The Sixth Circle

I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
I'm either fascinatingly interesting, or hopelessly dull; a fact that is entirely dependent upon what type of person YOU are. If you happen to be a Satanist, supporter of Hibernian football club or have an interest in the paranormal, we're quite likely to get along. If you have none of these things, we probably won't.
In an attempt to make a worthwhile contribution to this "About Me" section, I suppose I'd better add in some other bits and bobs that may or may not interest you. For a start, I'm a Satanist (by "Satanist", I mean the definition provided by the late Anton LaVey - the ONLY definition that currently exists, despite opinions to the contrary) and member of the Church of Satan . In that regard, I'm currently working on a project that revolves around the practice of necromantic magic. It will include (amongst other things) rituals for spiritual invocation, evocation and transfiguration with direct reference to spirits of the dead.
Further to that, I also have an Internet Radio broadcast, where I play some of my favourite tracks. It can be found on the Live365 website, with the station ID being "Sixth Circle Radio".
I made my name of infamy in 2004, however, while serving on board the British Royal Navy Warship, HMS Cumberland. While serving aboard her in the Persian Gulf, I became the first Satanist to be officially registered in the British Armed Forces. It caused a bit of an international stir, to be sure, with even the Vatican deciding to start projects on the wicked influence of Devil Worship. If only they knew... In any event, if you choose to read more about it, click:

In other works, I've recently started working on paranormal research for the Haunted Experience , based in the United Kingdom. While providing commentary for the "ghost-hunters", I'll also be providing notes on Demonology and other articles of interest. All additional information can be found on the website, as well as details on future investigations. Naturally, however, you can only use their services if you are a resident in the United Kingdom.
In more mundane actions and reactions, I enjoy the spectacle of Hibernian Football Club . While not exactly a successful side, such teams are always the best ones to watch as they engender stronger loyalty. Not only that, a lack of good times allows you to appreciate them all the more when they eventually DO arrive!
As a standing member of the Royal Navy in Great Britain, I can happily vouch for the quality of life it provides you. Good wages, the chance to travel and progression based on hard work, ability and ambition must surely be preferable to the general nonsense most people are forced to put up with.
Sticking with sport, I also love watching football generally. My other favourite sport is Tennis, with Rugby Union coming in third. My favourite tennis player of all time is Andre Agassi, with my Union team being the Edinburgh Gunners. I don't get the chance to watch these performers as much as the men in Green and White, but they still have the ability to make me happy or sad within the space of one performance!
Finally, I'm an animal lover; something many will find strange considering their limited knowledge of my religion. I currently have two cats (Thom and Suzy) and will probably end up having a few more in future. I'm open to suggestions on keeping any kind of animal, so long as it's legal in Great Britain. To be honest, though, my favourite animal is the White Tiger (pictured below), something I doubt I'll ever be lucky enough to own. I have, however, adopted the four that reside in the West Midlands Safari park.
Funnily enough, I also chose to adopt a cute little white tiger that I found online; his name is Hades and you should feel free to play with him for a little while. Just move the mouse pointer and watch him go!

Anyway, that's me for now on the personal level. The other sections will, no doubt, provide the rest of the information you may like. I could go on and on about how I was schooled, what my parents were like, whether I was a success when I was young, who my partner is and all other kinds of information, but if you're not already asleep with what you've read up until now, that stuff would put you into a coma. However, if you wish to interact from a purely Satanic point of view, you may find it more fruitful to visit Magister Ventrue's "Letters to the Devil". Be warned, however; only Satanists are welcome and you will find yourself ignored, banned, or both if you decide to show up without, at the very least, having read the Satanic Bible and generally understood it.
Furthermore, if you need any Satanic clothing, items and/or paraphernalia, then the Devil himself shops at the Church of Satan Emporium. Again, just click the link below:

A Short Definition of "Satan"
The most common misunderstanding concerning Satanism, is most certainly the projection of a belief in a literal Devil. Because a Satanist rejects the classical idea of "God", it must be assumed that he will also dismiss the classical depiction of the Devil. This assumption, would be accurate; there is little to be gained in worshipping evil for evils' sake.
Therefore, a more accurate description is necessary. Satanists generally view Satan as a force of nature, a part of the natural world that is all around us. It would be easy to point to the Nine Satanic Statements (reproduced above) and claim them to represent Satan. While that's true, there is slightly more to the overall idea.
As a force of nature, Satan will represent raw emotions, emotions that are naturally in contradiction to what "God" would represent. Where "God" views instinctual nature as a weakness, Satan would view it as an inherent strength. While "God" reports unconditional love and forgiveness, Satan would encourage discrimination and discernement when dealing with both. While "God" could be considered humble, content and abstinent, Satan must be considered proud, ambitious and indulgent.
In this description, "God" and Satan are merely ideas, personified to resonate a better understanding of their respective energies. Satanists generally do not believe in a literal or independent entity, as this would be against the Satanic ideals of individuality and free thought, simply by default. Obviously, because a Satanist rejects the ideals of the Bible, he will reject the ideals of the Biblical "Satan".
Interestingly enough, Satan isn't a name; it's a translation. From the original Hebrew, the name literally translates as "Adversary". Within the Biblical context it first appears, this means "Adversary of God". Satanists are, of course, adverserial toward Christianity and its doctrines, but they are also adverserial in the common definition of the word.
Satanists will rarely accept what they are told at face value, typically showing a very deep scepticism and cynicism toward general human activity. The edict "guilty until proven innocent", would most certainly apply, with an inherent analytical need often prevalent. This, quite naturally, makes it very hard to con a Satanist and they are, invariably, stern judges of character. Again, this is indicative of what Satan represents.
In short, Satan as a theistic idea holds little weight with the vast majority of Satanists. The idea of serving such a deity, is contradictory to Satanic philosophy per se, as the Satanist would be serving Satan, as oppose to Satan serving the Satanist. Preferable, then, is the "real world" belief that Satan represents nature, more specifically, human nature and all the instinctual and carnal traits that go with it. As HP Gilmore says, Satanism is a tool for getting the most out of life and servitude to any kind of literal being hardly seems in line with such an edict.
