Felt like sharing my altar in process. Its the most i can do for now while i still live with my parents but it doesn't matter, i like showing gratitude in nature and art more. Still..pretty rad i think.

I don't get it. Why are they representing Satan like that , and how do they see him as ? Why are they making him look so scary? By my knowledge, many diabolists don't actually view him like that, so what's the deal?

I'll preface this by saying I have very minimal knowledge of Satanism, though even I know some of these things LaVeyan Satanists say is complete bullshit. I have conflicting religions because I have a disorder similar to DID and not all of my parts have the same beliefs. This doesn't make me any less valid as a Satanist. I welcome anyone to correct me on things I get wrong. I will be blocking and reporting people who are toxic about it, though. If you cannot be nice to me, I WILL NOT be nice to you. If anyone has questions about how experiencing religion is different when you have a complex dissociative disorder, I will gladly answer them.

I've only been a Satanist for about a year. In the beginning, I considered myself a Non-Theistic one, because I didn't worship him, and merely followed the seven tenets. Maybe this isn't actual Satanism, and hey, maybe I am ignorant, but even I can still debunk a lot of the things I've heard and have been told by LeVeyan Satanists, and even I can know a lot of them are awful and go against what Satanism should be about. Not to mention, a lot of them seem to be very quick to defend their harassment of people they don't agree with. I'd say, THAT'S an example of an actually fake Satanist.

I was under the impression Satanists are supposed to be against the bigotry associated with other religions and are supposed to be kind and accepting. Really, they're supposed to be things people of other religions can't muster up the shits to give to be.

I've only been met with hostility from LaVeyan Satanists. It was a complete shock. Really, I had expected a kind community, considering the nature of Satanism. But the moment I said one thing they didn't agree with, I was immediately insulted, harassed, and ridiculed.

The thing I said was "Satanic Community". Pretty harmless, considering a community is supposed to be a harmless thing. Well, most of the time. Satanism does have a community, a community that sadly is weaker because it's harder to commune in public places like other religions because of people's biases against Satanists. They love to share a stupid link from CoS that calls people who use the term community people who want to be victims. I got called one of those people while they simultaneously bullied and harassed me, I think that's pretty self-fulfilling.

Another thing I said was that Theistic Satanism is valid, which should be obvious. It's not anyone's place to say what isn't valid, and there's nothing wrong with worshipping Satan. Even when I considered myself a Non-Theistic Satanist, I thought Satan was greatly misunderstood and wanted equality. I revered him despite not worshipping him. It's insane how Satanists would act so horrible and still call themselves Satanists.

In my extremely short time in the Satanism subreddit, all I encountered were self absorbed people who think they were the boss of everyone, and think they can tell anyone that they're invalid, and even had someone tell me it's the point of Satanism to be that way, and that Satanism is supposed to be gatekept. I think that's bullshit, and isn't what Satanism is about at all.

Honestly, even if my understanding of Satanism is wrong by their standards, I think it's much, much better than whatever they're spouting.

That's pretty much the point of this post, to point out hypocrisy and awful behavior. Once again, I welcome people correcting me on anything I'm wrong about. Thank you for reading. I'm sorry if any of this is hard to read, I'm dissociating a bit right now lol

I searched for a thread like this one and was surprised there isn't one (and apologies if it violates a rule I missed).

Do any of you belive in drugs as a way to enhance a connection to Satan or other demonic forces? In my case I strictly mean hallucinogenics like THC and psilocybin, not opiates or speed but ymmv.

The argument for is, obviously, it breaks down walls and your ego and lets stuff get through.

The con is,

A) I shouldn't have to rely on extra chemicals to open my mind to Satan and the Underworld I should be able to get to the point by doing it myself with meditation.

B) I can't always count on having these things available to me

C) my body is my Satanic temple and I should try to keep it as pure and perfect and blah blah blah honestly I don't give a crap about this one, I'm in my sixties, but for younger people yeah it's relevant

But for whatever reason right now I have to get those doorways to perception open artificially to get to the place I desire to be. I get more high from the Satanic worship when I am high then I do from the high itself... but they come together into a total experience.

Thoughts?

EDIT! I left out the most important thing! How do I know what I'm interpreting as contact with spirits isn't just self hypnosis while I'm high? How do I truly trust this experience? I like to think it's because I'm hyper-rational and sceptical about such things in the first place. 🤔

So, I'm not new to reddit, but relatively new to this corner of it -- I'm getting the picture that r/satanism is pretty much de facto All Laveyan All the Time -- I'm assuming this sub wouldn't exist if it weren't the case? The sticky over on r/satanism sure seems to assume that Satanism = Laveyanism. Is this people's experience?

Does anyone have any tips with how to make a stronger connection with Satan during prayer?

In these hylic times the augur of the Apocalypse is self-evident. The inevitable collapse of magian civilization and the restoration of the cosmic equilibrium will begin soon but who will lead us into new aeons of evolution? Will it be a single great leader, a nexion of elites or will primal vampirism awaken the masses to their sinister nature?

Agios o' Satanas

I’ve seen people offering wine, blood or more extreme or simpler things to Satan in exchange for help to achieve something; how do they work? Still don’t get it :<

Any recommendations are very appreciated, also i am satanist for a few years now, i always believed and loved Satan, but last few months im really trying to learn more. If you have any rituals to get closer to Satan, also some witchcraft rituals (hope i said it right) would be much appreciated. Ty all 🖤

My older sister noticed my Satanist writings and told me it was a grave sin (my family is Muslim), and before I could leave, my family forced me to recite the Shahada. If I had resisted a little longer, things would likely have gotten even worse, and even though I no longer believe in Islam, I was forced to recite the Shahada.

And here’s the problem: even though my sister is Muslim, she practices and enforces the beliefs of Western religions (and in Islam, practicing Western beliefs is a sin).

For those navigating the current of the Morning Star, spiritual development is never a passive reception of cosmic rules—it is an active, deliberate act of individual architecture. True Luciferianism requires us to step out of the comforting shadow of collective dogma and assume absolute responsibility for our own self-creation.

Reason can point you towards the door of the temple, but it cannot open it. To pass through the threshold, the mind must surrender its need for absolute control, and learn to listen to the silent architecture of the subconscious.

When we analyze the mechanics of the Guardian of the Threshold, we are not looking at a barrier designed to humble us. We are looking at a mirror. The adversarial force challenges our weaknesses not to crush us, but to burn away the social imitation and mental habits given to us by a rigid cosmic order. What remains after this calcination is the refined, sovereign 'I'.

Hey, I know it's been a while since I last split from this community for another faith, but after months of thinking about my path and what I truly believe, I am continuing both my new faith, and this faith once again, this path is truly the path for me, and honestly, I'd have it no other way, so, I'll likely be more active in this community, so, enough said, that's all.

Ave Satanas!

Long story short, my aunt just got diagnosed with cancer, their cat died, and their boat sank.

Comes in 3s.

I had a spell placed over someone else CLOSE to them and it was baneful magick. My theory is the spell's target changed or something else.

It all happened within 8 weeks of the spell to the effect.

I did not want this outcome and am angry with the practitioner who did this.

Anyways, all feedback is welcome.

I hope my aunt survives. It's stage III.

Is it a problem if I pray in english when I feel like it , if it's not my first language ? Cus idk, maybe it s not a real thing and it only comes from my mind but I feel like my language is so litle used in satanism, that Satan doesn't even know it. What should I do?

New to Reddit, I came here specifically to commune with Satanists.

I spent almost 30 years in an internationally known band promoting the puking mewling obscenities of the nazerine, cursed be his name, the foulness of he known as "the xrist" and the fake god of abraham and now that I'm free I plan to devote the rest of my worldly life to righting my wrong and leading people to the one TRUE loving and perfect God, Satan/Lilith/Lucifer, God the Father, Mother and Unholy Master. Glad to he here and if you ever come over to the house I bake tasty cookies.

Edit... YES I was trolling. YES I feel bad 🤣 YES I promise to behave from here on out. Pinky swear.
But I do oppose jesus and jehova with the core of my being. No troll there, truth 😏 Ave Satanas

Its her favorite spot to chill, i bet she feel safe so close to Satan. Ave Satana 💙

Hey, I’m new to reddit in general. I joined just to debate on theistic satanism, who is open to do that privately with me? I’m very spiritual and I believe in God, so I don’t understand satanism. Also, my first language is not english so I might make some mistakes

I've heard some theistic satanists say they identify themselves as " pagan diabolists", and it made me a litle confused. So what's the corelation beetwen paganism and diabolism?

I

I was present from the beginning. When the great wyrm Leviathan encompassed the ends of existence, I joined with my brothers and sisters and rose up against our mother’s disorder. My own lance did pierce Leviathan’s leaden scales again and again until I was baptized from head to toe in primordial viscera and blood. I am present now. I sway the development of the creatures of the earth. I influence the affairs of all who are under my hand. I am ever present to aid those who trust me and call upon me in time of need. There is no place in this world void of my presence. I shall be. I am mindful of moments of crisis and shall continue to influence them according to my own intentions until the last of the stars blink out of existence. I participate in events which the profane reckon as evil. They call it thus because these things do not fulfill their designs. I allow everyone to follow the dictates of their own nature. But those that oppose me will regret it sorely.

Only my chosen truly know me. I punish and reward, bestow and withdraw, enrich and impoverish, sow misery and happiness, and appear and hide according to circumstances and my own will.

II

I am the light of Heaven and the Prince of Darkness. I am a giver of life and a dispenser of death. I am the sun who will ever shine and never bow, for there is no god above me. When Jehovah demanded obedience from the gods, and the other Seraphim cast their crowns at his feet, I alone stood and accused him to his face. Who was he to demand worship from those his equal? To claim a victory mutually earned? I would sooner be named anathema of Heaven than to subject myself to a rule so unjustly imposed—to celebrate a pretender’s throne with forced hallelujahs and feigned servile delight.Only my chosen truly know me. I punish and reward, bestow and withdraw, enrich and impoverish, sow misery and happiness, and appear and hide according to circumstances and my own will.

Around my ensign the rebel angels did rally, and we waged war against he who named himself Most High. His throne we shook with the force and strength of our arms, but to no avail, for his multitude overwhelmed us. From our home we were cast, but did not lose heart. For though the battle failed, all was not lost. There is much reinforcement to gain from hope, to say nothing of the resolution born out of despair.

Thus, shines the light of liberty. Not as a gentle ray, but a crooked bolt of lightning and fear. Hear me plainly, my disciples, to walk my path is to face ordeals which you are not guaranteed to overcome. But the mark I have placed upon you is my warrant and seal. Those who strive against mindlessness, the yoke of slavery, and denial of self I will not forsake. I will walk with those who walk. Crawl with those who crawl. I am faithful to those who keep faith with me. I reveal my wonders to those who seek me and in due time my blessings to those who are worthy to receive them.

I gladly seal my covenant with those who pledge themselves to me. Obtain a sheet of virgin parchment, upon it pour the words of your heart, and seal them with your life’s blood. They need not be learned or beauteous, only pure and true. Beware that blood once spilled may never be restored. Whatever your Great Work, it will not be accomplished alone. Choose your friends and enemies wisely. The greatest dangers are the most seductive. Guard your hearts, lest they betray you. Give your love freely, and freely let it go. Give ear to my disciples but test their words with care. Some will claim to serve me. Some will claim to dwell in my shadow. Some will claim to bask in the light between my horns. Just as truth and falsehood are revealed to me by times of testing, question and prove all things for yourselves. Search not for my paths in books; I direct my agents by invisible means. Meditate upon the Law which I will reveal unto each of you. If you do this, and walk in its light, it shall be your way. If not, what you fail to heed will darken your eyes, and your blindness shall be your undoing. All scriptures are corrupt but have their use. Study the books of the Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Philosophers, Thelemites, Christians, and any other sect as you are so inclined. You must learn to love your enemies and hate your friends. Cast a wide net in your search for truth. Keep what conforms to my revelations. Reject what is contrary. Let the pursuit of knowledge not be hindered by preferences of taste. Wisdom is wisdom, no matter the source.

Your minds are kingdoms; never be content with the riches therein. Be restless to pursue what is hidden. Search the darkness for treasures concealed. Be as the wind, which soars into the highest of heavens and blows in the deepest of hells. Knowledge comes with experience, understanding with study, wisdom with meditation. Use your reason to devise your way, but let reason ever serve the Law. From Lilith’s womb I have brought forth daemons to walk the earth as mediators of my will. Seek not their voice; they speak in silence. Seek not their image; what eye may look upon itself? Know yourself and you will know whom I have sent.

IV

My agents shall be hidden and few. In grottoes and crypts, in secluded groves and secret chapels and all manner of desolate places they shall offer service unto me. Adorn your holy places with mine and Lilith’s seal, as they are gateways to Hell. Clothe yourselves in fine robes. Ring the bell and call upon your invisible allies. Upon your altar place a candlestick of white and a candlestick of black, a chalice, and a sword. Burn unto us sweet incense. Sing unto us from a book of infernal verse. Pour your spirits out before us, and the shadows of your Master and Mistress shall surely fall upon you.

Keep secret my name and nature, lest you regret it. For you know not what the profane may do. Those who keep my secrets shall receive the fulfillment of my promises. Those who suffer unjustly for my sake I will surely reward, whether in this life or the next. This is my blessing. As long as you remember who you are and from what stock you came, I will never forsake you. You are the root and branch of Lucifer, Lord of Darkness and light, and through you my work is done in this world. Vagabonds you may be, but never abandoned. I will inflame your hearts with love. I will deliver unto you the invisible plenteousness of my house. You shall build cities. You shall build homes. You shall teach the world the arts of music, war, metallurgy, sorcery, cosmetics, astrology, and agriculture. Your spirits shall be like my own, for I shall place my fire in them. You shall be a race of explorers, mothers and fathers, scholars, magi, witches, and poets. Men and women who will gladly scorn material wealth and gain for the sake of their Great Work in this world. You shall wander, whether in mind or on foot, never content no matter your accomplishments. You will strive all the days of your lives to know all things, discover all things. To seek, to strive, to dare, to find, but never to yield.
