Pot calling the kettle black now are we? You obviously know nothing of Satanism if you think its dancing around a tree naked yelling "SATAN PLEASE HELP".
The book the Satanic Witch, is meant for both men and women and focuses on seducing/manipulating other people to your will to further your own personal goals.
IE. The girl in school who asks the boy that likes her to beat up another girl/boy.
Ladies and Gentlemen, you can safely ignore this fellow on the subjects of Satanism, both Theistic and LaVeyan. Even if he does have that ookyspooky upside down pentagram with a goat head inside for an avatar.
Let's go over the basics shall we? LaVeyan satanism is a religion in the way that the more philosophical branches of Buddhism are. It has very little actual spiritual/supernatural content, instead it fashions a set of rules by which the practitioners live by. They're generally self-serving ego-worship type things. It evens has it's own sins like having an illogically high opinion of one's self. While it does embrace ritual I'm pretty sure they don't have any magical intent but with some people they do. LaVeyans come in many forms, as the philosophy emphasizes free thought and blahdeeblah.
Theistic satanism is another kettle of fish entirely. It's the worship of an actual entity called Satan, Baphomet, or something else. Once again, it's been awhile since I've had contact with any of these type of people. Theistic satanists are generally quite rare, when compared with LaVeyans. Anyways a large theistic organization, and I use the term large loosely, is the Temple of Set. There's also the Church of Azazael. No idea how large that one is though. Check them out of if you want to understand the modern state of Theistic Satanism.
