The predominant form of Satanism does not represent a new mysticism at all. Seeing it was set up by the government and by a third rate writer, Anton Szandor La Vey.
There was a problem at this time in history with Timothy Leary and the hippie culture of acid and altruism, so government contracted La Vey to organize the Church of Satan and write the Satanic Bible in an attempt to stop mysticism and other levels of "consciousness."
Although the Church of Satan believes in the practice of magic, it simply defines magic as "obtaining changes in accordance with ones will." The Church of Satan, with governments help, perceives magic not as supernatural but simply supernormal.
With the help of certain denominations of Christianity's elders and special government officers, La Vey was able to finance and write his Satanic Bible. With only one thought on their minds, they attempted to scare children back to Christianity.
The Church of Satan actively rejects spirituality and mysticism of any sort; it espouses an elitist, materialist, and basically atheistic philosophy. The goal was to make the Satanist the ultimate pragmatist.
Unlike the acid culture who seek identity through mysticism the Satanist, (of our governments making) wishes full control of reality and condemns any narcotics, hallucinogens, or other agents that act to separate man from materialism.
Just like everything our religious leaders and government officials try in secret it was a failure.
A second variety that you can now read about in soft porn literature consists of sex clubs that incorporate Satanism and some of its alleged rituals. Many of these clubs are sado-masochist clubs or flagellation societies.
A third variety of Satanic group is just an outgrowth of the narcotics and acid culture that our fine government secretly tried to destroy with their new Satanist Bible.
A fourth variety of Satanism just make up their brand as they go along. Like the epitomized Charles Manson group that allegedly killed Sharon Tate. To think our government and religious leaders were associated with the movie "Rosemary's Baby," for public relations and several other reasons like Timothy Leary and the hippie culture.
Like those interested in astrology, the major followers represent not a search for a new spiritual meaning, but only because they are tired of the lies and have become disenchanted with religious orthodoxy.

In the late 60's and early 70's I lived in East Oakland and was studying at the Univ. of Berkley; a class of Anthropological study of the supernatural. This self proclaimed High Priest La Vey contacted me and several others students and confessed this insane government plot to bring teenagers back to Christianity. By the end of 1971, La Vey became so into this Satan thing he had hopes of making Grottos in every state of our nation. He started with an initial fee of twenty dollars for membership, but the Church became so prosperous he became superman in his mind and betrayed the government. It was so cool to see him burn Uncle Sam. I just want everyone to know that the Book is as fake as a three dollar bill.
As far as selling my rock? Never said it was for sale. You guy's really do not have any clue about the power of the mind and the ability to create darts. The rock is created by the mind along with a few chemical substances. Just like Satan was created by religious leaders to scare innocent little children back into obedience. It is just like any of various philosophical doctrines that stress the external, independent existence of what is perceived or known as evil. Equating ethical assertions with the use of art or literature to confuse your mind and keep you simple and stupid.

I met Lavey in the late 80's or early 90's. He was in portland for a meeting of his church, just sitting there in pioneer courthouse square, looking for all the world like Ming the merciless. Every few minutes some simpering gothic kid who obviously had'nt read his book. If they acted like a dumbshit, or w/ too much adoration, he'd his at them & tell teh to go away. I sat down in my suit, just said hi, he said hi, & we started talking, turns out he knew my great grandparents from their hungarian restaurant in hollywood. He basically admitted that his religion was a crock of shit. He was a relly nice, down to earth funny guy.
