Oh (I forgot to add):
In addition to looking after yourself you should always seek to know and understand your true self. (Your tendencies, shortcomings, etc). This is also done through our connection to Satan. He is the light (Lucifer) who reveals truth (Satan in Sanskrit = Sat: truth Yan: eternal).
I've just come to learn these things recently and feel the need to emphasize their importance. The dedication ritual connects us to Satan. He's always with us in some capacity, so NEVER feel like it's a sign of weakness to go to him for love and support.
