Satanism vs Nazism
As contradictory as it may be, there are people who claim on the one hand beeing a satanist and on the other hand they identify themselves with fascistic matters.
Symbols like the "Hakenkreuz" or the "Siegesrunen" (SS) certainly are very stimulating objects and can be very effective tools for magical work WITHOUT necessarily beeing a fan of Hitler. But you should be sure of the very fact that there is an intersection of two totaly different and opposed beliefs!
Fascism postulates a leader and a blind following mass. Satanism doesn't want leaders or sheeps, but you become your very own leader and servant.
But where does this strange and contradictory overlapping come from? I will try to find some answers to this question:
1) First of all there exist an elitist aspect in both Satanism and Nazism:
- In the philosophy of the "Thule Gesellschaft", which later was known as the NSDAP, there you only could join with an "official Aryan proof"! (Except people with good connections to the leadership and a fat purse ). In their philosophy the "Aryan" was second to none, the ultimate superior "Übermensch". So they built up an ideology in which the strong rules about the weak! In the end in fact it was the social situation and the money which decided who was strong or weak! Everyone, even the most intelligent, most creative or sporty guy, everyone who wasn't an "Aryan" was "unwertes Leben", which means unworthy life in general!
- In modern satanism the elite builds itself because of REAL EXISTENT qualities and not of a spooky illusion, designed by might-addicted-frustrated-white men with inferior complexes and consequential megalomania! In a satanic view the value of an human depends on what he/her creates. Beeing a god/desinger of your own life is truly satanic! For example an artist, a free thinker or a philosoph - this people have proofable capabilities. They create things and therefore they are theoretical even an enrichment for society! In the opposite there is the big mass of people, who hide themselves behind their money and their television, trying to escape from the fear of their life! These people are totaly useless and have no special value for society. In the human-satanic hierarchy everyone who works on him/herself stays some steps above the average passive cry-baby who always searches the guilt of his own abortive life by other people, for example the Jews or other "devils"!
So as you can see both philosophies have an elitist attitude, nevertheless with COMPLETELY different background and meanings!
2) Another possibility is the fact, that there exist a lot of rumours about supposed satanic rituals inside the SS:
- That there actually were rituals is a very fact because the whole NSDAP was founded on an esoteric order!!! But whats the deal about satanism? Everyone who was present at the rituals are either allready dead or as good as. Every "facts" you can read in the endless number of paranoid "NAZI-SATANISM-BOOKS" are JUST SPECULATIONS! Because NO MEMBER of Himmlers "Totenkopforden" (Order of the Skull) would EVER share secrets to an outsider, because ONLY the leadership demonstrable was active in an esoteric fog and EVERYONE of them was a CONVINCED member of the order and a true follower of "Atlantis", "Aryan" and miscellaneous esoteric movements of that time and they rather died before they would tell one fucking word about the inner core of the SS to uninitiated "Untermenschen".
- The term "HAIL" was OVERTAKEN from the alt-germanic language and the official salutation inside the order was "Heil und Sieg". Later it became to a more compatible term for the mass "SIEG HEIL" or even "HEIL HITLER"! To derive HAIL SATAN from HEIL HITLER therefore is absolutely stupid!
- Thinking about Hitler mostly let you thinking about might too! To gain in power of your own life and therefore of your environment certainly is an attractive target which is really worth to achieve for a satanist. But if you want to accept the implicated urge for freedom in modern satanism, you will have to be carefull not to be tempted by the destructive "might" of controlling people. Because the leader is as dependent from his followers as they are from him. Besides, personally I can imagine a more stimulating company than stupid sheeps, who try to imitate me but never will make the grade and therefore try to let their frustrations out on me and actually I am tired of hidden attacks of weak spineless and jealos people.
So:
Actually nobody really knows what kind of rituals were performed!
HAIL SATAN has nothing to do with HEIL HITLER!
And people who think it is awesome to enslave hundred thousands of people have misunderstood the satanic ideal of freedom and maybe they should convert to christianity!
3) The last point is the BlackMetal movement from Norway and Sweden:
- Varg Vikerness, I guess the most important founder of black metal, gradually created a strange "heathen-racism", so he believes in the basic superiority of the white man. And I could imagine that he has had a big influence, at least of several parts, of the satanic movement.
I mean: Of course there are differences between races!
But assuming a fundamental superiority of one race is fucking stupid and totaly unlogical, because values are allways relative! Especially if this "values" are built on an unsteady fundament like "genetic superiority", which really isn't very creative not to mention realistic and intelligent!
Gods were made by work resp. they create themselves! It doesn't matter if you are white, black, yellow, red or green-pink checked!
I would say, for example,...every Aboriginee is spiritual more educated than 95% of ALL white people in the western civilication! Does this mean that "the white man" is less valuable? On the other side, a white man maybe can build a nuclear station or invent the internet! Does this mean that he is FUNDAMENTAL more valuable than people who live in the jungle? Of course not!
ALL values depend on situations, and stressed searching for universal rules seems to be a sign of a big incompetence in managing the sometimes contradictory aspects in life. A satanist is more valuable because of his outstanding special abilities! Not because of the color of the impression of his outer shell!
It really seems to me that all this unrealistic racist stuff is just an desperated attempt to compensate big inner insecurity! Nothing more!
To look down on everybody with another color of skin, is as same stupid and arrogant and presumptuous as to look down on everybdy who belives in another religion. Besides actually THIS is a method of the RHP (Christianity, Islam, Judaism) and has NOTHING to do with modern satanism! The LHP actually defines itself through individuality and intelligence and NOT through brainless imitating of a leader and NOT through mindless overtaking of pseudo-racist propaganda, which actually was created to controll the stupid mass!
Conclusion:
The dark aspect of the "Third Reich", the idealization of the "strong" and the consequent annihilation of everybody who is "weak" or "less valuable" in conjunction with popular modern-secret-society-esoteric-romantic and the aspect of "might"... without doubt all this things have a big attraction and a big potential stimulating effect. But you have to keep in mind that you CAN'T interconnect this two totaly contradictory philosophies! But, and only if you are able to handle this obvious contradictorys, you can use the inspiring energy of this era for your personal magical work.
Remember: At that time almost EVERYONE who was capable in thinking and acting for him/herself, every free-thinker was persecuted or/and executed.......if you like this idea you are just a slave and maybe you should change to the RHP and stop trying inflitrating the satanic "scene" with your stupid right-wing-radicalism-propaganda-bullshit! Satanism is fundamental unpolitical and it will ever be, because CONVINCED EGOISM is totaly incompatible to EVERY thinkable form of government!
So: Either you idealize the stupid citizen without any rights, who is proud of beeing an "white aryan" Lemming and who would blindly follows his leader to death - or you choose the ideal of a strong and independent individual person, who creates his/her own way of life and becomes his/her very own leader! To choose both together is impossible and only the second option is a path which allows people who are (still) alive to follow their will with TRUE satanic pride in their heart!
