The Infernal Circle
The Infernal Circle is the home of theistic Satanist and demonologist Reverend Cain. It promotes a definitively spiritual approach to the left-hand path, approaching Satanism and witchcraft through a literal Christian interpretation. The Infernal Circle also hosts a paid book club called Academia Diaboli.
The Five Infernal Tenets
I
DevotionThe Satanist should be devoted to the pursuit of self-betterment – the conquering of weaknesses, the embrace of ambition, and the prioritization of living a good, fruitful life. As well, the Satanist should always remain devoted to the people, principles, and pursuits that they hold dear – the greatest bounties are bestown only upon those committed to their attainment.
II
ResilienceThe Satanist must be willing to weather the tempests of life – failure, derision, fear, loss, and the relentless obstacles that we are all fated to face as mortal beings. As well, the Satanist should strive to embody the spirit of Satan – standing boldly in the face of adversity, always prepared to defend their principles, beliefs, and passions.
III
ClarityThe Satanist must strive for clarity in every thought and action – learning how to analyze, plan, and act in a way that is both unbiased and true to one’s nature. As well, the Satanist must clearly assess the road they travel – where they are, and where they wish to go. Once they have charted their path, the Satanist must stay the course – always keeping sight of the bigger picture.
IV
AutonomyThe Satanist must never forfeit their autonomy to any person, hardship, or body – the spirit of Satan is that of self-governance and reasonable defiance, no matter the odds. As well, the Satanist must aim to limit behaviors that may weaken one’s sense of autonomy – self-deceit, overindulgence, avoidance, and an overreliance on externals beyond one’s complete control.
V
WisdomThe Satanist should always strive to be as informed as is possible – forever eager to learn so that they may improve themselves as both a Satanist and human being. As well, the Satanist must learn how to apply the knowledge they gain from life and from the Left-Hand Path – knowledge is useless until it helps shape one's actions, thoughts, desires, or earthly pursuits.
