My story may be the most random one.
I found the JoS when I was 13 or so. I had taken a silly photo (back then, the phones with cameras were sooo coooool), in which I was holding a knife in an "attacker" pose.
Someone told me that I looked like a Satanist.
I laughed, but then I got online and researched Satan and Satanism. Just because I got curious.
I was actually doing this research FROM THE SCHOOL'S COMPUTER!!
God, I was so naive and reckless back then. But the technology was also not as advanced as it is today.
I remember there were a few websites that were blocked by the school's computer (for being "dangerous/not proper for the school") and JoS was one of them. So, I wrote down the web address and then visited them from home.
When I started reading the Welcome page on JoS, I was feeling *euphoric*. I remember it was late at night, and I was moving my hands back and forth and screaming in the quietest whisper I could muster: "This is it!! I found it! I found the truth!! I found the truth!!".
It's quite funny because I had never before considered these things (I loved Greek mythology but was never interested in worshiping the Gods, or in the xtian god for that matter). I had never questioned our purpose of existence, aliens or "the jewish problem". I hadn't even considered spirituality or magic.
And then, the information from the JoS appeared on my computer screen, and I felt like I found the answer to a lifetime of questions.
My meditating was done in a very wrong way (I was young, filled with inferiority complex, and I was quite deluded), so I eventually stopped meditating until some years later.
Regardless of the on and off sessions I had for many years, I am proud that I eventually settled down and took this path seriously. I am very proud of myself, of all the great changes and self-awareness that has occurred within me, and I am also very, very happy to be a member of this place, of Satan's House on Earth.
At some point in my spiritual path, I created these animated meditations videos, and to this day, I remember the positive energy I was feeling all day long when I uploaded the first video:

Since then, I have written more than 10 notebooks with my daily spiritual practices and the vast experiences I've lived through the Gods and my own development.
I am truly so, so thankful for this path. I'm so thankful for our website and for Maxine, for all these articles she wrote and her posts in the groups. I am thankful for HP HoodedCobra continuing on her footsteps and bringing such incredible information for all our advancement.
I am thankful to be here, and I am proud to see our members keep on rising and new people having found the love and warmth of our Gods and Goddesses.
Here's to many more to come!
Hail Satan!!!
Hail Astarte!!!
