Hello to all, I am a newcomer, actually as of yet I am still just a spectator in a way. My name is Jose, but I prefer the nickname Corpse. I would like to politely pose some questions, and ask about things that I am concerned about. I slightly looked into Spiritual Satanism and considered joining some years ago, but didn't. Now, after even more time of feeling shunned by what traditional religions consider "God", I feel as if maybe it is time to consider a new faith.
My questions are:
1) What truth is there behind people who "sell" their souls? Can one truly make a deal with Satan and receive instant gratification in exchange for their soul?
2) For those who decide to accept Satan, can they ask for better life conditions? Ie. Let's say I am dirt poor but have high dreams of being a famous musician, would allegiance to Satan help out maybe in a way like getting a good job, or finding a way into the music industry?
Those are my two main questions. Now, I would like to address some concerns and ask how I could go about them.
I live with a Catholic family, though I currently do not place myself under any religion (although I do believe in the spiritual). They respect my choices and even accepted me when I was considering becoming a Satanist a few years back (they did say they didn't like it, but never treated me any different). Though I do not agree with their loyalty to a "Loving God" who has done nothing but ignore me and made me suffer for the past decade, I respect their theological allegiance (as I know they have been brainwashed for many generations and are closed minded about such subjects). Because of that mutual respect with my family, I wouldn't want to blatantly perform rituals in the living room (since I do not have my own room), would the Astral Temple be enough to perform my initiation, and all or at least most of the other rituals?
I feel ready to commit to Satan and be a part in Satanism, but do not want to create turmoil with my family, which I know would happen if they were to walk by the living room at night and see me performing rituals, also not because of that alone but I have a baby sister who was born premature and has slightly weakened lungs and is prone to asthma, I wouldn't want to aggravate her condition by lighting incense or candles.
If anyone here can help answer my questions and address my concerns, I would appreciate it, I will be reading the Joy of Satan website, but would prefer an answer tailored to my situation. Thank you.
