I am sick of this, but ah well.
SATANAEL IS NOT EVIL!
The one we call Satanael (most abbreivate it to just "Satan") was originally called Samael. Samael was a great God (Archangel for you Bible-belts;) and very friendly with the Creator. Upon the Creation of mortals, the Creator and Samael realised that, as mortals were not born as aware as Gods, they needed to be taught, as to fully appreciate life. Samael decided he would be the one to do this, he created a system of the after life, reincarnation and Hell. [Hell evil? That is highly amusing, Hell is where some certain Souls go to learn from there mistakes-no torture goes on in Hell. Hell is like an equivalent of a "rehab centre"] . So Samael "fell" from the Heavens, from Paradise, to help those beings currently lesser than he. It is said that in light of his new position, he changed his name to Satanael.
That is one interpretation of the events, as with all things Godly the actual entities and events are too large to fit into a human mind and thus they must have our brand of order marshalled onto them ("dumbed down") so we can begin to understand them.
Or just consider the logic. A great Creator (who a fair few believe is "good") exists with infinite power. Why would such a being allow an injust, cruel entity to exist? It doesn't-there is no evil Devil bogeyman responsible for all of humanities crimes, humans are perfectly capable of evil on their lonesome and the Devil is a being dedicated to help such beings on their path to enlightenment.
I hope I have cleared some things up:)

thats true all those cristians say that magic is satanic but it isnt. magick is to help people and some of the spells are for self defence if neede to killa demon or any evil things. dont belive what they say that magick is satanic it isnt.

perspnally I think satin was made up by controlling priests.But then thats my opinion.
The Bible also says God helps those who help themselves.If we are using majick to help ourselves are we not doing what God said in that statement? HEHEHE....
