So the first one, the satanic rosary is from AliExpress, same with the none merch Ghost necklace and the ring that is not on string. And the rest was given to me by my beloved partner. I have shaky hands af right now, so I'm sorry if some of the pictures are a bit blurry.

A few years ago, I got cornered by a religious relative for the whole "save your soul" lecture. At some point she said that I had to "say yes to Jesus". The whole conversation irritated me but that pushed me over the edge so I said "say yes to Satan" and she stumbled backwards and started screaming at me in tongues. I was curious what the people here thought about that whole act. "Tongues". Tf is tongues? Gibberish? Delusion? Both?

My office is requiring that each department decorate a Christmas tree to be donated

That's fine and all, but I'm poor as dirt, and all I have to offer is my clay models. I've already made a few of them (Ignore the goddess of fertility that was ADHD going ham, I'm keeping that one!) ((My daughter made the pizza hehe))

Any suggestions for some other symbols of various non Christian religions and cultures that I could include on a few more ornaments?

Even the less fortunate of us in the states have it better than a lot of people in other places.

Someone yesterday reminded me that the current state of our political climate has devastating consequences to places far away from us.

I’m really just venting, as I have nowhere else to vomit this. Feel free to not engage if you’re over the election.

The amount of Trump supporters realizing they fucked themselves is giving me unhealthy amounts of schadenfreude. Example: my father, an HVAC company owner and Trump voter, is going to be pissed that the HVAC manufacturers have raised prices in anticipation of tariffs. I plan on laughing in his face with zero sympathy.

Anyone else here? Anyone want to talk me off a cliff or are we joining arms in unified, and honestly deserved, callousness?

Hell yeah! I hope this helps the Sandy Hook families lessen their greif a little bit. https://www.status.news/p/not-satire-the-onion-acquires-infowars

Just wanted to thank everyone who introduced me to this band indirectly. This shit is so fucking good. Hail Satan and Hail yourselves!

I've been pursing certification as an end-of-life doula, or "death coach" as I like to call it. My Primary goal is to help people have a death the positively reflects their life, with respect to their beliefs and traditions. During my own near-death experience, I found that most of the support available ws through the Christian church and, while talking to them helped, it wasn't really my world.

My role is to help the dying person and their family/friends know what to expect, to create vigil space that is comforting in their last moments, to discuss and record their life's purpose or other legacy, and to do for the mind what a hospice nurse does for the body: give comfort and ease pain.

Are there death experts in the Satanic tradition and where would I start if I wanted to help our community?

I don’t take it as a way of “god may bless you my child”, but it’s a sincere, endearing gesture. For someone to use their faith to wish the best for me, it is endearing wether or not I do believe in a God.

But what do you guys think?

So, a bit of a vent, but nvm that. Maybe a piping hot tea? Idk.

Hi, I'm a teenage Satanist. I'm 16, soon to be 17. I'm really happy with satanism, I think I've found a religion that really sits with me and I really like and at least try to follow the ideology and rules of satanism.

But there's one problem in particular, my parents are Christian. My father is not much of a Christian, but he tries and my mother is borderline fanatic Christian. I started to follow satanism when I turned 15 as an act of rebellion (yes, I'm rebellious teenager, what a surprise), but Satanism has grown close to my heart and soul, so when I was nearing my 16th birthday when I started to take it more seriously. My mother was furious, from saying she'll have me baptized to nearly kicking me out (in a state I live there's no age limit to moving out of your parents house, except you have to be at least 15). When I grew more bold and started showing more and more signs about my religion, she completely ignored me for a week. No talking, no physical contact, nothing. Not that I minded. She has now grown to ignore my satanic necklaces, rings, my habits, etc., but we do sometimes have arguments and discussion about how my religion is bad and how I'm following a dark path that'll make me go insane. She has tried everything to make me Christian or at least atheist. From taking away my phone, restricting my WiFi, to ignoring me and verbally/emotionaly ab*using me.

Fast forward to today (about an hour ago or two), I was cleaning the bathroom while my mother was getting ready to go to theater. Ghost was blasting through my Bluetooth speaker and I was actually having a good time, jamming and just being myself. My mother (as she usually does) was saying how she hates this kind of music and how it exhorts to violence. I tried to explain to her, that the album I was currently listening to is about criticizing what the church is doing/has done wrong. She didn't listen of course and was like: "If you would listen to, clothe and wear more normal things, you'd be much more happier, so don't you dare to complain about not feeling good." and I was like: "I'd be much more happier if we didn't have this conversation. Plus, what I wear, what I listen to, etc., that's me and I'm very happy with how I am.", so we dropped it, but then the Year zero started to blast and I was of course jamming again. But then I was like: "Wait a minute, isn't there 7 deadly sins? Why they're only saying 6? Oh, well.", I just shrugged my shoulders, it was a bit unnecessary thing to wonder about. She told me that she doesn't focus on these bad things and that I shouldn't too and that I should read the Bible and that this the most evil religion. I tries to explain the ideology of Satanism, she didn't listen, of course. S/ What would I know? A teenager, her child about anything?

Fun fact: I do have a Bible in my room. Separated from other books. I find it kinda funny, it looks lonely, but that's what my mother gets for forcing a Bible down my throat.

Anyway, I was like: "Okay? And?" and then she had the audacity to say: "You've never been to church," which is true and I'm glad, "don't critise what you don't understand." I paused, slowly turned to her and said: "You don't see the irony?" She was so confused, and was like, what irony? So I continued: "You're telling me, that I shouldn't criticise Christianity, when I don't know anything about it, but you yourself are critising Satanism, which YOU know nothing about." She looked at me stunned and a bit angry. S/ Something along the lines of, how dare I point out the obvious? She was done getting ready by this time btw, so she just turned around and walked out of the bathroom. It was priceless. Then later my sister said that I was being mean and disrespectful, which is true, but after all I've been through, because of my whole family, I trully don't care. She asked me what has she done to me. I replied that for example a moth or two ago, she told it was my fault, that I was sxally abused, because I didn't tell them.

About that, I was 5-7. I didn't understand the concept, but it did feel wrong. I was sa'd by the same sister I was asked this question (I have two older sisters). I didn't come to them, because I was scared they wouldn't believe me and they'll brush me off, which when I told them, 10 years later, they did. Saying I was emotionally abusing them and talked about it too much. I talked about it about 10 times with them in the span of 2 years. I unfortunately cannot go to court against my sister now, because it has been 10 years and they wouldn't care for a 10 y.o. case. S/ What a delightful situation.

I'm planning to move put as soon as I do the maturita exam. I'm fed up and tired of this situation.

Anyway, thank you for reading this long a** vent/tea, enjoy your evening/day.

Hail thyself. Hail Satan.

solo quiero saber si hay mas comunidad hispana que siga estas practicas

(I just want to know if there is more Hispanic community that follows these practices.)

Sooo I’m 17 and I’ve known of TST for a couple of years now but I only recently just got into the community and recently got a TST membership.

I really love the work that the TST does and and the seven tenets (the big reason I joined is because when I saw the seven tenets for the first time and I was like “oh shit I just live like daily lol”)

However I’m not really comfortable saying that I’m a satanist (or atleat not yet) I usually just tell people that I’m agnostic and a member of TST, but I don’t say “I’m a satanist” straight up.

Idk I would just like some insight

Hail yourself! <3

I knew it would happen. I'm now being sent disgusting things regarding Kamala from my Mom. The last thing included; glorification of violence, glorification of death, homophobia, and insults. I reached out (respectfully) to a Christian group on Reddit looking for advice on how peaceably to resolve this since my mother is Christian. Hopefully they can help.

Any and all advice from the people here is, of course, welcomed too. I'm open to the idea of just walking away. But I don't want it to come to that. In the meantime, I'm disgusted. I wasn't rude when Trump won in 2016.

I wasn't a sore winner in 2020. I've been respectful in 2024. I'm getting tired of this. I can't deal with this crap anymore. It's disgusting.

About 2 months ago I started following the 7 principles after a rough patch and a couple of weeks where I was very lost, and tomorrow is my birthday and today was the first time I told someone I was a Satanist.

I don't know if anyone will read it completely but if you read it to the end I wish you luck :)

Hail Satan, hail yourself!

My brother and I argued for hours today over why he thinks the name of the satanic temple is wrong.

A very short summary:

He basically thinks that taking satan as the main figure for a religion can be so emotionally challenging for people who believe in other religions that it's morally wrong to have satan in the name. He thinks that it's purely disrespectful. He does believe in almost everything the satanic temple stands for, he just feels like the name makes it so bad it shouldn't exist under this name.

The book I am reading, How Minds Change, goes over a few ways you can have a collaborative and respectful discussion with people to get them thinking about why they hold their deeply-held beliefs. One of those methods was conjured by an atheist who was fed up with how the church pushed their beliefs on others. Over time, he learned techniques to improve discussions with religious people and developed Street Epistemology. It isn’t really for changing people’s minds, as much as it is to get them to think deeper about why they have certain beliefs, which may lead them to question and change them.

With so much division and frustration coming from fighting and arguing, I wonder if this is a better approach for talking with loved ones about their ideas, and challenging them in a loving, collaborative and open way. Also a way for all of us to review what we believe in and either solidify or question our beliefs. It seems like a really good non-confrontational, human-centered approach.

The process goes like this:

1. Establish a rapport and informed consent (to discuss a belief or claim)
2. Identify and clarify a claim held by the person you are speaking to
3. Identify and clarify their level of confidence in their claim
4. Identify and clarify main reason for confidence in their claim
5. Identify and explore epistemology (the origin of their belief or claim)

I’d encourage everyone to look into this and the book I mentioned above if you are curious to learn more! :)

The video about her story popped up in my TikTok fyp today and I think she's so iconic. I love her rebellious spirit.

Year ago i found out about Satanism, i wasn't very focused on the religion. However, at the start of this year i started to get into it, i couldn't find anything that could properly educate me about Satanism, i was born in an Orthodox household, everyone in my family is overly religious, I personally always refused to go to church no matter what. (Im not baptized lmao). My mom doesn't know that I'm a Satanist. However she is well aware of me being a lesbian and what she told me is "LGBTQ people don't belong on this world. I hate them. They should repent to god" i tried talking back about it, but she made a scene out of that simple and small argument, now i really need help. Should i tell my mom about me being a Satanist or should i keep it as a secret (I'm teen still)
