The 9 Satanic Statement of LaVeyan Satanism are a far cry from the Wiccan Rede:
1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!
7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his ?divine spiritual and intellectual development,? has become the most vicious animal of all!
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!
Pagan/Wicca is not related in any way to Abrahamicism (Christianity, Judaism, Islam) and Satanism is a reaction to Abrahamicism.
Wiccans have their own mythologies, they don't need to borrow things from Christians.
That being said, many Satanists are atheists, and don't believe in the very Abrahamic mythology they borrow.
Abrahamicists-Monotheists.
Satanists-Monotheists or atheists (mostly)
Wiccans-polytheists
non-Wiccan Pagans- Most Polytheists, some atheists.
are you a christian? paganism, Wicca, witchcraft, the craft, is a nature and energy-based religion.
satanism, on the other hand, is a cult. also, there is no such thing as Satan, hell, or even heaven in Wicca.
Paganism is actually anything that isn't Judaism, Christianity, or Islam. It is usually used to mean any of the old religions of Europe. Wicca is a new pagan religion based loosely on the Celtic religion of old. There are currently two kinds of Satanism, one where believers are Christians with issues and actually worship the Christian Satan and one that has long since separated itself from the Christian idea of Satan. There is no Satan in most pagan religions, he is a Christian construct. There are huge differences in pagan religions about beliefs, practice and god-constructs. Though there are lots of histories of proud warriors, most pagan religions are peaceful and don't believe in "converting" others.
Well Satanism is the worship of Satan... And to be Pagan or Wiccan is to be part of an actual religion. It has nothing to do with the worshiping of Satan or anything like that at all.
As far as a know, Wicca the philosophy for witches and sources.. It is mainly based on the power of nature and of all belonging to it.
Satanism is a philosophy based on enhancing the individual person and his power vs. god.
I think the only thing they have in common is the "pentacle", I don't know the word in English, but it is that 5 points star which is the symbol of paganism. However, the use it with different meanings. besoms!
what is the difference between a paganwicca,or satanism?
