Musings of a Satanic Witch



The Seven Tenets

 

Here are some of my thoughts and feelings regarding the 7 tenets of The Satanic Temple written in a somewhat poetic manner.
 

Tenet the First


How would it be if I were you? 
 
Would I say what you say and do what you do?
 
Could I walk in your shoes and know how you feel? 
 
Experience your pain and know that it’s real?
 
Would I cope with the people who’ve treated you bad? 
 
Who bullied and beat you when you were so sad?
 
Would I feel all the scars that my eyes cannot see? 
 
And know where you hurt when I’m once again me?
 
I would be there when you’re feeling alone. 
 
A sensitive ear when you need a good moan.
 
When your world is collapsing and you feel there’s no hope. 
 
I could be with you, and help you to cope.
 
The help I could give if I opened my heart, 
 
With compassion and reason. At least it’s a start!
 
 
 

Tenet the Second

 

How could it be? It doesn’t seem right. My path was so clear, be it day or by night.
 
They said it was over, my path was now blocked. The doors to my freedom, apparently locked.
 
The books that they quote and the laws that they use, Are designed not to guide but to control and abuse.
 
But my will is now strong and I know what to do,
 
When I break from the chains it will seem like a coup.
 
And I’ll finally be back on the path that is right, And the place that I’m going will then be in sight.
 
 
 

Tenet the Third

 

Hands off the goods, they’re certainly not yours! 
 
Consider my rights, just stop now and pause.
 
I consist of a body, a mind and a will. 
 
And a sense of what’s right, that no one can kill. 
 
I’ll do what I want with the flesh that is mine, 
 
It’s not up to you, or your god so divine! 
 
If I want a tattoo or more desperate things, 
 
While my heart is in mourning or triumphantly sings.
 
I’ll bloody well do it, its got nothing to do, 
 
With any but me, and certainly not you! 
 
So be on your way and bother me not! 
 
While I sit here and ponder, after smoking some pot.
 
 
 

Tenet the Fourth

 

I live in a world of suspicion and hate, 
 
And I’ve noticed one thing as I’ve pondered of late.
 
That some people around me all seem to believe, 
 
That my life style's not valid, and perhaps I should leave.
 
I seem to offend them with the way that I dress, 
 
And have opened myself for the devil to possess.
 
I know I’m offended but what can I do? 
 
It’s what they believe, it’s their strange point of view.
 
But no stranger than mine with my cards on the table, 
 
I’ll try to respect them as long as I’m able.
 
But I’ll make myself heard if I feel that it’s right. 
 
And may even blaspheme if it helps with my fight.
 
But my ultimate goal is to live my life free, 
 
From justifications of who I might be,
 
And live in a world full of people accepting, 
 
That everyone’s valid and all need respecting.
 
 
 

Tenet the Fifth 

 

 
We live in a world full of natural wonder. Not full understanding you see. If you look very closely and sceptically ponder A more rational person you’ll be.
 
Although my perceptions are different to yours, With ideas like cheese and like chalk. The belief that I’m right and you’re wrong gives me pause So the path full of science I’ll walk.
 
As humans we like to know all that we can, About our existence and what it might mean. Is there something else that is greater than Man? A thing that is yet to be seen!
 
Don’t say that you’re certain and try to apportion, Your beliefs and your woo to the known. Your mental gymnastics are just a distortion, An illusion of truth, to disown.
 
If we open our minds we can let in fresh air, And see things with truth and can cope, With this world full of wonder in which we all share, To live our lives freely in hope.
 
 
 

Tenet the Sixth 

 

 
As we live out our lives by day and by night, Our decisions are many, not all of them right.
 
The mistakes that we make should not be ignored, Pretence of perfection is always deplored.
 
And although we might think that we’ll lose too much face, It goes so much deeper, it’s not really the case.
 
For when we admit that we made a mistake, We’ll garner respect and most likely placate,
 
The people who’d judge us for being so wrong, Our friends and our family to whom we belong.
 
The harm that we’ve caused can then be undone, And the trust and the healing will then have begun.
 
 
 

Tenet the Seventh 

 

 
As I look back upon all the words that I’ve used, The thoughts and ideas of which I have mused.
 
My noble intention was to guide and inspire, A sense of the virtue that you might acquire.
 
Improving the way that you live out your time, With thoughts and with actions that approach the sublime.
 
The wise would agree that to do what is right, Comes not from the books but from natural insight.
 
So live out your days with these tenets in mind, With compassion and Justice, and a heart that is kind.
 
 
 
 
Ave Luciferi!

Magickal Musings

  Life, the Universe and Everything In order to fully understand and engage with any system of religion or magick, it is necessary to have an understanding, in your own mind, of how reality functions, for if you do not, then how can you hope to manipulate it? You might well drive a car without any knowledge of its inner workings but if it does stop functioning you really need some knowledge in order to get it to work again. So our starting point will be a discussion on how the Universe works, how it might have come into existence and where the Gods and other non physical entities fit into the scheme of things. Here we find our first stumbling block, and we having even started yet! However, this stumbling block easily crumbles when faced with the flexible mind, which I'm sure you must possess. I have studied many different belief systems and, along with discoveries from quantum physics (don't panic!), have been able to come to the very liberating conclusion that:

Gnostic Luciferianism

 Gnostic Luciferianism All of reality is One Divine Essence manifesting as particular diverse forms in a massive web of dynamic interdependency. All that manifests may be understood as patterns of energetic vibration, from common objects to spiritual beings. This Divine Essence is experienced as pure consciousness as consciousness pervades all experiential existence. There is no separation between the spiritual and the physical. This Divine unity in diversity is embodied beautifully in Levi's art depicting Baphomet and in the Hermetic maxim of "That which is above is like that which is below to achieve the wonder of the One thing." As there is no separation between material and spiritual, scientifically verifiable natural laws are Divine Laws part of the Divine Will, and science a tool for us to better know and refine spiritual knowledge and destroy illusions. The diverse forms the Divine energy manifestations includes ourselves and the beings we variously call specific d

The programmer sits at the keyboard and types, Creating the code with his bits and his bytes. The Avatar moves with a simple command, Creating its world with the move of a hand. It moves and it thinks as it lives day by day, Dreaming the dream; the American way. But it's all just a scam; a hoax of a kind, Dreamt up from the depths of a programmer's mind. The Architect sits with her keyboard within, Creating the world with Her Yang and Her Yin. With Ten Thousand Things She spreads out Her waves, The world of the Quantum; strange how it behaves! In the blink of an eye, come atoms and cells, Myriad things filled with heavens and hells. And a man working hard in the days and the nights, Creating the code with his bits and his bytes....
