Just a newbie saying hello... Hello!

[ennui_samurai]

Hey there, JoS folks!
This is my first time visiting the JoS site and I wanted to pop in and say hello. I was raised catholic, forced to attend a catholic school from kindergarten-8th grade. As a youth, I went through the motions along with everyone else, but I always questioned the validity of what the priests & nuns taught. I started on my spiritual quest when I was 14. I've studied almost every theology/ideology out there and I've taken multiple 'History of Religion' courses in college. I'd like to think that I'm decently well informed when it comes to the various religions of the world, but I could never find the right fit for me...

The idea of Spiritual Satanism is brand new to me. They definitely don't teach Satanism in any of the courses I've taken...lol

I'm sure that I'm going to have a multitude of questions for all of you fine people, but I'm going to explore the site & board a little more before I start hammering the board with the same old questions.

I've been in this spiritual limbo for about 15 years. I feel that I have a strong moral foundation, but I want to dig deeper. Thus far, I'm having difficulty accepting that Satan & Demons can be our friends. Now, I am fully aware of the horrific actions & blatant lies spawned from organized religions. I know of the church's many slander campaigns against other faiths/belief systems, but its just kind of strange to think of Satan as your "buddy."

The only question that I want to ask right off the bat is.... What do you Spiritual Satanists believe happens upon death? Is there an afterlife? Will we remain conscous? Is there a location/dimension/plane that our souls will inhabit?

Thanks guys! I'm sorry... I tend to ramble

Welcome.
Upon death, those who worked for Satan are being carried by the Gods to Hell aka Duat.

Those who have seen Hell agree it is a beautiful place. It is nothing like the Christians believe it is. Truth is, 'Hell' is an allegory for the Base chakra while 'Heaven' is an allegory for the Crown.
