The Nine Satanic Statements 九声明 LaVey, 1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence! 撒旦象征容许而非禁诫 2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams! 撒旦象征现实存在而非精神的空想 3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self‐deceit! 撒旦象征纯粹的智慧而非伪善的自我欺骗 4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates! 撒旦主张将仁慈给予值得的人,而不是浪费在忘恩负义之人身上 5.

Satan represents man as just another animal—sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all‐fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all! 撒旦认为人类与其他动物无异,甚至有时不如其他四足动物,因为人类的“神性与智能的发展路线”已经使其成为了最恶毒的动物 8. Satan represents all of the so‐called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification! 撒旦承认所有的罪恶,因这腐朽带来身体心智与情感的舒适 9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years! 撒旦与基督是最亲密的朋友,并一直坚守自己的职责 __________________________________________________________________________ The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth 十一统领 LaVey, 1.

Stupidity—The top of the list for Satanic Sins. The Cardinal Sin of Satanism. It’s too bad that stupidity isn’t painful. Ignorance is one thing, but our society thrives increasingly on stupidity. It depends on people going along with whatever they are told. The media promotes a cultivated stupidity as a posture that is not only acceptable but laudable. Satanists must learn to see through the tricks and cannot afford to be stupid. 愚蠢——撒旦九罪之首,撒旦教主罪。对愚蠢的麻木是最坏的情况。无知是一方面,而我们的社会偏偏盛产愚昧。它源于人们对耳闻之事深信不疑或充耳不闻。撒旦崇拜者们必须学会从骗局中发掘真相并拒绝成为愚者。 2. Pretentiousness—Empty posturing can be most irritating and isn’t applying the cardinal rules of Lesser Magic. On equal footing with stupidity for what keeps the money in circulation these days. Everyone’s made to feel like a big shot, whether they can come up with the goods or not. 自负——言之无物虚张声势不仅令人怒不可遏,也有违《小钥匙》的基本规则。如今所有人都想大出风头,也不看看自己有多少斤两。 3. Solipsism—Can be very dangerous for Satanists. Projecting your reactions, responses and sensibilities onto someone who is probably far less attuned than you are. It is the mistake of expecting people to give you the same consideration, courtesy and respect that you naturally give them. They won’t. Instead, Satanists must strive to apply the dictum of ‘Do unto others as they do unto you.’ It’s work for most of us and requires constant vigilance lest you slip into a comfortable illusion of everyone being like you. As has been said, certain utopias would be ideal in a nation of philosophers, but unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, from a Machiavellian standpoint) we are far from that point. 唯我——撒旦教徒时刻贯彻着“以其人之道还至其人之身”的格言。且时刻保持清醒以避免滑入他人都和你一样的幻觉中去。诚如人们所说,乌托邦主义只有在哲学家的国度中才是完美的想法。然而,很不幸地(或者根据马基亚维利的说法,很幸运地),我们距离这点很远。 4. Self‐deceit—It’s in the ‘Nine Satanic Statements’ but deserves to be repeated here. Another cardinal sin. We must not pay homage to any of the sacred cows presented to us, including the roles we are expected to play ourselves. The only time self‐deceit should be entered into is when it’s fun, and with awareness. But then, it’s not self‐deceit! 自欺——这是另一项主罪。我们没有必要对祭品或是食物保持尊敬,包括别人期望我们扮演的角色。自欺唯一合理出现的情形是有意为之的玩笑,但那已并非自欺。 5. Herd Conformity—That’s obvious from a Satanic stance. It’s all right to conform to a person’s wishes, if it ultimately benefits you. But only fools follow along with the herd, letting an impersonal entity dictate to you. The key is to choose a master wisely instead of being enslaved by the whims of the many. 随波逐流——如果一个人的愿望令你受益,那么顺从它是理所应当的。但只有愚者才会顺应大众的意志,让众人对你发号施令。关键就在于,选择一个高明的领导者,而不是被群众的胡想所左右。 6. Lack of Perspective—Again, this one can lead to a lot of pain for a Satanist. You must never lose sight of who and what you are, and what a threat you can be, by your very existence. We are making history right now, every day. Always keep the wider historical and social picture in mind. That is an important key to both Lesser and Greater Magic. See the patterns and fit things together as you want the pieces to fall into place. Do not be swayed by herd constraints—know that you are working on another level entirely from the rest of the world. 缺乏立场——对于撒旦教徒来说这会是莫大的痛处。你必须清楚地看到你是谁,你要做什么,你的存在会带来什么样的负面影响。我们每时每刻都在创造历史。在你的脑海中时刻都铺展着历史和社会的辽阔画面。让一切各得其所,不要人云亦云——你要明白,如今你与世界的大部分人已不再处于同一个层次。 7. Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies—Be aware that this is one of the keys to brainwashing people into accepting something new and different, when in reality it’s something that was once widely accepted but is now presented in a new package. We are expected to rave about the genius of the creator and forget the original. This makes for a disposable society. 摒弃本源——要明白这是给人们洗脑并让他们接受新鲜事物的关键。虽然实际上那些新事物不过是将人们广为知晓和接受的事物改头换面。我们总是被期望对创造者的智慧顶礼膜拜,而忘记事物的本质和初始。这会铸成一个为所欲为的社会。 8. Counterproductive Pride—That first word is important. Pride is great up to the point you begin to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The rule of Satanism is: if it works for you, great. When it stops working for you, when you’ve painted yourself into a corner and the only way out is to say, I’m sorry, I made a mistake, I wish we could compromise somehow, then do it. 多余的自尊——“多余”这两个字很重要。当你与过去完全决裂时,自尊是重要的。撒旦教会的原则是:如果自尊对你有必要,那么很好。然而当你由于它而止步不前,走投无路,唯一的出路是说一句:“对不起,我犯了一个错误,我想我可以做出妥协。”那么就这样做吧。 9. Lack of Aesthetics—This is the physical application of the Balance Factor. Aesthetics is important in Lesser Magic and should be cultivated. It is obvious that no one can collect any money off classical standards of beauty and form most of the time so they are discouraged in a consumer society, but an eye for beauty, for balance, is an essential Satanic tool and must be applied for greatest magical effectiveness. It’s not what’s supposed to be pleasing’it’s what is. Aesthetics is a personal thing, reflective of one’s own nature, but there are universally pleasing and harmonious configurations that should not be denied. 审美缺乏——很显然,在这个令人失望的社会,古典的审美形式无法为你赚取财富。但一对能够发觉美丽,发掘和谐的眼睛是撒旦的基本工具。我们必须利用它来创造伟大而神奇的成果。它不是人们所期望的那种哗众取宠,它就是它。固然每个人有自己的审美标准,它反映个人的态度。但不能否认,仍有让大众感到愉悦和和谐的形式存在于世。
