  Diabolism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diabolism is the act of self-indulgence, and of sacrilege upon the life, to reap gains in the soul, for greater gains than can be achieved in a single life, and with access to excess, in the laws of the diabolist faith.
Diabolism can also mean the act of euthanasia, or suicide, undertaken at the time when the diabolist sees fit to pass on to the diabolist world of souls.
Diabolism is at it states ; a diabolical act of sacrilege, or a diabolical self-indulgence.

 Chapter XVI - From Diabolism To Hysteria
But it was more especially the epidemics of diabolism in medieval and modern times which gave strength to the theological view, and from these I shall present a chain of typical examples.
The religious and social atmosphere was propitious to the development of the germs of diabolic influence vitalized in these orgies, and they were scattered far and wide through large tracts of the Netherlands and Germany, and especially through the whole region of the Rhine.
As a recent typical example on a large scale, I take the case of diabolic possession at Morzine, a French village on the borders of Switzerland; and it is especially instructive, because it was thoroughly investigated by a competent man of science.

 CHAPTER 16: FROM DIABOLISM TO HYSTERIA.
Yet another curative means was seen in the flagellant processions—vast crowds of men, women, and children who wandered through the country, screaming, praying, beating themselves with whips, imploring the Divine mercy and the intervention of St. Vitus.
Parris were possessed of devils: they complained of being pinched, pricked, and cut, fell into strange spasms and made strange speeches—showing the signs of diabolic possession handed down in fireside legends or dwelt upon in popular witch literature—and especially such as had lately been described by Cotton Mather in his book on Memorable Providences.
The proper conditions being given for the development of the disease—generally a congregation composed mainly of young women—any fanatic or overzealous priest or preacher may stimulate hysterical seizures, which are very likely to become epidemic.

 Craciun, "Heavenly Medicine in Hellish Songs: Diabolical Hypertext" - Urban Excursions - Romantic Circles Virtual ...
The devil, as Father of Lies, and Son of Mysteries, is uniquely suited to hypertext and its celebration of the prolific, and of the continual dispersal of truths.
It is here that the method, hypertext, invites us to question and I think exceed the duality of this double vision, for if there is one thing that hypertext shares with the Devil, it is the perpetual challenging of closure and structure.
The double vision of diabolism that Curran so expertly elaborates, I'd like to argue, is not double but multiple.

Some diabolism rules for Ars Magica, these are for just one brand of infernalism and do not replace those from the Maleficium, but instead supplement it.
Diabolism requires a Temple for the rites to be performed in, each demonic gift requires a season to gain it, the diabolist can summon demons and call down curses.
Even ignoring the diabolical plots, you have the Glastonbury Tor, which although fairly outre, manages to be a viable setting in and of itself.

 Glossary - ExWitch Australia (formerly 'Born Again Pagan Ministries')
The desire to become a witch during the medieval period probably stemmed from various sources, but one of the most frequent was that of extreme poverty with the promise that, if one liaised with Satan, he would provide much needed material comforts and betterment of living conditions when all else had failed.

Diabolism requires lifeforce, Enochian entails the use of vows and Hermeticism requires the use of learning arcane formula.
The methodology of the 3 are distinct both literally (game-world wise) and mechanically (rule wise).
Rules for possession are also given but of course there is one problem: No rules are given for evil diabolists (the default diabolism system assumes one uses a PC's own lifeforce) even though it mentions that evil diabolists have other methods instead of sacrificeing personal lifeforces.

When mana is distributed at the end of the century, each deity receives the worship of a percentage of the race's population equal to her percentage of the pantheon.
When diabolism or atheism are "members" of a pantheon, special rules apply to any changes since there are no players to represent these groups.
Thus the demon characters are not considered pantheon members and may not influence it as can member deities.) Diabolism will "agree" to any change in the pantheon as long as it receives at least 5% more of the worship than it currently has.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mystical Theology
It must therefore take note of the erroneous systems of prayer, like Quietism or Semiquietism, and of the self-illusion or deception of souls that mistake the powers of darkness for those of light or the promptings of their own self-seeking for Divine communications.
It is this part of the science that necessitates inquiry into various phases of occultism, diabolism, etc., into which writers like Görres have gone so extensively.
Mystical theology has a nomenclature all its own, seeking to express acts or states that are for the most part purely spiritual in terms denoting analogous experiences in the material order.

Still others claimed that they had secured such demonic alliances not to express political or cultural resistance but to achieve personal empowerment; by so doing, the colonists claimed, the devil had assisted them in undertaking activities as varied as sexual seductions and herding livestock.
Drawing extensively upon case records from the Inquisition's archives, Cervantes adroitly describes and explains many of the varied expressions of diabolism throughout New Spain.
While some readers may find the author's elaborately constructed theological and philosophical interpretations to be occasionally tedious, the book is an important contribution to the growing body of scholarly literature about religio-social life in colonial Latin America.

They would be attracted by the idea of gaining powers which would raise them above the general level, and place ordinary humanity at their mercy, and would rush to acquire the knowledge which exalts its possessors to a superhuman rank.
They would, by its possession, become yet more selfish and confirmed in their separateness, their pride would be nourished and their sense of aloofness intensified, and thus they would inevitably be driven along the road which leads to diabolism, the Left Hand Path whose goal is isolation and not union.
And they would not only themselves suffer in their inner nature, but they would also become a menace to Society, already suffering sufficiently at the hands of men whose intellect is more evolved than their conscience.
