Spiritual Satanism FAQ ?

[Dahaarkan]

Hello,

Something I've wanted in the Library for a while is a comprehensive FAQ that could help many newcomers with common questions and save time from having to answer the same questions over and over. I know such posts exist already, and one especially is really high quality but the person in question is no longer affiliated with JoS, and I'm still deciding whether or not content by people who have left should be used.

I'll be taking what's of value from the above, but I'd also like to further expand on this. So if anybody wishes to help expand on this, just reply with your own frequently asked question & answer.

Anything related to Satanism, astrology, politics and enemy programs is what's wanted here. But if there's something that personally troubled you, put it in too as answering it may help others too. As usual, everybody is credited for their contribution.

I'm very interested in this and I'll help you as time permits and if you want me to. We can make a longer list of both questions and situational answers to them.

This is the FAQ I mentioned, both of those posts are very high quality. But then there's the issue of the person in question, who left in rage denouncing HC. I'm not really on board with putting in the Library names who have left on sour terms, especially denouncing legitimate clergy or JoS.

Both of the above posts were some of the first I had in mind but then there's the issue of not knowing which affiliation this person has now. I don't think anybody wants to have in the Library names of traitors or infiltrators. Which rational satanist probably wasn't, but I don't know for certain since he's not around anymore.

I know a big FAQ: How to find your Guardian Demon?

My answer: There is a post from someone that GITM copy/pasted although one point in that post is not very accurate IMO, and that is the part about someones guardian probably being of the element someone loves the most. It's not so much about what one likes or loves the most, although this can factor into it in certain cases to an extent, but not so much with the elements as with interests in general also.

Elementally speaking one's guardian will most likely be the element you are most dominant in. It is about what you are made up of, the make up of your soul. If one meditates on astrology and patterns closely as well as their own chart, they will see they have a tendency to attract people who are elementally most like them, usually dominant in the same element(s) they are, and people who even share their chart ruler. If someone has a planet close to their descendant, they will also attract people who have the qualities of this planet, and it might even be the ruler of the sun sign of the ones that someone attracts. If one looks closely enough and sees this happening if they study astrology, they will most likely notice these patterns as well when it comes to elemental makeup in their guardian as well as ruling planets, and specialties and interests. Just as we attract people who are compatible to our personality, which is very influenced by our elemental make up, so shall we also probably have a guardian who is compatible to us this way.

It is indeed accurate that it will usually be a Demon of the gender one is attracted to, due to the opposite gender energies working well together and complimenting. Interests and habits of the person will/ can often coincide with the Demon. Ie: nocturnal people who are most active at night might have a night Demon for a guardian. Or someone who is very much into a particular skill or interest will be that of what the Demon specializes in.

Not all of these factors have to apply, but some and often many usually do. Take not also that there are Zevism who have guardians who are not always necessarily from the Goetia.

It is certain that focusing on who you feel most drawn to also can help you find out who this may be, If there is an intense feeling of undying unquestioning love and adoration, you can be sure that this is not only probably your guardian (or could be) but Someone who probably has been with you during other lifetimes bonding with you and helping you advance. The deepness alone of the feelings you feel will relay this, as this is a manifestation of a very strong bond.

Focusing on the Demon and asking them if they are your guardian while vibrating their name can give you an answer also either by leading you to some or all of the above, or if you are open enough eventually an answer will come telepathically or on the astral in one way or another. This can also come in a dream.

Methods of divination can be used but are usually hit and miss when someone is new, unless there is somehow a knack for this due to work on the soul and occult practices in past lives. Those of you who are water dominant and or who have Neptune or the moon well placed in ways that don't promote spawning delusions, you may find that the answer to this can come quicker than others due to you being more open and psychic naturally than the average. This nevertheless needs to be empowered and worked on to grasp whatever you may be receiving from the Gods.

One other thing to remember however, is that your guardian will not always have everything in common with you, and can even have qualities you are weak in or don't possess that they want to train you in or help you strengthen. Some people also are attracted to others who are opposites to them for this very reason, finding them interesting or wanting to learn from them. This personality is also likely to attract A Demon who might want to teach them this way.

Some people are also dominant in 2 elements, and can have a guardian who can be dominant in just one of these. There are some cases where someone might have more than one guardian but this from what I understand is not common, with most of the exceptions being having 2 guardians.

I don't think anybody wants to have in the Library names of traitors or infiltrators. Which rational satanist probably wasn't, but I don't know for certain since he's not around anymore.

I wasn't aware that he denounced HC. Nevertheless, it's great work in any case. The easiest solution would be to add that the person who made the guide is not affiliated with JoS anymore. Library could also include a section mentioning somewhere that some of the work is by people who are not actively participating in forums, or their current affiliation is unknown, or something similar. I understand that someone not active here being mentioned there can be problematic, but great work should not be so easily dismissed.

Another solution would be to plagiarize the work, which is tasteless, but then you would not have to worry about the credits anymore.

And lastly make your own or have someone make it inspired by the above. Now this is kind of tricky since the above already touch many of the subjects that need to be mentioned so it would still almost be like borderline plagiarizing.

That FAQ, isn't unique and doesn't have any "poetic" imprint, and the personal structure created is also quite rigid.

It is a compilation of the collective knowledge, so it can be put forth. There's no unique metaphors as far as I read it.

I also am against as I said in the past, of the main point this member has done.

"What not to do first? Answer: Summon a Demon".

The first thing I did in spirituality before and after finding out JoS, was to summon a Demon.

The mature expectation of this is to be entertained, but not disabling the curiosity, action, by some projected expectations of what such a new member might experience. We don't have to justify a learning curve as something of this rigidity, and also stop new members.

This is also highly intimate and it cannot take general form as a rule, especially if being on JoS.

"Your Guardian Demon will not contact you if you are not past some point in your advancement and cannot contact you if you haven't opened your astral senses"

So new members must not contact Gods, or take interest in AT LEAST in the concept of their Guardian Demon. All of this is creating blockages by reversing and focusing on the bad expectation of this.

This is the only problem I saw with the above on a very quick reading, given this member has afterwards advised in the same manner regarding this and also had extensive problems on his rigidity. This doesn't need to be further propagated and I see a very big problem with this.

Rigidity, stubborn and assertive articles have importance and cater to specifics. But not for general and especially for beginners. Beginners must have the right platform of thoughts to expand their desire and not be closed of, especially for our contact with the Gods.

Contact and communication with the Gods is a process and must start very soon. Not later.

I can give a hand to help if it is necessary and if others haven't already got on it.

Would putting "A JoS member" instead of the name work well enough for this project? Similar to what we did for the recent editing project. No need to add the link to the original post I think.

Technically he/she was a member at the time they wrote it. Just throwing ideas.

 

[Henu the Great]

...

I remember reading this from you before. Despite the faults, I think we can see some value in the instructions as it's a package of readily available info in easy to digest format. If you would chime in it would be very nice.

Just like Mageson turned to JoS forum contributor in some of the sites.

I'm very interested in this and I'll help you as time permits and if you want me to. We can make a longer list of both questions and situational answers to them.

The way I wanted to do this, is to simply have this open thread where anybody can pitch in with their own frequently asked question and the answer for it. The reason for this is simply to prevent us all from wasting each other's time, as we can all see this being done and you know what's already been written so we don't all end up writing the same things.

The open thread fashion also means anybody can give corrections and even expand upon given answers for a truly comprehensive FAQ compilation. It's really as simple as just write in a reply what you wish to add to this FAQ document.

Many of us have answered many questions in the forums, and just recalling questions you've been asked and the answers to these is valuable in itself. If the thread gains traction and members start contributing to this, I'll start putting the FAQ together with everybody's contributions. And we can all work on this together as a community project, though please, if you are working on the current big editing project going on, focus your time on that instead of this. There is no deadline for this FAQ thing, and the editing project should be a higher priority.


One single person does not have all the answers. But I think if we all start pitching in to this we can make something truly comprehensive and useful for every newcomer. Even doubts or issues you encountered personally, to which you later found the answers can be instrumental to an other's understanding of things.

 

[Dahaarkan]

I can give a hand to help if it is necessary and if others haven't already got on it.

Another advantage of having just an open thread where we're putting this together is corrections can also be made before it is put into a completed document. So if the thread gains traction and people start putting in their own frequently asked questions, you and others may also either expand or correct upon these if you want to.

Just please, and this is not to you specifically but a general thing, don't start insulting each other over misinformation or mistakes.

I already wrote some things, will post here.

But I find a lack of "questions" more as an obstacle than the answers themselves. I focus on what I encountered myself as a newbie and try to limit the answer to a beginner friendly level as well.

But it would be nice to discuss what in general are the common curiosities to address.

FAQ - Deprogramming, Religion, Satanism
FAQ - Meditation and Advancement
FAQ - Magical Workings
FAQ - Demons of Satan

This is how I categorized the questions for a quick structuring.

Forum posts are hard to find, especially from the members. I think besides the answer, linking to good posts from members that address the issue would be more encompassing.

To me this is strange composition, being that someone who studies JOS would have answered already the common questions and also a search on the forum by studying would suffice. I guess it can be a guideline for these questions? As a starter for easier and faster read?

For example HP Zevios Metathronos has made a FAQ about Squares. Similarly we do for many subjects and compile it into a full document?

HP. Cobra, on a re-read on all of his writings in the last months, has addressed beyond all questions a beginner would have to start on this path.

But I understand that this can be overwhelming for a beginner and they necessitate a more practical and direct answer such as a structuring of FAQ.

Also a FAQ about warfare has been made many times by HP, we can put this too and expand on it as many times during the schedule there are still questions such as "I didn't do this today, can I do it tomorrow", " I accidentally vibrated more times a word, is the Ritual invalid now?" Etc. etc.

Many times this is just small doubt and they need confirmation, support to develop.

In an ideal world people would actually read the material in JoS before making an account and asking questions, but this isn't the case. I doubt any newcomers will be reading through every sermon by HC, but they would be quickly drawn to an FAQ document that answers many general questions in a more quick and accessible fashion.

The point here is to have quick and accessible answers that while not providing in depth insight, provide one with a basic understanding of different things. As to help alleviate doubts and become the foundation to later understand more complicated or advanced subjects. No one will read this FAQ and walk out with absolute understanding of everything, but one will be able to grasp many different things and take the first step to begin to understand things more deeply as they then continue to study the JoS. At least this is what's intended.


As for how the document comes together, we'll see the volume of questions we can answer, and depending on that we may even make separate documents. But I think just one document with different categories will be enough. I have some questions I'll drop in later too.

I'll be sniping HC's FAQs for this too, thanks for bringing it up.

Since there's no dead line, I will take my time with this. I focus on Meditations and Demons of Satan.

 

[Priest - Alexandros Iowno]

1. What is meditation?

Meditation is a necessary activity for advancement.

Meditating, you undergo a process of establishing control over your mind and willingly activate parts of the brain that are dormant, using them to pursue a spiritual action or a work of advancement.

Meditation is an inward movement of focus, structured on aim, being in itself a process.

Meditation encompasses many types of inner workings and activities. For example one of the first meditations can be to acquire a trance, then further on the path using a trance for a meditation on chakras and so on.

All of our workings and meditations consist in building solid grounds upon which every meditation and learned quality of ourselves is then conjoined, and complemented to sustain a higher level of openness and action.


2. Meditation is only calming, there's no evidence of much more. I am a rational Satanist.

Meditation is thought wrongly as just a contemplation, just a calming stillness.

Meditation consists in making you used to silence the obsessive daily mental space (thoughts, convictions, etc.), giving space despite the conscious tendency, for the feminine mind to open.

The above takes time and also dedication, but it is not so hard either. It is the beginning of learning what spirituality means.

For successful meditation, convictions of rational etiquette do matter, as these create limits and blockages. They can be overcome by some willingness to experience and curiosity.

A decisive helper is that of understanding how our brain works and by direct experience in time. There are also countless proofs and studies to be done regarding immediate and long-term benefits of meditation, which go beyond the "calmness" effect. This will also be very clearly differentiated in effects by what meditations we perform, as the meditations are different and perform different things.

3. I am falling asleep during meditation

This is normal as a beginner and can be dealt with by washing your face before meditating, and during meditation by maintaining focus on the task, and actively pursuing your aim.

Many times you'll fall asleep and wake up shortly after. This can be your mind programmed against it and also your mind not being accustomed to having reached a deeper trance by being conscious.

Trance aims to be conscious and aware, and your perception is memorized on a conscious level.

Fully focusing even on the astral body and the buzz within the trance is still action and a focusing aim. Bring back your focus if failing. If starting to have dreams wide awake, in the moment of conscience of it, do bring them back and remember what are you doing. Failing multiple times, go for a walk, wake your body slowly, wash your face and wait for a bit until another round.



4. Do I need to meditate every day?

Yes, it doesn't take much time and the benefits are beyond present comprehension.

Failing a day or two won't matter as much as long as you strive to reach stability and discipline. It is ideal to meditate every day.

Having a pattern and rhythm of when you meditate, as a lifestyle is also very good. All of this is for a constant, fueling, learning experience you accustom your soul and body to.

5. I expected much more, but it didn't happen

Expectations can lead to confusion and also depression. It is natural to have expectations, yet they need to be confronted with reality and accordingly rewired to factual anticipation.

Curiosity and openness are a more fitting helper in this, rather than closing in a limited expectation. In time any expectation will be overwhelmed in face of the beauty of reality.

6. I expected less, I am overwhelmed

This needs only passing time for understanding. Meditation can be very stimulating or overwhelming sometimes. If that is so for you, take it slow and have yourself assured that this will be adapted in time.

7. I meditated but I don't have siddhis

Siddhis are developed from a very prolonged period of training and a factual higher level of advancement. This entails dedication and a mature approach.

In time, our powers of the mind will glimpse and reach out to be grasped, trained, and expanded. As our soul opens, our natural tendencies and also inborn powers open as well.

Meditation is a part of the above, a more complex mechanism of action is done to achieve some powers, such as establishing our spiritual bodies, gaining control and knowledge of them, and also having the spiritual and material sustenance to perform them.

Having the above said, your enthusiasm about this is however not misplaced, and during advancement, you'll find satisfaction in similarity and also in the training of them. It is a journey.

8. Can I meditate all day long?

Meditation done right, in most cases will necessitate effort and that will take effect on someone, especially if done excessively.

While meditation gives a lot of energy, if done too much, will leave you unbalanced.

A balance is required, the brain necessitates both conscious alert active states and also passive states. You have to learn your timing and establish a routine as time and energy permit.

High-level goals are awesome but it needs realism and actual sustenance in time. Depending on the meditation the answer is relative to the above.

9. I cannot feel energy

Energy, and power are not dependent solely on your ability to discern them in such a straightforward manner.

There are many ways to understand the energy raised, by experience and analysis you'll learn and discover. It might be only a matter of awareness as you'll see.

In time as you advance, energy will be felt also in accord with your level and being. Feeling energy differs in manifestation for everyone, but a general description of it is available.

10. I am spinning when I acquire a trance

This means that not only you were successful you also have a developed ability within this.

Many times our astral body can be placed a little bit differently, we can perceive also movement from the head up to full body rotations and directions.

If you spin, bring your focus to your belly.

If you are free-falling, bring your focus on your front body, forward.

If you are rising by the head, upwards, focus on your legs and base chakra.

The spontaneous happening of the above might mean excessive bio electricity in your body. You can ask a Demon to get the excess of you.

 

[Priest - Alexandros Iowno]

Like the above if it is welcomed I'll post more as much as it is needed, however some questions would be helpful.

 

[Henu the Great]

Like the above if it is welcomed I'll post more as much as it is needed, however some questions would be helpful.

I was thinking about writing how 8 fold path relates to meditations JoS provides and other things that fall into the 8 categories, but since you have the task I should present this idea for you.

My idea was going to link the neccessary websites into the text so that there would be interlocking feature. This way new people will more readily grasp the idea what is what, how and why.

Questions related could be:

I dedicated and now what?

What meditations should I do?

How and when do I meditate? (or practice in general)

And important core practices on which everything is built over time.

Etc. etc.

Absolutely, linking sermons and members posts is a must for every question, statement. Creating a web of supportive answers to open the mind and structure solid grounds for proper flowering.

I tend to answer the statements of stagnation, rater than pure curiosity. More on the cleaning side.

I will post here in the same fashion, but since this is an open thread and not individually focused, we should all participate and structure.

For example Lydia has targeted Yoga etc. Let's work here and post all of us, teamwork.

FAQ about breath work etc. All encompassing FAQ in the end.

This is a very good idea, I'll be adding those links too. We're on to making something really good here.

 

[Dahaarkan]

I have a few ones I had written down also.

1: I stopped meditating, rituals, yoga or fully stopped practicing Satanism for X amount of time, should I perform the dedication again?

The dedication ritual is permanent and cannot be reversed, and does not have to be repeated if you stray from your path for some time. People often stray especially in their early years in Satanism, this is more common than you might think and a formal re-introduction into Satanism is not required. Simply start meditating and participating in rituals again.


2: I performed a ritual to reverse the dedication and now wish to return, should I repeat the dedication ritual?

There is nothing you can do that will reverse the dedication ritual. Attempting to do so is simply a pointless disrespect towards the old Gods and is strongly discouraged. If you walk away from this path, the old gods won't come running after you. You may leave at any time.


3: Am I protected from all negativity, consequence or danger after performing the dedication ritual?

The protection granted by the dedication ritual is not unconditional. You will not, for example be protected by the consequences of your own actions or decisions. If you pick a fight with the wrong people, put yourself in danger in callous and foolish fashion or make poor decisions with terrible consequences, you will NOT be sheltered from this.

You are protected from things you are unable to protect yourself from. You are not protected from dangers or damage you bring upon yourself. Stay sharp and stay safe. You will be guided and protected, but this is within reasonable limits.


4: I cannot sense, see or feel energy or meditations taking effect, am I making no progress?

Over analyzing your situation only limits your progress. Some people have a good feel for these things, others don't. Some progress fast, others are slow. Everyone's pace is individual and comparing yourself to others is a pointless exercise, because the rate at which you grow and progress spiritually is based on innumerable factors including but not limited to:

- Your physical health
- Your upbringing
- How deeprooted enemy programs are in your soul
- Trauma, damage or pollution from past lives
- The environment in which you meditate


The above are just a few examples of things that can affect the rate at which you progress and gain a better feel for the spiritual. Everyone's path, and time to achieve things is individual and impossible to gauge.

Some quickly pick up the pace and open & clean their soul very quickly, others will take months just to open one chakra. And at times someone who advanced very quickly falls off a cliff and permanently lose their way. And sometimes someone who had a very slow start ends up becoming very powerful and healthy with time.

Speed is not important, what matters is consistency. Be consistent, be determined and be focused.


5: I made a mistake, left Satanism or disrespected Satan or the old Gods, am I going to be punished or abandoned?

Outside of severe treason, dedicated souls are not punished or abandoned. The door is always open for you to start again. Contrary to what some believe, when you "leave" Satan you are not doing a disservice to Him but actually doing a disservice to yourself.

He does not need you, you need Him. Do not obsess over this, start meditating and work on yourself again. The old Gods value action more than words. The best, and only way to really redeem yourself for any mistakes you've made, is to better yourself and participate in rituals again.

Do not overthink it. Just start again.


6: I do not agree with or like the JoS community. Is this path for me?

Participating in the group is entirely optional. You do not have to read or participate in any conversations had by the community. It is however highly recommended that you read through important announcements and follow the ritual schedule. If you do not like the group or even clergy, it is not required that you interact.

Zevism is about bettering yourself and establishing a relationship with S, and furthering His agenda. If the group is not for you, this is entirely fine and understandable, and you can totally continue to walk this path even if you do not interact with the group in any way.

The faq should have a small section explaining the usefulness and importance of searching info on JoS and here. Perhaps including an example, or a link to more elaborate instructions on a different page.
