Satanism is interesting.
It encourages me to not change a damned thing about myself. Be a carnal animal nature. If I am greedy, lustful, whatever, be that person because that is who I was born to be but I wonder as I explore if Satanism was/is just a reaction to Christianity because it seems to be everything that Christianity is not.
Being raised in The Craft. and Yes I know that lately my posts have strayed from my beliefs/practices but as far as I am concerned, this is part of my beliefs, exploring other ideas and practices :)
So...Being raised in The Craft I never had any exposure to Christianity until I was 17 and well out of school, I met this cute guy who was a Christian and he wanted me to go to his church with him and I did, it was only later that I found out that they thought I had a demon inside me because I was Gay and that he was straight-supposedly, I mean he let me kiss him and other things so I don't know about that.
It was a TERRIBLE experience but it taught me right there that Christianity was not for me and that it was a bad thing. I needless to say never went back to church!
I also wonder if Satanism is a word that has so much baggage attached to it, maybe it would be better off just saying you are Atheists? Since all Satanists are Atheists? I am still exploring my ideas here and I do not know how long before I have all of the books in the series and have explored this idea completely, what will I end up taking out of the experience with me?
We'll see.
Blessings!

Do That Which Benefits You!
4 More people told me that they cannot handle that I am a Satanist. I didn't care about any of them so it's really no big deal to me, I have learned from Satanism that someone must benefit you or they should not be in your life.
This does not mean that friendship is not valuable because it is, at least to me but I can honestly count just a few people that I consider to be true friends worth fighting for while everyone else would be clients or people I barely know and according to Satanism I should remove these people from my life.
I should always do that which benefits me completely.
I have learned to strive for the things that I want and need in my life and not wait for the doors to open as well. Well, I haven't been waiting for many years, I got tired of sitting on my arse and hoping that something would open up to me but I have had it reaffirmed through Satanism that this line of thinking is right for me.
I just got back in touch with my friend Cassandra. She is an Atheist from Livejournal! of course, Technically Satanists are Atheists but I will wait to reveal to her what I am doing, in reality I wonder how open I should be with anyone about this since I am a Witch on an exploration but at the same time, how can I really know what it's like to experience life as a Satanist if I do not truly live as one?
When I was exploring Christianity, I did the whole thing, I went to church, I prayed, I raised my hands, I listened to Christian music, I even went to a church so they could get the demon of homosexuality out of me and while most people around me thought I was crazy for these measures, I am the kind of person that wants the FULL EXPERIENCE of Life.
I want to LIVE fully and experience as much as I can first hand. Just reading a book on something does not do it for me, I need more and that is what I am going for here. :)

Satanic Ritual Day
Hi!
So I rolled a 6 today which is a Ritual Day. If I lived somewhere with a beach or a forest, it would be an outdoor ritual day but I do not so I have to make due with what I have. I decided that since I am exploring Satanism that I would make the focus of my work today all about that.
I read The Satanic Bible again front start to finish and read some of that woman's blog. I listened to some videos on Youtube about Satanism and just filled my mind with it all day long and then at the end of the day I did my evening blessing ritual and that was the end of that.
I love learning about Satanism, really other religions in general and I love to find ideas and practices that I can adapt into my life but stay firmly dedicated to The Goddess and to Witchcraft.
Blessings!
