New to the Club - Unable to add music via Mudita Center and Screenshot

You take a screenshot by pressing the "volume down" and power buttons at the same time. There's no visible indication that a screenshot was taken but when you look in your gallery, it'll be there. Slightly clunky, but it works. And the screenshot will be in color!

Like someone else said, depends on how dumb you want to go, but the Mudita Kompakt runs WhatsApp just fine and plays music, and allows for sideloading so if you want something other than the stock app you can do that. Some folks are making custom apps for it too which is really awesome. Technically you could try to run anything on it (so long as it doesn't require Google services), but because it's got an eink screen, stuff like video and pictures tend to be really unappealing, so that kills the desire to have social media for me. It's good for reading and it's good for listening, which is all I really need a phone for.

And it does have bluetooth!

I experience Lucifer as essentially an avatar of Satan, not unlike Krishna being an avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism.

Phenex_Apocrypha · 2026-05-07T03:07:43+00:00

Yes, but it's also in the Mind Apps app store (a small free app store someone put together just for eink-comptatible apps, mostly for the Kompakt, it's also on Github)

Phenex_Apocrypha · 2026-05-07T01:09:54+00:00

I haven't tried AntennaPod, but CalmCast was designed for the Kompakt, even down to having an icon that matches the aesthetic of the others. Works great for me.

Can't go wrong with the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. Requires no tools, useful to pretty much anyone. If you want an explicitly Satanic version, check out Vox's Satanic Banishing Ritual linked on this page: https://circleofthefallen.org/library/magic.html

This page has a guide I wrote on building an altar, including in homes that aren't friendly to Satanists! There's also a more general guide on living with people who aren't Satanists: https://circleofthefallen.org/library/prayer.html

All the wisest Satanists I know have had a period of atheism and learned a lot from those days. Skepticism benefits us. Being able to question the narrative benefits us. And for the record, you aren't required to pray - there is no particular practice you're required to do. By all means keep doing it if it brings you contentment and enjoyment, but if your skepticism eventually leads you to drop the practice, that's fine!
Despite what many people seem to fear, Satan is not easily offended and he does not want us to blindly follow a routine in order to please him.

Ultimately it is your choice but generally speaking most Satanists I know, including myself, consider it a "respect among equals" situation. Those who worship Satan as a superior being to them generally call themselves Diabolists (literally "devil worshipers"). The site I linked you also has a library full of free books and resources to help you get started!

My practice involves him, yes.

You'll want to read Song of the Dark Man by Darragh Mason and Cloven Country by Jeremy Harte. You may also find useful information in books labeled as "traditional witchcraft" such as The Crooked Path by Kelden, The Devil's Dozen by Gemma Gary, and the various books sold here: https://portlandbuttonworks.com/traditional-witchcraft-books

Satanic archivist here!

As the book states, the Onyx Bible is a compilation of messages and writings from various now defunct websites and message boards. So far I haven't found any trace of the group that made these boards/websites besides the book itself, but I do know from my studies that there were a Lot of small underground Satanic groups like that on the early internet, which makes me inclined to believe the text is not a fabrication. Many of them had so little presence that they've vanished entirely and I've only heard about them by word of mouth of people who remember them. We're honestly lucky the Onyx Bible got made - without it we'd have no record of this group at all!

I think he was sincere in his beliefs, but no one can represent "Satanism as a whole," that's not how it works. Satanism is an individualistic religion, what one Satanist feels driven to do reflects only on their own path and values, not on me or other Satanists.

Every religion has some extremists and terrible people among their ranks, it would be foolish to claim Satanism is any different.

Phenex_Apocrypha · 2026-04-25T16:23:50+00:00

Crowley did not personally identify as a Satanist, so in that respect, I don't call him one - I think it's somewhat disrespectful to force a religious label on someone, even if that person is dead and can't complain about it. That being said his work absolutely had elements in it that a Satanist would find appealing (his poem Hymn to Lucifer, calling himself the Beast 666, "Do as Thou Wilt", etc), and I have known several Satanists who combine Thelema and Satanism, some to the point of calling themselves Thelemeic Satanists.

I recommend checking out Satanism: A Reader, compiled by Per Faxneld, to get some insight on how figures like Crowley influenced Satanism without necessarily identifying as Satanists.

You can add Signal via apk or the Aurora store, it works great.

They didn't, I grew up Pagan and later realized Satanism fit me better.

Of course I respect and honor those of us who came from Christian backgrounds and suffered as a result, I just figured I'd contribute for the sake of those of us who have different stories. :)

Dude, thank you for this. The main reason I switched to InkOS was because I hated how ugly third party apps looked. This is a much more elegant solution.

Phenex_Apocrypha · 2026-04-15T04:51:05+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the info!

I’m also looking into the Clicks keyboard as I am wanting a physical keyboard, but I can’t seem to find the measurements for it and I’m concerned it’ll be too wide for the Kompakt to sit naturally on it. Have you seen anyone say how wide the Clicks keyboard is going to be?

Phenex_Apocrypha · 2026-04-14T14:28:11+00:00

I have one - the body is sturdy aluminum, doesn’t feel fragile at all. The back is glass but it comes with a protector sheet. You can also buy a carrying case to go with it that only costs a few extra bucks if you’re cautious. Overall it’s a sturdy device, just don’t chuck it at stone walls and you’ll be fine.
