Do you know what the Salem Witch trials were really about? In the end it wasn't about "witches" practicing "witchcraft."
It was Christians acusing and killing other Christians for not being devoutly "Christian" enough...
As a Satanist, we don't perform "sacrifices" because there is no one to sacrifice anything to. We do have destruction rituals in which we burn or destroy inanimate objects that may be regarded as sacred to others but they are inanimate objects nonetheless...
Satanists are misunderstood and we will always be misunderstood. Fortunately, not by everyone, but by a loud majority. That's our inverted cross to bear...
I was just sitting on the patio enjoying a cider when some rando approached me and told me "You need to repent or you're going to Hell."
I said, "I will gladly go to Hell. That's how religious freedom works. You go Yahweh and I'll go mine..."

It's not easy being a Satanist out of the closet. Almost everyone wants to roast you. Christian nationalists and evangelicals want to roast you first. Even other atheists and Satanists want to roast you. You just have to accept it as your inverted cross to bear...

No one is trying to "replace" Christians. Christian nationalists need to understand that Americans of other religions have a place too besides them...
So yeah. I was just accosted by a rabid Xtian nationalist local who told me to enjoy The Lake of Fire.
I said, "Lake of Fire? I'm looking forward to it. I would rather go there than spend eternity with people like you."
He closed out his tab and marched away...
Tonight someone saw my TST stickers on my flask and showed me their membership card and I showed them my ordination card...

Once you get to a certain age it's ok to live a life others don't understand.
I used to be a "I can explain" kind of guy.
Now I'm a "I don't have to explain shit" kind of guy...
If your god condones or excuses or justifies bombing buildings of others who don't share your beliefs, nonbeliefs, disbeliefs, or unbeliefs, then your god is as much a POS as you are. I said what I said...
For those who went to SatanCon and visited the Salem Art Gallery last week and saw Larissa's armor in the throne room, this was the memorial plaque we made last year that should have still been visible with the suit of armor...
It's so funny that folks who pray to a guy who was executed on a torture device are in such denial that people were tortured and put to death in his name...

From Lanzifer, a soldier of Satan, by the grace of Baphomet, to the saintly sinners and sinful saints of Salem and unto those devoid of superstitious faith: Greetings.
May the grace and peace of Baphomet be upon you...

So now for the story of the hat I wore the day I gave the invocation in San Marcos. It was a gift from Larissa Wolf when I got ordained as a minister in TST in 2021. The hat is a repro of the same hat Clint Eastwood wore in the fim "Pale Rider."
For decades and as long as I have been around there has been a culture war being waged by Evangelicals, Christian Nationalists in particular. For decades this war has been waged mostly against people who couldn"t fight back. The Satanic Panic was a part of this culture war...
