To me, this chapter of the Passion narrative, considering all the actors present, does indeed present a broad portrait of humanity: cruelty, vindictiveness, our capacity to suffer and to endure suffering, and our divine and human natures present together.

Satanism and Perfectionism
Image by Paul Brennan from Pixabay This essay is also available as a podcast on anchor.fm and other platforms, and as a video on YouTube.

The Ethics of Perfectionism
This episode opens a three-episode series, following the structure of my last three episodes, in which I will be exploring moral philosophy from my Satanic perspective. In this particular episode, I’ll be surveying moral philosophy in general and taking a look in particular at the philosophy of perfectionism. On the 16th, I’ll be exploring perfectionism more in depth, especially in terms of its relationship to Satanic religion, and then the 26th will be a more poetic expedition into the subject matter.
