I just dedicated to Satan this past Monday, and decided to begin the 6 month spiritual warfare program today. However, I'm having trouble with achieving trance, because every time I try, I fall asleep. I imagine the feeling of climbing down a ladder or falling, and the next thing I know I have...

It may not be this way with all Spiritual Satanists, but I have noticed a few trends with many of the members of this group who actively post: 1. Paranoia: The tendency towards paranoia in this group becomes most evident when a new member has either posted something not 100% aligned with the...

Very often I have read, both in messages here and on the jos website, that Satan and the gods are our teachers and guides in SS once we dedicate our powers. I have also read many times that Spiritual Satanists need no human mentors and masters, because the gods are our mentors and the greatest...

The more I learn about Spiritual Satanism, the more I become convinced that it's what I need. I have been learning as much as I can about it, and I think that I will soon be ready to perform the dedication ritual and begin my journey of enlightenment, at least in this life. Because of the...

According to what I have read on joyofsatan.com, Satan genetically engineered humans to be able to tap into their spiritual energies and reach enlightenment. If this is true, it seems like someone could possibly harness their power through meditation without ever involving Satan himself. Is it...

I am a deconverting Christian who was raised in that religion. Every day I find more myth and error within Christianity. As you can imagine, discovering that I've believed a lie for most of my life is quite a shock to my system. Now I question everything, and always examine someone's claim...

I discovered joyofsatan.com because of a comment under a Youtube video about alien shapeshifters. I am very new to everything I am reading there. I grew up in a "Christian" home, but a few years back began to question and doubt what I had been taught. Since then, I have been on a journey of...
