I adore Wicca, but the community has it’s problems. I also adore Satanism.

‘Twould be wonderful if they could be meshed openly, and I could speak of Satan as openly as I do of Hades and of Lucifer as openly as the other Hellenic gods.

Frankly it stinks.

I am no SJW, but calling anyone’s beliefs or they themselves “bipolar” is disgusting. Not even gonna state why.

Just what is your deal?

Theistic Satanists believe one or more of several things: Satan is the All, or an impersonal Source, Satan is the only Deity (sometimes referred to as Set or Enki, sometimes a combination of monotheism and polytheism, other times one or the other), equated with Lucifer in His lighter aspect (also viewed as separate from Lucifer by some), and finally there are some explicitly Gnostic (these, in the event of theistic Satanist or Luciferians, are the only ones I’m aware of that include anhthing remotely like mainstream “Christianity,” and they are outright opposed to the current paradigm – * they are also THE RAREST FORM OF SATANIST and do NOT worship some “demigod.”)

You show zero knowledge of actual Satanism, atheistic or otherwise, and since you show ignorance that you MUST share on multiple sites that borders on bigotry (“demigod,” really? I know that is an insult, even if the others here who are not Satanic do not), and refuse to stop, even after being downvoted to oblivion on Reddit, and because others who may be i interested in Satanism may read this… AND because you’ve gotten on my last nerve after seeing you post these kinds of things week after week, I’m responding.

Now that I addressed this, it’s over and I’m moving on. You can continue your vendetta against Satanism here if the mod allows, and your open vendetta against Christianity elsewhere (let’s be honest, even the comment I’m replying to is against Chistianity in your mind), but I’m finished with you.

Even non-Christians work with and/worship the Christian patheon, and that should be respected – even though to many Satan is considered to be an older deity and outside of Christianity (which if you’d bothered to look it up before your smear campaign, you’d know this).

He is not a “demigod” in ANY Satanic tradition I know of. SMH. Even the atheistic Satanists view him as an archetype! Where is this “demigod” nonsense?

I started out in Wicca, but nowadays I am just an eclectic witch. I am however, a modern philosophical Satanist now. There are definitely similarities between the material and Wicca’s because as you said, they pretty much have the same roots. I am not an atheist though. Just a polytheist and I belong to the Aztec religion, you could say, with that.

I wish this covered theistic Satanist, because they also use pagan gods and can be considered on the umbrella of paganism. Same with philosophical or LaVeyian Satanists. I am really tired of pagans excluding Satanists, not just Wiccans. Even Witchvox does it. Whenever I am around fellow pagans for this reason, unless I know they’re cool, I just exclude the Satanist part. I agree with you that a lot of Wiccans need to put on their big girl panties about it and be more mature on the subject of Satanist.
