Strength through Joy!

About Me

A S P are my initials.
I grew up in a small town in Surrey, England (near London).
A few years ago I moved to a coastal town near Canterbury in Kent with my lovely girlfriend .
I would describe myself as skeptical, fun, misanthropic, indulgent, vengeful, Epicurean, kind and carnal.
See the columns to the left for info on my various interests etc.
From a very young age I have had extremely passionate and strong feelings for certain aspects of life. I enjoy being creative and seem to have natural artistic and musical ability.
I was brought up without any religious indoctrination and was encouraged to find my own path. Upon starting school my parents told me along with words of encouragement and warning, “If somebody hits you, hit them back twice a hard!”.
This instilled a great sense of justice in me and a great way of dealing with potential bullies!
As a child I loved dressing up in full outfits/costumes, my favourites being Police, Military and Vampire.
I also played with my vast collection of action figures and computer games. Those of a dark nature were most appealing.
With my older brother I explored the local area which included a large woodland and numerous graveyards. These were our preferred “playgrounds” as we enjoyed the desolate, eerie and mysterious natural surroundings.
By shops and areas with a lot people we liked to perform pranks utilising a wide range of hilarious products that we acquired such as Stink Bombs, Whoopee Cushions, Fake Chewing Gum etc., as well as our own inventions.
I have always been naturally drawn to the darker, forbidden and most emotionally gratifying sides of life.
Satanism: I discovered that I was a Satanist after reading the Satanic Bible at the age of 13.
I felt that Dr. Anton LaVey echoed and expanded upon my thoughts and opinions and had created a wonderful philosophy that finally championed man's natural animal instincts and shunned the hypocritical self-denial doctrines espoused by the masses.
After eagerly reading more from and about Dr. LaVey and reading, watching and listening to interviews with Boyd Rice, Blanche Barton, Peter H. Gilmore and Diabolus Rex, my obvious natural connection to the Church of Satan became even more apparent and solid and I realised that I had always resonated with the archetype of Satan on so many levels.
Once I reached maturity I became a member and proud Citizen of the Infernal Empire.
Graphic Design:
I currently work as designer in the embroidery and screen print industry.
Through this job I have worked on various promotional projects for clients including Disney, Warner Bros, Electronic Arts & Momentum Pictures.

A few outstanding individuals...

Quotes: "There is a beast in man that needs to be excersised, not exorcised."
Dr. Anton Szandor LaVey"...look at contemporary Satanism for what it really is: a brutal religion of elitism and social Darwinism that seeks to re-establish the reign of the able over the idiotic, of swift justice over injustice, and for a wholesale rejection of egalitarianism as a myth that has crippled the advancement of the human species for the last two thousand years. Is that something to fear?
If you’re one of the majority of human mediocrities merely existing as a media-besotted drone, you bet it is!"

Magus Peter H. Gilmore"The Church of Satan has always looked for knowledge to science, both Western and Eastern. We call this “Undefiled Wisdom,” and this is the ever-deepening understanding of the nature of the beast-called-Man and the Universe in which he exists. We don’t accept faith or mysticism."
Magus Peter H. Gilmore "Have you ever dreamed of killing all the stupid people?
Not just the unintelligent people
But the sort that don't know anything about anything
But seem to have opinions about everything
They're only too ready to offer their advice about how to run your life
And yet look at how they run their own lives
For the most part they've accomplished nothing
They've contributed nothing
Their lives are miserable
But they talk, talk, talk…
At the very least their tongues should be cut out
At the very least."

Boyd Rice "From every set of principles (be it religious, political or philosophical), some good can be extracted. Amidst the madness of the Hitlerian concept, one point stands out as a shining example of this - "Strength through Joy!"
Dr. Anton Szandor LaVey"Aesthetics more than anything else are the common ground between Satanism and fascism. The aesthetics of National Socialism and Satanism dovetail."
Magistra Blanche Barton"There is no "heaven of glory bright", and no hell where sinners roast. There is no Right, there is no Wrong - nor God - nor Son - nor Ghost.
Ragnar Redbeard"It's too bad that stupidity isn't painful."
Dr. Anton Szandor LaVey"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
Albert Einstein "There is no sin except stupidity."
Oscar Wilde "Hell must be a pretty swell spot, because the guys that invented religion have sure been trying hard to keep everybody else out."
Al Capone"They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
the Sinners are much more fun...
you know that only the good die young."
