Greetings Py and welcome aboard!
You have definitely come to the right place for knowledge about Satanism, magic, the occult and the Left Hand Path. I have been an evolving Satanists for roughly 25 years and I can tell you that the Joy Of Satan by far offers the most comprehensive and sensible ideas relating to Satanism that I have seen.
Other groups are worthwhile to be sure and we all have our individual styles of ritual, worship and beliefs, but the J.O.S. has given me much food for thought and guidance.
Take care and hope to hear from you

Hail Satan! Diabolus Vobiscum! (Satan Be With You)

Hail all!
I am Pyrael. I am not a dedicated Satanist, more curious at the moment than anything. I have many questions that I am hoping can be answered but thought it bad taste to just start asking without even introducing myself.....
Anyways, A bit about me..
I "was" a practicing Ceremonial Magician belonging to The Order Of The Rings of Solomon - A pseudo-wiccan Orthodox Traditional Order of covens. After attaining my first degree(And promised - but never received - my second degree), I started really questioning the general idea behind their teachings. I guess, looking back, it could very well have been a greater force calling me. I'm not 100% sure on anything. I have not formally left my coven or the order, but I see no reason to be there.
As of late, I have resolved myself to the Ideals of the LaVeyist path, but have considered myself Agnostic instead of Atheistic. It's hard to call one's self an Atheist when they have witnessed Magick truly occur.
I have many questions, and I will be sure to post them (When I get the sorted better)
Thanks for the site and opportunity!
Py
