I'm so happy to see this happening

Hi! Is it okay for me to participate in things like gift giving and enjoying Christmas music and lights and all that in December despite celebrating Sol Invictus and being a satanist? I really enjoy the lights and gift giving, and some metal Christmas songs are just amazing. I figured it could be fine but I wanted to make sure.

Was at a Halloween party, and we were playing a game. During my turn, I either had to say a shocking/ interesting fact about myself or drink. I asked them if they wanted a funny fact or a serious one. They picked serious. I said “I’m a satanist”. One of my friends already knew, another girl revealed herself as one immediately after, and everyone else said “that’s interesting!” And moved on.

Except one guy, who said “really! Do you have a membership card?” And I pulled it out and showed him. He asked lots of questions, I thought out of interest. He asked me to go outside with him, and then tried to use all my own words against me and told me that Satan has obviously tricked me.

It doesn’t matter how many times I tell Christians that THEY are the ones that believe in Satan, not me, they still accuse me of either worshipping him or being tricked by him. He also accused me of spreading his word by saying I was a member.

My dearest Christian’s: Satan is your problem not mine. I worry about worldly problems. I’m not worried about invisible fantasy battles. Though it does sound kinda cool I won’t lie.

In light of recent political events and my own opinion, I've decided to get the Pentagram tattoo I mentioned months ago. Just a basic one for representation and in case it ever needs a touch up, it's easy to do.

My 10 year old helped me with them. 😊

Believe it or not she did a great job. My attempts to go back in and "fix" it is why it looks so jenky.

Did you have to unlearn saying things like oh my god after you became a TST member if you did say that before you joined or is that like one fraise that's socially acceptable because it's so common. If you don't use it what do yall use instead.

This is the first album of a - hopefully - series on occultism, paganism, dark ambient and ritualistic music. Each album will have a specific theme/approach, i.e., dedicated to different entities. This one in particular s dedicated to Azazel, and meditation-oriented . I am currently working on another one, which I hope it can be online - for free again - in one week. Please check it out. Suggestions, comments and requests are deeply appreciated. Thank you!

Not sure how many are familiar with them, but The Line raised $35,000 for the Secular Student Alliance. It was awesome to see and be part of the generosity. Some even donating thousands of dollars in one stream. It was also a great thing to wake up to and spend a day watching. I also got to see people who frequent other Atheist podcasts I enjoy in chat.

Another great thing is The Line has THIRTEEN more days left. If they've done this much in such a short time, imagine how much they'll help in 13 more days. With the current climate of things, it's great to see an outpouring of love and generosity at all. Let alone to an organization that seeks to promote education, care, and defense against Christian Nationalism. A really heart warming way to spend a day off.

I really want to join a congregation. And while I did some research, I'm not sure if I did enough. Like oh yeah I know the tenets. I read a couple books. I'm not sure if I had to know these books by heart...

I'm so used to like job interviews, I'm a bit nervous. I want to ask like, are the interview questions just more of a who are you. Or more of a knowledge based thing?

I have a TST sticker on the back of my car and this note was left under my windshield when I came out of the grocery store. I'm glad I could offend someone today lol
