Practical Lessons from Satanic Philosophy, is an outline for implementing Satanic philosophy into one's daily life instead of viewing it as simply a misunderstood aesthetic.
The philosophy of Satanism has been viewed as an aesthetic (costume), rebellion (theatrical), and ritualistic fantasy by many people. The purpose of this book is to cut through that perception and present Satanism as a rational, self-directed applied philosophy based on self-interest, awareness of human nature, and responsibility, with no superstitions, worship, or theatrics involved.
If you have read articles about Satanic philosophy and found the ideas presented interesting, but were unsure of how to implement those ideas into your daily life, then this book was written for you. To live any idea you have to create a system of structure, discipline, and reflection, and this book will provide all of those things to you.
This book explores 13 core principles of Satanic philosophy, which can be applied in your day-to-day experiences. Each principle is explained clearly, and directly relates to your decision-making processes and behaviours.
What separates this book from others is the implementation portion of each principle. Each chapter contains practical exercises designed to develop your self-awareness and to improve your ability to make informed judgments. These exercises encourage you to evaluate patterns of behaviour, question your assumptions, and align your actions with your intentions, so you may test the ideas presented against your reality, as opposed to adopting them as beliefs.
This book does not attempt to alter the views of its critics or dilute its message. This book is for readers who value clarity, take personal responsibility, and expect results. You are free to accept the ideas presented within this book at your own discretion; you may find that some of the ideas presented will help you achieve your goals, while others may not.
Practical Lessons from Satanic Philosophy, would be of interest to anyone studying Applied Philosophy, individuals researching Satanic Thought, practising Satanists searching for practical structure, and anyone who prefers to examine their ideas rather than accepting myths.
If you are prepared to view Satanism as an applied philosophy of action and not as a caricature or an abstract concept, then this book must be included in your library.
