The Black Flame Vol. 2 No. 4

Iron Youth by Peter H. Gilmore

Satanists are continually accused by the media and hysterical Christian fanatics of child recruitment. They tell grim tales of slavering Satanists lurking about playgrounds and schoolyards  in search of apple-cheeked innocents who are to be kidnapped and then brainwashed into becoming servants of Satan. These feeble folk simply can't catch on to the fact that we find them, as well as the rotten fruit of their loins, to be unredeemably mediocre and not even worth pondering, let alone inviting into the Church of Satan. Such fantasies must stem from wishful, thinking; these drones dearly hope that they will be considered important enough to get our attention. To such I say, "Dream on!"

The youths that interest us are our own children, doubly blessed with fine genetic material as well as receiving the appropriate love, care, discipline and education to become part of the world's elite. As we move into the year XXVI, we find that many try I Satanists are in the process of raising a cherished second generation of Satanists. These young individuals are not forced into Satanism, but are raised to employ an open and questioning approach to all things, particularly religions and philosophies. Children do not take part in Satanic rituals save, should the parents so desire, for a Satanic Baptism Which celebrates the glorious carnality that gave rise to this precious new life.

We don't allow children to participate in ritual ' Workings until they have gained a full understanding of the principles involved and can contribute to the ritual process. Parents may mark the occasion of the young adults' stage of maturity, wherein they first take part in ritual, through a Satanic Confirmation ritual which welcomes the individual as a conscious magician and dedicated Satanist. This ritual should stress the nascent talents that the confirmee will work to develop through the application of Will, to become a true member of the elite.

Satanist parents are acutely aware of the great responsibility in their hands of giving their children the proper guidance to separate the diamonds from the dross in the overwhelming mass of information now available. They are careful to let their children know that they have few, if any, peers amongst the herd through which they must pass with utmost caution. They teach them to study all things, not to worship anything above themselves and those whom they value. They are taught to revel in their animal nature, and to study the nature of the human animal with great care, as Mankind does exist as a society which must be comprehended in order to master the methods of achieving personal desires.

Above all, our children will be encouraged to discover and develop their unique aptitudes, to explore many alternatives and chose that which each loves best. They shall surely inherit the globe as well as the stars, living lives full of success and pleasure.

We Satanists are here to stay and our iron youth, splendidly self-confident and disciplined, are the keys to the gateway into eternity. I have seen the glorious strength through joy radiating from the faces of our next generation and confidently predict that tomorrow, indeed, belongs to us.

     In going back and reading the bulk of Freud's work, I have found there to be quite a few links in thought or practice with Satanism and Satanic philosophy. Let's begin with one of my favorite quotes: "A man should not strive to eliminate his complexes but to get into accord with them: they are legitimately what directs his conduct in this world." ∑ Hey! Doesn't this sound a lot like turning your liabilities into advantages? Or transforming alienation into exclusivity? This is a key point many have missed, not only in Freud's writings but also in Satanic theory and practice, as it seems to go against

     Those of you who have read The Church of Satan, by Blanche Barton, have probably noticed the inclusior: of Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams on the reading list. This is a terrific place for Satanists to begin their exploration of Freud. Magicians have always been dream interpreters. This book was one of Freud's major turning points since one of its primary assertions is that the functioning of dreams provides systematic evidence of the Unconscious. Freud was forced, in this volume, to defend two theories at once. His basic conclusion that "dreams represent the fulfillment of wishes... " is not as simplistic as it sounds. Wish fulfillment in dreams is often so disguised that one is frequently apt to miss its occurrence.  Freud  provides  many  perplexing examples and case studies to illustrate his findings. For Satanists, this does not mean that you will now be equipped to interpret others' dreams, but it will give you splendid ammo and resources to learn from your own dreams about your hidden desires or impulses. After all, isn't the true meaning of the word "occult," that which is hidden?

    Extremist Groups in America by Susan Lang. (Franklin Watts, New York, 1990; 155 pages; ISBN 0-531-10901-1). Reviewed by Nemo.
    This book has large print and few pages, but don't be deceived! Within you will find a balanced and richly informative report on the history, present, and probable future of angry bigots in North America as well as a few other Western culture regions. Included is a quick psychological sketch of the causes of bigotry in addition to a brief summary of the universal message of almost all such groups, to wit:
    "You've been cheated. There is a widespread conspiracy against us. The conspirators are sexually corrupt. Doom is just around the corner. Capitalism and Communism both threaten us. We can't trust the foreigners. Our enemies are low animals. There is no middle ground. There must be no polluting of blood (we must remain racially pure). But with disaster around the corner, what can you do? The situation is
too urgent to permit the luxury of thought. Everybody is against me (they're trying to shut me up)."

The author clearly favors a massive reform of

Why not just admit that whatever it was you were doing, was exciting -- maybe the most exciting thing you've ever encountered?

having carnal desires, but for enjoying them too!  .
    Satanists enjoy our animal natures to the fullest and don't try to make excuses or ask for forgiveness. Satanists understand that carnal life is most precious because it is not eternal. Satanists understand that one of the most significant differences between our religion and that of the white-lighters, Moslems and occultniks, is our acknowledgement that our carnality needs no justification. I suggest that those still hazy on this subject tum to page 83 of The Satanic Bible.
    As for the emotional or "spiritual" charge you get when fulfilling your carnal desires -- enjoy it! Emotions are only useful when you use them! Use
them often! Life is too short to withhold pleasure from yourself.

The phallic fins impale the head of the herd with derogation for all he represents. Dr. LaVey embodies the efficacious, intellectual individual who, here scornfully surveys the scene before him of the emaciated, impotent Christ dangling limply on a cross. whose foundation is an irrational cube that cannot exist in three-dimensional form. This illusory figure exemplifies the sophistry and deceit of the founding premises of Christian dogma as well as the irrational demands its tenets exert on the gullible victims who succumb to its specious lies. This blockish cube is also a visual metaphor for the mental blockage and self denial caused by the repression of the so-called deadly sins such as pride, greed, lust. and all things passionate and pleasurable.
    Repression is the yoke of religion, a bondage to its demoralizing joylessness, and is here depicted as Diirer's "Praying Hands" are chained to the block. These hands signify the Christian who shackles himself to a repressive, suffocating dogma that subverts and sabotages the integrative function of his

    Around the mid- l 920's, Robert W.

The protagonists of these stories suffered horrible consequences after reading.the ∑play. Seeing "the Yellow sign" preceded madness, sorrow and death. The stories never reached the popularity of Chambers' other works, and even today, the book is available only through used bookstores, and can be so difficult to obtain that

l	rebirth of science and the creation of the P	 modern world. How is it that so little could inspire such greatness from so many? Where would we be now, if the knowledge of the Classicists had not been
ï destroyed, but - continued?
∑ï		Men will ever ponder what might have been; and mourn. But as to how the ancient knowledge managed to survive at all ï∑or rather the memory of it, and in some sense its spirit - that is a much easier question to answer. While it is true that the "bones" of the ancient world have told us much about the "nature of the beast" so to speak, it becomes ever more obvious to those with a heartfelt interest in history, that some of this knowledge
∑ never perished in the first place. Everywhere one looks are glimpses,
I evidence of this knowledge having survived. Into whichever historical stage one glances, one notices the battle between the "haves" and the "have-nots." Throughout history, small assemblies of people or single individuals of fame can be seen who "knew too much," when compared to the mindless intellectual squalor of their Christian contemporaries and adversaries. It is to these various and,
i, for the sake of survival in a hostile and ignorant Christian society,∑secretive
groups to which we shall now tum our attention. But first, what do the history
\  books tell us?
.	Historians know that the Arab
t  civilization-of the Middle Ages preserved
\ Ooa considerable portion of the knowledge of the ancient Hellenes (who shall be the
j foClls of our inquiry), as well as that of their imitators and admirers, the Romans. In fact, it is due to their love of and

to new heights, and inspired a quest for truth, a love of knowledge, and a desire for demonstration which is the foundation of our present modern scientific age. And still these works have things to say to us as well.
It is equally certain, as I hope to
demonstrate, that there were other avenues of preservation by which some of the knowledge of the Classical world managed to survive. While it is true that there are few individuals that can be pointed to as holders or teachers of knowledge, the evidence tends to reflect the situation of the people of Europe both economically and politically. Flowers do not spring from poor soil; neither do miserable men express joy.
Following the collapse of the
Western Roman Empire, a long, dark night descended upon Europe during which the Church ruled with an iron fist. Freedom of thought was impossible. Economically, feudal serfdom was considered to be a great improvement over the condition of people during this period. It is undoubtedly the worst period Europe had ever known. Hellenistic thought and knowledge was virtually absent from the historical record of this
time.
Only after the return of some fonn
of order, and a measure of financial prosperity, do we see any indication that - somehow - the bulb of the Hellenistic knowledge had endured the long, dark winter of the mind that had descended over Europe. About 1200 C.E., this continent began to slowly awaken from the poisonous into ∑ication of Christianity

the Devil's think-tank, was available to certain individuals. All of these things created the need for technical knowledge, as well as leisure time for reflection, conjecture, and speculation. The stage was set for a reappearance of Hellenic/ Pythagorean knowledge.
Even the Church, having given up
the notion - at least temporarily - that the world was going to end, and having benefitted from the newfound wealth of its parishioners, decided to lavish money on the great stone churches we call cathedrals. They even overcame their fear of the Roman hydraulic organ (now modified, and used in private castles for dancing) to the eternal gratitude of all their later worshippers, and installed these instruments in their new churches. In order to build these magnificent structures, a thorough knowledge of mathematics and structural engineering was required. The Church found such people, and the cathedrals we now enjoy were built at their orders. The Church Fathers are usually credited with these feats, but what is not as well known today is who the builders really were, and from whence did come their highly advanced knowledge of math.
Cologne Cathedral, which was
started in the I200's in Koln, Germany, could serve as an apt example of the knO\vledge possessed by these ancient stone-masons. Throughout this building there are logical and consequential relationships of width to height reflecting an advanced mathematical technology and a thorough understanding of structural engineering.
