Satanism and Neo-Paganism and Occult Religions

We are discussing on Facebook how Satanism is essentially teaching the same thing as various occult religions such as Kabbalah and Scientology. Satanism teaches rebellion from the law and salvation in a balance of nature.

Consider what Satanism teaches:

The very word “devil” comes from the Indian word devi which means “god.” Satan represents opposition to all religions which serve to frustrate and condemn man for his natural instincts. The Greek word demon meant “guardian spirit or source of inspiration.”…Occult lore states that only the most formidably “protected” or insanely foolhardily sorcerer would try to call forth the Devil himself. These are the names and origins of the Gods and Goddesses called upon, which make up a large part of the occupancy of the Royal Palace of Hell:

THE FOUR CROWN PRINCES OF HELL

SATAN- adversary, opposite, accuser, Lord of fire, the inferno, the south
LUCIFER- bringer of light, enlightenment, the air, the morning star, the east
BELIAL- without a master, the baseness of the earth, independence, the north
LEVIATHAN- the serpent out of the deeps, the sea, the west

TO BECOME A SATANIST, IT IS UNNECESSARY TO SELL YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL OR MAKE A PACT WITH SATAN. Most Satanists don’t accept Satan as an anthropomorphic being with cloven hooves, a barbed tail, and horns. He merely represents a force of nature.

-Satanic Bible, pp. 55-57, 61-62

The New Age Movement is simply a re-packaging of Satanic beliefs. The New Age also teaches people to pray to the north, the south, the east, and the west for “protection.” Their four-pointed star stands for these corners of the universe. Just like Satanism.
