[from http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/2669/Satan commentary.html ] A Commentary about Satan: Anthropomorphic & Symbolic By Draconis Blackthorne I assert that when enough mental force is placed towards the conjuration, or manifestation of an archetype, it is possible to start a momentum that can effect the lives of those who subscribe to them. Such as xoids realizing their own fates. I have formulated My own particular archetypes & characteristics to symbolic deities, who, I see more as Comrades, brothers, sisters, & friends, rather than "lords", & whatnot. If one creates something in the ethers, one is responsible for it, & must resonate with it. I have seen "Satan" as MY HAND in the ethers, the manifestation of MY WILL. An extension of Myself, really. Thus molding those Dark earthly forces into a dynamically usable, & perhaps more relatable, force. No worship going on here, nope. Only RESONANCE. If anything, or anyone, is worshipped, it is Myself. Remember, as Satanists, there are no metaphysical gods {or goddesses} above us. We choose our own PHYSICAL masters & slaves, depending upon your disposition. I have, however, USED terms such as "Satan knows", "By Satan!", "Great shades of Satan!". & "By Lucifer's beard!" as humorous expressions. My creations of what I call "mythaphor", such as that read in Epinox, is just that, myth+metaphore blended in a highly imaginative amalgam. As you know, Epinox explains Evolution in a psychodramatic context. I Am not implying a literal scenario, as xians do with their blind faith. These are very fine & subtle points in Magic that should be addressed, lest there be any misunderstanding. We do the Atheist one better, as we are not afraid of using myriad archetypes to artfully & symbolically represent ideals. Needless to say, in the Ritual Chamber, Satan may very well be considered anthropomorphically. Personally, I seem to remain in a mystical mindset quite often, as extraordinary natural phenominon occurs routinely in My life. Anyhow, I Hail The Forces of Darkness, the Powers of Magic, & the Satanic ideal with a proudly upraised Cornu. Hail Victory! Hail Satan! HAIL DRACONIS!END
