Satanism, the worship of Satan, developed from the religious doctrine that there are two supreme beings - one good, the other evil. satanism ，崇拜撒旦，发达国家从宗教教义，有两个最高的人-一个很好的，等社会丑恶现象。 It involves black magic, sorcery, and the invocation of demons and the forces of darkness, who are propitiated by blood sacrifices and similar rites. In Christian cultures these ceremonies include the Black Mass, a mockery of the Christian rite.它涉及到黑色魔术，巫术，并援引恶魔和黑暗势力，他们是propitiated血脉相连的牺牲和类似的仪式， 在基督教文化的这些仪式，包括黑人群众，嘲弄了基督教仪式。
Satanists, or Luciferians, believe that Satan is the power behind the processes of nature. satanists ，或luciferians ，相信撒旦是权力背后的过程自然。 What is natural is acceptable.什么是自然的，是可以接受的。 Sin is only what is unpleasant.单是只报喜不报忧。 Unlike the Christian God - stern and moralistic, restraining the free expression of the instincts with a set of difficult and unnatural commandments under threat of punishment hereafter - Satan is the leader of a liberated people who are free and indeed encouraged to indulge in the good things of life, including uninhibited sexual activity.不像基督教神-斯特恩和说教，限制自由表达的本能了一套难度和非自然诫命受到威胁的处罚来世-撒旦是领导一个解放人的自由和事实上鼓励沉醉在美好的事物的生活方式，包括可以不受约束性活动。 The history of Satanism is obscure.历史satanism是模糊不清。 Medieval Christian writers tended to label any dualist sect (such as the Bogomils and Albigensians) as Satanist.中世纪的基督教作家倾向于把任何二元论教派（如波果米尔人，并albigensians ） satanist 。

Worship of Satan and the use of sorcery with evil intent. Probably no subject alarms Christians more than that of satanism and witchcraft. 崇拜撒旦和使用巫术与邪恶意图。大概没有受到警钟基督徒以上的satanism和巫术。 Today many groups claim to be neopagans who belong to such movements.今天，许多团体自称为neopagans属于这类运动。 These groups, along with practitioners of ritual magic, are often conceived as belonging to a vast underground movement with its roots in antiquity.这些群体，随着从业人员的礼仪魔术等，往往被视为属于一个庞大的地下运动，其根源在古代。 In fact, the neopagan movement consists of a large number of small, diverse groups who share the common belief that they are inheritors of ancient religious traditions.事实上， neopagan运动构成了一批小，不同的群体，他们有着共同的信仰，他们的继承者而古老的宗教传统。 Some of these groups are violently anti Christian, but others claim to be the true inheritors of Gnostic Christianity. The traditions to which they appeal in their attempts to legitimate themselves vary greatly. Some claim to be a revival of Druidism, others of Greek religions, or of ancient Egyptian mysteries.其中一些团体是激烈的反基督教的，但其他人声称自己是真正的继承者诺斯替基督教传统，而他们呼吁，在他们试图以自己的合法差别很大，有的声称自己是复兴druidism ，其他人的希腊宗教，或古埃及之谜。 Many simply claim to belong to what they call WICCA, which they assert is the ancient witchcraft religion of Europe.很多干脆声称属于他们称之为wicca ，他们断言，是古代宗教巫术的欧洲。 A few groups claim to be satanists who worship the devil of the Christian traditions.一些团体声称自己是satanists人崇拜魔鬼的基督教传统。
In the new pagans' understanding of the world, Christians have distorted humanity's development by emphasizing the dominance of the intellect over other aspects of the human psyche.在新的异教徒'认识世界，基督徒都被扭曲人性的发展，强调主导权的智力超过其他方面的人的心理。 Christians, they claim, demand that humans subordinate themselves, their emotions, and will to God.基督教徒，他们声称，要求人类服从自己，他们的情绪，并会向上帝。 The new pagans argue that humans must live in harmony with nature.新异教徒争辩说，人类必须与自然和谐共处的。 Such a harmony represents a cosmic orientation which they claim brings man in contact with the cosmic powers of the universe.这种和谐是一个宇宙方向他们索赔带来男子在接触了宇宙权力的宇宙。
For the new pagans, religion is a practical activity carried out through ritual and ceremonial acts to align the participants with the cosmic order and thus release the mystical power within them.为新的异教徒，宗教是一种实践活动，进行了通过祭祀和礼仪的行为，使参与者与宇宙秩序，从而释放了神秘的力量。 The exact rituals, techniques, and beliefs of the new pagan groups vary greatly. But all are concerned with a quest for power and the desire that humans control their own destiny.确切的礼仪，技巧，和信仰的新异教团体相差很大， 但大家都关心的是追求权力和欲望，人类控制自己的命运。
The roots of the new paganism lie in the romantic movement of the nineteenth century and the desire to exalt feelings and imagination over the intellect.根新paganism在于，在浪漫的运动十九世纪和愿望，以发扬感情和想象力比智力。 Thus the poetry of William Blake is often very important to members of such groups.因此，诗的布莱克William Blake往往是非常重要的这些团体的成员。 Contrary to their claims, the history of these pagan movements is relatively short.相反，他们的说法，历史上的这些异教的运动是相对较短。 Rather than representing long historical traditions the majority represent groups only a few decades old.而非代表在漫长的历史传统，多数代表团体短短几十年旧。
One of the most important figures in the growth of modern paganism is Alphonse Louis Constant (1810 - 75), who called himself Eliphas Levi.其中一个最重要的人物，在成长的现代paganism是阿尔路易常数（ 1810 -7 5） ，自称e liphas利维。 An ex Roman Catholic seminarian, he claimed to be an occult initiate and wrote many books that purported to reveal ancient mysteries and occult law.当然，罗马天主教神学生，他自称是一个隐匿发起并写下了许多书的本意是揭示古代的奥秘，并隐匿性法律。 He drew upon theories of magic and the kabbalah, which is an ancient system of Jewish mysticism.他借鉴的理论魔术和卡巴拉，这是一个古老的制度，犹太神秘主义。
In Britain, the growth of modern paganism was encouraged by the foundation of the Order of the Golden Dawn in 1888.在英国，持续增长的现代paganism感到鼓舞的立党之本，秩序的金色黎明于1888年。 This is the most famous of many esoteric groups that grew out of nineteenth century romanticism.这是最有名的许多深奥的群体生长出十九世纪浪漫主义。 The movement's influence extends to the work of such figures as the poet WB Yeats and the notorious black magician Alistair Crowley.该运动的影响力延伸到工作，有这样的数字，因为工务局诗人叶芝与臭名昭著的黑色魔术师阿利斯泰尔柯劳利。 Most ritual magic and satanistic groups trace their origins to these sources.最祭祀魔术和satanistic组追查其来源，以这些来源。
The majority of witchcraft groups have a different and less bizarre history.大多数人的巫术团体有不同的，并不足奇怪的历史。 In England the work of historian Margaret Murray, who claimed to have discovered evidence of a pre Reformation witchcraft religion, and Gerald Gardiner, the proprietor of a witchcraft museum on the Isle of Man, provides the basis for most WICCA groups. Although these authors give witchcraft an apparently respectable history, their works have not stood the test of time.在英国工作的史学家吴美利，他们称已发现证据前改造巫术宗教，和杰拉德加德纳，东一个巫术博物馆，马恩岛，提供了充分的依据最wicca群体， 虽然这些作者给巫术，显然是受尊敬的历史，他们的作品都没有经受住了时间的考验。 They are in fact refuted by competent historians. Today witchcraft groups are usually based upon the journalistic writings of self proclaimed witches who propound a religion based upon the concept of a mother goddess. 他们实际上是反驳主管历史学家今天巫术团体通常是基于新闻写作的自我宣示魔鬼附身者propound一个宗教为基础的概念，一个母亲女神。 During the 1970s this movement was greatly reinforced by the writings of some religiously inclined feminists.在20世纪70年代这一运动，极大地增强了文章的一些具有宗教倾向的女权主义者。
Although groups like that of the infamous Manson family are obviously highly dangerous, the majority of witchcraft and ritual magic appear to be relatively innocuous.虽然集团这样的臭名昭著的曼森家族显然是具有高度危险性，大部分的巫术和祭祀魔术似乎是相对无害的。 In attempting to assess such groups it is extremely important to consider carefully their specific claims. Some self proclaimed "white magic" groups appear to be little more than ill informed people with vague religious sentiments. Others that practice ritual magic may be more articulate but are still essentially harmless.在试图评估这些群体，这是极为重要的是要考虑仔细其具体的索赔， 有的自我宣告了"白色魔术"集团似乎要多一点，比生病知情人士模糊的宗教情绪，别人认为实践礼仪魔术可能会更为明确，但基本上仍然是无害的。 There remains, however, a small number of social deviants who are psychologically disturbed and potentially socially harmful. It is important to realize, however, that the vast majority of people involved in the neopagan movement repudiate and strongly denounce such deviants. Although a rejection of traditional Christianity, the neopagan movement seems to be essentially no more harmful than many other religious groups which also stand outside the Christian tradition.然而，仍然有少数社会变态的人的心理不安，并有可能对社会有害， 它是重要的是要意识到，但是，绝大多数的人参与这项运动neopagan推倒，并强烈谴责这种行为变态，虽然拒绝传统的基督教， neopagan运动似乎基本上没有危害也就更大，比其他许多宗教群体，其中还站在外面基督教传统。
