    Considering conversion.

    Well, a few weeks and a lot of thought later, here I am, a new Satanist. I'm still really finding my feet, and deciding precisely what the particulars of my belief are. It's hard to shed RHP ideals of what religion needs to be. With that in mind, I did end up performing a dedication ritual...

    Gray Path? Meandering Path?

    And after a lot of thought... I'll be undertaking my dedication this weekend.

    Gray Path? Meandering Path?

    If I'm honest with myself... I've been questioning since I was in my late teens, but beating back those questions because they were "inappropriate." I've been telling myself for years now that all the doubts, inconsistencies and hypocracies were just the way things had to be, that The Church...

    Gray Path? Meandering Path?

    Which is where I'm at right now. I feel this path, it calls to me, but I acknowledge that I have to let go of the baggage/programming I still have. Thus, I think "committing" as it were is an important part of *my* journey. May not be for everyone, but it is something I feel I need to do.

    Considering conversion.

    What manner of modern innovations? I'm quite interested. Also - I've found "Venus Satanas" web videos to be... hit or miss. Sometimes there seems to be a nugget of interesting info, but many others they remind me of the sort of attention-seeking the proto-goths from when I was in high school...

    Gray Path? Meandering Path?

    This is rather what I was thinking. The point on my timeline where I seek being what I have been and begin being what I now believe myself to be. I just feel the need to put that punctuation mark in my life, so that I may take this left-hand fork. So far, all indications have been that a...

    Gray Path? Meandering Path?

    What if, after study and discerning what I personally believe, it seems right or appropriate to privately perform some sort of personal dedication? Is that just too "right-hand", and if so, why is it espoused by so many of the different sites I have read? Now - I am not the type to believe...

    Considering conversion.

    Thanks, everyone. It's interesting to find so many different opinions on what does and does not constitute "correct" observation of Theistic Satanism. My views seem to be quite in line with Diane Vera's excellent site and writings - which do put a certain amount of weight into ritual. I...

    Gray Path? Meandering Path?

    Now THAT sounds like something I'd like to pass along to She Who Asked This Question...

    Considering conversion.

    I have no problem in considering Satan to be much, much older than the Abrahamic tradition. At the moment my gut instinct is that the Abrahamic God is *a* god among several. Just as Satan has been known as many different names since creation by different cultures. I listed my religion as a...

    Gray Path? Meandering Path?

    Are there practitioners out there that venerate both Satan and the Abrahamic God? If so, how do they reconcile the two so that they are not mutually exclusive? A friend of mine asked me this as we were discussing my consideration of Satanism.

    Considering conversion.

    Thus far - and I am far from an expert - this is sometimes the case. Some believe in Satan as an entity or force that pre-dates Christianity, or exists independent of it. So, either the Abrahamic God exists, and Satanism is "choosing the other side", the God of the Bible is less omniscient or...

    Considering conversion.

    I ended up here after weeks of reading sites, blogs, and other online resources about many different faiths than the one I was raised in. I feel deeply drawn to TS, but like other posters I find it a bit confusing since everyone seems to have their own take on what it means to be a theistic...
