In Kantian terminology "intuition" is a synonym for sense experience. This is why Kant calls space and time the "forms of intuition": they are the framework for our experience of sensory data.

...so I can't really see him agreeing with a statement like "Intuition > reason". |
This is correct. |

As i said, he believes in these kind of 'things we already know' (a priori stuff) which is what i think you mean by intuition, but he says that its not as important as logic, and rationality. |
This is not really what "a priori" means. "A priori" refers to not to being separate from reason or "prior" to reason, but rather not dependent on empirical observation.
The "a priori / a posteriori" dichotomy refers to the means by which we come to know something; "a posteriori" knowledge requires some kind of interaction with and observation of the physical world (like a science experiment), while "a priori" knowledge is something you can figure out by just thinking (like a mathematical proof). |

I've never really thought about it but that's probably mine too. Do whatever feels good and look out for others along the way. :D |

Really??? I always took a priori to be implicit knowledge... Like essence before existence: lol cheers for the correction :p |

As much as I think the guy's an idiot for some of the stuff he writes in The Satanic Bible, there are other parts I agree with wholeheartedly.
"...he who saith "thou shalt" to me is my mortal foe!" Aww yeah. |
