The cold misty veil of frost
Shadow eternal call
The shapeless twisted darkness
With Aurora Borealis illuminates the northen soil
Among mighty forests
Hills and mountains mightier than
The words of gods – here lies the path
The path to the nightshadow
Through the moonblue night
The dim and dusky light
The nightshadow crawling hunger
A key to the abyss
Here – in the majestic north
Here – the woe of frost
By the bestial might of the mountains
Here – I shall walk as a sheep
To the lair of the wolf
Into infinity
Night call, shadow fall
Unexplored visions in my innermost thoughts
Beasts howls in the ecstasy of hate
The dark tempts me out this night
Summons me to the horrid hate
Such silence – such liberating silence
Here I shall rest throughout eternity
Here – in the shadow of your black wings‘ embraceThere is no singular party for Satanists, there are Satanists that align across the political spectrum. The religion itself, and the foundational organization is apolitical.This is the last time…
The last time I watch the sun rise to blind my eyes
Tonight the dark sky is my roof
And all misty fields my floor
I have found my place to be
By your side; in your arms
You’re my bride – I’ll die for you
Eosophobic wedlock – forever by your side
I won live to bid you farwell
You’re the embodied core of darkness
Pure beauty dressed in black
I feel you are a part of me
Thus I a part of you
Never again shall the light of the day
Come between us and tear us apart
You’re the heart of night
And now my heart is yours
Seductive Noctil’uca
Your eyes have never seen the sun
are we then not victims of circumstance?
Here’s my understanding of this „Old Enemy“ as the literary scholar
Neil Forsyth coined and what I consider to be the foundation of what
is called Satanism.
Satan has always existed, only under other names and guises, Satan
is a powerful and primordial archetype of man’s psyche . . . a meme,
or what some may now call a „Godform“, I think the Magus of Chaos,
Peter Carroll used that term?
This archetype is the reflection of how we perceive ourselves in
relation to what we call the „others“. Satan is a social and cultural
phenomenon as old as the mind of humanity itself. There has always
and will always, be essentially two worldviews consisting of
oppositions and they are „Us & Them“ or „Me“ and „the rest of you“ .
. . etc.
Sumerian and Akkadian tablets concur with this worldview from the
earliest known writings, the ancient Egyptian word for an Egyptian
meant „human“, which excluded all who were not Egyptian to be
relegated to ‚non-human‘, the Greek word for non-Greeks was
„barbaroi“ (barbarians). The Jewish Essenes called anyone, not an
Essene „ha satan“ (the adversary), Zoroastrianism set forth the
dualistic „good“ (what we believe in) and „evil“ (what they believe
in).
„A society does not simply discover its others, it fabricates them, by
selecting, isolating, and emphasizing as aspect of another people’s
life, and making it symbolize their difference“
– William Scott Green (Professor of the history of religion – ancient Judaism, biblical studies, and the theory of religion)
So, who/what is this Satan?
He simply is who you are not!
However, the broader question of free will is absolutely not a scientific one, because “leeway free will” can mean different things, and the concept of “could have done otherwise” can be articulated without appealing to indeterminism
Dôležitým aspektom a priam metódou filozofie je humor. Autor ho zmieňuje v častiach o nihilizme, prvýkrát dokonca už pri biblickom Kazateľovi. Napokon, nie je tretia termodynamická veta o entropii, ktorá vždy len narastá ako neusporiadanosť systému, svojskou variáciou populárnych Murphyho zákonov na spôsob – čo sa môže pokaziť, to sa aj pokazí? Márnosť si našla cestu aj do ľudovej slovesnosti, a to práve formou humorného odľahčenia, ktoré konštatuje márnosť všetkého a pritom to robí s demokratickosťou humoru (sme v tom všetci, čo už narobíme – aspoň sa teda zasmejme). „Je to marný, je to marný, je to marný,“ cituje Galuška Ladislava Smoljaka z filmu Jáchyme, hoď ho do stroje, a o niekoľko strán ďalej dospeje k podobnej humornej pointe aj Immanuel Kant vo vyústení svojich Kritík. Autor dokonca navrhuje tézu, podľa ktorej filozofia smeruje k univerzálnosti, a keďže sotva čo je také univerzálne ako humor, tieto dve disciplíny zákonite patria k sebe. Preto sa múdrosť židovstva zachováva v anekdotách, poznanie budhizmu v kóanoch, a ľudová múdrosť vo vtipoch; o hlbokom súvise medzi budhistickými kóanmi a slovenskou letorou pojednal napríklad už Vladimír Godár (Orient – Occident, in: Kacírske Quodlibety, Bratislava 1998). Ak by nás preto mala ťažiť absolútnosť významu (fanatici viery), alebo márnosti (fanatici nihilizmu), práve humor, umenie alebo filozofia ponúkajú odľahčenie.
