愚蠢

 Stupidity
在撒旦的罪行中排行第一。撒旦教最主要的罪行。真可惜愚蠢不會帶來痛苦。無知是一回事，但我們的社會在日益加劇的愚蠢。基於人們服從他們被告知的任何事。媒體促使培育愚蠢成為一個態勢，不只是可接受的更是可笑的，撒旦教徒必須學會看穿這些伎倆，

並且不能愚蠢。
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.

自負 

Pretentiousness
空虛的裝腔作勢是最煩人且違反小魔術（日常）基本規則的，現今不斷的花費錢在於社交等同愚蠢。每個人都自認是個大人物，無論他們是否真的能提供這些東西。
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.

唯我

 Solipsism
對於撒旦教徒是非常危險的。將你的反應、解答、感性投射到某個可能遠不如自身的人身上。期待人們回覆如同你理所當然給予他們的一樣的考量、禮貌、尊重是錯誤的。他們並不會這麼做。實際上撒旦教徒必須努力採取「以其人之道還至其人之身」的格言。這對我們大多數人來說是有效的，並且需要不斷保持警覺以免自己陷入其他人會如同自身的幻覺之中。如前人說過，某些烏托邦對於哲學家是個理想的國家，但很不幸的我們離此還很遠（或許是幸運的，基於馬基維利的觀點來看）。
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.

自欺

 Self-deceit
它已經在九訓中提過一次，但值得再次於此提及。另一個主要的罪。我們不應該對聖牛（無理情況下不受質疑者）呈現給我們的任何事物付出任何尊重，包括我們自身被要求扮演的角色。唯一適合自欺的時候是當它很有趣且是有意為之的。

但在這情況下不算自欺欺人！
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!

隨波逐流 

Herd Conformity
在撒旦的立場來看這是非常明顯的。如果最終使你獲利，則可以遵循一個人的意願而為。但只有蠢蛋會隨波逐流，讓非人實體來指揮你。關鍵是明智的選擇主人，

而不是被多數人的念頭所奴役。
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.

缺乏立場 

Lack of Perspective
再次，這罪行可以造成撒旦教徒極大的痛苦。你絕對不能迷失自身為何者何物，以及你可以經由你的存在成為何種威脅。我們每一天的每分每秒都在創造歷史。始終牢記更廣闊的歷史與社會局面。那對於大、小魔術都是一個主要的關鍵。看清模式並結合你所期望那些碎片成你想要的模樣。不要被多數人的束縛所動搖，清楚自身與世界是完全的不同水平。
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.

遺忘正統 

Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies
請注意，這是洗腦人們接受全新且不同事物的關鍵之一，尤其是實際上這些曾經受到廣泛的接受，但現在使用全新的包裝呈現。我們被要求讚揚創作者的天才並忘卻原始的作品。這造就了一次性的社會形式。
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.

適得其反的自尊

 Counterproductive Pride
第一個字非常重要。自尊對於指出自己開始矯正過當的行徑是很有效的。撒旦教的規則是：「如果它對你有益，那很棒。如果對你沒益處，當其將你自身困在角落了，唯一的辦法就是說：我很抱歉，我做錯了，我希望我們能夠用某種方式和解。」
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.

缺乏美學 

Lack of Aesthetics
這是平衡因子的物理應用。美學在於小魔術（日常）中是非常重要的，並且需要培養。很明顯的，在這個令人失望的消費者社會，沒人能從古典美學的標準與形式中獲利。但是能夠追求美感、平衡的眼睛是撒旦不可或缺的工具，並且應該被應用於獲得最大的魔術效果。不是“應該”是令人愉悅的，而是真實的。美學是個人主觀的，反應出一個人的本性，但那些普遍令人滿意的與和諧的型態是不應該被否認的。
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.
