Hello there, I am Char and i have been studying the joy of Satan website since about 2014 now. One thing I have struggled with is the actual historical timeline of Satanism, and I think that's fairly important. For centuries we've been pushed under the thumb of our enemies and told what we are, and what Satanism means. Our culture has been taken from us, and a big part of culture is the history of our forefathers and so on.
So let's fix that shall we? Let's start a timeline to fully solidify our place in history here on these forums where the enemy has no power.
The joy of Satan website gives us a few starts, but I'm going to go with the origin laid out in the doctrines of Satan section. And this clearly states that the origins of Satanism started with the Yazidi people meaning we had our start roughly in the 12th century, after Sheikh Adi returned from Baghdad and introduced his doctrines to the Kurds of the Lalish Valley in modern day Shekhan, Iraq.
Weirdly enough it seems that direct mentions of Satan as the Peacock King began in the 14th century which fills me with allot of questions about Sheikh Adi, as I had initially thought that his doctrines were the Al jilwah and Satan's poetry. It is also during this period that we see the building of the temples, and physical work that we can still see today.
Of course this is also the first conflict we had with the enemy, as the ancient Muslims began to fight and persecute the Yazidis up to the ottoman period.
The Ottoman Empire reigned long and conquered faraway lands, all the while Kurdish tribes filled with Yazidi took up positions of power and as the Ottomans push into Egypt, I think Yazidis began telling Egyptian people that were conquered of Satan.
From here hopefully someone who's more knowledgeable can tell us where Satanism goes from here, and if I got something wrong so far. Hopefully this will be the start of us Satanists being able to come together and reforge our culture as a united people!
