There are powerful curses upon true spiritual knowledge and the use of magick, put there by the enemy to try to frighten people away. I had a bad experience when I was brand new to Satanism. I was a total atheist and after reading LaVey's Satanic Bible and other CoS literature, I was led to believe Satan was only an "archetype" and other nonsense. My only connection to spirituality was some knowledge regarding the powers of the mind, I knew astrology and the Tarot worked and that was about it. Then, I got this nasty voice in my head, which was not me and it freaked me out [being an atheist]. I never experienced anything like that. I cussed it right back and then backed off for a couple of days and then came back to studying Satanism and the occult again, but learned much more from the experience.
I have read where others who allowed experiences to really frighten them would go running to xianity. One young girl burned all of her witchcraft books out of fear. That is really sad.
I say this to everyone here- never give into any fear. Like Thoth stated in regards to spirituality: "Fear is only an illusion." One must continue on. If mistakes are made in regards to working magick, learn from them.
Like you wrote Monie, Satan guides us and gives us knowledge and our workings have much more power.

Dude, your in the RIGHT PLACE.
Im a 42 yrs old mother of four. For a couple years I tried Christianity, but I am born a witch. Had a bad experience with magic in 1992 so turned from it.
Your experience with the church and the faker christ is almost identical to mine on a spiritual level.
Never did jewsus do a thing for me! Pray, pray, and nothing happens. I was told to turn away love. I was told to wait patiently.
When I came home to witchcraft again I received SO MUCH in terms of joy and relationships.
Returningenuity to Satan makes magic faster and ultimately more powerful then ever before.
Satan doesn't NEED us to convert and this isn't church.
If you are truly His, you will learn more, learn to meditate and SEE THE LIES of what you have been taught since birth.
good luck and welcome.

I am a 47 yr old male. I was raised a christian. In fact just four years ago I was ordained as a deacon in the baptist church. My problem is that the more i did for god the more pain and suffering would enter into my life. I was born a bastard and at birth was given away. my life has been cursed ever since. I thought if I served god and did as he wanted my life would improve; it didn't, it just got worse. There were times when it was like I was god's joke. It was like he was playing with me. The harder I tried to please him the more he would punish me. I started to wonder why a god of love as he is preached would do or let be done these things to the ones he loves. I have always been taught that Satan was evil. After doing some reading I am starting to think otherwise. I just need to know where to turn. I need my life to turn around. I am tired of being beat down and want to be lifted up. Please someone tell me if Satan is the way to change my life.
