, they listen to slayer and think they're the coolest **** ever. Self importance is taken waaay to out of context in this situation. I'm not even Satanist and I get pissed off about it. In retrospect its the same amount and same type of pissed off that I issue to the Christians who preach that Jesus will save them so long as they constantly jerk him off and yell at their kids about how everything is a sin. Also implied towards Wiccans who go outside, dress in a robe and scream at trees. Literally just hum and yell at trees. I have seen it done...

    As a teen I know this doesn't sound like I know my ****, but I know enough to realize that teen angst goes much further than actual magick. I know of only one occultist/pagan in my age bracket that can actually hold a conversation about the occult without sounding like a total D bag or naive little Fluff Bunnie.

    This aspect of teen social angst can be funnled into any sort of anti social or counter culture behavior. The occult is just one example. Music, clothing, lifestyle, slang, all of these are examples of oppressed youth rebelling against a higher power. It only makes sense to Teens, that if there is an entity that encourages them to be selfish, want, break and pillage every moral and norm out there (I'm reffering to missinformed satanists, who think they know everything ext) they should follow it.

    I had an inkling of this in Jr High, but I quickly grew out of it. The Goth subculture at my school (Biggest in the state) preaches that they know whats what about magic, and if someone who doesn't wear black and listens to folk music has anything to say about it, they are wrong and should be shunned from the magick community as a whole.

    Subcultures and difference/diversity is not a bad thing. It encourages imagination and growth. Its when susceptible youth take an idea into their head, misunderstand it, pervert it, and practice said idea do things go wrong.

    As Occultists, Pagans, Magicians and &c, we should try not to preach, but to aid those who are ignorant. I myself have lent books, manuscripts, and given theorys to many if not all of those who "practice magic". The same people who go to hot topic and buy the magic love potions, need to be embraced and taught. If they chose not to accept it, then thats their choice and their loss. The attempt is all we need to do. The choice wasn't thrust upon us, and we shouldn't thrust it upon the ignorant. We should instead give as many options as possible.

    Sorry for the rant but this needed to get off my chest due to a year of misunderstanding angst and frustration amongst my fellows. Thanks guys.
