Your goals are to be a millionaire and to be a Magister in the Church of Satan?

Well, if you achieve the first, it will be very easy to achieve the second. Indeed, if you just have a discretionary $1000 to spend you will be able to achieve it, since advancement in the Church of Satan is all about purchasing expensive pieces of paper. If you are a millionaire all of the other members will kiss your ass, since you will be the richest person they know, and they are all easily impressed by wealth. You can probably even buy the Church itself with that kind of money.

The only person in the COS who ever made any real dough was Anton himself, and even he died in a Catholic charity hospital, so things must have gone steeply downhill in the end. I think it worked out in the beginning because of his hit book, which in my opinion is very poorly written and devoid of any interesting ideas. It took small pages, large type and lots of spaces between the lines to stretch it out into a book-length manuscript. But some people were impressed with it, I guess!

Some of the leadership have been very effective at producing the illusion of their own grandeur, which is how they convince others that their lifestyle and philosophy is something worth emulating. Like any religion it thrives on the credulity of its laity.

But if you're even going to bother trying to develop yourself or advance financially you should certainly aim for something better than this.

Oh yeah, and being able to strike fear in the heart of your enemies can useful in a pinch (like when someone tries to mug you in a dark alley), but it's better to be so successful and busy doing important things that you can't be bothered to think about your enemies for even 5 seconds.
