Merry Meet To All,
What is LaVeyan Satanism?
This type of Satanism is based on the philosophy of Anton LaVey as
outlined in The Satanic Bible and other works. Philosophically, it
could be described as heavily influenced by the writings of
Aleister Crowley, Niccolò Machiavelli, Friedrich Nietzsche, Ayn
Rand, and a few others; "Satan" is appropriated as a positive
symbol of this worldview, and is not considered to exist in a
literal fashion. Theologically, each individual Satanist is viewed
as his or her own god; its rituals are essentially magick in the
original sense given by Crowley, with an eye towards furthering the
Satanist's ends.
Blessed Be,
Oceanos
