Hello everyone,
I have been a member of the board for a few months and have been reading the Joy of Satan website just about everyday. I am learning all I can, and would love to perform the dedication ritual and let Father Satan know I have come "back home" so to speak.
However, before I do, I just had a couple of questions. I was hoping you guys could provide some insights. Maybe even share your experiences so I can know what to expect and how to proceed.
1.) I know High Priestess Maxine mentioned several times that Satan does NOT force himself upon us. We must come to him. But I was wondering if it is possible that he gave me an "invitation"?
Let me ask in another way... I have always been a seeker of the truth. No matter how difficult... and no matter where it lead me... or how painful it was for me to leave my comfortable thought systems and beliefs... I just always want to know the absolute truth.
Just like most of you... I want to know why I am here. Where we came from. Who the real creator God was. (Obviously we all know NOW!)
So anyway...
I feel like there were too many *signs* that brought me to the Joy of Satan website. Of course, it wasn't out of thin air. I was seeking the truth for years... and after many ups and downs... revelations and dead ends.... one day I said "Father of Creation whoever you are, please reveal to me the truth.. I am ready."
Soon after, I found JoS. And just about everything I was reading on JoS was a culmination of my years of research. It verified so many things I had researched in the past. It seemed to fill in the holes I could not figure out on my own.
Even though I have NOT dedicated quite yet, I already feel a dark burden has been lifted off of my shoulders. Money is flowing into my life again like it hasn't in years. I can see the future with more clarity and confidence... Confident in my talents and abilities to manifest a magnificent future for myself and my family and loved ones.
I am wondering if Father Satan has already helped me? Or has he been waiting for me to "come home" all this time? I don't mean this to sound liek I am exclusive. I mean, perhaps this is whay ALL of us are here on this forum? Because we have all been "called" or "invited" back by Father Satan?
I hope this makes sense. If Father Satan has been so gracious to bring me to the truth... I can only imagine what life will be like once I dedicate.
Can anyone share insights on whether he "calls" or "invites" us to him?
2.) Quicker question... What are the absolute necessities to make any Dedication Ritual binding? Truth is, I get a little weirded out when I draw blood. If I must do it, then I will man up.
But could I simply call on Father Satan and ask him to accept me into his family?
The dedication verbiage that HP Maxine uses says we should "denounce the filth that is Jehovah and Jesus, etc..." But I don't care about that B.S. I am an atheist. Does Father Satan really need to hear those exact words?
Or can I write my own dedication?
Just looking for insight and advice... thanks brothers and sisters!
