Towards a Satanic Quakerism -A personal query
When asked what my religious views were this week I said this: Satanic Quaker. What does that mean?
Rebellion against the powerful
Questioning of all authority
Don’t doff your hat
Radical equality-and I mean it! You’re equal to others, so act with dignity and respect to all the others
Keeping it fucking simple
Spices:
Simple freedom
Persistence
Integrity
Creativity
Equality
Sensuality
I wait for the still small voices of the light and the wild to direct me.
Do as little harm. Stop fucking judging others.
Hail satan, and the other guy that lives rent free in my heart, the fucker.
Rebellion against power
Questioning of all authority
Don’t doff your hat
Radical equality
Keeping it fucking simple
quaker spices:
Simplicity: Keep it simple.
Peace: personal peace and nonviolence as a member of a majority, but also an acknowledgment that government should not have a monopoly on violence. The first step towards any kind of world peace is the disarming of power.
Integrity: try your best to be dependable. Let your yes be yes and your no be no. (this is one I struggle with)
community: Build it!
Equality: We are all equal because we are made of the same damn stuff. Have no power over others. Treat others with respect as long as they treat you with respect. Fundamentally anti fascist and pro equality. All are welcome.
Stewardship: we are flesh. Taking care of the world is self-preservation. Stop shitting where you eat. See the world as it is, and see it as sacred. Do as little harm as you can.
Satanic spices:
Satan equals freedom. Spiritual freedom. Intellectual freedom. Physical freedom. Your freedom should not impinge on the freedoms of others.
Persistence. Work towards your gold. Find your true path and follow it.
Integrity: try your best to be dependable. Let your yes be yes and your no be no. (this is one I struggle with)
Creativity: we create the world. Make the world you want to live in.
Equality: We are all equal because we are made of the same damn stuff. Have no power over others. Treat others with respect as long as they treat you with respect. If someone is working against equality we must fight them.
Selfishness/sensuality: We are driven by desire. Sex, magic, creation, sensuality-these all exist. Do not ignore them. Revel in them, with an eye towards who it harms.
How are these integrated? How they play off of each other?
