- Greater_and_lesser_magic abstract "Greater and lesser magic (known also as high and low magic or collectively Satanic magic) is a system of magic within LaVeyan Satanism. Outlined in The Satanic Bible, Anton LaVey defined magic as \"the change in situations or events in accordance with one's will, which would, using normally accepted methods, be unchangeable.\" This definition incorporates two broadly distinguished kinds of magic: greater and lesser. Greater magic is a form of ritual practice and is meant as psychodramatic catharsis to focus one's emotional energy for a specific purpose. These rites are based on three major psycho-emotive themes, including compassion (love), destruction (hate), and sex (lust). These rites are often elaborate and formal, utilizing a ritual chamber, props, and specific actions and recitations, carried out a certain time and place. The ritual is referred to as an \"intellectual decompression chamber\", where skepticism and disbelief are willfully suspended, thus allowing the magicians to fully express their mental and emotional needs, holding nothing back regarding their deepest feelings and desires. According to LaVey, one of the goals of ritual magic is \"to isolate the otherwise dissipated adrenal and other emotionally induced energy, and to convert it into a dynamically transmittable force.\" LaVey espoused the view that there was an objective reality to magic, and that it relied upon natural forces that were yet to be discovered by science. He believed that the successful use of magic involved the magician manipulating these natural forces using the force of their own willpower. LaVey also wrote of \"the balance factor\", insisting that any magical aims should be realistic.Lesser magic is the practice of manipulation by means of applied psychology and glamour (or \"wile and guile\") to bend an individual or situation to one's will. Within this system of magic, the terms warlock and witch are most commonly used by, and to refer to, male and female practitioners, respectively.Contrary to popular belief, magic and ritual within Satanism does not involve animal or human sacrifice or the act of summoning demons. LaVeyan rituals sometimes include anti-Christian blasphemies, which are intended to have a liberating effect on the participants. In some of the rituals, a naked woman serves as the altar; in these cases it is made explicit that the woman's body itself becomes the altar, rather than have her simply lying on an existing altar. There is no place for sexual orgies in LaVeyan ritual. Neither animal nor human sacrifice takes place. Children are banned from attending these rituals, with the only exception being the Satanic Baptism, which is specifically designed to involve infants. Because Satanism is an atheistic and materialistic religion, phenomena that would be considered paranormal or supernatural are not applicable within Satanic magic; it is instead asserted that any unexplained phenomena which might occur as a result should be thought of as \"supernormal\".".

The word 'fascination' has a similarly occult origin. Fascination was the term applied the evil eye. To fix a person's gaze, in other words, fascinate, was to curse them with the evil eye. Therefore, if a woman had the ability to fascinate men, she was regarded as a witch." - Anton LaVey".
