Contents Joining the Lilin Society The Hardships of this Path The Basic Beliefs of the Lilin Society Understanding the Illusion Escaping Reincarnation The Hardships of this Path An Dangerous Law Reaching Gnosis through the Collective Ritual to Chavajoth Cain the Immortal My Path to Spiritual Satanism
Joining the Lilin Society The neophyte looking to learn under the name of the Lilin Society has two paths they can take. The first path is that of a Sect and the second is that of the individual. Regardless of the path chosen the Grand Council must be contacted to obtain our hidden lore which is not publically released. Once you obtain this lore you will be considered initiated into the Society. Understanding of our goals is also of importance. We believe in the Azoth (Higher Spirit) and the Ego (Finite Spirit). Through our studies the neophyte will learn to kill his ego and elevate and evolve himself through gnosis (knowledge). Although a Chaos Gnostic Satanic group we do work in other dark arts to achieve gnosis such as Voodoo, Quimbanda and the Cult of La Santa Muerte to name a few. This path is not an easy one to walk for it is full of the esoteric knowledge which the neophyte must discover and understand. Evolution is not easy. Reaching the level of adept within the Society, although rewarding spiritually, may be detrimental to your ego and thus make physical existence harder to live. One must be strong to walk this path. Lucifer is strength and we must personify this trait if we wish to reach success. We are a blood sacrifice group which believes that the prana in blood helps us to reach success in our rituals and gnosis. Vampirism is practiced for it is believed within the society to drink the prana leads to enlightenment, to devour the life of that you sacrificed in the name of the great art. Our goal to achieve wisdom is to traverse past sentinel life and toward the acausal. We wish to strengthen the bond with the currents of the acausal and raise the Chavajoth to destroy cosmic order and sefirotic bondage. To achieve this state we must first end our ego’s stasis and awaken our Azoth. The boundaries of comfort will be tested and pushed. Many are uncomfortable holding the knife that ends a life but in the end the life you end is your own ego’s finite existence. Each cup of prana drank, the blood spilled and the hours spend in spiritual segregation pay off. A warning to those with an interest in the occult but no true follow through with it, stay away from the Lilin Society. Dead weight is not tolerated. We are evil and follow the path of evil in that evil is the opposition of good. What is good and what is evil? It is subjective morality which we do not believe in, however, if the demiurge cults say it is good to blindly follow, submit, remain ignorant and spend your life in sefirotic chains, then we oppose this and thus are evil. Understand, however, there is lawlessness in the origin and that is where we wish to return, thus we are lawless spirits who strive to reach the pinnacle of enlightenment and evolution. We believe in endogenic and exogenic sorcery to help our evolution and gnosis. Without the balance of both the neophyte will fail to ever progress past a wondering exhibitionist. We warn you, do not use our Society or symbols to proclaim something you are not. You walk this path or you
don’t. We believe in brotherhood. You are either with us or you are against us and we will always support our kin. This means to support our esoteric secrets. To divulge our information to the public is to be an enemy, and our enemies will be made known. We do not seek members, members seek us. They wish to learn in our schools and understand our rituals and practices. If you wish to work within our society seek out the Grand Council.
The Hardships of this Path The infernal path toward enlightenment is hardly a leisure stroll. The road is full of depression and an extreme sense of alienation. I often find myself detached from the rest of humanity the more I see past the illusion. Everything seems futile. Understanding is what will help you get through this. Depression is a symptom of spiritual evolution. It is the spirit’s eye seeing past the ego and understands that life is an unfulfilling void of distractions until death. This is why Satanists will more often that most harbor suicidal tendencies or idealization; as our understanding grows so does our desire to leave this world. The main problem with suicide is that the Satanist is not ready to die. He has not fully shed his ego and has not reached the proper state of gnosis. He has too many anchors in this world, and these anchors will drag the Satanist back through the vicious cycle of rebirth with a new ego to start over again. If takes more than one lifetime to fully reach the pinnacle of gnosis and break the cycle of rebirth, thus returning to chaos. I have grown envious of the incarcerated at times. They have been put in the perfect situation to kill their ego, in seclusion from the distractions of this world. The problem is that many misspend their time with the demiurge cults and mindless criminal activity. Segregation is a path towards enlightenment and thus we get to my suggestion. I feel that once a week, or once every two weeks, the Satanist should segregate himself from the world. No stimulation, no music, no television, no reading; nothing but his thoughts and mind. During this time the Satanist should fast to weaken the body and strengthen the mind. Learn to ignore your body, learn to ignore your ego. This will seem futile at first perhaps and the physical world will claw at your brain and try to pull you back in but don’t let it. This is a necessary abstinent which in time will help you reach gnosis. Truth be told, rituals exist mainly to satisfy mankind’s need for them, but what good are all the rituals when your ego still dominates? The main problem I have with the modern Satanist is that he is too egotistical and hypocritical. He is self-absorbed in attaching himself to a community he wishes to relate to. On the outside he is rebellious and dominant but inside he strives for attention. He proclaims his devotion to chaos and Satan and then fills his spiritual matters with physical idols and symbols which he seems to worship more than the actual representation of them. If this is you, and you accept this as being true, than you are finally on the right path. Work within the realm of segregation and get to know your real spirit. You already know your ego. This path is not an easy one to walk. Enlightenment and evolution comes with hard work but the end payoff is well worth all the sacrifice. You shed blood in your rituals, you chant and you pray. You follow all the orders and steps but what good is it if you don’t understand yourself; and by that I
mean your true self not you ego.
The Basic Beliefs of the Lilin Society With so many definitions and a diverse world of beliefs, this word has become saturated. Anton LaVey exploited it with his mindless hedonistic cult void of a spiritualism while the Temple of Set, although acknowledged a spiritual Satan, aimed at making Satan a family friendly entity. The Lilin Society takes a Gnostic approach. We do not view Satan as a fallen angel, and reject the Christian concept of Satan. Before I divulge who Satan is let me explain the belief of Chaos Gnosticism. Outside our cosmos exists an infinite stretch of lawlessness and Chaos. We call this acausal world Ur-Chaos and it interpenetrates all. Here everything is conceivable and it is the womb of the Dragon we call Tiamat. It is the zero dimension which surrounds the essence of the Unknown God. Like was said, all is possible in Chaos, even the formation of Order. The Demiurge (Yahweh) is a lesser god who formed the Cosmic Order. The Demiurgic Light came down and formed the Tzimtzum, a concept of contraction and condensation which forced the Demiurgic Light down into the Void. The Tzimtzum was the cause of time, space and causality and when the Ain Sof came down it formed the ten emanations of the Demiurge until Malkuth (physical existence). When this happened the Ain Sof had a second, adverse emanation the formed. This is because of the new found law of cause and effect. Where the finite and cosmic exists, so shall the infinite and anti-cosmic. This adverse to the Sephiroth is called the Qliphoth. Two trees formed; the Tree of Life (Sepfriotic Bondadge) and the Tree of Dead (Qliphotic Liberation). This is also known as Dayside and Nightside. The Nightside we call Sitra Achra had become the antithesis of Cosmic Order. The purpose of this Sitra Achra is to seep and intrude into Dayside to help in the return of the divine sparks (Azoth) which have been trapped in Clayform (human form), back to the limitless chaos. It is important to know that Sitra Achra was not the left overs of creation, but a formation made according to the newfound laws of the Cosmic. The goal of the “demons” of Sitra Achra are to free the Azoth from their Cosmic prison. Lucifer or Satan is a part of the Chavajoth, who is the bringer of Black Light (Atazhoth). The Demiurge has blinded mankind with his Demiurgic Light and Satan will bring the truth to help us see again. Those who seek the unmanifested will be illuminated by Black Light. Those void of the essence of Sitra Achra will not understand it. Lucifer, the bringer of light, will bring the Black Light but it will always be darkness in the eyes of the blind. Lucifer’s light is Gnosis (knowledge) that is the gate to Sitra Achra. In Sitra Achra are the paths to Ur-Chaos, beyond the Crown of Satan. What is Satan’s goals? He is here to destroy the cosmic order, the emanations and the Demiurge and to return all to Chaos, including himself whereas
the Demiurge seeks to separate. Satan is the liberator who wishes to unite all back to Ur-Chaos. I ask then, who is the real enemy here; Satan or the Great Cosmic Warden? Before Satan are three dark veils. These emanated from Cosmic Chaos before the formation of the Tree of Death. These Veils are Tohu, Bohu and Chasek. These veils are what made way the Black Light from the outer darkness and into Sitra Achra. At the throne sits Satan and Moloch. Satan looks up to Chaos while Moloch looks down at the Tree of Death. When Ascending the Tree of Death the final phase of Adeptship comes from passing through the Flames of Moloch. Only after this will the Adept confront Satan. It is important to know at this point that Satan is not the Unknown God, but he is our way to the Unknown God and thus he is our master. It must be understood that the ancient gods are nameless. The names we give to their essence are just that, names, but they are names that fit them as we get to know them. Other names for Satan include Apep, Angra Mainyu, Ahriman, Set, Samael and many more. He is the adversary to the Demiurge. The Chavajoth are the eleven anti-cosmic gods which will destroy cosmic order. Chavajoth is the name of the Demiurge in reverse (HVHI) and their names are Beelzebuth, Lucifuge Rofocale, Astaroth, Asmodeus, Belfegor, Baal, Adramelech, Lilith, Naamah, Moloch and Satan. The Chavajoth is described as a sleeping dragon and is the cumulative forces of Sitra Achra/Nightside. Now we must understand the acasual universe. A living being is able to change, grow and move without any external forces being applied. The force is internal unlike that of ordinary physical matter in the universe like stars, rocks, galaxies or chemical interacting with chemical. This leads us to believe there is a force within us that is not of this cosmos. This is the Azoth and the acausal spirit must descend from an acausal realm. This is interesting for it points us to acknowledge the fact that every human being is a nexion (gateway) to the acausal realm which cannot be explained in current mathematical equations. It is indescribable by three dimensions and one linear time dimension. In short, this is Chaos. This also explains our ability to use sorcery and other methods unnatural or “supernatural” in this cosmic order. We are a nexion, and thus we have the ability to pull forth from the acausal world and manipulate that around us in the physical.
Understanding the Illusion In the occult community we have heard the phrase a lot. Life is an illusion. In Chao-Gnosticism it is believed the Demiurge has cast a veil over the sparks to trick them as to what reality is. But seldom does anyone break it down to explain it from a scientific level to help the world see how the Demiurge accomplishes this. It all starts when we are a fetus and a little organ called the pineal gland. The fetus develops the pineal gland at forty nine days after conception. Coincidently the Buddhist believes it takes forty nine days for the soul to reincarnate. What we know about the pineal gland is that it is the seat of consciousness, a nest of our soul. At first it develops in the mouth of the fetus and makes its way to the brain. So what is so special about this little cone shaped organ? It is the only un-paired part of the brain and it is present in all mammals. It is responsible for producing melatonin and most importantly dimethyltryptamine or DMT. DMT is always produced in the brain and creates a psychedelic experience (DMT can be taken recreationally) that is controlled. This means that the reality we see every day is a controlled psychedelic trip, an illusion or the veil. Now when we take psychedelic drugs in uncontrolled means we throw the pineal gland off and thus we are presented with chaotic images of what we call a psychedelic trip. LSD, mushrooms, ketamine and even marijuana give us a release from the veil, although temporary and to a lesser degree. The veil is still there but it is weakened. To understand this one must understand that cosmic order operates under the laws of science whereas chaos does not. The pineal gland produces the DMT which is a chemical reaction used to nullify and tweaks our perception; to control us. In the physical world we live the veil is only beneficial so we can operate here, to study the occult sciences and strengthen our soul to prevent reincarnation. Once
we die the veil is lifted, for our consciousness is free from the clay prison and the control of the demiurge UNLESS he re traps you and reincarnates you. Those who have devoted their lives to Satan and death will be the lucky ones who get the chance to return to origin, cosmic chaos.
Escaping Reincarnation Our spirits hails from the outer darkness, the chaos which engulfs this cosmic order. The demiurge has taken our sparks and encased them in clay as well as a ruthless system of birth, death and rebirth. He has attached to our spirit an ego which unlike our spirit it is finite and dies. Each time our ego dies we forget everything we learned in our past life. The purpose of this is so we do not achieve Gnosis, and remain trapped behind the veil, slaves to the Demiurge. In Voodoo we are also taught that we have two spirits. One is called "gros bon ange" or "big guardian angel", and the other is "ti bon ange" or "little guardian angel". The little guardian angel is our ego whereas the big guardian angel is our actual spirit. When Loa, spirits of Voodoo, possess a body it is said that the little guardian angel goes away while the Loa possess the body. This shows that the finite body is ruled by a finite ego and everything physical is part of the Demiurge’s illusion. So how do we break this trend of reincarnation? The Buddhists teach that the reason that we are reincarnated is because of our desire and craving for the material world. Freeing oneself from desire will break the cycle. As Chaos Gnostics we should accept that there is truth to this. If we are to achieve gnosis and understanding we will strengthen our spirit and thus free the shackles of this physical world. When we die we must learn how to die. We must detach our spirit from this world. When nearing death we must learn to understand suffering and death. We must embrace it. We must live simplistically and abandon desires of this planet. We must kill our ego and envision returning to chaos. Train your spirit to leave this world. Teach it that this is all an illusion and none of it is real. Only the infinite is real and the entire cosmic order is built on a finite illusion. Meditate and envision death. Psychedelic drugs will kill the ego and help your spirit see past the illusion whereas other drugs enslave you and hold you to this world. Cocaine, Heroin, alcohol and meth are examples of drugs which keep you in this world and satisfy the ego, not the spirit. Drugs like marijuana, psilocybin, DMT and LSD help open your mind and allow you to see past your ego. Your spirit can benefit from these. Your car, your television, your house, your clothes, your music; everything from this world holds back your spirit. Our bodies, physical and emotional sensations, conceptualizations, ideas and beliefs work together to create the illusion and enslave us. This is not to say that you need to live your life a miserable person, enjoy what you can but as you near death learn to let go and embrace death. This is how you break the cycle of rebirth. During meditation envision your spirit free of the ego. Picture it’s beauty, for the infinite is truly beautiful for it is everlasting. Picture it returning through the spiral and beyond this cosmos. Envision returning to the infinite chaos. Do this every day and you train your spirit to take over and tap into the collective consciousness and truly achieve enlightenment and gnosis.
Finally, one must understand that this cosmic order operates on the laws of cause and effect. One reaction creates another. If you kill the ego then the spirit will be free. We are bound to the laws of this cosmic order and thus we can use it to escape. The cause is to kill the ego and the effect is to never return to this cosmic prison again.
The Hardships of this Path The infernal path toward enlightenment is hardly a leisure stroll. The road is full of depression and an extreme sense of alienation. I often find myself detached from the rest of humanity the more I see past the illusion. Everything seems futile. Understanding is what will help you get through this.

You follow all the orders and steps but what good is it if you don’t understand yourself; and by that I
mean your true self not you ego.
An Dangerous Law It is almost universally hailed as ‘the’ satanic law. Do what thou wilt. Satanists proclaim it on a nearly daily basis and live by it. The problem is that this law can be more damaging then it can be helpful. As Chaos Gnostic Satanists we do not believe in the Holy Bible, thus the commandments are rubbish. When Satanists adopted this law as theirs it was in an attempt to be the adversary of the Holy, to be the opposite of the Christian. Thus thou shalt not became thou shall. Although an amusing concept this hedonistic approach is predominantly preached by the LaVeyan Satanist and the unenlightened and ignorant Satanist. I place the blame of this law on adolescence. Early rebellious behavior to lash out and although I admire the dissidence I have found that this law is more damaging than helpful. Morally speaking there is nothing wrong with it for morals are subjective and thus are not law. Spiritually is where the problem lies. To hedonistically indulge without limit satisfies the ego and actually creates more anchors to hold your Azoth (spirit) to this physical existence and condemn you to repeat the cycle of rebirth. Now to even call this a Satanic law is pure ignorance. The origin of this law was founded by Aleister Crowley when he created his revolting Demiurgic religion, Thelema. This is a law of the Demiurge that is made to strengthen the ego and cause the ego to remain unenlightened. Many subscribed to the law due to Aleister Crowley’s persona but although he has made some discoveries in the field of magic that have shaped occultism today, he is a prophet of the Demiurge and thus this law simply feeds the white light that blinds the ego. I have stated before that one should practice on occasion the act of segregation and abstaining. This will weaken the ego and strengthen its bond with the Azoth. This does not mean we cannot enjoy what little good this existence has to offer, we can indulge, but be careful for anchors are heavy and can get in the way of reaching gnosis.
Reaching Gnosis through the Collective When we reach past our ego we reach Gnosis, but what is this Gnosis. It is the information which the Demiurge has struggled to prevent us from knowing; the forbidden fruit. When we get past our ego, that created by the demiurge, we reach collective consciousness. Collective consciousness has its roots in chaos. It is what links us all to our origin. If we can tap into this we can acquire a great deal of knowledge. Before we go further into this let’s discuss the scientific side of collective consciousness. Let’s start simple. Have you ever thought that someone was about to call you on the phone and at that moment they did. How did you know this would happen? The thought that we are connected in our consciousness has become more evident with science. Take the following example. During the 1950s, macaques on the island of Koshima learned to wash sweet potatoes and explicitly passed this skill onto younger members of the group. This behavior then spread and was observed on neighboring islands among groups of macaques who had never seemingly come into contact with each other. It was in the 1970’s that scientists began to suggest that collective consciousness could be passed and spread through telepathic and supernatural means. Students in an experiment were shown an image of two curtains on a computer screen and they were told that one of the curtains contained a concealed erotic picture. The students chose the curtain hiding the picture ‘more often than could be explained away by chance’. It is important to know that the position of the picture was randomly assigned by a computer that didn't make its decision until after the volunteer chose one curtain or the other. To believers in the paranormal, this suggested the students were actually influencing future events and the odds against the combined result being down to mere chance or being a statistical fluke were quoted as 74 billion to one. Those who study the occult have an easier time wrapping their mind around the concept of divination expressed by the students. Let us back track a little bit and rehash some basic principle of Chaos Gnosticism. We have been trapped here in this cosmic order by the demiurge. We are enslaved to a cycle of reincarnation in which each time our ego dies. When we are reincarnated we get a new ego, however, our consciousness is eternal. We must get past this ego to reach deep into our consciousness, reach into the collective consciousness to understand and acquire gnosis. How is this done? I have been studying this and I have broken it down into the following; use of energy all around us (magic), use of blood sacrifice (vemana), telepathy, divination, sensory deprivation, psychedelic drug consumption and meditation. Now modern science will disagree with some things such as blood rituals, but understand that science understands only cosmic order, not cosmic chaos
and is rather ignorant to most things spiritual. I am not saying science is without merit, but I am saying it is ignorant to the unknown world. Magic is based on energy and the exchange and physical representation of it. Blood contains the life-force or prana of a living entity and thus the spilling of blood and drinking of blood is to harvest this energy in magical purpose. Telepathy is the use of the mind and energy to project thought from one mind to another OR through the collective consciousness. Divination is seeing the future events by understanding the concept of cause and effect in this cosmic order and correlating them. Sensory deprivation cuts off senses so the mind can focus as it does with meditation. Psychedelic drug use is a total destruction of the ego and a path into our deep mind, a ladder into the collective. Understand that nothing is given to us and we must work toward it. As we strive toward evolution the path gets easier. Do not become a slave to your ego like so many have, kill your ego and understand.
Ritual to Chavajoth -Black Candles -Eleven Angle Sigil cloth -Sacrifice -Goblet -Eleven Glasses
Lay the sigil down on the ground. Each angle will have a candle and a glass. Place the goblet in the center of the sigil. Stand outside and recite. “In the name of Ur-Chaos, in the name of the nameless god who rules Ur-Chaos, in the names of Satan and Moloch, in the names of Beelzebuth, Lucifuge Rofocale, Astaroth, Asmodeus, Belphegore, Baal, Adramelech, Lilith and Naamah. I use this sigil as a doorway into nightside, into the Qliphoth. In the name of the Adversary to the dreaded demiurge I ask that you open this doorway.” Step into the center of the sigil with the sacrifice. “I offer a gift of blood to Chavajoth, the anti-cosmic wrathful gods of nightside. I offer blood in exchange for Gnosis, to kill my ego and let me lift the veil. Accept my gift Wrathful Gods.” Kill the sacrifice and fill the goblet with blood. Pour blood in each glass leaving some left over. “Enjoy the banquet of blood as shall I drink with you.” Drink the blood. “Anti-Cosmic forces, Chavajoth, kill my ego and allow me to see what the demiurge denies me. Let me dig deep into my spirit and become enlightened. Let the spirits of nightside flow in my clayform. Help me see past the illusionary light. Lift the veil in the name of Ur-Chaos, Lord Satan, the Chavajoth, the namesless god of Ur-Chaos for my spirit is devoted. Hail Satan.” Now meditate and envision enlightenment coming from within. During this chant the names of the Chavajoth. When the ritual is complete extinguish the flames of the candles with the sacrificial blood. Wrap the candles and the sacrifice in the sigil cloth. Bury it all and sit upon the burial while meditating and chanting. When it is complete walk away without looking back.
Cain the Immortal It is commonly believed that Cain is the son of Adam and Eve. This is the lie which has been bestowed by the revolting Demiurge to confuse and keep man from Gnosis. The serpent in the Garden of Eden was Lucifer. He impregnated Eve with his breath and she gave birth to her first son, Cain. Cain, unlike Abel, was born of Spirit whereas Able was born of man. With this knowledge we see that Cain, son of Lucifer, hated the cosmic architect. He even insulted the Demiurge by offering vegetables and seeds as sacrifice. The reason for this is that he felt there was no need to sacrifice to the one he hated. Cain then took Abel to a field where they talked. The question is, what did they talk about? Some Gnostics believe that Cain had told his brother “There is no law, no judge” before he killed him. Cain of spirit killed Abel of man (Demiurge’s creation). This elevated him to immortal status for he had embraced his father’s spirit and defied the Demiurge by killing his favorite. The soul is pure love, but it is love learned through lies. It is corrupted love. The Demiurge has made our soul (ego) love the lie. Our spirit (Azoth) is pure hatred, hatred for the cosmic prison. This explains Cain’s hatred of the Demiurge and his brother. It is said that the Demiurge then banished and cursed Cain, much like he did the serpent/Lucifer. This is an honor to the Gnostic. To be banished and cursed by the cosmic warden. It is said there was a mark on Cain’s head and the Demiurge said no one could harm of kill Cain. This mark is believed through Jewish lore to be a horn, the symbol of power. The reason Cain couldn’t be killed or harmed wasn’t because of the Demiurge will, but because he became immortal when he embraced the Black Light. His spirit was free. We know that both had wives and children. It is believed that some of us have the blood of Cain in our bodies and thus that is why we have the misanthropy and the draw to the Black Light. Those of Abel’s blood only are lost. It is said that mankind is divided into three categories. The first is the Hyletic or the Pasu which is ruled by body. The second is the Psychic or Vira, which is ruled by soul. This was Abel. The third is the Pneumatic or Divya, ruled by spirit, this is Cain. We, Chao Gnostics, have felt the draw and thus we have the blood of Cain and our father Lucifer in our blood and spirit. We are strong and cannot be deceived. We will reach Gnosis and return to the Cosmic Chaos.
My Path to Spiritual Satanism The path to spiritual Satanism is different for every person. I will tell you all now my path and how I discovered Chaos Gnosticism. I was born John Richard Putignano to an Italian-German family in Brockton Massachusetts in the United States. I was born to a Catholic family and although we didn’t attend church often my family felt the need to not only baptize me but force me to get my first communion. I associated the church with forcing one to attend, such as my parents did. During Sunday school I had felt a strong detachment to the path of the Demiurge cult. To me it seemed weak, it seemed broken and although they tried to scare us with stories of Hell and Satan I felt an indescribable draw to it, even at such a young age. I felt so detached from the Catholic Church that at the age of ten I decided that there was no god. This was a rebellious nature blossoming with the Black Light and I didn’t even know it. At the age of thirteen I discovered the path of Anton LaVey. I saw something in there that was different, something liberating within the hedonistic teachings of LaVey. I declared myself a Satanist at this time. Although I was still ignorant to what real Satanism was, the Black Light was drawing me closer. At the age of fourteen I began to understand that the hedonistic cult was void of any spiritual matters, something that I craved. I at first thought this was simply my forced Catholic beliefs trying to battle my atheist rebellion but soon I began researching Aleister Crowley and the Kaballah. I read and understood and still, even after reading the stories of God and Samael, I felt a draw to Samael. For years I studied the occult not fully knowing what I believed. I became agnostic as I searched for Satan. I wanted to understand. At the age of twenty one I discovered the Temple of the Black Light and the Order of the Nine Angles. I began researching the Cosmic Chaos path and soon after I finally found my Satan. I felt liberated and knew that Satan put me on this path. Satan pushed me from the Catholic Church, he pushed me toward LaVey, pushed me toward Crowley and then from there he showed me the truth within the Temple of Black Light. LaVey is mindless hedonism and atheistism is sheer ignorance, however it was these rebellious paths which deterred me from the Catholic Church and eventually led me to the true form of Satan. The purpose of my revealing the path I took is to show everyone that Satan will push us toward him, even if it isn’t the right path at first. He will set the ground work to discover him; you just need to keep an open mind.
Now we are not a group that seeks out. People seek out the Lilin Society in search for Satan. We are here, the conduit, to aid if the person so choses this path. We are about spiritual evolution and brotherhood. We do not need numbers, but we need truly devoted followers of Atazhoth.
