Welcome, friend. You'll fit right in. Of course, study is a great tool. We have a library on joyofsatan.com (you can find it in the 'sermons' section of the Joy of Satan website. I am sure you will find it.) Make sure to study the material and when ready, dedicate either in the astral or in blood. Blood is more formal and... just more 'cemented' (ideologically, not literally). It gives you that distinction "Hey yeah, I did my dedication in blood." Which is good. But if not possible, do not hesitate to do this in your astral temple. No pain, good to go. Do what you are comfortable with, honey. Don't trouble yourself with choices. Decisions, decisions... lol.
After you dedicate, you will get plenty of good things like protection, guidance and a sense of wholeness that only comes with a beneficial and healthy spiritual practice. I have been a long time Satanist and all I have to say is that this is THE way. In fact, this is similar to 'The Tao' (Tao comes from 'Taus', Melek 'Taus', who happens to be Satanas.) The Tao means 'The Way'. Satya is 'The Way'. This is evident with Sanatana Dharma. Sanatana Dharma, if I am not mistaken, can literally translate to 'The Proper Manner of Things' (correct me if I'm wrong) xianity states that they practice spirituality, but don't be fooled by this, it is materialism to the extreme and can scar you for life as it has for many. Although it might sound ridiculous to the ear, xianity is EXTREMELY destructive. In the past, xianity was DEADLY (persecution of anybody with as much as a birthmark) "HERESY!" *rolls eyes* lmfao. Don't make the mistake of giving them any heed OR mercy. Sorry, but they're up to no good. We know this and consistently raise our vibration through the 8 spiritual practices so that we live on a higher level and frequency than others, especially those who reject our creator god, Father Satanas. I hope that you get as much from Satanism as I did. Satanism has changed my life forever. I am able to talk to beings that I had no idea were even real or existent. I have two children with a spirit woman. To most, this family that I have doesn't even exist exist. I remember when my son was born. I was not ready when he was born, but he is fine now and I love him and my daughter to death (I have no physical children). I even regularly have intercourse with women on the spirit level (yes, while awake, not just succubi but also regular ghosts, they are very beautiful both in looks and in heart) that keep me feeling safe, connected and show sincere concern for me and my family. I feel satisfied sexually without physical intercourse and regular sex now DISGUSTS me at this point. I know that sounds extreme, but at least where I live, women are repulsive. Spirits are my soul mates (hence the name

).
Dear friend: Stick around, have a good time and HAIL SATAN!
