Satanism
Hermetic Satanism is a modern left-hand path occult system, which includes metaphysics, ethics, magical and initiatory practices, building culture around concept of apotheosis, also known as a self-deification.
Satanism has a non-dualistic nature, taking the world as a whole, without separating “spiritual” and “non-spiritual” matters, without introduction of a monotheistic god of any kind (creator, demiurge, either good or evil) but rather with a fractal Pantheon of dark deities (Pandaemonium).
The deities of the Pandaemonium could be understood in quite an agnostic or buddhist sense,
being seen not only theistically, but also non-theis
As in Renaissance, we take ancient hermetic doctrines and classical philosophy, dissect any monotheistic and dualistic influence, re-evaluate through the prism of modern scientific knowledge, merge with many left-hand path concepts and practices from Tantra and Advaita schools, creating a unique system of philosophy, magical and theurgical workings.
While our philosophy is non-dual, we name it satanism due to a fact that it belongs to the left-hand path with a strong focus on antinomianism and self-deification (theurgia or apotheosis).
In this regard, hermetic satanism diverges from other “hermetic” schools and traditions which inherit dualistic or “inversed monotheistic” views, including Gnostic, Kabalistic, Qlippothic and Goethic approaches. Instead, hermetic satanism sees the Nature and Universe around us (macrocosm) as non-human, dark and sinister – which all are the required qualia for transcendence on the path of dark deification of own inner microcosm, resembling hermetic interconnectedness with macrocosm.
We see
Satan not as a dualistic counterpart to a god, but as an attractor for personal
individuation and the multitude of the ever-growing personal might and expanse
(we are the legion of black holes
).
From a hermetic point of view, the things above are like the things below; in this sense Satanism becomes a Self-theism, understanding the Self as a Satan of the inner world, but again, not as a monotheistic center, but as a polyphony of the internal Pandaemonium.
