First things first~

I am new to Satanism and I'm not sure where to get started. I've read numerous pages on The website(including the Dedication Ritual page), but I'm having some problems pricking myself. I've seen at the bottom of the page that there is something known as an astral temple that I may also perform the ritual in "if I can't avoid danger". As I said I'm new to satanism, but meditation I'm familiar with so this option feels most comfortable.. There is no "real" danger here, but there is a fear of pricking myself(i guess from seeing my diabetic mother prick it and make squinting faces all the time) that I don't seem ready to get over. Then I read the creating an astral temple page and I see that I need to invoke to bless it so is there a way to perform this ritual without the spilling of blood?

P.s I believe in Father Satan/Lucifer and at the same time I feel that I'm shaming him by not being strong enough to prick my own finger.
