Line 1:
Line 1: − '''Capitalist guilt''' as conceived by [[Karl Marx]] is the notion that all profit is evil since it exploits workers, so Capitalists who reap profit from workers' labor are guilty of theft (see [[Labor theory of value]]). Marx used this notion as a key point in his argument that [[Capitalism]] was not merely flawed, but rotten at the core, and therefore needed not reform but complete overthrow. He reasoned hat society's economic relations would be much more fair under a "[[dictatorship of the proletariat]]", although experiments on a grand scale as in the [[USSR]] showed that the gap between rich and poor actually increases in [[Communist]] countries.+ − * Hal McKenzie wrote: "In Marx's day, the early Industrial Revolution was creating tremendous social dislocation and a great deal of suffering. Writers like Charles Dickens and Upton Sinclair wrote eloquently of the shocking conditions in which workers lived and worked. For Marx, it wasn't enough to simply push for reform. He concluded that only the total eradication of the system and its replacement by communism would do+ − *Therefore, in his opus 'Das Kapital,' Marx set out to prove that capitalism was not evil only because of greedy policies, but irredeemably evil due to the nature of the system. If that were so, no reforms could ever work and its annihilation could be justified.+ − *And the greatest contrast between privileged elites and the toiling masses is to be found in communist countries.+ − *Capitalism manufactures wealth by a give-and-take between commodities' use value to consumers and their profitability to manufacturers. Where this give and take occurs without hindrance, the magic of the marketplace creates the marvels of production and affluence that we take for granted in the capitalist West.+ − *The injustices that occur in capitalism result from inequitable distribution of profit, not in creation of profit itself. Over the years, capitalism has been made more equitable by legislation, unions and taxation.+ − *Capitalism, rather than being an evil system, is a marvelous tool which when used wisely by humane leaders, can meet all man's material needs. The only revolution needed in capitalism is a moral and ethical one that can direct it towards that purpose.

Bestow upon me, Satan, the characteristics of the Dragon
Overwhelming strength, vanquishing all weakness
Uncompromising power, to manifest my will
A fierce presence, in the face of my enemies
Dreadfully protective, a shield for those I care about
May its fire burn in my spirit, keeping the black flame bright
Bestow upon me, Satan, the characteristics of the Serpent
Possessing ancient wisdom, creative in my solitude
Believably cunning, so I can make my way in life
Extremely ruthless, when people attack
In constant renewal, rising each day prepared to do your work
May its venom run through my soul, till it consumes me
Bestow upon me, Satan, the characteristics of the Peacock
Prideful in appearance, always showing off my beauty
Immortal spirit, living on throughout the ages
Steadfast in everything, willing to go anywhere necessary
Regal in stature, a presence to be reckoned with
May its essence fill my body, making every step one of confidence
Bestow upon me, Satan, the characteristics of the Raven
Forever watchful, never ceasing to observe those around me
Highly intelligent, knowing what to do in every situation
A spiritual figure, so I can teach others about you
Master of death, embracing it when my time has come
May its darkness surround me, where every living being will feel you with me
Bestow upon me, Satan, the characteristics of the Goat
Stubborn in the face of adversary, never thwarted in my goals
Fearless in the face of fear, doing what others dare not
Courageous without limits, climbing every mountain in my way
Wild to the point of abandon, free to be who I am meant to be
May its energy ignite my faith and desire, forever holding high the horns of Baphomet
Satan’s Temple
Black candles burning… Satan invoked
Sigils drawn… flesh is cut
An offering is made in the Master’s name
I have given you, Satan, my life force
My blood spilt for your victory
Come into me as I open myself
Your essence consumes my soul
I am yours… forever and eternally
How could I love anyone more than you… it is not possible
I live for you
My body is yours to make your will manifest
My mind I have given for you to create what you desire us to know
My spirit declares your glory
My soul is my ultimate sacrifice to you, my Master
Satan, you fill my mind and transform me
Darkness overcomes me, and I bask in its infernal pleasures
Your presence surrounds me, therefore I am never alone
With bended knee before your altar
I have made eternal oaths that can never be broken
May you always be glorified in everything I do
Foundations have been shifted as you work in my life
Where there once was light… there is darkness
Where there was stagnation… now there is chaos
Where there once was love… is hatred
Satan, I am your temple
I feel your presence increasing within me
When people look at me, they see you
As they feel me, they feel you
I anoint them with my blood
And when they drink of me, they drink of you
I praise you eternally, Lord Satan
Prince of Darkness, Ancient Serpent
You are great and majestic
With a beauty that shines more than the sun
And darker than the deepest hole in the universe
I embrace your darkness, I embrace your light
With you, I have all I need
Ave Satani!
PRAYER FOR SATANIST LEADERS
Lord Satan
Mighty One
Wisdom Incarnate, Speaker of Knowledge
I ask that you bestow your blessings on the leaders of our Satanic Community
Guide us, so we will serve you in the ways that you desire
Give us strength, to keep us going when things get tough
Bestow upon us wisdom, so we will know what to do in all situations
Inspire us to encourage one another, instead of tear each other down
So we will use our words to bless instead of curse
Yet push us to stand tall when we face things that are wrong
To fight if we have to, yet strive for peace
Help us, Father, to be there for your children-both the adept and the new
To guide them in learning what you have for them
To encourage them not to follow anyone but you and to find their own path
Let us not forget what it was like when we first came to you
How you were gentle, kind and patient
May we follow in your footsteps
To love as you love, teach as you teach
We are happy to be your servant; reveal to us the hidden things
Try us; so we may be worthy of your affairs that you place in our hands
Bestow on us your covenant as we trust in you
Let us receive your counsel, not acting unless it is your will
It is an honour to serve you, Lord Satan
Thank you for choosing us
May our lives be devoted to you; may we be a reflection of who you are to the world
Watch over us and bless your people
Lord and Mighty Satan, may it be done according to your will
PRAYER OF THANKS
Satan
For all the things you mean to me, I thank you
For the joy in my heart, the life in my spirit, I give you thanks
Satan, Father, you give me a reason to live
You give my life meaning
Every day is a treasure in which you encourage me to grow
You nudge me to enjoy every minute
The signs you give me, I treasure
The dreams you send, they guide me
Your presence reassures me I am not alone, for that there are no words
Energy you give when I am weak
Strength you pour into my being when I must walk the difficult walk
When I am sad, you comfort me
When people hurt me, you let me know you are on my side
You are everything I will ever need
You're my Father, who I go to with everything
My Teacher, who guides me in all knowledge
My Protector, when I am in danger
My Creator, who made me who I am
And above all, Satan, you are my God with whom I will spend eternity
Thank you, with all my heart
Thank you, from the depths of my spirit
Thank you, with all that I am
Prayer of the Satanic Warrior
Oh Satan, you give us the power to trample the remnants of Christianity that is left in this world
Fill us with your essence
Let it run through our veins, our souls, our minds… our entire being
We trample on the cross... we spit upon the book of lies... we desecrate the virgin whore
Forever standing proud against the Abrahamic ‘god’
We blaspheme his holy spirit and laugh at his suffering
Inspiring those in shackles to break free from his tyrant ways
Entice them to take that precious bite, where they will be delivered forevermore
You are the mighty one, Lord Satan
And have bestowed upon us the knowledge that has made us what we are today
We hail your name and stand strong with you for all eternity
Inspire us even further to do the work you have for us
To be warriors for you in this world and beyond
Standing up to our enemies and yours alike
We honour you through our words, our actions, our thoughts
Each day that we live upon this earth, may we grow stronger in wisdom and in our love for you
You are our Father, our Teacher, our Muse, our Everything
We have taken your mark in dedication
And the universe will know that we are yours
Place your mighty hand upon us and lead us further down your infernal path
Hail Satan!
PRAYER FOR EMOTIONAL HEALING
When insecurity hits me like a raging wind
Be with me, Father Satan
When doubt strikes me like lightning
Remind me of truth
When fear over powers me
Hold me in your wing, Great Dragon
If pain grabs me like a claw
Heal me, with your mighty power
When depression fills me as water in a well
Shower my soul with joy, Beautiful Peacock Angel
Anxiety creeps through my mind, taking over my thoughts
Place me on solid ground
When I feel I am not good enough,
Make my spirit shine as a star, Wise Serpent
And if I feel that it is too hard to go on
Give me strength
Prayer Upon Waking
At the start of this new day, Lord Lucifer
My thoughts are of you and I know you are with me
I give this day to you
Lead me to walk your path without hesitation
To places where I will gain wisdom
To sources where I will gain knowledge
And where I can make a difference for you
Push me so that no minute will be lost to laziness, inactivity or boredom
So I will be the best that I can be in all areas of my life
Watch over me this day
Protect me from my enemies
Wherever I am, may people see you in me
And in everything I do, may you be honoured
Prayer Before Sleep
At the end of this day, Lord Satan
I thank you for each gift that you have bestowed upon me
For teaching me ancient ways
For experiences both good and bad that has made me stronger
For the people you have taught me through
For the pleasures in which I have partaken
As I sleep, I ask that I may enter your dark realm
So that I may be in your unholy presence
Guide me, Satan, unto yourself
And may I be forever grasped in your mighty wings
