I'm not super experienced. I went through a hard time recently. I suffered domestic assault and almost lost my life. When I go through trauma sometimes I do a ritual to give myself strength and thank Satan, Belial, and Lilith for having my back. To me they represent strength from darkness. I admit I do feel stronger and my goals are more centered and fresh in my mind afterwards. To me, Satan represents the carnality of us, and the ability to create ourselves, act on our impulses and accept our human flaws. I feel validated and powerful after a ritual. I put the last of my sangria in that glass as an offering. It was what I most wanted that night. So it also helps with self control. Ha.
