Welcome to the Satanic Group. Keep in mind that this is our most controversial group on the site. It is hard to communicate with other groups without comming off offensive. This is because many of the people on this site are Polytheistic, and many of them fear devils or demons or evil spirits. Many in this group are Athiests; and very few people outside this group really understand how that is possible. It would seem that one could not rightly believe in a satan without believing in a god. "Satan" comes from Hebrew origin: HaSatan meaning “the enemy” However, one could believe themselves to be the satan or enemy of gods. The most prominent Satanist in modern times has been Anton Szandor LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan. He was a controversial man by design, and his writings had both a good and bad reputation. The Satanist is one who often does not believe in any power higher than him/her self. They may perhaps believe in the possibility of Aliens, but is ultimately his/her own final authority. This group is basically Humanist, with a slight vendetta against the power of modern organized religions. They tend to see religion, especially of the Abrahamic variety, to be oppressive and over-bearing. They also tend to want to be free of man-made restrictions that move beyond the social demands of living in harmony with their neighbors. This religion is a step beyond Atheist, in that not only do they NOT believe in a god, but they see religion(s) with authoritarian gods as devices used by evil humans to force other humans into submission.

Many people who fall into this category also identify within another category. The most notable within this classification would be the American Indians. For Nature Lovers, the goal is to get in-touch with nature itself. Get as close to our original environment as possible. The Nature Lovers wants to at least stand in reverent awe of, if not worship, the powers or even the gods of nature. At the very least, they believe we are a product of, and have much to learn from, nature. The New Age movement pulls many of its teachings from this outlook. As well as turning to nature to help better ourselves. This might be done through magickal properties within stones, crystals, herbs, or by harnessing the power of environmental aspects. One might get strength from standing at the base of a waterfall, or going into a trance at the edge of a fire. Many non-wiccan witches could be classified more accurately as Nature Lovers, such as Kitchen Witches, and Fairy Witches. Kitchen Witches, for example, may be covened or not. They often primarily enjoy the aspect of choosing herbs in the forest and fields, and grinding them using stones that have magickal properties. Cooking, transforming, mixing, and preserving those herbs to be used as food, soap, tinctures, potions, drinks, and incense. This is harnessing nature to better ourselves. Fairy Witches are often into their craft more for the cultural aspects and the imaginative excitement, than they are for any other purpose. They do however, tend to fall into this category. The Fairy Witch wants to be out in the forest. They spend time looking for, and talking to fairies. As a good witch will not put glitter made of plastic into the forest—they may make it from the sand of geodes, salt, Formica, or shells. They will often look for and arrange this natural glitter fairy-dust, mushrooms, stones, and parts of trees to create the perfect place for attracting fairies. This activity, self-reflection, scrying, and sharing their experiences with others are all part of being a successful Fairy Witch. If you have not joined our site-- you should.

Mystics are people chasing either an understanding, or a foreshadowing of future events; or they are trying to unlock and understand the secrets and theories of life. They often have many theories, and a few very interesting patterns. Mystics are not a stable religion base, but more of a flavoring to add to a stable religious experience. Be careful of the person who offers mysticism as a stand-alone belief system. A good example of mystics within religion, are Kabbalistic researchers. They often identify as belonging to another base religion, such as Judaism, Christianity, or even Wicca; but they specialize in making that religion make sense through the secrets of mysticism that they have unlocked through Kabbalah. They may have a group that they study with, and they talk of ideology and theoretical religion. But they would caution you against leaning too much on Kabbalistic theory. Numerology, and Symbolism make up for most of the mystical world. Numbers following shapes, letters that align with numbers, math applied to symbols, tracing repetition through history and culture… it all adds up. And it can bring to life a religious experience that has worn out its welcome. Psychics are another example of Mysticism. They get insight through systems, patterns, and trance. They may get their insight from the stars, cards, sequences of events, palm patterns, gazing at reflections or flames, or some new and mystical system of scrying or decoding. Having some chance at knowing something that would otherwise be impossible to foresee is EXCITING. For this reason, some psychics admittedly are stage magicians, while others are genuinely trying to unlock the future or the past and get insight. To separate them, a good rule of thumb is if the psychic is offering his/her insight for free or fun – or if they are making money from their art and causing fear.

We are here to HAVE FUN! The Cultural aspect of religions is often what attracts people to those religions in the first place. A religion is a kind of family or social group. Groups tend to have their own music and ways of dressing. There are holidays and traditions that come with many religious followings. Then there are cultural ideas about religious groups—that are formed by those outside of the religion. Cultural followers are looking for the flash and color and perhaps cultural understanding of religion, and may not be as worried as others about a serious full-time religion and all its details. They may like the history, music, clothing, mysticism, or maybe the reputation that comes with associating with a specific group. Being involved in a culture for culture’s sake can be a very positive experience, as long as it is properly communicated to other more religious-based practitioners in a way that is not seen as disrespectful or disruptive. Cultural Witch Example: If someone wanted to join a coven because they watched a television show about witches and thought it looked fun, they may be disappointed. A Cultural Witch may just enjoy hand picking their traditions to fit themselves. They are using their own version of the art to have an experience, or spice a lifestyle, or express reaction or emotion. It may be that this person gets way more from Cultural Witchcraft than they ever would joining a coven. This person may do things all alone that feel like Witchcraft to them, but are not religious. They may find that burning a flame in a small cauldron, and gazing into it until the water-alcohol mix runs out to be a relaxing trance-inducing nightly routine. They may carry minerals or stones on a necklace or key ring for the magickal benefits they provide. They may just write out curses in Black-Magick fashion, when they are angry to vent their frustration. They may simply want to keep a black cat as a pet—just to be a better witch. And this might be all this person needs to be a Cultural Witch and feel connected to something bigger than themselves. This person may otherwise enjoy showing off a bit, like dressing with a black hat and wearing a pentagram. They may find dancing around a campfire in the back yard, or standing nude under the stars, to be a very exciting and witchy thing to do with a few friends. They may have read how to make mead at home, and enjoy sharing their “brew”. Or they may just enjoy playing with a Ouija board or Tarot Cards for laughs on the weekend. This is also an acceptable form of Cultural Witchcraft. And sounds like a lot of fun! Cultural Satanist Example: Some one leaving an oppressive Christian based group may escape into Cultural Satanism. They may be attracted to the idea of following the arch enemy of Christ. This person may not care about Theoretical Satanism. They are not so much against any god in any religion. They may just really hate the death cult they came from. This person may hate the fact that they missed out on life because of the oppression of religious ideals. They may just want to “be bad” for a while. This person will likely become a Cultural Satanist. All of this may be just the thing they need to recover from the Cult style oppression they previously faced. They might read The Satanic Witch, by Anton Szandor LaVey, and it may strike a chord. This person may feel like the music in a satanic-heavy-metal band express their feelings of loss and rejection, and find they identify with the black clothing and makeup that represents oppression in these groups. This person may wear a goat-pentagram as a symbol of having escaped their former life. They may also wear Satanic looking symbols to ward off well meaning members society from pressuring them. An individual may enjoy the counter-culture, and feel exhilarated by the anarchist standings that are common in Cultural Satanism. These people may not be an Antichrist Satanist, and just want to leave Christians alone, and be left alone. This person may use the Culture of Satanism as a protection, and a social group for meeting other Religious Escapists. And this might be exactly what is needed to feel connected to something bigger than one’s self while recovering from being hammered by religious demands. No matter what religion you are in, some people are just there for the Culture. They are not so serious about the details. They just want to be a part of some aspect of the religious experience, either real or imagined. All of us identify with this at some level, or we would all be extremist zealots. The key is to communicate where you are at, when needed, so that you can be respectful of others who may be taking things more serious than you. The other side of this coin is to realize that some people are not going to take your religion as serious as you! And also to realise that they may be exactly where they need to be in there experience. If you have not joined our site-- you should. It will make it so you can join the group.
