Welcome to exploring Anton LaVey's unique approach to magic in LaVeyan Satanism, known as "materialist magic" or "atheistic witchcraft." This approach diverges from traditional magic by grounding itself in naturalism and atheism, emphasizing human psychology and actions over supernatural forces. In this episode, we'll discuss the core principles of LaVeyan magic, which includes using rituals as psychodrama to align one's conscious and subconscious toward specific goals. LaVey advocated that all "magical" phenomena can be explained by natural laws, and central to his teaching is the belief that focused intent and willpower can shape personal and environmental outcomes without any supernatural intervention. In practice, LaVeyan Satanism uses rituals involving symbolic actions that resonate with personal goals to influence the practitioner's psyche and behaviour, with the effectiveness of these rituals lying in their capacity to induce psychological change. We'll delve deeper into how LaVeyan Satanism redefines traditional magical practices, emphasizing empirical and psychological approaches to achieving personal goals.

Explore the Nine Satanic Statements from "The Satanic Bible" by Anton LaVey, a text that stands as a cornerstone of LaVeyan Satanism. We examine these statements, each presenting a bold contrast to traditional Christian values, and discuss their implications on moral and philosophical grounds. We will dissect the significance of indulgence over abstinence, the preference for vital existence rather than spiritual aspirations, and the emphasis on seeking undefiled wisdom over self-deceit. The episode will also analyse the controversial standpoints on kindness, vengeance, and responsibility, all pivoting away from conventional religious teachings. Key questions addressed in this episode include: What does LaVeyan Satanism say about human nature and the concept of sin? How does it redefine notions of kindness and justice? What commentary does it offer on human superiority and the role of Satan in Christian theology? CONNECT & SUPPORT

Anton LaVey was a weird dude. He worked as a carny, walked his leopard around the neighborhood, had a cartoonish look, and then - founded the Church of Satan… In this episode of AHC, we’ll take a look at LaVey’s life, his claims to fame, and how he started his church. We’ll also look to see if he was a complete freaking liar as well.

"...in order to keep being protected, they had to pay a Satanic toll of sacrificial blood and human souls..." A quote from today's second of two Satanic tales. Our first story is one of a young Wiccan who believes that four decades ago he followed his curiosity about the dark side of the occult straight into Hell itself. Our second story goes over some very spooky and real crime details revolving around a small group of Satanists who sacrificed at least three women to Lucifer in some haunted woods near Fall River, Massachusetts in 1979 and 1980. Hope both tales leave you Scared to Death. Happy Halloween!! Thank you for sending in your stories, Creeps and Campers! Please keep doing so.

Cheri Jamison interviews Jen Dickey, who grew up in a happy Presbyterian home until tragedy struck. Angry with God, she studied LaVeyan Satanism briefly before attending Bible college. When Jen came out as gay, her community thought she was possessed. Sadly, she felt like “God’s biggest mistake.” Jen later found a new spiritual home, transformed her relationship with God, and is now a ministry student. “I couldn’t appreciate [my life] to the degree I do without that soil, that fertilizer; and that’s MY story.” ~Jen Dickey jdmusings.com
