Ancient Satanic Knights' Order of METZALION

The Order (ASKOM) is Satanic because its members believe either: 

      1)      That Satan is a real, external deity, and that the Satanic Grail is a vessel containing His many blessings, such as spiritual healing; or,

2)      That Satan is a symbol of the divinity of humankind, and that the Satanic Grail is symbolic of the Genius of humankind; or,

3)      That Satan is the universal life-force (chi, reiki, prana), and that the Satanic Grail lies within the individual, the free-flowing, life-spark of the person – the Grail represents a reservoir of this energy within the person; or,

4)      That Satan is the true self of the individual, and that the Satanic Grail is the sum total of human knowledge within each person, which defines his or her true potential; or,

5)      That Satan is Magick or the ‘universe as power’ (this ‘power’ having its origin outside this Reality) and that the Satanic Grail is a reservoir of this, a kind of force-field, to which it is possible for the individual to gain access, or over which it is possible to gain control.

 It may also be that members of ASKOM believe in a combination of the above, according to their Understanding, which is inviolate and true for them, therefore true and acceptable to the Order.

 In addition, the Order is Satanic because its members believe: 

a)      That humanity is divine in essence and of ultimate value;

b)      That the individual is bound to attain to his/her full potential;

c)      That matter is sacred and therefore divine;

d)      That the words ‘divine’ and ‘sacred’ mean that which excites a strong, pleasurable, experience – this adheres to the Satanic Principle of Indulgence;

e)      That the Divine Feminine, which the Satanic Grail also symbolizes, is of spiritual value and should be honoured as such;

f)        That belief or knowledge (gnosis) is a process of becoming (xeper), that is to say, we become ourselves through our belief or gnosis.

 Again, members of ASKOM may believe in a combination of the above; or in just one of the above; the Right of the individual to believe in what he/she wills is held in high regard by the Order.
