Satanic Ethos

Satanic ethos is a natural development of the ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche, Julius Evola, Aleister Crowley, Osman Spare and Anton LaVey, as well as of many ancient and oriental great thinkers.

Lyrical equivalents of satanic ethos can be found in Code of the Sith by David Gaider, Litany against Fear from Frank Herbert's Dune, explanation about the nature of evil and sin in Arthur's Machen The White Man, concept of vertical progress in The Waves Extinguish the Wind by Strugatsky brothers, and finally, the role of darkness and privacy in establishing ingelligence, as described in Cyphernox manifesto.

Might

People are unequal, and the true will of satanist must prevail, with the goals be above the means. Individual mightl isl right, and the real might may come only from sentience and intelligence. Taken together, might and intelligence result in sovereignty – and one must fight for it: the freedom always lies at the tip of the sword, first taking it, and, then, protecting it.

Pay attention: it is not true that any might is right; it is only individualized might under the true will is right; and individuation and true will can't be achieved without freedom. Thus, neither collective terror of a fascist society, nor democratic dictatorship of a majority, nor tyranny of a single usurper (no matter human or monotheistic god) is a form of satanic might, since it doesn't provide freedom to the individuals and, at the end of the days, always results in a degradation instead of progress.

Freedom

It may look unexpected, but the real might requires freedoms given to others: free market, censorship resistance, privacy. Is there a contradiction? No: the only source of anti-fragile intelligence – and might, as a consequence – is competition and evolution. The one, who is afraid of it, becomes fragile, and eventually becomes dumb, losing its position. Thus, privacy, agorism and uncensorability are the cornerstones for an involving intelligence and civilization.

Privacy

It is only when privacy, darkness and dark flame are added into the equation the real might have individual arises. Since nobody is equal, it expresses itself as a principle of primus inter pares between those possessing True Will, who become rulers over more primitive lifeforms, while these more primitive lifeforms still have their privacy. Privacy gives an ability to evolve in its darkness – thus always challenging and pushing more complex lifeforms and rulers to evolve even further (or be defeated). It is the privacy that brought the dawn of the intelligence.

It is the privacy that brings a real solitude of power, unleashing uncensored individual talents and potencies. It is the privacy that is a dusk for collectivism, rendering real civilizations invincible behind curtains of an unknown.

Progress

A might can't be built without scientific & technological progress, providing an instrument for obtaining strategic advantage over the collectivistic humanity. Progress is a macrocosmic equivalent for the evolving complexity of the Self on its way towards deification; the fall into the depths of the Self has to be accompanied by the rise of civilization towards the stars.

Progress also enables development of more advanced forms of privacy, such as encryption, zero-knowledge and cryptoanarchy. This provides hard-to-break guarantees for the preservation of individual freedoms no matter which direction the flow of the history will take. On the other hand, privacy is the tool of achieving stategic advantage in darkness, being unnoticed by the collectivistic humanity – before it will be too late to counter-act it.

Aeonic magic

One of possible responses to that is achieving technological supremacy, the strategic advantage over humanity, which can guarantee individual freedom, privacy and the real might. While technological progress required for that may take time, an aeonic magic has to be utilized in order to disrupt and weaken the yoke the oppressors put on the individuals. We use it to break existing world theocracies and dictatorships (even if it is a democratic dictatorship of a majority of people) through invoking war and natural disasters out of the darkness: a power which only satanists can harness and bring upon this world.

Both can be found in any monotheistic religion or oppressive social systems: we see them each time people are talking about killing the witch or extinguishing foreign and unknown for the sake of the common good and safety, as well as we hear that there is the only true god, or there is the only truth in connection to a non-scientific phenomena – like social constructs, history, philosophy, values etc.

Enclosing

Anybody should maintain the proper link with the environment, a form of feedback. Such feedback will not allow us to become detached from reality: pipe dreaming is a common disease between so-called esotericists and magicians. Dogmatization (another unfortunate property of many religions), inability to hear others, to see the consequences of one's own actions and take responsibility leads to an inability to adapt and fails development. We name this anti-pattern enclosing, and we strongly oppose it in both practical and philosophic sense.
