I have a lot of clients ask me if I am a Satanist, or if Cult of the Red Goddess (CRG) is a Satanic cult. The answer is: yes and no. In this post I provide some insights to the origins of CRG and how it differs from Satanism.
A lot of clients are fascinated by Satan, and Satanism, largely because they had a Christian or Catholic upbringing where Satan, Lucifer, or “The Devil” was taught as the ultimate evil to be avoided at all cost. I was raised Buddhist by Japanese immigrant parents, so I do not have the same baggage around Christianity that these clients do. I was not raised Christian, therefore Satanism and blasphemy are not at all shocking or taboo for me. In fact, I find the Christian ideas of good and evil to be hypocritical, rigid, and flawed concepts. There is no good and evil as far as I am concerned, only dark and light, and both principles are important within The Cult of the Red Goddess.
I did read Lavey’s Satanic bible when I first started studying the occult, and I am indeed a fan of Satanism, and I the majority of real life Satanists that I know are wonderful people that I respect a great deal. Am I a Satanist? Yes, in that I love Lucifer (who is, after all an angel known as the “bringer of light” i.e. KNOWLEDGE) and that I agree with many of the tenets of Satanism. I believe that Lucifer and Samael (Lilith’s consort) represents the divine masculine incubus principle that balances the divine feminine of the succubus Red Goddess. However I would not say that CRG is a a Satanic cult. Here’s why:
As I mentioned before, many people are interested in Satan as a response to toxic Christian programming. Religious deprogramming in preparation for initiation to CRG (see lesson one of my Elite Slave Training program if you wish to begin this process), requires dissolving limiting beliefs around good and evil installed by Christian upbringing. That includes fearing Satan. The fascination with Satan held by many is simply continuing to play out religious programming that is no longer useful. Attachment to Satan represents clinging to Christian values and beliefs. And if that’s your fetish- good for you, but it’s not what CRG is about.
I am a fucking female supremacist! I prefer to center female energies in my spiritual practice. It is also worth noting that the Satanic Baphomet is both male AND female. The sigil of Baphomet often contains the names of the demon lovers Samael and Lilith, Lilith being the female demon who was Adam’s first wife. Satanism reveres many female and androgynous deities beyond the masculine Lucifer.
Now, if your fetish is being tempted by Satan, or blaspheming against Jehovah and Jesus, I have no problem with that whatsoever. (In Jesus’ defense: his wife was a sacred whore and I’m pretty sure he was bisexual. He seemed to be a cool guy, it’s just that his followers really suck sometimes). In fact, I really love these fantasies. But that’s all they are to me: fantasies. If you really want to go deeper into spiritual slave training as a devotee within the Cult of the Red Goddess, I WILL ask more of you. I will ask you to release your attachment to the false binary of good and evil, and emerge completely transformed through the power of the Red Goddess.
Dark Blessings,
Goddess Eriko
