To Presence The Dark
Genuine Satanic, or Sinister, groups have three fundamental aims: (1) to preserve and hand-on the genuine esoteric tradition, the Way to Adeptship and beyond; (2) to uphold and implement the Sinister Dialectic; and (3) to presence and so make real what is dark, sinister and Satanic.
The first aim is essentially the guiding of Initiates toward wisdom, thus changing those individuals – in effect, creating a new individual. The second aim is essentially supra-personal and is a changing of societies, civilizations and Aeons, through magick and through practical action. The third aim derives from the first two aims, and is essentially genuine Satanism in action “in the world” – that is, Satanic individuals doing specific Satanic acts to bring about change and evolution in themselves, and in the societies, civilisation or Aeon they themselves exist in.
It is of fundamental importance – to evolution both individual and otherwise – that what is Dark, Sinister or Satanic is made real in a practical way, over and over again. That is, that what is dangerous, awesome, numinous, tragic, deadly, terrible, terrifying and beyond the power of ordinary mortals, laws or governments to control is made manifest. In effect, non-Initiates (and even Initiates) need constantly reminding that such things still exist; they need constantly to be brought “face-to-face”, and touched, with what is, or appears to be, inexplicable, uncontrollable, powerful and “evil”. They need reminding of their own mortality – of the unforeseen, inexplicable “powers of Fate”, of the powerful force of “Nature”.
If this means killing, wars, suffering, sacrifice, terror, disease. tragedy and disruption, then such things must be – for it is one of the duties of a Satanic Initiate to so presence the dark, and prepare the way for, or initiate, the change and evolution which always result from such things. Such things as these must be, and always will be, because the majority of people are or will remain, inert and sub-human unless changed. The majority is – and always will be until it evolves to become something else – raw material to be used, moulded, cut-away and shaped to create what must be. There is no such thing as an innocent person because everyone who exists is part of the whole, the change, the evolution, the presencing of life itself, which is beyond them, and their life only has meaning through the change, development and evolution of life. Their importance is what they can become, or what can be achieved through their death, their tragedy, their living – their importance does not lie in their individual happiness or their individual desires or whatever.
Thus it is permissible, and indeed necessary, for Satanic Initiates to exalt themselves, and thus life itself, over and above the majority, and at the expense of the majority – for such Initiates are a becoming, a movement of life toward something higher, while the majority are a stasis unless changed or provoked. In essence, Satan is the essence of life itself; He is this exaltation of life – this change, this evolution, just as the Satanic Initiate is Satan presenced in human form.
Genuine Satanism means such a presencing of the dark, and a genuine Satanic group is a group which initiates, authorises or guides its members toward individual and group acts which so presence the dark. When there is no such presencing of what is dark, terrible, awesome, magickal, deadly and tragic then there is no genuine Satanism. Thus, a genuine group will countenance and indeed demand human sacrifice, as it will countenance and indeed demand that its members do practical and magickal works to aid the Sinister Dialectic itself, bringing thus the chaos and the order of change and evolution.
