Thread: hey everyone

am new to everything. bear with me. Basicly am looking for someone whose been in satanism for quite a long time who can guide me in my "spiritual" walk or mentor me so to speak. i am wondering how many levayan satanists on this site av dedicated themselves to Satan, etc? when i read this forum hardly anyone speaks about their religiion or what they believe in so i find it difficult to really find the answers am looking for. Also people (particularly satanists)don't seem to take anything seriously and you can tell from the discussions. They even talk about "guardian angels" so am confused. whats up with that??

Hey, it does seem to be a quiet forum, I thought It would be more active myself, though, there are a few gems if you know where to look.

Though, I do pose this question to you, "Why Satanism, especially the Levayan take?" there is more out there than this single view.

You shouldn't be looking towards others in order to teach you things. They can manipulate and mislead. If anything ask for resources in order to teach yourself.

The Holy Guardian Angel is one's spark of divinity... their higher self.. not a literal angel.

Laveyans also don't dedicate themselves to Satan. They might - if they so chose - dedicate themselves to themselves, but it isn't necessary.

Look into Theistic Satanism: Diane Vera on today's new kinds of Satanists or some other forms of theistic satanism. Some good references to other websites are on wikipedia

A lot of people have become busy in their personal lives. So they aren't able to respond.

erm basicly wen researching satanism and different types i was just drawn to levayan satanism duno y. and what do u mean by "there is more out there than this single view?" have u tried satanism for urself and realized its nt useful>> well av been a christian for about 7 years of my life, and probs from the age of 11 i think and the whole time i suffered from lack of self confidence, was lonley, weird, stood out..bt i had desires and i repressed them. becos of parents, teachers, priests, and the thought of going to hell and also GUILT of "sinning". i tried to move away from it thinkign my life would improve bt it still lacks in so many areas. i stil struggle with confidence and i realy want some love in my life, some confidence, close friends i cn trust, etc. tried WICCA bt not sure if its for me. wiccans pretend theyre the angelics of occultism with their angel cards, etc and talk about white magic and this and that when both sides r actually satan (SORRY FOR ANY WICCANS WHO MIGHT COME ACCROSS THIS I HAD TO GO THERE.) i wnted to stop deceiving myself and i realy do want occultic knowledge, esoteric knowledge, POWER (MUAHAHAHAHAHA *EVIL LAUGH*) i want to be happy and reach my ful potential in this carnal body. av been repressed for too long

I have not been a satanist for to long but i will try to help you best i can. Well satan is the self you when your worshipping satan your essentially worshipping yourself satanism is not about worshipping the satan in the christian dogma so to speak. It is about embracing life for what is this is why it is one of the more carnal religions it says to enjoy all of life's pleasures and dont be worried about sin all the time. After all if everyone went by the christian sins and followed them to a tee there life would be hell. Hope this helped to clarify some things for ya if not just let me know and ill help ya best i can.

so u avent dedicated urself to "satan" yet like they do on that JOYOFSATAN site..well in ur terms it wud be dedicating urself to urself..i know sounds crazy. bt r u a levayan satanist? cos am a little of that i really wna read satanic bible and also do the power meds.

Joy of Satan is a theistic satanic organization. They worship Satan.

Levayan Satanism is a ... ''nastika'' organization. In the sense that they believe in the dark forces - but they don't worship them. They may utilize those forces but they don't worship them.

They have online versions of the satanic bible.

Dedicating yourself to Satan is a bad idea. That's very similar to getting married to someone you don't know. I'd wait a year or two ... and make sure you really want to ''marry'' satan. Divorces are a bitch.

I've practiced Lavey satanism and studied various others. I consider myself a Luciferian. I do believe Satan to be a manifestation of the ''current'' or force which is Lucifer. I believe that all of the gods which are adversarial in nature are manifestations of the same current or force. I think the form we give this force/current is more based on culture and the psychological frame-work of the people during that time.

I don't like Wicca because it is too ''fluffy''. It doesn't acknowledge the dark side of things.

am nt looking to "marry" satan or anything lol. is that what dedication to him is about? so in the meantime what shud i do whilst i wait? more research? power meditations? i duno..lol cos i wana be more confident, etc duno what to do. so u havent dedicated to satan yet? lol its amusing how u sed "marry" and "divorce." thanx for talkin to me anyway. i cnt get many satanists who have the time.

It isn't necessarily a marriage to dedicate one's self to Satan. It is just ... making yourself a vessel/weapon/servant ... while you may get powers from Him ... you still will have to be His weapon. If the Joy Of Satan cult is so ''empowering'' they wouldn't make themselves into slaves. Marriage was the best analogy in order to explain what that was like.

I'd say more research. The meditations on that site... most of them can be very helpful and empowering. Some of them are perversions of sumerian and egyptian archetypes and symbolisms. So yes, but do your research and seek the advice of others. Kundalini for example is supposed to be from the right hand path. It is designed to make one dissolve into The All. However, the joy of satan website says it will turn you into a God. If anything, it dissolves the spirit of the practitioner. The right hand path focuses on dissolving the spirit of someone into the All/Higher Power. The Left Hand path focuses on making a person a Deity. There is left hand path Kundalini but it is not like how the Joy of Satan website speaks about.

I think important questions to ask yourself are
- why Satanism? Any of its' forms.. why chose this?
- Are you ready to deal with social stigmas if people ask you about your religion?
- Do you want unity and love with everything? Or do you want power and perfection?
- Do you defy social norms frequently - or are you one who conforms and follows the social norms?

cn i speak to u on msn or something?/ my msn is [email protected] x easier than talkin on this site lol. yeah i get what u mean about being a "weapon" for satan. i guess that is the most difficult part. i dnt wna go insane like what happened to salem burke HP off JOS. tbh i must say to begin with the JOS site kinda bugged me with their talk of aliens and extra terrestial deities, etc bt they sed on the site that u shud dedicate urself 2 satan b4 doin the power meds. i did start doin the power meditations- the beginner ones bt i stopped cos i wnted to do more research and also wait a bit , like 2or 3 months before dedicating
