Welcome to exploring Anton LaVey’s unique approach to magic in LaVeyan Satanism, known as “materialist magic” or “atheistic witchcraft.” This approach diverges from traditional magic by grounding itself in naturalism and atheism, emphasizing human psychology and actions over supernatural forces.
In this episode, we’ll discuss the core principles of LaVeyan magic, which includes using rituals as psychodrama to align one’s conscious and subconscious toward specific goals. LaVey advocated that all “magical” phenomena can be explained by natural laws, and central to his teaching is the belief that focused intent and willpower can shape personal and environmental outcomes without any supernatural intervention.
In practice, LaVeyan Satanism uses rituals involving symbolic actions that resonate with personal goals to influence the practitioner’s psyche and behaviour, with the effectiveness of these rituals lying in their capacity to induce psychological change.
We’ll delve deeper into how LaVeyan Satanism redefines traditional magical practices, emphasizing empirical and psychological approaches to achieving personal goals.
