WOLFISM XXI from Wolfie's blog
I am adamant on these
two principles:
1. Discorporate
entities exist only in the mind, and represent aspects of the self.
2. Ritual affects
only the practitioner, and only mentally.
To claim anything
else is self-deceit, a vice born of weakness and stupidity. The strong and the
cunning guard the citadel of beliefs in their head. Nothing is allowed to enter
except the empirically verified, the logically necessary, or the word of sources
reliable enough to survive the interrogation of inquisitive and demanding skeptics.
An accurate picture of reality can be a matter of life and death, or at least
success or failure. The strong and the cunning keep their eye on the ball, and
the gate to their citadel locked, with sentries posted and bearing arms.
Intellectual honesty
is pragmatic, yes, but it is also a matter of pride. To be weak and stupid is
revolting. To be strong and cunning is the highest nobility, conducive of the
most resilient vanity and the most commanding arrogance. No attribute is better
proof of strength and cunning than intellectual honesty.
Be strong enough to
bear the weight of cold, hard fact, and resist the honey-dripping temptation of
falsehood. Be cunning enough to discern which is which. Lie to anyone you wish –
except yourself. Falsehood is a trap. Truth is freedom.
External reality
does not include discorporate entities and is not vulnerable to the power of
ritual. No one who claims otherwise can support their claims with empirical
verification, logical necessity, or the word of sources reliable enough to
survive the interrogation of inquisitive and demanding skeptics. Simple as
that. Case closed.
Ritual is mind-work.
The Great Work is mind-work. Ritual is the Great Work. Do it with that
understanding. And then, when your mind is right and the time is right: Act.
Out in the real world where there are real consequences. Act. ISCHYROS
DIAVOLOS!

You and I both know you can’t make a valid a priori claim as a result of your own particular experience. All of your claims are merely inductive i.e., based on the regularity of your own particular limited experience, and you know that just as well as I do. You can’t categorically prove that a magical ritual doesn’t work, just as you can’t definitively prove that atheism is completely correct either.
Do you think your rhetoric, your sophistry, and the churning out of these endless blogs, because somebody dares to disagree with you, is the way to put a genuinely rational argument? You think bluster will win it for you?
Why do you refer to yourself as a Satanist? Why not just call yourself a Randian - because that’s really what you are. I mean that is the intellectually honest point of view – you’re a Randian.
I mean at one point you were posing as a LaVeyan and then when I started quoting the guy and pointing out what he had to say about the Satanic religion, the dark force in nature in TSB, and what he had to say about his belief in supernormal magical practice you sort of dodged it all by trying to undermine LaVey. And you misunderstood those LaVey quotes or you didn’t even make an effort to get them.
Why do you refer to yourself as a Satanist? Where is the Satan in your Satanism? If you’re a supporter of Rand, then be that. Satanism is an occult philosophy. It is always clothed in religious trappings for a reason. Its roots came out of religious tradition. It has its esoteric elements.What a lot of bullshit this blog is…
