Infiltrator Rabbit Hole

There was recently a troll/infiltrator who dropped a few links off. I figured I'd break down what was said there since I can't sleep anyway. Note that many of these links aren't secure.

The websites that were given are more than 10 years old now, but I personally found some of the information written on SinCitySatanist to be interesting. This blog is apparently a non-biased perspective regarding the Joy of Satan and many other Satanic organizations. They declared their agenda to be:

This blog’s aim is to expose the lack of academic integrity in Satanism and Occult in general and promote religious tolerance for the sake of diversity and growth. I haven’t seen anyone being held accountable in any notable or consistent way, so that’s my job here.

The author took a hit on everyone but did focus more so on the Joy of Satan in an "open letter". You can see the blog actually used the phrase "Joy of Satan" more than it did "Satanism", based on the chart they show on the right side of the blog. Regardless of this person clearly not being a Satanist, they did project criticism on Satanism and expressed themselves beyond what most people have an attention span for. The blog could be used as a useful perspective when it comes to having public debates regarding the Joy of Satan. They also exposed their own structures and agendas.

SinCitySatanist is part of a network called "Theistic Satanism Blog Network" run by Diane Vera, where Allison (the author) is credited as a "core member". Looking more into Diane Vera, it's clear she at one point was a semi successful rival of the Joy of Satan. (her primary website here: http://theisticsatanism.com/index.html) Diane Vera vanished some time around 2013-2015, probably around the time her network was supposedly "hijacked" from within her organization.

Diane Vera mentions another group, called "Ordo Flammeus Serpens" to be a predecessor of Spiritual/Theistic Satanism.

I'm going to look further into this rabbit hole personally. For now all I can say is thank you to that retarded infiltrator/troll for sharing something nobody else cared about anymore.

The other site they shared is trash, clearly attempting to draw people away from the JoS and into some weird group they called Sanctuary of Satan, where they attempted to ask for crowd funding to launch a store in order to peddle non-essential occult ritual tools. How dare "reverend whoever" speaks about the worst aspects of the JOS and pulls something like that off. :lol: There's also Satanic International Network, but as far as I can tell they're irrelevant.

AVE.
 
One of the silly issues with that open letter is that they challenge us to "prove" the Al-Jilwah is Satanic, claiming they have proof that it's not. It would just be a battle of sources. Something like this: We say, "That book's not credible. This other book matches other history better." They say, "Oh, yeah? But the highly-respected Professor Goldstein said it is credible! And he says the other book is lying." and so on...

In the end, we know the Al-Jilwah is Satanic because Satan said so, directly to HPS Pythia. Case closed. But that won't satisfy anyone outside the JoS.

It still might do some good if the JoS had a formal response to that letter, but it may not be worth the time it would take to write.
