Hello
As of right now, I am completely new to all of Satanism. I have just read the "main" page on joyofsatan.com and am very interested in "joining". I would just like some help with where to begin, what to read, what to do first, then second, third etc.
Last year I did read some "occult" teachings about mentative currents, thought-force and such from William Walker Atkinson. The stuff fascinated me but I never pursued the study seriously. I abandoned it for more "practical" things like meditation and self-help and self-actualization knowledge. Anyway, I AM open to these kinds of things (the occult).
I deal with a ton of internal chaos daily, and it is starting to become overwhelming. I have been trying for a year to get over all of this, I have learned a lot of things and practices but none of them have helped much except meditation. Meditation has helped me become more clear on what my issues actually are.
I am agnostic/atheist but have often thought about how beneficial it would be to believe in a "god" to give me internal strength and power. I am hoping that satanism is what I'm looking for, especially since satanism seems to embrace and encourage science. But, be honest with me, is all of this stuff actually scientific? I do not mind if it is or isn't at this point, I'd just like to know.
Anyway, Is appreciate any and all advice on how to start. Thank you.
