Here's what I can tell you.

With Satanism there are many types. There's theistic Satanism, where people in it believe in satan and demons but in a different light. They don't see these beings as evil. Most view their demons as the original ancient gods. They incorporate their beings into magic.

There's LaVeyan Satanism, which is really an atheistic type. They don't believe in any gods or the actual satan. They believe that humans can perfect themselves into gods through their spiritual power in magic. They see satan as mainly symbology.

there may be other variations but I'm not sure. both do believe in individualism though.

Thank you, that does help

you're welcome :)

That's a really great explanation, in a short easy way to understand. I'm a Satanist and for more in the first category, but always find it hard to explain to others. There's never one category a person fits into, in my opinion. There is always something that doesn't quite fit, or you like things from other religions.

If you want to talk about this more, or have questions feel free to message me.

Interesting is comparison a names of a Hells demons in in La Vay's Satanic Bible with names gods and goddesess non-christian cultures. :-D

I've studied different flavors of Satanism depends on their belief system and see Satan as with yourself or an actual being outside of the self.LaVeyan, Theistic/SpiritualLuciferianism, Anti-Cosmic Tradition, Order of the Nine Angles,and their is another tradition where you mix Lord and Lady Death into Satanism.

As a chaoteI see Satan like I see his twin Yahweh or whichever names they go by. Also symbolism of anti-creation and one of the gatekeepers of the abyss.

Www.joyofsatan.com it's a great website to learn as well as The Church of Satan.Both are great tools and can give you a solid foundation on what Satanism is.

Eh, no, it really isn't.

Agreed, Joy of Satan is a site that is full of misinformation, it is likely to confuse more than assist.
