Hi I'm sad

[scemo]

Well my ex pagan friend said she was pagan and said that me believing in spiritual Satanism is invalidating others , because I believe that satanism is the true religion,but I wasn't telling hers is not real I was just saying that I believed in spiritual Satanism,and she also said that she studied satanism and I was like mainstream satanism is a reaction to Christianity itself ,I'm sad I don't have any friends anymore because of her ,can I become some of y'all's friends because I need people who accept me

Who needs "friends" like that though?

Advance more and sooner or later others will want you as their friend every single day.

Ignorant people like the one you mentioned will then seem less attractive.

 

[AFODO]

First of all her religion is real and not "bad". Maybe you didn't introduced her to Satanism in a good way.

 

[xlnt]

please don't be going around telling your friends and other people about Joy of Satan just so casually

Better not tell just Anyone perhaps, but most other people don't give much of a damn even about yoga and such.

Saying to people one is a Satanist will most likely be looked upon by them as "worshipping evil, selfishness" etc.
That's what the mainstream is pumping out about Satanism, not least the main enemy religion of Christshit.
So I avoid it because of that.

I say I practice yoga and believe in it's importance and why.

Then they zone out and ask me what I'm doing this weekend.

 

[Dragonheart666]

You have plenty of cool friends here.

We are a family here, and we accept you as you are. Your vibration will become more influential later onwards to others, as you progress spiritually. Let yourself not be affected by this outcome, but look to this as a positive experience that improves you drastically, until you reach serenity and exceed limitations you thought were never possible to overcome.

 

[VanceViktori888]

Take this advice dude, keep to yourself.
I once yelled at my family about being a Spiritual Satanist and basically called out all their bullshit and right in front of them and I’m still working with the Gods to put a stop to their thoughts passively trying to screw with me.

 

[xlnt]

Everyone who is a Satanist, and wants to advance and grow closer to the Gods is welcomed here.

However, Humans need friends in real life and social interactions. So you should long for friends in real life.

Also, the true Satanism here on the Joy of Satan, is actually, very Similar to the pagan religions, as we worship the same Gods.
The Demons are the pagan Gods.

It's true that we all need IRL friends and not just forum friends or fakebook friends.

But if first thing is to strongly introduce yourself as Satanist and pushing that:

Unfortunately I say.
That's how they see you when being programmed by all religions, movies, TV shows etc.

So don't ever say it, unless you are really sure that it's not a dumbass or a christ-influenced person in any regard.

Many have "Jesus is saviour" inprinted in their minds (barely even knowing it themselves) without being xian.
Sort of most people actually to some degree. This programming comes not only from church, but from Hollywood etc.

 

[Way_Seeker666]

As others have said, don't talk to people about Spiritual Satanism or tell them you're a Satanist. It's not safe.
And don't feel sad, she has proven she was never a real friend. This is one of the challenges of this path but it's well worth it. All of us are here for you, Satan and the Gods are with you, and you'll be more than ok.

 

[Astralnaut88]

Try to redirect your thoughts every time you feel pity as it will only bring you down.

 

[xlnt]

Try to redirect your thoughts every time you feel pity as it will only bring you down.

Go full on into a meditation and asanas schedule - no pity to redirect.

Silence is golden. Don't share your beliefs with ANYONE.
Our ancestors had to keep their beliefs to themselves and so must we, for as long as we're living on this prison planet occupied by the enemy.

 

[Rocca]

I need people who accept me

once you accept yourself, i promise you gonna re read this and laugh
and!! one doesn't simply saying that I believed in spiritual Satanism!
not long ago they used to burn people alive for just on suspicion about it.
be careful

Remember that when you walk the path of Father Satan the dead branches (friends and untrue people) will cut themselves. You will see people you thought were close to you moving away even without a specific reason, you simply don't need them anymore...even more so if they are like that.

Don't tell anyone that you believe in Spiritual Satanism, unfortunately while the whole world is free to be whoever they want, we are not and it could be dangerous. Always preserve your privacy and your being.

We will always be here

 

[Waúrmwulf]

That's what we're here for, buddy. It's happened to us all. Do not mourn your former friendships, they where never your true friends anyway. I've even had to shed family due to this.
Remember this as well: Silence is Golden

As others said, we must keep our true belief secret to those who are without still; they don't and cannot understand the good that this path does for a person, and that we are actually saving their butts right now! In time, maybe so, but for now, a certain level of discretion on the subject must be kept!

I simply tell everyone I am a general Pagan, because it's not lying, nor is it giving away my deeper levels of religion.
Don't mourn the loss of the weight you've dropped. You'll find they weren't so valuable soon enough anyway. Cheers buddy.

Yes, it's that light that helps me survive in the midst of all this darkness. Belief in Zeus and Apollo, the entire Ancient Greek pantheon of Gods. Ithaca is my hope.

I have had the same experience as you, Eternal sun and also xlnt. And what hellenic Zevism writes is simply correct. Even people who call themselves enlightened pagans quickly become reserved when the word "Satan" or "demons" is mentioned. That is my experience. No matter how calmly and objectively I speak, which I do anyway. They are as deaf on both ears as my brothers in the Saturn Lodge, when I can show them with a lot of evidence that Saturnus in no way corresponds to the official image, but is the true creator and a philanthropist and, just like Satan, is not an ugly figure.
As NinRick puts it beautifully, I also long for friends with whom I can talk openly. I don't want to proselytize at all. I talk a lot about this with Father Satan and trustingly place everything in his hands.
As you, scemo, have already found out. Here at JoS I have also found brothers and sisters with an open mind, with whom I can talk about everything without having to pretend. That's really good.
And as ThunderLightnings has pointed out, JoS is a space where I can remain anonymous and thus not expose myself to the danger of being "lynched" like in public.
As Goethe put it so well: "Tell no one, only the wise, because the crowd will mock you".
So just stay anonymous and only talk to people here, in this forum, about everything that moves you. You are always welcome here.
Hail Satan!
Hail Lucifer!
Hail Wotan!

Honestly if they don't accept you they aren't worth your time or energy. Personally in my experience a good amount of Satanist will be wearing some type of tell like an inverted pentagram or a baphomet pendant if you want to find someone use your intuition and visual tells like this to meet like minded people. But everyone else is correct it can be dangerous so even in a type of situation where they are displaying satanic icons or sigils still be careful and ask them first what type of satanism they follow don't answer first yourself just to be safe. If they are atheistic Satanist it's best just to wish them a nice day and end the conversation there.

I particularly liked your last sentence. I met these atheistic Satanists mainly among the members of the Church of Satan. Everything they do is just for show and a pure ego trip. I once told one member that he should study the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche instead. They are much more profound and well-founded than anything La Vey has written. They don't want to get to know the real Satan.
Hail Satan!
Hail Lucifer!
Hail Wotan!
