#reverse magick
Quite a lot of Spiritual Satanists these days - in fact most - and all of the so called Rational Satanists always condemn the Theistic Satanist for using reversed Christian/Catholic symbolism as Devil Worship and being under the power of God … this is not only a completely foolish statement which one would expect from the Rational/LaVeyan Satanist who knows little or nothing of true Occult Workings but also one which shows no understanding of the methods of the mechanics of certain Occult practices such as Image or Fetish Magick.
Christian/Catholic symbols and Rites carry a power of their own fuelled over the centuries by the belief and faith put into them, they are as all symbols and Rituals conduits to tap into other worldly powers sources … by inverting and reversing these symbols and workings the Satanic Sorcerer too taps into these sources, but not in the same way, they tap into them through the corruption and intentionally subversive inversion of their power.
It is the same application as Image Magick, where the imitation of a certain form is thought to influence that form, a practice utilized in Witchcraft, Satanism and Voodoo among other paths for centuries - the practice most likely as its roots in the early practices of Animism when the imitation of animals would be believed to give the individual power over them or a link to them.
When one takes the Crucifix and inverts it one is reversing the power of all that is associated with Christ, it becomes a symbol of the anti-thesis of the current of the Dead Prophet and the blasphemy of the act carries a power of its own; the same with the inversion of the Catholic Mass, the reversal of the Lord’s Prayer and the sexualization of the piety of Nuns and Priests.
So much of Magick is founded upon the connecting to, reversing of or channelling of aspects or symbols which carry a certain energy of their own, even in such practices as Planetary Magick, Herbal Magick or the use of Fetishes and Totems the core foundation is the harnessing of celestial, natural or symbolic forces through a form of imitative practice during Ritual.
I have used this form of Magick and it works with powerful results, it is as potent as Image Magick used in Satanic Witchcraft, Pagan Witchcraft and Voodoo throughout history - forms of Magick which still in the present day are practiced and regarded as one of the most powerful forms of SpellCraft.
Ignore the ignorance of the Rational Satanist, their knowledge of other realm connections or indeed other realms is tarnished by their denial of their existence - this form of Magick and Inversion is a potent tool in Black Magick!
