Question #3589: Hell

[AskSatanOperator]

Where does the word hell come from? Shouldn't we refer to the "afterlife" in another way? With another word? Sometimes the word hell bothers me because I don't know where it comes from. When I try to debate with Christians and say that we believe in a safe hell, they scoff

Did ancient pagans use this word? Does it have any magical remnants? If not, shouldn't we change it to another name? Hell is a word that carries so much weight

"Hell" is not a burning lake of fire. Hell is not inside the Earth, as some foolish Christians claim in order to frighten people. The Christian concept of Hell is very ludicrous. Some of us, who are close to Satan, have seen Hell" all seem to have had the same experiences. Some places in Hell are dark and illuminated by a blue light, and in other places, there is daylight. One of Lucifer's colors is blue and Demons often appear with a blue light. Blue is a very spiritual color. I saw people sitting around a table in a bar in Hell, playing cards. The room was smoke filled, these people, already being dead, could smoke to their hearts content. These people were in spirit form. Some visit the earth to help humans who are on the Left Hand Path. This is where Satan keeps his own people until we can reincarnate and evolve into godhead.

"Hell" and the "Lower world" are also allegories for the three lower chakras; "Hell" representing the base chakra. The reason for this is the fiery kundalini serpent lies coiled beneath the base chakra and when roused, it can be scorching hot.

Where does the word hell come from?

From the Norse Goddess Hel. They just stole it and added an extra "l".

Shouldn't we refer to the "afterlife" in another way? With another word?

It's not the "afterlife", it's actually a planet where the Gods live and where they temporary take the Satanists' souls and protect them before they are reincarnated.

When I try to debate with Christians and say that we believe in a safe hell, they scoff

That's your mistake. Never debate with xians, because it's like debating with a wall. In fact avoid mentioning anything about Satanism to them. If you have to tell them something, just tell them stuff that debunks xianity, like mentioning their jewsus was stolen from Pagan Sun Gods.

If not, shouldn't we change it to another name? Hell is a word that carries so much weight

That's precisely why we're using it. We're disarming xians of their most powerful weapons by taking words like Satan and Hell and assigning them a positive meaning. Imagine in the future when Spiritual Satanism will be a powerful religion, a xian telling a group of Satanists that they'll go to hell. They'll reply "thanks, we look forward to".

Xians used to be free to talk shit about Satan, Demons and Hell and scare people back to their hoax without opposition. If we reclaim these words and reframe them into something positive, they'll be no longer able to scare people or use these words as weapons.

It's a word derived from the Proto-germanic, old English word "hel", that was a synonym for the other world, or the ethereal world, were the dead would go after the end of their life on this earth. Hellheim in norse mythology was one of the realms of the afterlife. Hel is also a norse goddess, queen of the underwold (I believe the greek Persephone). When christianity came and people were forced to convert, English people began to use the word "hel" as a synonyme of "infernus", that is basically the fictional world of torture and flames created by the Abrahamitic religions. Also the word infernus, before Christianity, represented the otherworld of roman mythology (the greek Hades), were the souls of the dead rested waiting to trasmigrate/reincarnate/live in the grace of the gods (depending on how they spend their life on Earth)
