Satan's blessings to all in the group.
I need to clarify something in preparation for constructing my ritual circle. In High Priest Vovim Baghie's 'Satanic Ritual' he has the celebrant invoke the Four Ruling God Powers of Duat:
Father Satan - East
Enlil Sama - North
Astaroth Sama - West
Azazel Sama - South
But I have read other circle constructs in whihc the Four Directions of Hell are used:
Satan - South
Lucifer - East
Belial - North
Leviathan - West
Which should I be using? Lucifer seems appropriate for the East because he is the Morning Star, herald of the Dawn which represents enlightenment. As I understand it, the Four Directions of Hell represents:
Belial - Earth, the spirit of the material world
Satan - the life-force that surges through creation
Leviathan - the Kundalini power, the primal energy in the body
Lucifer - the transmution of the that life-force into illumination.
I am also intrigued by the used of the word 'Sama'. Does it come from Hebrew (as in SAMAEL) or does it originate in Buddhism (as in the Sama Veda)?
