Satanism and You Tube Warriors





Ancient Church of God
Response to the Christians and Jews of Satanism!

I should have started this off with Atheist's but however they “slice it” I have never considered them Satanist's. To many of us, who have fought the great fight and actually started offline gatherings, and offline “brick and mortar” churches dedicated to Satanism, I am sure I will find agreeable readers.
Less than a couple of hundred years ago it was Christianity that actually kept Satanism back, and today it is the Satanist's themselves, involved in holding onto small snippets of people who they can convince to buy a “self-published” book to and bring hits to You Tube, in hopes of becoming an internet mogul, they will never become. So it has become fashionable for these newcomers to make a name for themselves and most of the time this becomes an obsession, and that obsession drives them to make videos that “spew” lies and malcontent which also causes people who are outsiders to avoid Satanism because they do not want to become the next victim of these people.

I can tell you this with complete confidence, that the same people who are attacking those who have been around for years, will always fail, and while they think “likes” or views make impact, they actually do not and I personally have been able to continue to move forward with membership and clergy for many years, and have manifested nothing but wealth and wisdom.
These same people are lost boys and girls, and I understand it takes a while to cultivate Occult Wisdom so much so these You Tube people are misguided not because they really want to be, but they dream of some success on different Social Media platforms by attacking those in real power over Satanism.
Satanism has become nothing short of Social Media Christianity in disguise, creating an air of inquisitions and malcontent that is causing people to actually seek other alternatives to being labeled or attacked. Its now mocked and laughed at by academia, so much so that its now actually a religion for teenagers and most of the “grown-ups” have stopped openly calling themselves Satanist's.

You can, of course, retaliate in words like “Just get out of Satanism!” Good plan! But I will be taking a huge membership with me those who seek the truth and can really manifest more than some You Tube video that “spews” hatred and discontent with those who are successful in Satanism, like our Church has become, all the while, people have been attacking us with “vile words” out of jealousy, that they themselves are mired in because of being unhappy in their little apartments or basements of their parents, where the only success they will ever have is thousands of meaningless hits or likes.

In the days ahead The Ancient Church of God will be leaving those behind, pursuing a new directional movement, that will be positive, for the religion and allow people to actually grow and gather again, and not live in fear, that some “mentally slow” person will create an attack video against them and they might have to answer questions from an employer. Remember people involved in Satanism today are no longer the elites, they are the low life people who have rooted themselves in small unorganized groups that are bound and determined to make life miserable just like theirs. I am as many people are sick of these people, who mostly are low hanging fruit, trying to steer a religion someplace it does not belong.

I can honestly say this that ninety percent of those who call themselves, everything from Satanists to Pagan's to Necromancers, to Warlocks are incorrectly using Christianity and Judaism to teach people Occult and Satanism. I see it every day from people like V.K. (a Christian Satanist). These people make up just a small percentage of people who are not practicing Satanism but Christianity or Judaism, pretending to teach the unsuspecting some form a magic they themselves cannot even master. I am not scared of these people, I actually could care less, but you should, since our Church is moving away from these people installing what I call a NO ABRAHAMIC form of Satanism, and since none of these people or the countless others who I failed to drop hints about understanding this they can now spend time attacking “one another” not me or my membership or clergy.

I am sure this will spawn a new set of videos, and I will respond with actions, not just words in the future when those will someday feel something or have something happen, not just promises, or magick or threats. I am also eliminating people from the Church and from my friend's lists that subscribe to these Christians and Judaic prophets who call themselves, Satanists.
I often find it funny how easy “SOME OF” you who call yourselves Satanists refuse historical truths and instead fall victim to the internet “like game” meanwhile calling other people sheep, while you are the biggest sheep I have ever seen.

People like I speak of thanks for providing me endless hours of entertaining dialogue, I will soon not miss I am not leaving but speaking about Satan from an academic approach and changing the name of the religion I practice to something easier to understand and moving our church away from the low life's in pursuit of positive movement forward.

I often laugh as uneducated “low hanging fruits” attack me or my wife, or our membership or clergy I can say this you will never match or manifest the things I have seen and done and I am satisfied with my Church. I see the critics call me a “fake doctor” because they said so, but I openly admit I did take my credits which came from Michigan State and other experiences and do an internet-based doctorate, but thousands of others have as well. But let us just take away that documentation and yet I still have a valid Masters Degree from Michigan State, so do not let the liars fool you, they so love to make shit up, just like how they teach you from their basements, and apartments.

I also am employed in a six-figure business and have been for years while many of these people are working for peanuts at some Dollar Store somewhere, but again that is not the issue, I have succeeded already and if my church closed I would be very happy to have experienced the things, they never will or could ever imagine. All meanwhile being something they could never imagine being a public Satanist and standing up despite this world be Christian controlled or Judaic controlled and making it.

So even today stories are made up of who I am or who my wife or membership or clergy are, meanwhile we move forward, meeting a whole new class of people, and you are still “stuck” talking to people I rejected and moved away from. This is nothing new and I have been involved in the bullshit by these people for decades and never once has it stopped me from speaking out for Satan. It never will and despite all the people who they convince via the internet that my wife or myself are bad people, or I scammed people, they themselves by using Christianity and Judaism in Satanism, by using demons and claiming magick that has not root in history, they are the scammers, and while calling yourself a Satanist does not make you one!

You can say, you cannot judge, those of us who know what words mean because we can read, and this is not a “likes game” for us, or a “pipe dream” will succeed, since we are offline. I and my wife and the people of the Ancient Church of God can travel, and hold meetings while these people on You Tube continue to dream of the perfect world in Satanism, something that will never occur, since Religion take leadership and that is earned not claimed.

My wife and I and other members of clergy and membership have met thousands of people over the years attended hundreds of gatherings, while many of you have done nothing but make videos chasing nothing but notoriety that will never come to you, since you are online, I am offline, and I know that makes people jealous, but I know the names, the historical truths, and I can provide this readily to anyone who desires to move ahead. I have never created something as a book, I will someday but not for Satanism, but for something better more historical in constructed form. Free from the lies of the Occult and free from people like the ones that play in Christianity or Judaism, and attack those in Satanism like some Pope bent on starting another Inquisition.

Usage of much symbolical demons or names thereof is expected but failed to read the historical truths make you again nothing short of playing Satanist. I started out a Modern Satanist and had no belief, but there are people who have decided to play dress up as well. Modern Satanism is about being your own God and please leave this Theist out of that mess. I have been attacked by those people as well as my wife and membership and clergy, I am not sure why these people who do not believe in Satan are so worried about those of us who do. I think it is boring over there so they come over to attack us, since Satanism has been so discolored and deconstructed by people like the Satanic Temple.

This of course will piss off a lot of people, at this point who care the religion I as many of you call Satanism is long gone, with the internet its a daily routine of someone attacking someone, or making a bad YouTube video pretending to be a new reporter or creating some fake Christian or Jewish informational video on some “self-published” book. I see no real creativity or content I see a new emerging “Witch Hunt” and a new “Satanic Panic” all forming not offline like it did years and years ago but online. Sad but it will change offline is still offline, and these people attacking us the off liners will be still making videos while we gather and meet people to discuss Satan free from them, something they truly hate.

Beware most Satanists are rooted in Christianity or Judaism do some reading and those people are revealed!

Coming Soon Change!

Absurd Atheism Church of Satan and Peter Gilmore




Press Release Re Peter Gilmore and the Church of Satan
Atheist and Theism in Satanism.
July 17th, 2019


Atheist and Fake Satanist Peter Gilmore, now at the helm of the Church of Satan recently released an embarrassing statement, and one of the eight founders of the Theistic Satanic Church called the Ancient Church of God Dr. Tom Erik Raspotnik responded. Peter Gilmore was asked about Satan in a recent interview (posted below).

A large portion of Satanists around the globe still believe in Satan as an anthropomorphic being and identify as theistic Satanists. Do you actively try to convince them otherwise?

We do not accept those who believe in Satan as being Satanists, regardless of what they call themselves. Christians supposedly believe in Satan, but the subset of Satan’s believers—essentially heretical Christians—who worship him are not very large from what I’ve seen. From my observations over decades the amount of people who self-identify as “theistic Satanists” is a small one. To us, the term “theistic Satanism” is an oxymoron, since we defined Satanism for the first time in history as a coherent philosophy and it is atheist. “Devil worship” or “demonolatry” is the more accurate term for such theistic people. Just as we wouldn’t try to teach a pig to sing, we don’t try to alter the thoughts of such persons—it would waste our time and annoy those who are comfortable living in their illogical fantasies. Peter Gilmore

Dr Tom Erik Raspotnik followed with his own statement: “Theistic Satanist's really felt that playing dress up to Satan serves no purpose, except maybe to celebrate the commercial version of Halloween.”
I would also point out that Atheism would not exist without Theism!” No worries Mr. Gilmore who we understand is a “low life” could never understand how Satan has manifested so much for so many!”
I must say I think more and more people are learning to accept Satan as a deity and even at an academic level, many are researching the path.
Anton La Vey did great things to make Atheism great but Atheists are most often enemies to those of us, who have faith in Satan and are as bad as any Christian.”
Peter Gilmore is nothing to Satanism, at least Anton L aVey actually conversed with people and had dialogue Peter Gilmore is afraid of his “own shadow” and is a shame to Atheism. The Church of Satan did not invent Satanism it was invented thousands of years ago!
Thank You
Dr. Tom Erik Raspotnik

Hail Satan, Hail Ningishzida!

Theistic Satanism becomes a Recognized World Religion



PRESS RELEASE
Ancient Church of God presents: Theistic Satanism

After many years, of people arguing over Theistic Satanism, The Ancient Church of God has completed several cornerstones to a reformation of Theistic Satanism.

The Ancient Church of God also has researched and found no tenets existed prior to the foundation of this date June 1 2018, so in drafting such The Ancient Church of God is considered the first founding church dedicated to Theistic Satanism as a religion.

As in this foundation, The Ancient Church of God embarks on a new mission to bring Theistic Satanism into equality with other World Religions. While many laws and rulings extend complete and defined creation and extend the freedom of speech on religious issues, no religion is complete without a guidance mechanism in place, this guidance is formalized tenets and a board and church, temple, or lodge locations.

Also, it is not our goal to dictate the religion but provide betterment, and more of a positive guide to the religion in the public eye.

Too long have people battered around versions which are unrelated to Satan or Theistic Satanism, this has now ended and as we seek recognition by others worldwide with the issuance of truths, not of one man or woman but a large group of contributors.

In order to accomplish this a complete and legal structure is placed. We are not going into the structures involved in this press release but will state we are moving ahead with involvement in providing Theistic Satanism the needed recognition it deserves, not only in the United States but elsewhere.

While religions are granted a wide berth of freedoms in the United States it is seldom that they are taken seriously or granted holidays, or certain freedoms and or protections of their core.

Often times people are singled out by legislation at a state or local level which affects their personal lives. These judgment calls are often legislated by people, not the public because of their own belief sets. Examples include persecution for being a Theistic Satanist by local relief agencies and or family organizations.

In the United States people are free to believe in Satan and all his many versions, however definitive tenets in place separates a “cult” , or an “organization”, “or a person who is rogue from a religion”. We in this press release are only speaking about Theistic Satanism.

The Ancient Church of God revealed that two individuals used the terminology first one was Dorothy Nixon and the other was Tom Erik Raspotnik dating in studies back to 1990 in which these two individuals are somewhat both credited with use. However, neither individuals codified the terminology by issuing tenets to Theistic Satanism.

So why today? With so many religions worldwide The Ancient Church of God has decided it can watch as people destroy the religion or we can improve upon the religion. There are people who will fight this of course. The religion of Theistic Satanism has goals to separate our truths and accomplish definitive goals. Theistic Satanism is hereby established June 1 2018 by the Ancient Church of God and its Board.

The Ancient Church of God proud in keeping with our founding tradition to announce our first religious holiday for Theistic Satanism NISAN is considered by Theistic Satanism to be the New Year, based on the day and night being equal or in the Spring or in March on around the 20th .
The NISAN is followed by 11 days of personal celebration.

The first national meeting of Theistic Satanism is scheduled for 2019 and is planned for Colorado Springs Colorado. Other projects include renovations to its church structure located in Michigan and have pending land acquisition offers in place. In the future, The Ancient Church of God has planned the first ever burial site for Theistic Satanists.

Our planned structure to be built in Michigan on Church Owned Property. 



Thank you

LUGH and LUCIFER



 Lugh - Lucifer Composed by Cindy Fleming – Raspotnik One more note to stir it - I never said that I didn't believe in "Lucifer"...It's just not in the way everyone else in the occult wants me to. "Lucifer" is a Christian corruption of Lugh, Champion of the Tuatha De Danaan, He who held the Spear, forged of the finest wood (Yew) which flew through the air (the East). 

The Sword was originally in the position of the south as it was forged by fire. These two were changed in the 12th century until recently when the truth came out. The spear of victory was also referred to as the spear of destiny. I adore Lugh (Lu) as himself – uncorrupted by the Holy Roman Empire...which fed the Christian religion - and the Pagan Lugh in origin fit the bad guy narrative as Paganism was “Satan” or the opposition of the Church..I will Never knowingly bow to a Christian construct to suit anyone.

 I do however understand that most who are now in the occult do venerate the corrupt version because they don't understand how these thieves took it, along with many other traditions of Paganism. First lets look at Lugh. Who is he? Lugh's father is Cian of Tuatha De Danann (the people f Anu) and his mother is Ethniu, daughter of Balor, of the Fomorians.

 He was also the foster son of the sea deity Manannán mac Lir Lugh and Lucifer - their names have the same root names. Words containing Lu, as in the word Lugh itself, or lo or le, have appeared for millennia always meaning light or sun or sun god. Luwian Apaliunas, Hurrian Aplu, Etruscan Apulu, Homeric Greek: Ἀπόλλων, that is λω, Latin Apollo.

 The form Apaliunas (]x-ap-pa-li-u-na-aš) is attested as a god of Wilusa in a treaty between Alaksandu of Wilusa interpreted as "Alexander of Ilios", and the Hittite great king Muwatalli II ca. 1280 BC. Luwian is closely related to Hittite, and was among the languages spoken during the second and first millennia BC by population groups in central Anatolia, Anatol ia (from Greek Aνατολή Anatolē—"East"; also Asia Minor. 

When the Illyrians migrated to Italy and founded Luceria in Apulia, a temple to Minerva was built. Minerva is the Etruscan and Roman equivalent of Athena. The arms (armament and weapons) of Diomedes given to him by Athena in the Trojan War were said to be were preserved in her temple. The Lusitanians (or Lusitani in Latin) were an Indo-European people living in the Western Iberian Peninsula Endovelicus was the most important God.

 António da Visitação Freire classified the name of "Endovelicus" as a mixed Celtic and Phoenician name, adapted to the Roman language. The "end-" radical would be from Celtic languages, "bel" (or "vel-") would be Phoenician for "lord", and "-cus" is a usual word termination in Latin. The name would suggest Bal, Bel, or Vel, the god Belenus (also Belenos) was a deity worshipped in Gaul, Britain, and Celtic areas of Austria and Spain. In the Roman period Belenus was identified with Apollo. Belisama has been claimed to be the consort of Belenus and she was identified with Minerva/Athena.

 It would seem that the word Lugh is related to every Indo-European language word meaning light. Lugh's mastery of all arts has led many to link him with the Gaulish god Lugus, Julius Caesar wrote much on this Deity, whom he identifies with Roman Mercury whom he describes as the "inventor of all the arts".Caesar describes Lugh, (Mercury Roman, Greek Hermes, Egyptian Thoth) as the most revered deity in Gaul, overseeing journeys and business transactions.

 Juliette Wood interprets Lugh's name as deriving from the Celtic root *lugios, "oath", and the Irish word Lugh connotes ideas of "blasphemy, cursing, lies, bond, joint, binding oath", which strengthens the identification with Mercury, who was, among other attributes, a god of contracts. Early Germanic peoples who later became the pagan Visigoths (followed the pagan Arian or Aryan ideals) referred to the Tuatha De Danaan as “Fallen Angels”, those who fell from the sky. . Colonia Copia Claudia Augusta Lugdunum (today is Lyon, France) was an important Roman city in Gaul.

 The city was founded in 43 BC by Lucius Munatius Plancus. It served as the capital of the Roman Province of Gallia Lugdunensis and was an important city in the western half of the Roman Empire for centuries. Two emperors,Claaudius and Caracalla, were born in Lugdunum.

 In the time period 69–192 AD the city population could be as large as 50,000 to 100,000. Even figures of up to 200,000 people are proposed by Albert Grenier. The original Roman city was situated west of the confluence of the Rhone and Saône, on the Fourviere heights. By the late centuries of the empire much of the population was located in the Saône River valley at the foot of Fourvière. 

The Roman city was founded as Colonia Copia Felix Munatia, a name invoking prosperity and the blessing of the gods. The city became increasingly referred to as Lugdunum (and occasionally Lugudunum) by the end of the 1st century AD. During the Middle Ages, Lugdunum was transformed to Lyon by natural sound change. Lugdunum is a Latinization of the Gaulish Lugudunon, meaning "Fortress (or hill) of (the god) Lugus" or, alternately "Fortress of the champion" (if lugus is a common noun cognate with Old Irish lug "warrior, hero, fighter"). The Celtic god Lugus was apparently popular in Ireland and Britain as is found in Medieval Irish Literature as Lug(h) and in medieval Welsh Literature as Lleu (also spelled Llew). 

According to Pseudo-Plutarch, Lugdunum takes its name from an otherwise unattested Gaulish word lugos, that he says means "raven" (κόρακα), and the Gaulish word for an eminence or high ground (τοπον έξέχοντα), dunon.

 An early folk stories of Gaulish Lugduno as "Desired Mountain" is recorded in a gloss in the 9th-century Endlicher's Glossary, but this may in fact reflect a native Frankish speaker's attempt at linking the first element of the name,Lugu - (which, by the time this gloss was composed, would have been pronounced lu'u, the -g- having become silent) with the similar-sounding Germanic word for "love", luβ. Another early medieval folk-etymology of the name, found in gloss on the Latin poet Juvenal, connects the element Lugu- to the Latin word for "light", lux (luci- in compounds) and translates the name as "Shining Hill" (lucidus mons) After the First Council of Nicaea there were other counsels that met in the early formulation of the Christian religion. First Council of Nicaea (325) First Council of Constantinople (381) First Council of Ephesus (431) Council of Chalcedon (451) Second Council of Constantinople (553) Third Council of Constantinople (680–681) Second Council of Nicaea (787) St Jerome was the the one who added the name “Lucifer” to replace the name “Satan” in 3 area's of the Christian bible.

 St Jerome was born Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus was born around 347 A.D. He was of Illyrian ancestry and his native tongue was the Illyrian dialect As a student in Rome, he engaged in the superficial escapades and homosexual behavior and lude sex acts of students there, which he indulged in quite casually , along with his many visits with willing females but for which he suffered terrible bouts of guilt afterwards. To appease his conscience, he would visit on Sundays the sepulchers of the martyrs and the Apostles in the catacombs. 

As a student in Rome, he engaged in the superficial escapades and homosexual behavior of students there, which he indulged in quite casually but for which he suffered terrible bouts of guilt afterwards. To appease his conscience, he would visit on Sundays the sepulchers of the martyrs and the Apostles in the catacombs. Leaving Rome is his early twenties he traveled to Gaul. As a young man, Jerome did not easily forget the delights of Rome and found himself homesick for a world of thought, study and discussion. However, he had a deep spiritual experience in a dream and was accused of being a “Ciceronian, not a Christian”. 

Since his solitude was disrupted by quarreling monks, he returned to Antioch in 378 where he heard Apollinaris the Younger speak. This experience influenced him to become a priest, but he remained free of a diocese. He returned to Rome after 12 years of living as somewhat of a hermit in Gaul. He was exposed to the legends of Pagan god Lugh who was still beloved of the people of Gaul during his stay in Gaul. All of his delights were accepted by the pagan way of life.

 Jerome wrote about a man named Lucifer (of Caliari) who is he? Lucifer (of Cagliari) first appears in history as an envoy from Pope Liberius to the Emperor Constantius II, requesting the convening of a church council. At the Council of Milan in 355, he defended Athanasius of Alexandria against Arian/Aryan attempts to secure his condemnation by Western bishops. It was reported that Constantius II, a supporter of Arian theology, confined Lucifer for three days in the Imperial Palace, where Lucifer continued to argue vehemently on behalf of Athanasius. 

Along with Eusebius of Vercelli and Dionysius of Milan, Lucifer was exiled for his opposition to the imperial ecclesiastical policy, which opposed the Nicaea creed. He was banished first to Germanicia, the see of Bishop Eudoxius, thereafter to Palestine and finally to the Thebaisin Egypt. While in exile, he wrote fiery pamphlets to the Emperor in which he proclaimed himself to be ready to suffer martyrdom for his beliefs. After the death of Constantius and the accession of Julian the Apostate, Lucifer and other expatriated bishops were allowed to return from exile in 361 or 362. 

However, he would not be reconciled to former Arians. He opposed the Bishop Meletius, who came to accept the Nicene Creed (and for that was driven out by Arians). Although Meletius had the support of many proponents of Nicene theology at Antioch, Lucifer put his support behind the Eustathian party which had unflinchingly stood by the Nicene Creed, and prolonged the schism between Meletians and Eustathians by consecrating without licence a Eustathian, Paulinus, as bishop. He subsequently returned to Cagliari where, according to Jerome, he died in 370. 

He may have been excommunicated as is hinted in the writings of Ambrose of Milan and Augustine of Hippo, as well as Jerome, who refers to his followers as Luciferians. There is extant a work known as Libellus precum, which was written by two Luciferian clergy called Faustinus and Marcellinus. Jerome discusses Lucifer and his supporters in his polemic Altercatio Luciferiani et orthodoxi ("Altercation of a Luciferian and an Orthodox"), as well as describing the bishop's career in De Viris Illustribus. All in all St Jerome was extremely influenced by pagan god and a man named Lucifer (of Cagliari) who was in opposition of the ideals of the Nicaea creed and who upheld the Arian's or Pagans of the time. It becomes easy to see where the formula of a beloved pagan god Lugh and the pagan accepting of the delights of a guilt-riddled man and a cult which was in opposition lead by a human man named Lucifer becomes advocacy to the early Christian religion. 

Jerome could never overcome his own guilt, but the indulgences and delights of the pagans and their Deity Lugh made it easy, but still Jerome seen himself as “fallen” from grace. The inner conflict of a man set the course of an advocacy the world to this day still uses. In the end question becomes, who are today's Luciferian's actually worshiping? Is it the corrupted version of Lugh or is a human man name Lucifer who started a cult who did worship the pagan god Lugh – or a combination of both as Jerome was influenced by both and he was the one who first added the name “Lucifer” to the Christian bible.

Having Doubts About Satan ?



Doubting Satan or Ningishzida
Ancient Church of God Founders of Theistic Satanism


Insecurities about your faith? This person wrote us and I wanted to share some of this! “I feel as if I need something more tangible, something I can see, touch and understand. And I don't know anyone who has had these same feelings. How can I get rid of these doubts?”
You are definitely not alone. Maybe you're just more open and honest about your feelings than a lot of people you know. In fact, I would say that most Ningishzida or Satan followers have at one time or another struggled with doubts. I know sincere Theistic Satanists who have been believers for years and still struggle, some even every day!
Doubting your faith is not necessarily a bad thing, either. In fact, it can lead to spiritual growth and maturity. It can be a time when you move from your family's faith to actually own your beliefs in a deep and real way.
So don't be too hard on yourself for having doubts. Still, I would encourage you to try to figure out where your doubts are coming from. As I understand it, there are usually two basic reasons people doubt:
  1. Intellectual questions. In this case, people's doubts come from questions about what's true and what's logical. People who have intellectual doubts often have questions like these:
    "Why should I believe the Ancient Church of God words is inspired by the God?" "How is Theistic Satanism different from any other religions?" "Why isn't evolution true?"
When I was younger, I had a difficult time understanding the concept of Ningishzida's resurrection.
I took time to read, study and listen to experts on the topic. Today, I believe there are intellectual, historical and scientific reasons to believe that Ningishzida or Satan really did rise from the dead. The hours I spent studying and researching were well worth my time.
If you have intellectual doubts, I encourage you to search for answers. A great place to start would be Samuel Noah Kramer's The Sumerians. Followed by our PDF Who is Ningishzida by Tom Erik Raspotnik. Or the many PDF offerings of the Ancient Church of God.
2)Emotional questions. These questions often come from hurt or grief. The emotional doubter may actually ask questions that are similar to those asked by the intellectual doubter: "Why does Ningishzida or Satan allow suffering?" "How could a loving God send someone to the Kur for not being a Theistic Satanist."
"Why are people born with disabilities?" The difference is that emotional doubters are not easily satisfied with intellectual answers. Why? Because their problem is not intellectual. It's usually about their wounded feelings.
Emotional doubters don't need "answers" as much as they need God's love and comfort. They often need a shoulder to cry on and someone to listen to them.
If you are doubting because of hurt in your life, I'd encourage you to find a mature, caring Theistic Satanist who is a good listener.
In fact, I'd encourage you to look for someone who can help you during this time of doubting—whatever the cause of your doubts may be. Is there a mature Theistic Satanist in your life you can confide in?
This would be the type of person who would take your questions seriously, and who wouldn't belittle you or scold you because you're questioning your faith. Again, I stress mature.

Confide in those who provide truth avoid those who are not able to manifest greatness in their own lives, and lean on positive people of Theistic Satanism!

Simple Meditation For Ningishzida



Meditation was practiced by our ancestors and was often talked about in Sumerian texts, but the methodology is often not talked about. Meditation is one of those things that we all want to do, but for a lot of us, the chatter of our busy minds can make sitting down to meditate an exercise in frustration rather than relaxation. Here are 5 awesome meditation techniques we’ve compiled overall that can help you get started:

Meditation Technique #1: Breathing Meditation

This is one of the best meditation techniques, Ancient, powerful and effective, by simply watching your breath, you give your mind something to focus on in a relaxed way.
Get yourself in a comfortable position, close your eyes and begin to observe the sensations of breathing. Pay attention to how it feels as you draw air in through your nose, down into your lungs and back out again through your mouth. You don’t need to control or force your breathing in any way. Just watch. If your mind wanders — and it will — don’t worry or criticize yourself, this is normal in the beginning. Gently bring your attention back to your breathing and continue.

Meditation Technique #2: Mindfulness Meditation

This type of meditation allows you to be fully present in the moment by bringing your attention to the sensations within your body. Start by focusing on your breath then allow yourself to become aware of other sensations — how you’re sitting, where you feel tension or tingling or ease. The goal here is to become a neutral observer. Try not to analyze or judge anything you experience or any thought that passes through your mind. Simply observe.

Meditation Technique #3: Mantra “stylized” Meditation

The ancient Sanskrit word, “aum” is a mystical syllable often used in chants or as a meditative mantra. By repeating a sacred word or meaningful phrase (including short affirmations) you can bring your mind to a state of focused tranquility. You can say the mantra aloud or repeat it silently. You can also supplement Sumerian or Babylonian chants single words like EBUUUUUUUU (long version).

Meditation Technique #4: Walking Meditation

If sitting still for too long makes you squirm, try the walking meditation technique. You can do this just about anywhere, although a garden or other pleasing environment is ideal. Simply focus on your body as it moves: your arms as they swing, your legs as they lift and extend, your feet as they rise and touch the ground. As with all meditation techniques, when you find your mind wandering, gently bring your attention back to the movement. Try not to judge, just observe the sensation of walking.

Meditation Technique #5: Empty Mind Meditation

This meditation technique allows you to be aware without any specific focus. Simply sit quietly with your eyes closed and allow thoughts to float freely in and out of your mind. As they come and go, observe them without judgment or attachment.
These meditation techniques are simple enough to start your meditation practice or enhance your existing one. We’d love to know what other meditation techniques you use at home or in your classes, so comment below! I have often sat back and thought about white walls, white carpet and a bright white lamp. It is hard to process this but effective to clear your mind.

So take on the day, Celebrating with Ningishzida or Satan afterward, in the commune or in brief rituals always will strengthen your faith!

Satan IS Lucifer But ONLY on Social Media!


Foolhardy in Satanism
Ancient Church of God

Every day on Social Media, this topic comes up, and time and time again I see people who can't seem to read historical studies enough to provide this answer, and the minute you correct them they circle you and explain things its all based on one's perception, this is as far from the truth as you can ever be!
Who is Satan or is he Lucifer?
Well, I am embarrassed to see people calling themselves Theistic Satanist's answer this question as the same person, and Satan would be embarrassed as you call him a “Fallen Angel!” or a Christian Leader!
Please, people there are multiple resources out there to explore the differences. I sometimes think these people are trying to scam people, or they are the people that just like things and never read them fully, or they are “high school” dropouts! I am glad I have surrounded myself with people who know Lucifer was created by Christianity and Satan was rooted in Hebrew Lore, and Lucifer never appears in any book written by the Hebrews.
I repeat no Hebrew explains Lucifer, and you can dust off all the books that are written by self-publishers you want and they are wrong! Calling Satan, Lucifer is like calling Leviathan a female who had sex with Satan!
People are not devoted enough to the path, and worse yet they are teaching new people, their ignorant information. I am beginning to think its a shame it is not thousands of years ago so we could just plain march all these Lucifer Lovers to a cliff, and shove them off! And this playground mentality displayed when you correct them is nothing short of self-victimization!
I can say these people are taught incorrectly, and yes you can change to make it better, without “safe spaces!” YOU CAN READ! But select the historical authors instead of the New Age Authors, who seem to want to write and dream of Bentley's and Red Carpet, neither will they ever see!
I managed to gather over twenty titles and am going to have my own “Book Burning!”
I am going to disgrace Lucifer in the Name of Satan! Why because I can and I am going to keep buying books about Lucifer burning them in disrespect, not to the fictitious Lucifer and I mean fictitious God, so many like to keep bringing up like some Reddit Troll gone crazy!
I guess I should also expect, that some people can't let go of the Christianity, and can't seem to read, or perhaps they are just plain low I.Q.?
Again nowhere in Hebrew Ancient Literature does Lucifer connect to Satan!
They are so separate God actually speaks to Satan in Hebrew Literature, he never speaks to Satan whatsoever, so what makes you think they are friends, I have even seen literature which reeks of pornography speak of Satan and Lucifer having a good old “gang-bang!”
The ignorance is oozing off these people who are telling people they are the same, and I would as a prospective member of any group or organization question, why is the leader of the group even selling this, unless its to bring in membership to scam them, or sell them more false books!
Every so often groups form in unification processes that fail rather quickly embracing Satan and the Lucifer as the same and to be honest they are nothing more than an effort to gather people who are ill-educated since all people who have any formalized education on the Occult or Satanism, know this simple fact that Lucifer was a Christian Construct and Satan was Hebrew, I also marvel at the people who attempt to explain their way out of this.
Exposing foolishness makes people very angry and once exposed it seems they are far to embarrassed to admit they are wrong and make a statement to their membership, of such a mistake! We currently see this where one person has created a church that claims Tiamat is Satan, and historical data proves them very wrong, and they continue to “spin” over and over because they said Satan is a Female! We know simply by researched historical data, that Tiamat was female and had zero to do with anything Satan even this goes as far, as acceptance of Tiamat as a Goddess would also accept the stories of her, and she was killed by Marduk the Son of Enki, and I did not make this up, for those laughing reading this.
Someone again was educated wrong, the same people who are teaching people wrong are ganging up on those of us, who researched and who read historical data, including many texts easily researched by looking up them on Wikipedia, or using a University Database.

And do not tell them they are wrong, acting like a fourth grader, they “spin” and attack those people who are trying to help them! This is because you are changing peoples minds in the Cult Group they are forming or have formed!

I also have seen these same people make grandiose claims where they operate offline talking about the falsehoods, they write on Social Media when in truth none of them have churches beyond some tiny and dank apartments somewhere in rural America. These people will fight the hardest, since they cannot meet people, and discuss the truths and the academics are out their league to even talk too.

Satan is not Lucifer!
I would love to debate this with anyone!
Thanks!

Tiamat the Dead God in Theistic Satanism


It has been said when you have an enemy tell them the stories that mislead them like the stories once told to the apartment dweller, (name withheld) and his apartment church in Massachusetts. But first it was Levithan, now they call Satan a Woman like Tiamat!

In the past, he has "came back" with lies and deceit, even claiming that the Ancient Church of God was in a trailer, one of our founding board members, does rent a double wide, and it resides in a luxurious park in a better part of Michigan, but they are not alone in the Ancient Church of God, three members own their own homes which exceed three hundred thousand and three other board members rent either a townhouse or condominium or a double-wide in a trailer park and any of these choices are still better than an upstairs cramped apartment in a small town.

I watched him flail around and around in his attempt to tell people Satan is a Female Dragon, and then he changed it back to Leviathan and then to Tiamat. Again how did Satan become a Female?

So I did some more digging in this. Just to show the public how wrong the SELF PROCLAIMED (a Christian Term) Pope of Theistic Satanism is and of course, his title alone would make you run away, let alone remember he is a Doctor and a Reverend and the Leader of Theistic Satanism, and on Disability, and never owned a car or home, and yet he spent thousands according to him on his church when he gets under a thousand disability and probably gets food stamps. All Board Members of the Ancient Church of God are employed in some form, not receiving Social Security Disability.

Oh, did we forget to mention his disability is from mental illness, while anyone can own a church, his tactic has been of late to copy everything the Ancient Church of God does, and dispute it despite our quality of membership, which includes several people employed in the field of Sumerian Research.

And did we mention, he wrote a couple self-published books, which more and likely sold less than fifty copies overall, reading both in raw forms from his former co-founder they exhibit nothing more than rituals to jerk off in a bathtub and some horrible spelling errors making them barely readable.

We still give him a C minus for effort, and for a vision to write something despite comedic in nature, and error-filled history, that he keeps explaining in vain over and over again to his ring of uneducated who follow this "high school drop out" around oh did we tell you he has over twenty screennames to like his own stuff.

But back to Tiamat, she is dead, as this person wants to use this name to found a church dedicated in Theistic Satanism, and I mean loosely he is free too, but to pick a female, and then she was killed in what should sound the alarms to most in Satanism.

When will these people who never study finally get those facts straight Satanism has nothing to do with jerking off in the tub and burning some candles and calling males females!

Ancient Snake Worship of the Hebrews






Nehushtan

Moses lifts up the brass snake, curing the Israelites of snakebites. Hezekiah called the snake 'Nehushtan'.
In the biblical Book of Numbers, the Nehushtan (or Nohestan) (Hebrew: נחושתן or נחש הנחושת) was a bronze serpent on a pole which God told Moses to erect to protect the Israelites who saw it from dying from the bites [1] of the "fiery serpents" which God had sent to punish them for speaking against God and Moses.
King Hezekiah later instituted a religious iconoclastic reform and destroyed "the brazen serpent that Moses had made; for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it; [it was called|and he called it] Nehushtan".

Tiamat is a personification of the primordial sea from which the gods were first created. She is also the main adversary of Marduk in the Enūma Eliš

To examine this fully, we will lean on several experts in the Sumerian Field as in Robert Wynter U of Pennsylvania who holds both a Masters in Philology and a Masters in Archeology. (pen name used).

FURTHER READING


Written forms: dti-amat, ti-amat, dtam-tum, ti-àm-tim, ta-à-wa-ti
Normalised forms: Tiamat, Tiāmat, Tiʼamat, Thalatta (Greek).

I was once confused by the belief in the Dragon named Tiamat, and simple examination of the facts provided a important reveal and her important role but not a role which could be included in a curriculum which could or would include Satan or Theistic Satanism. In formulating a religion around this character in Babylon would produce the religion creating a “Cult Church” and not a credible religion tied to Theistic Satanism but more a Sumerian Religion.

Name and Spellings

The name Tiamat is un-contracted form of the word tâmtu, meaning "sea". The long vowel â is contracted from the short vowels I and a.
The word is in the "absolute state," a noun form that is equivalent to the vocative (a grammatical case which directly invokes or addresses a person or deity; literally the name means "O, sea!").

Tiamat's exact functions as a goddess are difficult to establish.
As her name indicates (see below), she was a deification of the primordial sea. Our best source of information for Tiamat is the myth Enūma Eliš TT , and in fact, there are only a handful of references to her outside of it. Making her name suspect as to only part of Babylonian Teachings.

Enūma Eliš TT begins with a description of the two primeval seas, the salt sea Tiamat and the sweet sea Abzu TT , mingling their waters together to create the gods (for recent translations of the story see Foster 2005: 436-486 and Lambert 2013).

In the following battle between Abzu TT and Ea, Tiamat attempts to appease Abzu TT and stop the conflict.
But when she is later pressured by the lower gods to revenge him, she herself becomes the main antagonist of the story, creating an army of monsters led by her new consort, Qingu. She is ultimately defeated by Marduk, who incapacitates her with his "Evil Wind" and then kills her with an arrow. Marduk splits her in two, creating heaven and earth from her body, the Tigris and Euphrates from her eyes, mist from her spittle, mountains from her breasts and so on. While an interesting story indeed, this story is not much older than Early Akad where a distinct other story comes into play with Marduk the Son of Enki not playing a part in human creation.

An interesting story indeed and historically relevant it does not supersede a system of origins and beliefs, there are people out there in the Occult who often try to frame this story as being of Leviathan which is also a separate Hebrew construct. But in today's world people even worship a God called the Flying Spaghetti Monster in jest so I am sure people can call Satan whatever despite being highly inaccurate in historical references.

Throughout the epic, there are differing descriptions of Tiamat: she appears both as a body of water, as a human figure, and as having a tail (Tablet V, line 59). These varying descriptions are ultimately reconciled as Marduk turns her limbs into geographical features.
A great version of a creation tale, however it is preceded by an more accurate tale from thousands of years prior during the Ubaid Period.

Divine Genealogy and Syncretisms

In Enūma Eliš TT , Tiamat is the mother of all the gods (Tablet I, line 4). Together with Abzu TT she creates Lahmu and Lahamu, who in turn beget Anšar and Kišar. While acknowledged as a Creator God, there are stories which predate this connection.
Though one cannot point to a syncretism as such, there are several models for Tiamat in the earlier mythology.

Katz (2011: 18f) argues that the figure of Tiamat unites two strands of tradition attached to the sea. The first is the motherly figure of Namma, who is also referred to as a primeval ocean from which the gods were created.

There was no cult or even temple complex or religion dedicated directly to Tiamat, but the battle between Tiamat and Marduk played an important role in the New Year's festival TT in Babylon. The Enūma Eliš TT was recited on its fourth day, and some argue that the festival included a symbolic reenactment of the mythological battle (see the discussion in Lambert 2013: 461f).

The oldest attestation of Tiamat is an Old Akkadian incantation (Westenholz 1974: 102), though there are few other references to her until the first millenium BCE (see Lambert 2013: 237). After the composition of the Enūma Eliš TT , Tiamat is found in a number of theological commentary works, but the largest body of evidence of these seem to rely on the epic (e.g. SAA 3.39, r. 1-3). Tiamat is also mentioned by Berossus, writing in the 3rd century BCE (Breucker 2011: 648f). But no Sumerian text origins exist.



The other is the figure of the sea as a monstrous adversary, like the Levantine god Yamm (see also Jacobsen 1968: 107). Another important influence for the figure of Tiamat is Anzu, a mythical bird defeated by Ninurta, indeed the battle between Marduk and Tiamat has a number of parallels to the battle between Ninurta and Anzu (Lambert 1986).

Going backwards to Levantine or Leviathan again is suspect directional as one is a male, and Tiamat is distinctly a female, did some God perform a sex change? We know Sumerian as a language has both male and female dialects that rise from the different dialects at the time period. But lets examine Levantine from the Jewish Dictionary references.
a person who lives in or comes from the Levant, making this a suspect connection, so lets try the Jewish Dictionary for Leviathan.

RESULTS
Names of gigantic beasts or monsters described in Job xl. The former is from a root denoting "coil," "twist"; the latter is the plural form of "behemah"="beast."

SOURCED


Ever since Bochart ("Hierozoicon," iii. 705), "behemoth" has been taken to denote the hippopotamus; and Jablonski, to make it correspond exactly with that animal, compared an Egyptian form, "p-ehe-mu" (= "water-ox"), which, however, does not exist. The Biblical description contains mythical elements, and the conclusion is justified that these monsters were not real, though the hippopotamus may have furnished in the main the data for the description.

Only of a unique being, and not of a common hippopotamus, could the words of Job xl. 19 have been used: "He is the first [A. V. "chief"] of the ways of God [comp. Prov. viii. 22]; he that made him maketh sport with him" (as the Septuagint reads, πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαιζέσΘαι; A. V. "He that made him can make his sword to approach unto him"; comp. Ps. civ. 26); or "The mountains bring him forth food; where all the beasts of the field do play" (Job xl. 20).

Obviously behemoth is represented as the primeval beast, the king of all the animals of the dry land, while leviathan is the king of all those of the water, both alike unconquerable by man (ib. xl. 14, xli. 17-26). Gunkel ("Schöpfung und Chaos," p. 62) suggests that behemoth and leviathan were the two primeval monsters corresponding to Tiamat (= "the abyss"; comp. Hebr. "tehom") and Kingu (= Aramaic "'akna" = serpent") of Babylonian mythology. Some commentators find also in Isa. xxx. 6 ("bahamot negeb" = "beasts of the south") a reference to the hippopotamus; others again, in Ps. lxxiii. 22 ("I am as behemoth [="beasts"; A. V. "a beast"] before thee"); but neither interpretation has a substantial foundation.

It is likely that the leviathan and the behemoth were originally referred to in Hab. ii. 15: "the destruction of the behemoth [A. V. "beasts"] shall make them afraid" (comp. LXX., "thee" instead of "them").

Symbolical Interpretation.
These haggadot concerning the leviathan are interpreted as allegories by all the commentators with the exception of some ultraconservatives like Baḥya ben Asher ("Shulḥan Arba'," ch. iv., p. 9, col. 3).

According to Maimonides, the banquet is an allusion to the spiritual enjoyment of the intellect (commentary on Sanh. i.).

The name, he says, is derived from   (" to join," "to unite"), and designates an imaginary monster in which are combined the most various animals ("Moreh," iii., ch. xxiii.). In the cabalistic literature the "piercing leviathan" and the "crooked leviathan" (Isa. xxvii. 1), upon which the haggadah concerning the hunting of the animal is based, are interpreted as referring to Satan-Samael and his spouse Lilith ("'Emeḳ ha-Melek," p. 130a), while Ḳimḥi, Abravanel, and others consider the expressions to be allusions to the destruction of the powers which are hostile to the Jews (comp. Manasseh ben Israel, "Nishmat Ḥayyim," p. 48; see also Kohut, "Aruch Completum," s. v. "Leviathan," for other references, and his essay in "Z. D. M. G." vol. xxi., p. 590, for the parallels in Persian literature).

The haggadic sayings obtained a hold on the imagination of the poets, who introduced allusions to the banquet of the leviathan into the liturgy. However the connection in this lore is suspect, as it is developed with wrong characters, as the Serpent of the Garden of Edin (Eden) was not married to a Lillitu, and Lillith appearing as a different characterization which is shown in earlier works. Also in finality Satan is male, as is Leviathan-and-behemoth, so taking this character and changes sex would be a miracle indeed.

In some forms being pushed forward in Theistic Satanism, it would make a person wonder how a he becomes a she and both being of the ocean or sea, there is no previous connection. Is Leviathan then Tiamat, not at all its a corruption, that the early Hebrews pushed forth of the Leviathan and later connected it to Tiamat via Babylonian Lore to make the God seem more connected however, why would someone if the Hebrews.

Ancient Hebrews did not all read the Kabbalah and even today few Jew delve in magical lore, and while certain sects dispute Satan he is certainly not a she. And Satan is certainly not a Hippopotamus! Thanks again. Relating Hippopotamus creatures to Theistic Satanism is strange and could be something that is reminiscent of a Hippopotamus Cult. Who is Satan is is something we explore in other teachings all based on sourcing from academia.
