* Satanism and Environmentalism* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmentalism* is a broad philosophy, ideology, and social movement regarding concerns for environmental protection and improvement of the health of the environment, particularly as the measure for this health seeks to incorporate the impact of changes to the environment on humans, animals, plants and non-living matter.* Divorce yourself from environmental philosophy in this discussion* For those who do engage politically, that's fine, this is a personal conversation though* We will only refer to environmentalism in the context of the individuals impact, as a Satanist* I have long been a proponent that the exertion of the Satanists will does not have to end at one's interpersonal relationships or home* Herr Doktor’s Pentagonal Revisionism: A Five-Point Programhttps://www.churchofsatan.com/pentagonal-revisionism/* Stratification - ...no more myth of “equality” for all...No one should be protected from the effects of his own stupidity.* anyone to live within a total environment of his or her choice - Privately owned, operated and controlled environments* This speaks to the Satanists need to reach beyond themselves in order to make these changes a reality, it will not happen on its own, and environmentalism is the key to make these things happen* The downside is that as we can divorce the socio-political SJW style messaging, not many others can. So optics will be an issue with anyone who supports environmentalism* It includes but is not limited to concepts such as a land ethic, environmental ethics, biodiversity, ecology, and the biophilia hypothesis figure predominantly.* I would argue that all of these concepts support Satanic drives for our future.* Having sustainable access to water globally reduces military conflict and migration. If you think of the environment and our engagement with it in the terms of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, physiological needs are the foundation. Food, water, etc. That is the essential result of environmentalism* We cannot have impacts over our own lives until we can sustain our lives* The fundamental core of the individual Satanists understanding is that we are carnal animals, like other animals on this planet. * Self care is an indirect relation to environmental care* It’s not about sacrificing yourself for the planet, it's about finding a way for you to thrive in the environment* The world will be here even if we aren't, but if we want to exist, we have to behave in ways that allow us to continue existing* In general terms, environmentalists advocate the sustainable management of resources, and the protection (and restoration, when necessary) of the natural environment through changes in public policy and individual behavior.

* Michigan House speaker floats possibility of 'constitutional crisis'* https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2020/11/22/michigan-house-speaker-floats-possibility-constitutional-crisis/6381960002/* The Board of State Canvassers meets Monday to consider certifying Michigan's statewide election results, including President-elect Joe Biden's 154,000-vote victory. But top Republican Party leaders have asked the board to delay certification in a bid to investigate "anomalies and irregularities" they claim occurred in the election.* The board features two Republicans and two Democrats. Many legal experts believe the panel has a duty, under Michigan law, to certify the results.* "If there were to be a 2-2 split on the State Board of Canvassers, it would then go to the Michigan Supreme Court to determine what their response would be, what their order would be," Chatfield, R-Levering said on "Fox & Friends" Sunday. "If they didn't have an order that it be certified, well now we have a constitutional crisis in the state of Michigan. It's never occurred before."* "The Board of State Canvassers participates in a very straightforward and perfunctory process," John Pirich, a longtime elections attorney in Michigan, said in the groups' press release. "Auditing the election is not within its scope of duties; the board is only responsible for reviewing the vote calculations and signing them.* "This process has nothing to do with discretion or the board members' political leanings."* If the board certifies the results, under state law, Michigan's 16 electoral votes will go Biden, who won the state by 14 times the margin Trump won by four years ago. The Electoral College meets on Dec. 14.* Many legal experts believe if the board doesn't certify the results, the courts will order the results be certified.* On Saturday, Michigan Republican Party Chairwoman Laura Cox and Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel asked the state to conduct a "full, transparent audit" before certification, noting other states like Georgia "have taken discretionary steps" in determining their results.* But Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Michigan's top elections official, has said an audit cannot be completed prior to the certification of results because "election officials do not have legal access to the documents needed to complete audits until the certification."* Still, Cox and McDaniel have argued it's possible to investigate some claims made in the affidavits and unbalanced poll books in Wayne County while still complying with the Dec. 8 deadline for certification. The states are required to certify by the "safe harbor" date or invite court or congressional intervention.* Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, tweeted Sunday that the election process "MUST be free of intimidation and threats."* "Whether the Board of Canvassers certifies our results tomorrow or decides...

* Egypt uncovers more than 100 sarcophagi in ancient burial ground* https://abcnews.go.com/International/egypt-uncovers-100-sarcophagi-ancient-burial-ground/story?id=74206593* Egypt unearthed more than 100 sarcophagi in Saqqara on Saturday, the same ancient burial ground where dozens of coffins were also found last month as the country continues to make major discoveries in its bid to lure back tourists.* The coffins were exhumed from three burial shafts that are 12 meters deep, the head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities Mostafa El-Waziri said, adding to the 59 sarcophagi discovered last month in the same area, which served as the necropolis for the ancient capital of Memphis, a UNESCO world heritage site.* "It's the biggest discovery of 2020, but we are not stopping here yet. The discovery of one burial shaft leads to another," antiquities minister Khaled El-Anany told reporters.* "Saqqara hasn't yet revealed one percent of its secrets. We can find tombs and burial shafts in every single spot in this area."* Some of the newly-uncovered coffins, which were colored and sealed, were displayed in a makeshift tent overlooking the Step pyramid of Djoser in the vast necropolis. The gilded and wooden sarcophagi included mummies of priests and high-ranking officials belonging to the late and Ptolemaic periods, dating back more than 2,500 years ago.* El-Waziri said Egyptian missions were also stepping up their efforts to locate the workshop where the coffins were made. He attributed the discrepancy in the sarcophagi's colors and shapes to the financial muscle of their owners, with some able to pay for gilded coffins while others only capable of paying for wooden ones.* Funerary masks and 40 wooden statues of Saqqara goddess Ptah Soker were also found in the burial shafts.* Egyptian archeologists performed a CT scan on one of the mummies during the announcement, saying the deceased had died in his 40s and that he didn't suffer any chronic diseases.* Saqqara is home to 13 pyramids, including Djoser, which is deemed the oldest stone structure of its size in the world. A string of discoveries have been made there in the past few years, including the unearthing of a 4,400-year-old tomb of royal priest Wahtye in 2018 and the discovery of hundreds of mummified animals and statues a year later.* Egypt hopes its major discoveries will help revive its vital tourism industry, which took a fresh blow because of the COVID-19 pandemic just when it had begun to recover from the aftermath of uprisings and civil unrest in 2011 and 2013.

* Satanism Isn’t Political, Satanists Can Be.* The Church of Satan clearly outlines its own political policy:* https://www.churchofsatan.com/policy-on-politics/* In it Magis Gilmore clearly states:* Individuals are free to “support political candidates and movements whose goals reflect their own practical needs and desires.”* The closest political message Satanism has would be Anton LaVey’s Pentagonal Revisionism. Where he outlines a Five-Point Program that “is necessary for Satanic change to take place.”* https://www.churchofsatan.com/pentagonal-revisionism/* Stratification, Strict taxation of all churches, No tolerance for religious beliefs secularized and incorporated into law and order issues, Development and production of artificial human companions, and The opportunity for anyone to live within a total environment of his or her choice, with mandatory adherence to the aesthetic and behavioral standards of same* But as Magistra Barton clarifies:* https://www.churchofsatan.com/five-point-plan-revisited/* “... every Satanist is free to support through action any or none of the points of Pentagonal Revisionism. We do not collectively lobby for our ideals, we work in the background, effecting change when and where we can,”* When I share my political ideas, I am not doing so to form herd conformity and action, but rather to inspire individual thinking and action.* I want Satanists to consider the reality behind their political leanings and choices, not to simply adopt a ‘party’ and follow lock step inline with it.* I will always err on the side of individual liberty. Liberty to be who you truly are, to fuck who you want to fuck, and say whatever the fuck you want to whomever you want.* Those of us in the US are privileged to have so many protections, and granted so many man made rights. We should exercise them, or they will be taken away. If not from our government than from each other.* Do not let that happen. This is not a Left or Right idea, this is a universal Satanic idea.* There are groups out there which claim to be Satanic that also demand herd conformity and action. Satanism as a religion does not!* I certainly do not either. But I will call a spade a spade. If that hurts your feelings as a Satanist or political activist, tough shit. Turn the proverbial channel. I am not doing this for YOU, I am doing this for ME.

It's an ode to the afterlife and a reminder that death is nothing to be afraid of.* Artisans make colorful sugar skulls* Skulls were a powerful symbol in the Aztec culture, and some were used as tribute to Mictecacihuatl, the goddess of death. To celebrate the holiday, artisans spend hours turning sugar, hot water and lime into a sugar paste similar to caramel that they mold into skull-shaped treats of all sizes.* These treats are then decorated with icing, multi-colored foil and sometimes feathers. Calaveritas are for the most part edible, but people mainly use them to decorate their altars.* People carefully build altars for the dead* The colorful multi-level memorials are built in homes, schools and public places as a tribute to deceased loved ones. The different levels represent the underworld, Earth and heaven.* A large photo of the deceased is usually placed at the very top of the altar with papel picado. Sugar skulls, candles, pan de muerto (dead man's bread) and Mexican marigolds are featured throughout the altar.* The pungent scent and bright color of fresh marigold petals are meant to guide the spirits to their altars, and glasses of water are handy to quench the thirst of the dead after their long journey.* The ofrendas (offerings), as the altars are called, are carefully assembled using many traditional elements, but each of them is unique on its own. They can be personalized with the dead person's favorite food, mementos from their lives and their favorite items. Some altars have books, jewelry, music and clothes on display.* Crowds descend on cemeteries* People flock to cemeteries through the holiday to visit the graves of dead relatives and f...

* I Summon The Devil* Asmodeus, Satan, Kali, Lucifer, Balial, Lilith and Leviathan are real, and I receive gifts from them in the ritual chamber* There seems to be some confusion over Greater Magic, even to this day, and the true magic is how each Satanist that chooses to practice Greater Magic interprets it differently.* When I am in the chamber, I am literally opening the gates of hell. Calling out to my infernal brothers and sisters to join me in the chamber.* To me it is very much like when the cenobites are summoned in Hellraiser. I call them, they come.* Though they are not at my back and call.* I know them to have an existence separate from my desires. When and IF they decide to assist me, they do. When they are unable, they do not. It’s that simple. Like a friend who may be able to help one day and not another.* I have a reciprocal relationship with them. I give them strength through my real world achievements as a Satanist, and they grant me power to manipulate the world.* Calling the Infernal Names is not a step in a ritual. It’s the reconnection of friends I made a pact with.Friends that accepted me as one of their own, just as much as I accepted them as one of my own.* I am part of a tradition that goes back to time immemorial of man connecting with ancient wisdom. * They grant me their secrets so that they can hold sway over this world through my actions. I do, hence, they do.* That is Greater Magic to me. That is what it means to be a Satanist to me. * I didn't have to sell my soul, they wanted me to stand with them at the altar, not be a sacrifice upon it.* Because of my real world actions, because of my successes, because of who I am. A man of value. A Satanist.

* The Human Experience* What does it mean to be human?https://www.bbcearth.com/blog/?article=what-does-it-mean-to-be-human* We are one species of primate that emerged from the dry savannahs of East Africa just over 100,000 years ago and began a migration that continues to today.* We weren’t the strongest animal, but we had an unusually large brain and held ourselves upright, giving us a high vantage to scan the distant horizon for enemies, and the freedom to use our hands for other purposes.* We might have continued our short life of hunting, savagery, and brutishness right through to today, but for one important development - language. Other animals could communicate, but we evolved astonishing vocal ability, able to create sounds that represented not just objects, but also concepts. We learned how to express ideas. We could speak of danger, hope, and love. We became storytellers, able to weave together common narratives about who we are and how we should live.* Twelve thousand years ago, we learned how to domesticate plants and other animals for food, and were able to settle in one place. We became a social animal, building complex communities that become kingdoms, learning to trade with each other using a concept called money.* By 2500 years ago, a small group of humans in Southern Europe and the Middle East started to ask big questions about who we were. What is the best way to live? What is a good life? What does it mean to be human? How we responded to these questions is how we built our civilisation, art, and philosophy. * Five hundred years ago, the scientific revolution began, allowing us to harness the resources of our planet to live longer and more productive lives.* When the digital revolution began only 50 years ago, the world shrank. We became a global village, our hopes and dreams converted into an infinite stream of ones and zeroes echoing throughout cyberspace. Today, we stand astride the world as a god, with both the power to destroy our own planet and to create life.* We may even be the last of our species to be fully human as bio-technology and artifical intellligence begin to rip apart the very core of who we are.* As we discover more about reality, we continue our ascent into insignificance, becoming a vanishing footnote in space and time, a speck of dust in the vastness of the universe. But to be human is to be at the centre of our own universe, to experience life in all its colours and all its potential.* Are Satanists truly different from other humans?* Why is it so important to BE different?* It is trite, but the vast majority of humans, regardless of age, ethnicity, culture and religion share the same experiences. * We want connection* We want safety* We want meaning* I have often said we can be distilled into two ideas: We create and we destroy.* I am no longer sure that is it.
