Hey all,
I joined this group recently after checking out some of the Joy of Satan literature and finding it very interesting. I've been a strict atheist since freshman year in high school, and I have opposed the ignorance and hate of the Christian "faith" vigorously during this time. However, I truly hope that Spiritual Satanism will guide me to a Creator that actually cares about humanity.
So, what are the first steps I should take? The obvious choice is the dedication ritual, but I feel a bit leery of dedicating my soul to a being that I have never seen or spoken to. I know it sounds ridiculous, but is there a way to ask a demon (or Satan, though I imagine He's very busy) to talk to me? I'm a complete rank amateur in anything spiritual, so some newbie guidance would be much appreciated.
Peace,
-Eddie
