Greetings,
I have no been involved with the Christian faith now for well over 20 years and have worked hard at transforming myself from a brainwashed idiot teenager into a freethinking adult. I take pride in having accomplished this to a fuller degree than would have thought possible those many years ago.
I am very new to the JoS website, this message board, or the idea of spiritual Satanism. What has initially captured my interest is the extraordinary similarities that I have found between the magickal practices that JoS proposes and my own Hermetic practices. They seem strangely parallel.
Now for the unexpected hang up -- all that pride in having purged my mind seems to ultimately give way to dismay after all. Terms like "Satan, Demons, Hell and etc ... leave me with a putrid smack of days long past and a brief negative feeling. I can't be sure why. I dislike the fact that those feelings are there. I am a bit disappointed in myself for them. How or when do these remnants evaporate?
