Maybe, but it did have a pretty big impact. It made Satanism fun
and acceptable for anybody that wanted it, as was the intent.

I think he believed in life beyond this, spirits and/or spiritual
forces, and all of that would bring a person back to belief in
more powerful and supreme beings like God and Satan. Here
are what make me believe he believed in "spiritual" beings
and their influence:

and remain earthbound."

The Ingredients Used In The Perfomance Of A Satanic Ritual

C. Imagery

.. . . "A Greek gentleman of magical persuastion" went about
constructing the woman of his dreams: "His work completed, he
fell so convincingly and irrevocabley in love with the woman
he had created that she was no longer stone, but mortal flesh,
and alive and warm; and so the magus, Pygmalion, received the
greatest of magical benedictions, and the beautiful Galatea
was his."

"Turning counter-clockwise, the priest points with the sword

the east, Belial from the north, and Leviathan from the west.

I believe he was Satan's boy deliberately, and probably even
considered it amusing to be so dishonest about it.

I'm not saying he taught an "ar" idea, but it was more that than
encouraging animal sacrifice. He stated specifically not to do that:
__________________________________________________ _______
An animal is *never* slaughtered for the purpose of using all or part of that
animal in a Satanic ritual."

P.139
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I don't remember what else he said about them other than pointing this out:
__________________________________________________ _______
"the Eastern mystic is even more preoccupied than the Christian
with avoiding animalistic actions that remind him he is not a
"saint," but merely a man--only another form of animal, sometimes
better, *more often worse*, than those who walk on all fours; and
who, because of his "divine spiritual and intellectual development,"
has become the most vicious animal of all!"

Good point. I've wondered if Satanists would send their kids to
Satanic Bible Camp where they get taught how to indulge their
egos, and throw spells of lust at girls they want to ****, and spells
of destruction at people they have something against, etc...

Okay. I don't have any examples of it either way.
