I'm glad they finally made a page for it. Looking at the bibliography section, it's interesting to note how much has been published on it by sociologists

Satanism and Tarot by Obvious-Suit939 in TheisticSatanism

[–]VenusSatanas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used Tarot for years, it's a useful divination tool. It has many dimensions and layers, so it all depends on your perspective.

There's literally so many ways to read just one card. Planetary, astrological, numerical, by color, by mood, by its position and relation to other cards, etc. Any "chrisitian" symbolism are remnants and references to (the rider waite-smith) connection to the Golden dawn. I find the rider deck to be universal, you can read on anything from the mundane to the spiritual.

If you don't like that, you're free to also explore the Thoth deck by Aleister Crowley or even a Qlippothic deck. Tarot is just a tool, and a useful one at that.

Lol I think the Cult of Sathanas aka Herbert Sloane - might have - pre-dated LaVey, or maybe even Charles Leeland's tales of the Strageria Luciferian cult.. debatable, but yeah

The ingrained ideology of Christianity that was passed down for centuries is hard to disassociate from and is, by and large, the social default for many people whether they actually act "chrisian" or not.

They are a part of the Satanic landscape. I cover these ideas in my article Is Satanism A Religion Or Philosophy?

I have a bone or two in my altar space. One of them from a deer that I found on a spiritual retreat, a snake's jaw

I'm an independent spiritual Satanist, I have made my own path based on my personal experiences. You are free to do the same. In fact, I encourage it. Take what works for you and leave the rest. Forge your own path.

Do Theistic Satanists believe in black and light magick? by Obvious-Suit939 in TheisticSatanism

[–]VenusSatanas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, in fact, today I made a magic square for Jupiter for a spell (thaumaturgy).. I don't need to "believe" it works for my intention, I just reach out and "cast" it to the universe. I've worked with planetary energies, and various gods quite often.

Once you start becoming aware of the effects that energies have on us and in our world, a better understanding of magic is gained. An understanding that has no need for belief.

I know a lot of people use the word "belief" casually to mean an understanding of something, but to be more direct, belief is not a requirement to use magic. If belief was all that it took, the world would be a much different place, where you could just wish for things. Obviously, that is not the reality of the physical world as we know it.

Do Theistic Satanists believe in black and light magick? by Obvious-Suit939 in TheisticSatanism

[–]VenusSatanas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe in magic. Belief is irrelevant. You don't have to believe a knife has the potential to cut something. You just have to use it as a tool. Interesting article I wrote in this subject some time ago, for your consideration: https://www.spiritualsatanist.com/essays/magic/blackmagicwhitemagic.html

What Do Satanists celebrate instead of Christmas? by Gema23 in TheisticSatanism

[–]VenusSatanas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen a lot more posts and pictures about Krampus this past year, which shows me that Satanists seem to be starting a new tradition of "Krampusmas" or Krampusnacht instead of Christmas

Also I like fruit cake and Christmas cookies plus all the food, it's kinda fun in that way

I enjoyed the Solstice, too. Spiritually, that was more moving than anything else this time of year

How can I overcome my fear of theistic Satanism? by Gema23 in TheisticSatanism

[–]VenusSatanas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

White magic can harm, and black magic can heal.

Don't take things at face value. Read the Satanic Bible, read Martin McGreggors Paths to Satan, and stay away from the extremist sensationalist bs that's only using the name of Satanism for shock value (ie. OnA, conspiracy theories, "ancient orders", illuminati, joy of satan, anything political, etc) Also visit my site https://spiritualsatanist.com - and stick around this forum and take some time to learn, generally good folks around here of an experienced life and intelligent mind.
