All other religions bind you with rules; "Do this. Don't do that."

The Devil alone says "Do as you wish. For I will never judge."

--Belial

THE other day I went to a museum in my town and they had a gar in the tank and it was just swimming around with a rock in its long snout

This is a ward my husband created using a Crawdad Claw and a piece of old Lead that he pounded flat and ritually inscribed—both of which were gifted to him by the river that initiated him. The ward was additionally composed from, and underpinned by, the virtues of Wild Rose .

Greetings all,

Just a reminder, there is no dress code for theistic Satanism. You are not required to wear all black, you are not required to dress modestly (or immodestly), you are not required to wear a veil or any religious clothing at all.

Please dress however you feel comfortable and do what makes you happy. Personally I prefer to dress a bit more modestly and I wear a headscarf on the daily. Your practice is not affected by your appearance or other people's perception of you. You practice will only be affected by your own devotion and willingness to study and apply your knowledge.

May Lord Satan's light guide you even in the darkest of times.

Ave Satanas!

if you want young queers to want to associate with elder queers then maybe the culture shouldn't be so ridiculous and over the top. I get second hand embarrassment from drag queens and leather daddies and kinksters in puphoods acting like they represent all gays

I would much rather be represented by drag queens, leather daddies and pups than by petulant cowards afraid of their own reflection. You are talking about people who never had the option of being seen as "normal people who just happen to be gay" and channeled their pain into self expression, community and art. And who are you? You define yourself not in terms of who you are and what you create but in terms of who you are not and what you lack. These people you hate only seem larger than life because your life is too small and insignificant to fit them.

while i’m at it though, and it’s been awhile since i talked about it: the satanic temple and the church of satan are both led by fucking edge lord losers, power-crazed white men who think they’re god and entirely miss the point of calling out the problems within organized christianity while falling into the exact same problems. the leader of the satanic temple, which is often purported as some folk hero and anarchist, is extremely antisemitic and is a sex abuser. he’s also an amazing scam artist like the televangelists of the 90s. both organizations prey upon people who have been abused by religious institutions, sell a promise of acceptance and freedom, then do the exact same thing
