1. Stupidity—The top of the list for Satanic Sins. The Cardinal Sin of Satanism. It’s too bad that stupidity isn’t painful. Ignorance is one thing, but our society thrives increasingly on stupidity. It depends on people going along with whatever they are told. The media promotes a cultivated stupidity as a posture that is not only acceptable but laudable. Satanists must learn to see through the tricks and cannot afford to be stupid.
2. Pretentiousness—Empty posturing can be most irritating and isn’t applying the cardinal rules of Lesser Magic. On equal footing with stupidity for what keeps the money in circulation these days. Everyone’s made to feel like a big shot, whether they can come up with the goods or not.
3. Solipsism—Can be very dangerous for Satanists. Projecting your reactions, responses and sensibilities onto someone who is probably far less attuned than you are. It is the mistake of expecting people to give you the same consideration, courtesy and respect that you naturally give them. They won’t. Instead, Satanists must strive to apply the dictum of “Do unto others as they do unto you.” It’s work for most of us and requires constant vigilance lest you slip into a comfortable illusion of everyone being like you. As has been said, certain utopias would be ideal in a nation of philosophers, but unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, from a Machiavellian standpoint) we are far from that point.
4. Self-deceit—It’s in the “Nine Satanic Statements” but deserves to be repeated here. Another cardinal sin. We must not pay homage to any of the sacred cows presented to us, including the roles we are expected to play ourselves. The only time self-deceit should be entered into is when it’s fun, and with awareness. But then, it’s not self-deceit!
5. Herd Conformity—That’s obvious from a Satanic stance. It’s all right to conform to a person’s wishes, if it ultimately benefits you. But only fools follow along with the herd, letting an impersonal entity dictate to you. The key is to choose a master wisely instead of being enslaved by the whims of the many.
6. Lack of Perspective—Again, this one can lead to a lot of pain for a Satanist. You must never lose sight of who and what you are, and what a threat you can be, by your very existence. We are making history right now, every day. Always keep the wider historical and social picture in mind. That is an important key to both Lesser and Greater Magic. See the patterns and fit things together as you want the pieces to fall into place. Do not be swayed by herd constraints—know that you are working on another level entirely from the rest of the world.
7. Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies—Be aware that this is one of the keys to brainwashing people into accepting something new and different, when in reality it’s something that was once widely accepted but is now presented in a new package. We are expected to rave about the genius of the creator and forget the original. This makes for a disposable society.
8. Counterproductive Pride—That first word is important. Pride is great up to the point you begin to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The rule of Satanism is: if it works for you, great. When it stops working for you, when you’ve painted yourself into a corner and the only way out is to say, I’m sorry, I made a mistake, I wish we could compromise somehow, then do it.
9. Lack of Aesthetics—This is the physical application of the Balance Factor. Aesthetics is important in Lesser Magic and should be cultivated. It is obvious that no one can collect any money off classical standards of beauty and form most of the time so they are discouraged in a consumer society, but an eye for beauty, for balance, is an essential Satanic tool and must be applied for greatest magical effectiveness. It’s not what’s supposed to be pleasing—it’s what is. Aesthetics is a personal thing, reflective of one’s own nature, but there are universally pleasing and harmonious configurations that should not be denied

Blood Red Sandman
They called me the leather apron
the called me smiling jack
they prayed to the heavens above
that I will never ever come back
can your hear all the children weep?
chills of fear like a sawblades cutting deep
Once again there is pain
I bring flames, I bring cold
I'm the blood red sandman coming home
on this unholy night I will make you my own
blood red sandman
coming home again
Red drops stain satin so white
the way I sign my name
the neighbourhood's pretty dead at night
and I'm the one to blame
Scream all you want
you won't wake up when you scream
no-one leaves
the monsterican dream

My favorite Lordi song!
I AM THE BLOOD RED SANDMAN!
Mwah!
Was put in there in Honor of You*grins*
Swamped
When you're taught through feelings
Destiny flying high above
all I know is that you can realize it
Destiny who cares
as it turns around
and I know that it descends down on me
It's just another day
the shame is gone
hard to believe
that I've let it go
Destiny can't replace my life
Scary shadows of my past
are alive
Destiny who cares
as it turns around
and I know that it descends
with a smile
It's just another day
the shame is gone
it's hard to believe
that I've let it go away
It's just a melody
it bleeds in me
hard to believe
that I've let it go
Heaven's A Lie
Oh no,
here it is again
I need to know
when I will fall in decay
Something wrong
with every plan of my life
I didn't really notice that you've been here
Dolefully desired
Destiny of a lie
Set me free
your heaven's a lie
set me free with you love
set me free, yeah
Oh no,
here it is again
I need to know
why did I choose to betray you
Something wrong
with all the plans of my life
I didn't realize that you've been here
Dolefully desired
Destiny of a lie
[x2]
Set me free
your heaven's a lie
set me free with you love
set me free, yeah
Dolefully desired
[x3]
Set me free
your heaven's a lie
set me free with you love
set me free, yeah
Within Me
Something about you that makes me feel bad
I wasn’t there when a thin line destroyed your soul
I search every corner
There’s nowhere to hide
How I feel ignorance
Sacrifice some days it’s harder
Let’s face it, it’s all about me
Deeply into your own
Deep within me
Life’s crawling and wasting my days
Another night gone and I know there will be another way
I’m leading myself to be free
In this eternal goodbye
Something about you will make me stronger
Now I’m aware when a man falls rebound, my fault
I search every corner
Just nowhere to hide
How I feel ignorance
Sacrifice some days it’s harder
Let’s face it, it’s all about me
Deeply into your own
Deep within me
Life’s crawling and wasting my days
Another night gone and I know there will be another way
I’m leading myself to be free
In this eternal goodbye
Here I wanna be
No more lies!
Deep within me
Life’s crawling and wasting my days
Another night gone and I know there will be another way
I’m leading myself to be free
In this eternal goodbye
Devoted
I'll be there when there's nothing left.
And night and day, holding you.
Harmony, deep inside your soul.
Meet me there.
Can you feel me?
(Can you feel me?)
Can you feel me deep inside?
There's no time to deny that I need you.
And I'll be there to repair your delightful days.
There's no time to deny that I need you.
That's why I'll be there to relieve your painful days.
Hiding well where the pain is real.
Night and day, growing you.
In the haze, poison in your veins.
Meet me there.
Can you feel me?
(Can you feel me?)
Can you feel me deep inside?
There's no time to deny that I need you.
And I'll be there to repair your delightful days.
There's no time to deny that I need you.
That's why I'll be there to relieve your painful days.
Deep inside.
There's no time to deny that I need you.
And I'll be there to repair your delightful days.
There's no time to deny that I need you.
That's why I'll be there to relieve your painful days.
Dark is my heart ,My soul does bleed,I fell in love with the demon's seed,His eyes are darker than the black night sky,I melt like ice when he looks into my eyes,heated fingers stroke along my full ripe breasts,he touches me so hungered, there will be no rest,He owned me in that instant that our eyes met,the trickle of moisture traced silken thigh,a wicked evil chuckle eased from his lips ,knowing hidden places had become very wet,He plays me to perfection, his instrument of dark love,tied delicate wrists tightly and pullled the rope above,I dangle on the tips of toes,his little dancing queen,His dark narrowed, his demeanor had become mean,he lips met mine in savage brutal bliss,lips torn and bruised in the depth of his kiss,the kiss of the flogger left a trail along my flesh,my mind began to slip into that place where pain and pleasure mesh,when I am in that space that is mine alone,my wicked demon lover unties and brings me home,back into his cold loving arms cradled in his embrace,the stripes of his affection along my back you trace,like badges worn with honor, in deep darkest love,He is my everything my dark angel from above,.I worship and honor Him till the end of all time,That was my promise as he whispered in my ear" mine"a promise I will keep till my dying day,then go to that dark place where all dark angels play..
