Occult.. it's true power source?I am a satanistDo you consider yourself to be LaVeyan in philosophy or actual religion out of curiosity? I never considered it a religion in my mind and used to be LaVeyan as far as philosophy goes (still am effectively) but to be frank LaVay (before he even decided to turn it into religion in an attempt to give more momentum to his effort to change the world) was not merely heavily influenced by Nietzche but concucted his 'satanism' almost entirely it seems from Nietzche's ideas (as well as, less primarily, a couple of other philosophers). That's my opinion anyway. So since the word 'satanism' is so blithely missunderstood 90% of the time - and I don't really want to have this cast upon me, glamorous though it may be seen by some - I've opted not to apply the word 'satanist' to my personal philosophy any more. It's perfectly ligit to say "I like to adhere to some of the ideas of Nietzche, some of Derrida etc. because they make sense to me." & that way you don't get so many people making assumptions like "OH you're obviously really bitter about something or other & you're really angry with the world & you surely listen to appalling death metal & you take drugs & try to be as nasty as possible & pretend not to have a super-ego [moral influence] & blah blah blah oh why don't you find piece in yourself! This facade of aggression isn't fooling anyone!" which manifest in people's minds before I even say anything more than "Hello, nice to meet you, I believe such and such what about you?" |
