i wish wiccans + satanist could bond, but from what i understand, many wiccans tend to put us down. They should realize Satan has a personal meaning to us, and that if they are so anti-christian, they wouldn't be so afraid of satan. I also believe in the moon goddess, though im also a believer in satan. It makes no sense for a wiccan to side w/ a christian against as satanist. They are confused. And somewhat pathetic cuz.. ..
@sydmarissa - Wiccans & Satanist can & do meld. My dearly departed was "Wiccan.She & I still converse quite regularly. Lucifer-Satan has been my God since age of 9...:)
There is a flaw when you relate to Lucifer and Satan. It is a common misconception by Christians and others, but they are not the same. They are entirely different. There are many websites and biblical scholars that will tell you.
Very good video. I can understand many of the concepts that you bring together and make cohesive. I do agree that Witchcraft is a practice and not a religion. What you should not do is generalize the perspectives of people. Not all Christians believe that their path is the only path, and all others are Satanic. There are many Christians I know who understand that theirs is not the only path to spiritual enlightenment. Blesséd Be.
Id like to say this and the 2nd part to this video, are by far your best. Im glad youve tried to clear up the confusion! =) Done well! Kudos and all that jazz! =) x
I totally agree that Wicca, witchcraft and Satanism are connected
Alot of wiccan, witches and satanists spend so long trying to prove that it's not all related, when (if you gather all the facts) they all spawn from pretty much the same place
@gumtreewallow yeah paganism the first religion ever. And satan is not real it was morphed by christianity from the pagan staghorn god into "satan" by filing the horns to a single point thus having "satan" of whitch is used to scare people straight. and on another word all the things "satanists" use.... CAME FROM PAGANISM!!! the pentacle if you flip the real one upside down you get the satan thing and vice versa. and it like that for all the things from paganism
True, anyone can take a label. what separates those from who practice and those who label are the ones that use it as a craft vs. the ones who just take the label.
Youve been lead to believe that the leaders of your religion originated witchcraft when this is not so. there are many indigenous peoples who use the same methods that you do!
They just didnt package it and label it as commercial witchcraft to be sold in books.
Gardner was influated bye Crowley yes but only cermoniel magick. We don't know how the coven perform the craft or witchcraft. The term witchcraft is a practice of a witch but we don't know what the witch performing because Wicca hold it secred.
They publish a lot of their works now, so its available to the public. Try reading Buckland's Blue Book, Complete Guide to Witchcraft. Get self-initiated.
You must remember that they use term "witchcraft" and "wicca" as the same. Wicca is a religion like you say and witchcraft is Wiccas secred craft. They central magical rituals are secred.
'Wicca', while it has many interpretations usually refers to the religion of one who practices witchcraft.
Obviously not everyone who practices witchcraft, uses it as a religion. Its a craft and anyone can use it. If you want to relate that craft to religion its fine with me. But i certainly don't and neither do others who don't practice it as part of a religion. Its a craft - a method of magic.
The diferent between Wicca and witchcraft is that Wicca is a religion and witchcraft is a craft, but to know that craft you must initate into a wiccan coven.
There is only "one witchcraft" and it is that craft you will learn in a coven. Witches today are not the same as those in old days. "Witchcraft" in that time was all crafts that people did not understand. If we use that term today will a doctor forexample be a witch or a clairvoyant or a healer. A modern witch is an initated into a coven.
Brilliant, intelligent video miss Satanas. I wish that more people would do the research like you and show some freethinking and intelligence. There's way too many mindless zombies out there who just go along with the flock.
I am a witch but im not a wiccan i am all about witchcraft sorcery and magic so i have no religion witchcraft is a art a practice a craft and wiccanism is religion that practice magic i have no rules or laws but wiccans do my kind of witches will curse and hurt others but the wiccans have rules agaist curses or hurting others so understand that the word witch doesnt mean wiccan or satan the word witch only means a person with hidden powers

i respect your belief,but witchcraft is a mere label they gave us.but witchcraft itself dates as far back as 30,000 years.the witches hammer is basically lies by the pope.the league of witches do set laws forebidding satanist from being that of witchcraft itsself.if one practices evil magick,they are merely practioners of magick,not witches.
"Satanism and Witchcraft" by Jules Michelet is a great source on middle-age superstitions. People who used to honor the natural spirits of the cosmos were labeled "satanic" and following "mystical" gods. Being a Vaisnava, the idea of an actual existing entity like "satan" is preposterous.
This universe is one of millions and all material creation is only a small part of the total energy of Krsna(God). Material world is inferior/outer energy, spiritual world is superior/internal energy.
he isnt lying christians make wiccans out to be satanists aswell, when they are totaly different but yes witches and pagans came from the same source and to christians they are afraid of what they do not understand which is why i must agree with this video. though i do believe satanists do evil things like have sacrafices to satan i see their point of view being that its not human scrifices and in the bible they made sacrifices to god in the desers aswell (jews)!
Contrary to popular belief, sacrifice in satanism is not as popular as you may think. First of all, the Satanic bible teaches "Do not harm children or animals". Secondly, most satanists have no interest in copying what Christians think of satanism (ie. sacrificing). You will find that sacrifice in satanism is very rare and is most often shunned by the satanic community Of course in the medieval era they accused witches of sacrificing too. maybe its a leftover rumor-panic belief of a bygone era.
Hello, eclectic Pagan here. I never equated witchcraft as being one and the same as Wicca. Wicca is a religion; witchcraft, as you said, is an applied craft. As a general rule I also have more respect for Satanists than I do for Christians. Satanists, I find, are intelligent people who don't close their minds and hearts to the beauty of the world. I see more of your videos on the list, and will view them later, but for now I need to get some rest. :)
well the true big idea of satanism is from christians. but its not original. the idea of a massive negative force that makes people do bad things has been around for a very long time. but people are afraid so what evs. they can all just continue there ignorance there not gona get very far.
Witchcraft is a form of rituals and magick that one is able to use the energy of the universe. However your intent and who you call upon to use this energy is different. Satanist or wiccan or even Christian themselves still use magick to this day. They call upon their god to bless you or the arch angels for exorcism. All religion use some kind craft. Therefore in my own opinion it should not be called Witchcraft but just merely Craft.
Very good information. A well-read witch is a happy witch indeed! As a practicing witch of traditional ways, I can say that the nature of our way is indeed satanic, as it opposes the christion opposers as well as those who would subdue us. As well as in many forms of craft, a horned deity,witch-father, is sometimes called "the devil", although as I said well read, I supose I do not have to tell you any of this! lol =]
OMG THANK YOU! I have this nutter on my webpage that thinks I'm a satanist, lol. I am a wiccan, and I wish He'd watch this, because there is A LOT of good info in this vid.
Satanism is a 18th century creation a parody of the christian church it has nothing to do with paganism neo-paganism or wicca which was pagged by christians as satanic modern satanism or laveyan satanism is a philisophical rather than religious system of thought this is important distinction modern satanism is an athiests creation it has nothing to do with the oocult or magick its a celebration of the self with magic as a costume to dress it up
This is a really Good Lecture,thanks for doing all this research.I am Actually a Christian but I also study Demonology and the History of religion.Wiccans cant argue with you The Horned God Is still a Satanic figure,Western Witchcraft And The Devil are linked in History.
unfortunately they are, this is true. however most Wiccans would not see their Horned God as Satan. I can understand their view, and it's all right with me :-)
i like this video ...tons of good info ... the more I watch your videos the closer I draw to the conclusion all religions are cults and most people are full of shit.. i like how you point out the fact that christians "demonize" and use the word satanic to define people who rebel against the church.... satanism to me is freedom, nothing more and now days it seems the most logical way of life. I dont feel like im bound by morality...and it feels good?
LOL just cause in ancient times christians labeled pagans or practitioners of folk magick ..Satanic does not give you ties to witchcraft lol or make us satanic and yes anyone can use witchcraft but this does not make you like us FFF im sorry
Hi you are right what you said,there is one thing tha bothers me though Wiccans are not witches as such,there is also family witchcraft which has nothing to do with wicca.Look at my channel to see what i mean.
Satan means acuser. the name Lucifer is used onloy once in the entire Bible. In Isaiah. It means bring bringer. And it refers to Satan and to king of Babylon doubly.Lucifer is the name used for before the fall of Satan. It amazes me how little some people can undetstand about history. Of course Christianity took the idea of satan from Judaism. Judeo-Christian. We are a religion that stems from judaism.
I have not seen it. I will have to look it up and get back to you. I am I Christian training to be a preacher. So I am learning alot about the history and the church and the Bible to better understand my own beliefs.
I agree, Satan, or Lucifer, is a pagan god. Christians believe that Satan is evil, but Satanists do not. Satanists either view Satan as a personifcation of freedom, or as a pre-christian deity. Witches were accused of Devil worship, because all pre-christian deities were referred to as Devils. I view Witchcraft as a specific tradition of northern Europe. It is a shamanic tradition, all over the world there are different shamanic traditions.
As a Christian I know the people which demand for other people to bow down to their interpretation of Christ, are just doing a power-grab. Organized religion is about grabbing power from people, then forcing whatever traditions which are had, onto other people. This is why Holy-War does happen, refusal to accept being forced into the belief-systems of other-people.
wow this is really intresting i like learning bout other religons helps me understand things better i am santeria not wiccan but in my religon we also do witchcraft we believe in the orixas and god tough i think there are many religons that practice witchcraft but you dont neccisarily have to be in one of those religons to do it so cool thanks for posting
In Charles G.Leland"s translation of the Italian Witchcraft "Aradia,Gospel of the Witches" the God of the Witches was the brother of Diana, Goddess of the moon. His name was Lucifer (which means splendor) he was the God of the light and of the sun.
What Charles Leland did in his translation was to take the Lucifer from the ignorance of Christian dogma and put him back to his rightful place in Witchcraft as the Witch's God. I believe that La Vey's Satan and Leland's Lucifer are the same.
Dominating cultures who worship a patriarchal diety often obliterate or demonize the male dieties of other religions and subsume under the male god aspects of female dieties. In Christianity this can seen in the development of Satan (a conglomeration of pagan dieties) and in Mary,the mother of Christ, who has many aspects of a mother goddess. In Greek mythology Zeus subsumes the wisdom of the female diety Athena by giving birth to her out of his head.
This video is very important for breaking down the misconseptions of the modern world. I think that if people were to listen we could break down the fear of the unknown
as a wiccan I've never come a across this problem. I didn't realize people were assuming witch craft is only a pagan/wiccan thing. I hope people your very informative video helps fix this misconception. Mind you I would like to point out that wicca was not "created" by gardner he's only the creator of "gardner wicca" but other then that you seem very well educated and I very much enjoyed your video.
My only comment to you is the real truth about most people in the world when it comes to Religion. Most people don't want to be educated about who God is Who The devil is or what the meaning of the Bible is. That is at the heart of what makes Wiccan's and witches today so Special and yet Scary to the Christins like Shockawa's here on the Tube.
Satanism and paganism have not that much in common as you led people to believe. True early Christians called polytheistic people satanist. But what they meant by satanist was Christians tryng to make pagans sinister, but early pagans wanted nothing with Christianity in any way. It was the Christians who copied and adapted the pagan ways and from Christianity sprang true satanism.
I am a Witch and I proudly practice the Craft. The art of "Witchcraft". Does that make me a Wiccan or a Pagan? No not necessarily because those are both religions. I practice what I have been taught through generations of my family. I worship the God/Goddess. I cast a circle for protection when needed and do spells when there is a cause for one. I throughly enjoyed the video and found it very interesting, but found it very harsh that the wiccans took the blunt of the bashing for their input.
Pagan is not a religion. I'm puzzled, if you practice traditional witchcraft why do you cast circles? Isn't circle casting more of a ceremonial magic or wicca type stuff?
True, however it still works! Even traditional Witches sometimes pick and choose what works.
If meditation works, I'll try it, and if a bit of light feng-shui makes my room more accomadationg, I'll go along with it, and if casting a circle makes me feel safer I shall!
so,VIRGIN Goddess Had a child known as Lux-Fer, the bringer of light??? its funny because A: she is a virgin Goddess, so how did she have a kid. B: The bringer of light??? thats funny because Pan, the horned man you speak of, is the God of the sun. you are trying to mixed 2 seperate belief systems into the same barrel based upon the fact that both may practice the craft. and as a wiccan i must say, with no disrespect intended, that is the reason why christians say that we Wiccans worship Satan
You have one point mixed up; Diana (Artemis in Greece) has had no son mentioned in her myths, let alone by the name of lucifer. She was one of the few Greek/Roman Gods/Goddesses that remained a virgin; hence, no kids, and no relation between wicca and satanism in that respect.
Witchcraft is a kind of magic who have to do with motherearth and amulets. How has that to do with satanism? Dos satanist not more believes that the power of magic comes from the human body and not from nature?
It is so unbelievably difficult to find information on witchcraft that isn't tied to Wicca. I am so sick of them clinging on to it like a fat kid with candy. How does 50 years of muddled religion make you the end all be all masters of witchcraft?
Right you are! The only way I've found to escape the wicca trap is to study folk magick or ceremonial/high magick. Pretty much everything else is fluff bunny wicca.
Really want to see what Middle Ages Witch looked like? Just type in "Conrnish Witchcraft" into the search engine. That and Those were original and only Witches. Hardly Satanist or Wiccan.
The ancient Pagans did not believe in Dualism.. the idea of a An all evil god vs an all good god. Their gods and goddess were a mix of BOTH aspects. Dualism arose out of the Zorasterian beliefs of Persia crica 600 BC in the belief of Brothers of Light vs Darkness. Satanism NO matter how you attempt to link it to Paganism of Europe is a DUALISTIC Religion. Born as Anti-Religion movement against Christianity. No more "Pagan" or "Ancient" then a two day old twinky in history terms.
wait soo i can b christian and do witch craft and not get hurt or anyhthing? is there like a witch list so i can find one that lives by ,e so i dont have to do it by myself?
The sole connection of Satanism and,Witchcraft is to that of The Great God Pan; Pan is the Greek God Of The Forrest land as well as the God of Fertility, Mischief and, Merryment. As it so happens the Early christians used pan as their archetype for the Creation of their Devil; Furthermore any Deity that the pagans worshipped that they did not like were demonized the ones they did like were turned into saints enough said
I'm atheist. I think the concept of a Devil or a Satan, originates in the Bible of Judaism, in Deuteronomy. Initially the Satan is an angel of the Judean Diety works for the Deity, but later is seen as a opponent of the Deity by early Christians. Elaine Pagels wrote a good book "The Origen of Satan". Religions are stupid, whether Deity or Devil worshipping, I tell people to learn the history of evolution, and science and help us get to the other stars.
Venus dont u listen to some of these people arguing with u..u were right on all levels..ive studied the occult my whole life and am a devoted spiritual satanist
This is an excellent and informative video. That's a great list of authors in your comment here; though I doubt the person you replied to will pick up a single volume. One can only hope.
If you are wiccan, and you are so certain of this, please do some research. You will find that it was Gerald B Gardner who introduced the word "wicca" and the practice of wicca as a religion, in the 20th century.
ok. that just sets me off reffering to satan as this mythological creature. satan is not a creature..he is a spirit and is associated with evil intentions like hatred, greed, lust, selfishness from the origin that he wanted power for himself from the Lord. also, we can understand how such a universal force can be present in many people simply by looking at the aspect of love, humility and seeing how small we are, and looking at aspects of space and the power being made by the same chemicals
LOL wow do some research into the occult for once and see for yourself. There are too many authors to mention but here is a brief list..Israel Regardie, The Golden dawn, Aleister Crowley, Anton LaVey, Dion Fortune, Rosicrucianism, The Greeks, the Romans, Wicca, Satanism, Chi, Kundalini, hmm lets see..Benjamin Rowe, the Kabalah, Wescott, AO Spare, Phile Hine, Chaos magic, Paul Foster Case, The Tarot, pathworking with tarot, Eliphas Levi, hermeticism, mathers, john dee..
Pretty much any path outside of the monotheistic and dualist view of humans and thier one "god". There are many paths, of which you seem to have no realization of..Do you realise how many gods have existed since the dawn of humanity? Is there no coincidence that ALL of these gods have similar histories, stories, meanings and attributes, even the Abrahmaic monotheistic deities? Study Zoroastrianism as well and see how it relates to christianity.
I will be doing a series on theology, and the creation and purpouse of gods within society within the next few weeks. You are more than welcome to come and watch.
Nicely done! I respect any spiritual path, I think we all should......... Blesses be!!!

Contrary to popular belief, sacrifice in satanism is not as popular as you may think. First of all, the Satanic bible teaches "Do not harm children or animals". Secondly, most satanists have no interest in copying what Christians think of satanism (ie. sacrificing). You will find that sacrifice in satanism is very rare and is most often shunned by the satanic community Of course in the medieval era they accused witches of sacrificing too. maybe its a leftover rumor-panic belief of a bygone era.

Hello, eclectic Pagan here. I never equated witchcraft as being one and the same as Wicca. Wicca is a religion; witchcraft, as you said, is an applied craft. As a general rule I also have more respect for Satanists than I do for Christians. Satanists, I find, are intelligent people who don't close their minds and hearts to the beauty of the world. I see more of your videos on the list, and will view them later, but for now I need to get some rest. :)

well the true big idea of satanism is from christians. but its not original. the idea of a massive negative force that makes people do bad things has been around for a very long time. but people are afraid so what evs. they can all just continue there ignorance there not gona get very far.

Witchcraft is a form of rituals and magick that one is able to use the energy of the universe. However your intent and who you call upon to use this energy is different. Satanist or wiccan or even Christian themselves still use magick to this day. They call upon their god to bless you or the arch angels for exorcism. All religion use some kind craft. Therefore in my own opinion it should not be called Witchcraft but just merely Craft.

Very good information. A well-read witch is a happy witch indeed! As a practicing witch of traditional ways, I can say that the nature of our way is indeed satanic, as it opposes the christion opposers as well as those who would subdue us. As well as in many forms of craft, a horned deity,witch-father, is sometimes called "the devil", although as I said well read, I supose I do not have to tell you any of this! lol =]

Satanism is a 18th century creation a parody of the christian church it has nothing to do with paganism neo-paganism or wicca which was pagged by christians as satanic modern satanism or laveyan satanism is a philisophical rather than religious system of thought this is important distinction modern satanism is an athiests creation it has nothing to do with the oocult or magick its a celebration of the self with magic as a costume to dress it up

Satan is a hermaphrodite entity, male and female. In witchcraft, god is what man is, male/female - bisexual, god and goddess, in one deity.
Diana is also called "Lucifera" the bringer of light.

Satan means acuser. the name Lucifer is used onloy once in the entire Bible. In Isaiah. It means bring bringer. And it refers to Satan and to king of Babylon doubly.Lucifer is the name used for before the fall of Satan. It amazes me how little some people can undetstand about history. Of course Christianity took the idea of satan from Judaism. Judeo-Christian. We are a religion that stems from judaism.

RobLarson7 2 years ago
I agree, Satan, or Lucifer, is a pagan god. Christians believe that Satan is evil, but Satanists do not. Satanists either view Satan as a personifcation of freedom, or as a pre-christian deity. Witches were accused of Devil worship, because all pre-christian deities were referred to as Devils. I view Witchcraft as a specific tradition of northern Europe. It is a shamanic tradition, all over the world there are different shamanic traditions.

As a Christian I know the people which demand for other people to bow down to their interpretation of Christ, are just doing a power-grab. Organized religion is about grabbing power from people, then forcing whatever traditions which are had, onto other people. This is why Holy-War does happen, refusal to accept being forced into the belief-systems of other-people.

In Charles G.Leland"s translation of the Italian Witchcraft "Aradia,Gospel of the Witches" the God of the Witches was the brother of Diana, Goddess of the moon. His name was Lucifer (which means splendor) he was the God of the light and of the sun.
What Charles Leland did in his translation was to take the Lucifer from the ignorance of Christian dogma and put him back to his rightful place in Witchcraft as the Witch's God. I believe that La Vey's Satan and Leland's Lucifer are the same.

Dominating cultures who worship a patriarchal diety often obliterate or demonize the male dieties of other religions and subsume under the male god aspects of female dieties. In Christianity this can seen in the development of Satan (a conglomeration of pagan dieties) and in Mary,the mother of Christ, who has many aspects of a mother goddess. In Greek mythology Zeus subsumes the wisdom of the female diety Athena by giving birth to her out of his head.

My only comment to you is the real truth about most people in the world when it comes to Religion. Most people don't want to be educated about who God is Who The devil is or what the meaning of the Bible is. That is at the heart of what makes Wiccan's and witches today so Special and yet Scary to the Christins like Shockawa's here on the Tube.
Whitebafflosky 3 years ago
Satanism and paganism have not that much in common as you led people to believe. True early Christians called polytheistic people satanist. But what they meant by satanist was Christians tryng to make pagans sinister, but early pagans wanted nothing with Christianity in any way. It was the Christians who copied and adapted the pagan ways and from Christianity sprang true satanism.

I am a Witch and I proudly practice the Craft. The art of "Witchcraft". Does that make me a Wiccan or a Pagan? No not necessarily because those are both religions. I practice what I have been taught through generations of my family. I worship the God/Goddess. I cast a circle for protection when needed and do spells when there is a cause for one. I throughly enjoyed the video and found it very interesting, but found it very harsh that the wiccans took the blunt of the bashing for their input.

Pagan is not a religion. I'm puzzled, if you practice traditional witchcraft why do you cast circles? Isn't circle casting more of a ceremonial magic or wicca type stuff?

True, however it still works! Even traditional Witches sometimes pick and choose what works.
If meditation works, I'll try it, and if a bit of light feng-shui makes my room more accomadationg, I'll go along with it, and if casting a circle makes me feel safer I shall!

HecatesLibra 3 years ago
You have one point mixed up; Diana (Artemis in Greece) has had no son mentioned in her myths, let alone by the name of lucifer. She was one of the few Greek/Roman Gods/Goddesses that remained a virgin; hence, no kids, and no relation between wicca and satanism in that respect.

The ancient Pagans did not believe in Dualism.. the idea of a An all evil god vs an all good god. Their gods and goddess were a mix of BOTH aspects. Dualism arose out of the Zorasterian beliefs of Persia crica 600 BC in the belief of Brothers of Light vs Darkness. Satanism NO matter how you attempt to link it to Paganism of Europe is a DUALISTIC Religion. Born as Anti-Religion movement against Christianity. No more "Pagan" or "Ancient" then a two day old twinky in history terms.

The word Satan is actually two words one being Sat meaning: the Unmoved and,
The other being Tan meaning: that which moves.
Hence, the Word Satan mean the unmoved that moves.
However, by the language of the Jews the word Satan Means Adversary.

The sole connection of Satanism and,Witchcraft is to that of The Great God Pan; Pan is the Greek God Of The Forrest land as well as the God of Fertility, Mischief and, Merryment. As it so happens the Early christians used pan as their archetype for the Creation of their Devil; Furthermore any Deity that the pagans worshipped that they did not like were demonized the ones they did like were turned into saints enough said

I'm atheist. I think the concept of a Devil or a Satan, originates in the Bible of Judaism, in Deuteronomy. Initially the Satan is an angel of the Judean Diety works for the Deity, but later is seen as a opponent of the Deity by early Christians. Elaine Pagels wrote a good book "The Origen of Satan". Religions are stupid, whether Deity or Devil worshipping, I tell people to learn the history of evolution, and science and help us get to the other stars.

ok. that just sets me off reffering to satan as this mythological creature. satan is not a creature..he is a spirit and is associated with evil intentions like hatred, greed, lust, selfishness from the origin that he wanted power for himself from the Lord. also, we can understand how such a universal force can be present in many people simply by looking at the aspect of love, humility and seeing how small we are, and looking at aspects of space and the power being made by the same chemicals

Pretty much any path outside of the monotheistic and dualist view of humans and thier one "god". There are many paths, of which you seem to have no realization of..Do you realise how many gods have existed since the dawn of humanity? Is there no coincidence that ALL of these gods have similar histories, stories, meanings and attributes, even the Abrahmaic monotheistic deities?
