For me...this is the first I've heard of people who appreciate both sides of Satanism as I do...I've learned a great deal and fully appreciate the work that LaVey has done,and love his books,and I also am studying the spiritual element as well...Most people I've spoken with always seem to choose one path or the other and are very strict about it....It's good to know I am not alone in the style that I pursue my quest for knowledge...I love the video series and your site...

Thank you very much - I try to promote a balanced view between the physical and the spiritual, instead of favoring one side over the other

The spiritual world captured our imaginations and comforts us, but the truth is its mythology. And it can be corrupted and used to abuse people. But anything can be misused, so, the onus is on the "believers" to not ignore reason and stay away from abusive spiritualists. That said, the mythologies are otherwise useful and comforting. I only go so far as to believe in energies and forces of nature that I can sense. I think energy responds to us.

It's very hard to be a Real Satanist in the USA, talk about having your Freedom taken away from you from just speaking, anyway I really enjoy your video's, and hope to see more of them, my personal opinion of Satanism is It's a free way of thinking, without what you are forced to believe in or think, besides it's all just an opinion, everyone has them, I always look at things in more then 2 ways, I don't believe everything I hear and see.

I find a great deal of similarity within my own and LaVeyan philosophies, but I also find that this doesn't need to mean I can't consider myself spiritual. I have great respect for how the spiritual realm affects me, and it manifests itself physically. I think it's almost always misinterpreted as being *only* spiritual. Just a thought.

Good video. You explained the difference fairly well. Though with no offense intended to you or any one else - As a LaVeyan Satanist, I do not believe there is a "middle" ground between theistic satanists and LaVeyan Satanist. Simply because one is Theistic, the other is Atheistic. Kinda hard to mix those philosophically. Can't believe in a 'god/devil/spirit' and not...at the same time. Just my opinion. But truly - great video!

LaVeyan Satanists always make fun of Theistic Satanists. If they don't agree, they should still respect each other as Satanists.

@VenusSatanas I tend to favor the physical over the spiritual, but really, I think they can go hand and hand.
