Three Satanic Clichés
by Magister Joe Necchi
1. »Nietzsche.«
The name many Satanists haul out when they feel compelled to demonstrate proof of their intellectual »eliteness.« Unfortunately, the resulting drivel usually only goes to prove that they've either never read a word the man wrote, or never understood a word of the same. Those who would equate »Nietzsche« with »Nazi« are the most heinous offenders of all. Any Satanist who blithely invokes Nietzsche's name at this point in time should be treated with extreme suspicion.
2. All forms of the noun »Elite.«
Odd how all it takes to be »elite« these days is the facility to post to a Satanic newsgroup. The meaning of this word in Satanist circles lately seems to have fallen to the mundane level of »having a job« or »not being on welfare.« Oh yes, those things really separate one from the »herd,« don't they? I propose substituting the word »creative« for »elite,« as creativity and imagination are the qualities that make one a truly sovereign and worthy individual. »Eliteness« has become a mere pretentious pose for all too many Satanists.
3. »Stratification.«
A process that is always taking place and of which Mother Nature is in charge. Therefore, for Satanists to imply that they will usurp this role through the imposition of a fascist-styled »police state« (which of course will see them end up on top) is hubristical and ludicrous. If Satanists want to aid Mother Nature in her role, they should not enforce the outmoded rules of the current order, in which »stratification« is all too often a Calvinistic matter of economic predestination whereby the mediocre, dull-minded and uncreative end up at the top, but instead help create a system in which all members of society have an equal shot at developing their creativity, instead of having it crushed out of them from birth onwards. Such a system was envisioned by Aleister Crowley as a simultaneous state of »true aristocracy« and »true democracy.«
