Pentacles are commonly used in magickal practices, not just in the Wiccan religion. I personally use them in my practice and I know others who do to. Although some members of the site are Wiccan there are many who are of other faith as well as those who only practice the craft.
You don't have to be a Satanist to achieve what you say you want. Actually, true white magic is far more powerful and effective that black magic.
Black Magic hurts people, and most of all, hurts the magician himself. Why? Because if you curse someone, you taint your soul with hate. If you use and abuse people, some day, someone stronger will use and abuse you.
In Black Magic, you create what you believe in. It's your choice to believe in Satan, but Satan does not actually exist until you create him. Satan is not real. You can create him, though. The point is - do you want to create the Enemy of Mankind?
White Magic, on the other hand, is not about healing people and receiving nothing, as the movies show. It's about controlling yourself and everything around you. A White Magician never fails for White Magic is true and will always be so. It will give you everything you want and will ask you nothing except for your independence - even from your own desires.
People tend to think that Black Magic is freedom because it allows sacrifices and sexual rites and because it claims that everyone must do as it pleases him/her - but that's not true - you are slave of your own wishes and fantasies. Get rid of them, and White Magic, being Truth, will set you free. Really Free. Free in a way you have never felt before, and which I cannot describe for you must try it yourself.
Welcome to SoM! I am new here as well, so perhaps we can go be new comers together. I know there are a few people on this website that work with Demonology as well as Satan/Lucifer (depending if you believe he was the same God or not). Anyway Welcome! Feel free to message me whenever!
Arcadian, I found what you said to be slightly offensive since I myself am not what modern practitioners call a "white witch". All forms of magic are important and are powerful in their own way! Just as I respect your "healing" practices, please respect those of us who prefer grayer paths.

People, people! Magick is magick. It is in the intent that people label it as black or white. All of you need to look at/learn/re-learn the basics. Learning what magick truly is and what you can do with it will help you understand it.
I send beginners to forums. In the General Info section, you will find Basics Expanded and Starting Out quite useful. Please take the time to study and learn, then put it into practice.
Thanks everyone for talking and giving me the much needed information to further my path in magic. To Star Power I actually agree with that your not the first person to tell me that one of my friends I have in social media has told me that. Although I have come across numerous articles claiming what is magic. Nice to see it is not a Malodrama (I believe I spelt that wrong) when it comes to magic.
I know I put a very short introduction about myself but I really am one who likes to show rather than talk. I'd rather be seen as a fool than a blithering windbag. I do welcome anyone to talk or teach me ideas of magic as currently I'm exercising in Divination and spell casting.
I try not to let religion dictate why or what forms of magic to learn. In fact that is why I am here to begin with. To learn from multiple sources and see what fits me as the individual using these arts.
