In 1667, this concept became especially apparent, as seen in Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem Laon and Cythna, in which he praised the serpent, portraying it as a symbol of Satan and, in his view, a force of good on Earth. Imagine that—Satan as a force of good and a representative of goodness on Earth. His British contemporary, Lord Byron, expressed a similar idea in his famous play Cain, which was published in 1821. This idea gradually developed and spread over time, eventually culminating in the year 1966—the year Anton LaVey founded the Church of Satan in the United States, which still exists to this day. Yes, you heard right: the Church of Satan. For someone like Anton LaVey to publicly announce the founding of a Church dedicated to Satan, we must understand how deeply rooted and evolving this subject is. It has grown and changed over the centuries until it reached this open declaration. To clarify, we are speaking here specifically about those who literally worship Satan as a deity—not the philosophical perspective that views Satan as a symbol of liberty. We are not referring to that atheistic viewpoint which sees God and Satan merely as symbolic representations, used to explore political philosophy, the freedom of peoples, justice, and other political concepts—as seen, for example, in William Godwin’s 1793 work Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, in which Satan is treated as a symbol of emancipation. Those individuals are not the focus of our discussion. What we are discussing is actual Satan worship—a belief system. And yes, as you’ve heard, Satanism is a belief system, one rooted in a firm and coherent conviction, at least from the perspective of its followers. It is not to be dismissed, nor are its adherents to be taken lightly. This belief system forms a core element of Freemasonry and must be understood in order to grasp Freemasonry itself, as well as many aspects of Western philosophy that influence global politics today. In this episode, we will focus on just one aspect—one image—of this belief system. Of course, there are many dimensions and interpretations, but let’s begin right away so we can understand what we’re really talking about. The Satan who is worshipped in Western thought is called Lucifer—at least in the thinking of these circles. Lucifer is a Latin word that literally means “bringer of light” and idiomatically “fire thief.” It’s also a Roman astronomical term referring to the planet Venus, which is one of the major pillars or key symbols of Freemasonry. The term is a direct translation of the original Greek name meaning “bringer of dawn” or “fire thief,” with both meanings being almost interchangeable. And in Greek mythology, he is called

Prometheus ...His story is considered an essential part of the "Satanic Quran" or the "Freemasonic Quran," or a significant page from the sacred texts of these followers. Let us explore this page, what is written on it, and what is said and recounted in it. It is said that Prometheus was one of the Titans, but in the grand epic or the great war that arose on Earth between the creatures and the creators, or between the different beings—whether light beings or dark beings—this war is even mentioned in known religions. It is documented in the Kenara text of the Mandaean sect, a religious book, and is also mentioned in our Islamic texts, where there was a great battle that took place, albeit with differences in the names of the sides involved. During this great war, Zeus, the supreme god, and his allies—the other gods or light beings (angels, according to religious stories)—fought on one side, while the Titans, the dark creatures like jinn and demons, fought on the other. Prometheus, the Satan "Lucifer," was one of these Titans, but during the war, he allied with Zeus. Thanks to this alliance, Zeus was able to win a great victory, and the epic battle ended with Zeus' triumph. The Titans were imprisoned in Tartarus, the underworld or Hell, according to later religious narratives. As a reward for Prometheus' loyalty and for standing by Zeus and his brother in this battle, Zeus honored them. He promised to create animals and humans. Epimetheus created the animals, while Prometheus—who is Satan himself—created humans. During this process, Epimetheus worked very quickly, while Prometheus was slow. As a result, Epimetheus created the animals and endowed them with all the possible abilities, while Prometheus was slow in his work and was unable to grant humans any abilities. All the qualities, such as speed, sharp vision, hearing, and self-defense weapons like horns and fangs, were taken by Epimetheus and given to the animals. However, Prometheus, being slow, finished creating humans without the powers he had hoped to give them. Because of his deep love for humans, he returned to Zeus and asked for help, hoping that Zeus would bestow similar powers upon humanity, as he had done with the animals. But Zeus despised humans, considering them to be primitive and chaotic beings unworthy of any gifts. Despite Zeus' contempt, Prometheus did not give up. His love for humanity was profound, and he began to steal the abilities and tools from the gods of Olympus, such as Athena. But the most famous incident of all was when he stole fire from Hephaestus, the god of craftsmanship and tools

Meanwhile, Hephaestus was crafting Zeus' weapons, holding fire and lighting it as thunder rumbled. Bromeuse followed him secretly and managed to steal the fire. Once he had it, he gave it to humanity, and from there, he became known as the "Fire Thief," Lucifer, or Satan. Venus, according to ancient Roman thought, was his symbol in the sky, as it steals sunlight from the moon. Bromeuse didn't just give humans fire; he also began teaching them many skills. He taught them construction, trade, animal domestication, mineral extraction, astronomy, shipbuilding, seafaring, as well as medicine and healing. But the most important thing he taught humanity was names. He taught Adam all the names, and thus taught humans how to use numbers. Although Zeus despised humans, Bromeuse continued to love them, and so he stole their powers and gave them back. One of the most notable of these powers was fire, which transformed humans from barbaric creatures into creative beings. When Zeus learned of Bromeuse's actions, he was furious and ordered Hephaestus to make strong chains to bind Bromeuse, to punish him for what he had done. This punishment wasn't just chains; there was also an eagle.

A giant came every morning to devour Bromeuse's liver, renewing the torment every day. Bromeuse was happy with this torment because he was loyal to humanity. However, two prophecies lingered in his mind: the first said that a hero would save him, and the second that Zeus would eventually fall. Bromeuse remained in pain on the rock in the Caucasus Mountains, expecting a hero to come to his rescue. One day, one of these prophecies came true: the hero who saved him broke the chains that bound him. Meanwhile, Zeus decided to punish humanity as well, so he presented them with a gift that seemed beautiful on the surface, but was truly a punishment: the gift was Pandora, a beautiful woman who carried a jar containing all evils. The incident of the "Pandora's Jar" occurred, from which all evils such as poverty, hypocrisy, disease, and hunger were unleashed. Thus, Pandora brought all the evils on earth to humanity. Eventually, Bromeuse's second prophecy was fulfilled, as another hero came to save him from torment. At that point, Zeus considered sending a great flood to destroy humanity. But Bromeuse predicted the flood and told Deucalion, a wise man who lived among humans, to build a ship. Deucalion survived the flood, taking his wife with him and taking two mates from each of the animals. Greek mythology continues with the story of Bromeuse, which became the basis for many myths about worship and evil. Bromeuse ultimately became a symbol of humanity, as is the case with Satanism and some Masonic symbols. Although the story ended in Greek mythology, it did not in Western thought. In Western thought, it is said that God, Zeus, wanted to mislead humans who knew the story and the truth, and knew who was the possessor of goodness, love, and beauty, and who was the possessor of evil. Therefore, Zeus, or God, sent them religions and prophets, but with a reversed, false, and misleading narrative. Among the most important of these religions are, of course, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Not only that, but laws were imposed on them, such as marriage, prayer, worship, blind obedience to other humans, and other laws that contradict the principle upon which human beings were created, which is that there is no such thing as halal or haram. The entire story revolves around creativity, innovation, and development, and that humans have the right to live according to their desires. All of this was the work of Zeus, God in Western thought, to mislead humans and present them with a false narrative. In this narrative, Lucifer or Satan stood with Zeus in the great epic and was the reason for its victory. This contradicts religious narratives, which say that he was a jinn and that the angels, after defeating the jinn, took him with them to heaven and began to worship him. In the Western narrative, however, Lucifer or Satan is the one who created human beings, not God Almighty, as religious narratives claim. Therefore, he is the one who deserves worship. In this narrative, Lucifer is the one who taught Adam all the names, not God, as described in religious narratives. He also gave humans the necessary tools, especially fire, and taught them creativity and innovation. He taught them astronomy, arithmetic, animal domestication, medicine, healing, and other things that humans learned at the hands of Lucifer. Lucifer, or Satan, also offered himself as the savior of humanity, but not on the cross, but on the rock. In this narrative, Lucifer is the one who loved humanity, not the one who offered himself according to the religious narrative, where God incarnate, or Christ, offers himself as the savior of humanity. In this narrative, the source of all evil is God, while the source of goodness and love is Lucifer, or Satan. This completely contradicts the narratives

Religious that says that Satan is the source of evil, and God is the source of goodness and beauty.As for the flood, in this Western narrative, the cause of the flood was Zeus or God, and those who survived the flood were caused by Lucifer or Satan, contrary to what religious narratives say, which attribute the cause of the flood to the evils spread by Satan, and that it was God who saved Noah and those with him from the flood. In this Western narrative, there is a prophecy known to humans, but not all humans. It is a prophecy about the Day of Judgment, but not as religious people believe. Rather, it is a prophecy about the day when the truth will be revealed, when all the things we live in will disappear, and the truth and light will appear—the light that is Lucifer, Satan, who was a victim of his pride. On that day, Zeus will fall, and truth will triumph. Why wouldn't God be the one deceiving us, while Satan is the oppressed? Why wouldn't the truth presented to us be misleading, while the truth that existed before the advent of religions is the truth worthy of respect? In this narrative, there is an important reflection and contrast that we must pause to consider, for it is striking and thought-provoking. Why can't their words be the truth? Young people who do not believe in the doctrine or certainty of the narrative of these people, at least doubt its authenticity, as I have just discussed. Of course, the answer to all these questions is easy, but that is not the topic of our episode, and we will have other episodes, God willing, to discuss them. For this reason, Freemasonry does not accept ignorant or uneducated young people, who do not know what philosophy or Greek is. Rather, they choose a specific type of young people to join them, whom we call “the fazlaka,” the person who pretends to understand everything, reads two or three books and talks about everything. These are the ones who will accept the idea of ​​philosophy, Greek, mental liberation, and open-mindedness, and they will accept all these ideas. In the end, they are called educated, but that would be a lie. Freemasonry chooses this type of young people because they are receptive to the ideas we presented in our episode today, which many from different classes might reject and consider trivial. But this type of young people will not reject them. The story we talked about today is very important because it presents them with a narrative that contradicts existing religions. Even if it doesn't convince them with certainty, it will at least make them doubt it and begin to wonder: Which narrative is more accurate? The narrative presented by religions, or the narrative they present to us that existed before the emergence of these religions? Supporters of Lucifer, Freemasonry, or Satanists don't hate people; they want them to know the truth. They want them to know that the laws and regulations, and that all religious narratives are lies and misleading, and that the truth is with them only. Therefore, it was important that we present this episode today so that we understand who we are dealing with.

Their faith in the creed and their certainty is based on facts that they believe. And the intellectual power they offer their youth, a power that seems far superior to that offered by religious forces or religions. This doctrine does not include restrictions by laws, regulations, rigidity, and other things that they believe hinder and delay creativity and innovation. Rather, it embraces freedom and liberation, which are the foundation of creativity and innovation. We presented our episode today to clarify who we are confronting and to understand where our youth may be led. It is not only mockery when we hear about Satanic parties, but we also want to remove the importance and prestige of Freemasonry and Satanism in the eyes of some of our youth. While we believe that Satanism and Freemasonry are merely crazy and fleeting acts, represented by fornication parties, group sex, and other acts, there are other youth who view this subject with awe, especially when some aspects of what we have discussed today permeate them. In their eyes, Freemasonry and Satanism become topics of prestige and importance, and this prestige persists due to the presence of mystery. The more mystery surrounds Freemasonry, the more it adds prestige. This prestige is often intentional, through simple leaks aimed at maintaining secrecy around the subject. Whenever issues arise regarding Satanism, Satanists, Freemasonry, or Masonic groups, the case is immediately closed and no discussion about it ceases. Then we read misleading news in the newspapers about these issues, transforming them into economic, social, and other matters. We presented our episode today based on a belief we hold: that something loses its prestige when it loses its secrecy. Therefore, let us remove the secrecy and mystery surrounding Freemasonry and Satanism and present this episode to you today. Falsehood does not die when we remain silent about it; rather, it begins to reappear, like a snake moving under ashes or like fire under ashes. Suddenly, a smell or smoke appears, and from time to time we hear news related to Satanism and Satanists in Egypt, in our communities, and in the Egyptian countryside. Such as the news reported a few days ago about a party or wedding where Satan was worshipped, with their strange clothing and music. While we find that falsehood does not die, we see it reappear and take a new form.
