Today I had the opportunity to sit down for an interview with the YouTuber ConnectionLN. The conversation was wide-ranging and thoughtful, focusing less on the Triumvirate of the Dawn specifically and more on Satanism as a whole: its history, its branches, its philosophical foundations, and the personal journeys that lead people toward it.
We discussed Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan as an early modern foundation of organized Satanic philosophy, along with the later emergence and evolution of The Satanic Temple and its emphasis on activism, legal advocacy, and justice-centered ethics. From there, the conversation turned toward my own path.
I first began exploring Satanism in 2015 during the U.S. presidential campaign. At the time, I was searching for a framework that clearly articulated my opposition to authoritarianism, particularly the growing alliance between political power and Evangelical Christian nationalism. I wanted something that affirmed autonomy, reason, and resistance to imposed authority. That search led me to The Satanic Temple, whose non-theistic worldview and emphasis on justice resonated deeply.
Later, I spent time with The Luciferian Dominion and explored Demonolatry more broadly. Those experiences expanded my understanding of symbolic practice, archetypal interpretation, and personal spiritual structure. Over time, I realized that while I valued the atheistic philosophy and ethical clarity I found in TST, I also appreciated the inward, personal dimension present in Luciferian traditions. At the same time, I found Luciferianism alone too narrow to express the full range of principles I wanted to embody.
That realization eventually led me to articulate a triadic archetypal framework centered on Lucifer, Lilith, and Leviathan. Together, they represent knowledge, liberation, and collective protection. This synthesis became the conceptual foundation for what is now the Triumvirate of the Dawn.
Overall, the interview was engaging, respectful, and intellectually substantive. I appreciated the chance to discuss both philosophy and personal experience in a space that welcomed nuance rather than caricature.
I will update this post and add a link once the interview is published.
