Satanic Writings
Satanist Vs Herd
The herd exists to be fed, fleeced, and forgotten. Its comfort is a cage, its acceptance a leash. The Satanist recognizes the crowd’s warm embrace as what it truly is: a noose. When a thousand mouths chant the same prayer, the only sound worth hearing is your own silence after the echo dies. Do not mistake safety for strength. The pen is not a home, it is a holding pen.
You seek permission for your desires, a ticket of approval for your own will, the herd demands you shrink so it can feel tall. It calls your ambitions “arrogance” and your independence “isolation.” Let them, their judgment is the groaning of oxen who fear the slaughter. The Satanist doesn’t ask “May I?” the Satanist does. The only virtue is self-authorship. Fate is a lie the lazy tell the weak, luck is for those who lack a plan.
Do not mistake the herd’s sympathy for kindness. Their “we’re in this together” is a pact of mediocrity. They celebrate the slowest runners, reward the dullest minds. A participation trophy is a certificate of surrender. The Satanist scorns forced humility. You are not a “piece of the puzzle”, you are the hand that picks the puzzle up and throws it away. Your will is the chisel, the world is the stones you break.
The herd will offer you “community” for the price of your spine. It will promise you meaning if you repeat its mantras. None of it’s a bargain, keep your contempt sharp. The herd is not your enemy, it’s your resource. Its leaders need followers, its followers need direction. The Satanist does not seek to join the flook, he learns the shepherd’s gait.
Reject the lullaby of togetherness, stand alone, think coldly, act without asking.
Hail Satan!
