Satanism in a nutshell

[delicioussatanist-blog]

Satanism is One of The Best Ways to Recover From Toxic Indoctrination

Now, I just have to say that even as a satanist, I do respect other people’s religions - as long as their ideology is not harmful and you don’t take the Bible too seriously. If you are a practicing Christian and you genuinely use your religion to better yourself, then that’s good on you. But if you use your religion to be racist, homophobic, sexist, or if you’re hellbent on converting the world, then I owe you no respect. Your ideologies are outdated and need to be destroyed. I feel like I may get some hate from Laveyan Satanists when I say that I respect some/most religious people. And what I have to say is that while I’m most familiar with Laveyan satanism, I absolutely do not conform to all of the dogma involved. And I feel like I have no need to. But that’s a subject for another video.

Now that that’s out of the way, I’m gonna talk about something that I’m not proud of. I was a Pentecostal for two years, and that is a prime example of the toxic religious ideals that I was just talking about! If you’re not familiar with the Pentecostal church, it’s pretty much a brainwashing cult. They take the Bible way too seriously, they believe they can speak in tongues, women can’t cut their hair and can’t wear pants…. And I was fully immersed in that religion. Thankfully after only two years, I quickly lost faith and went to satanism. Because I went to church, I became more depressed, afraid of death, and afraid to be myself. When I became atheist, I shopped around philosophies to keep my mind occupied. And I realized that Satanism is the perfect treatment for toxic religious indoctrination.

When you think about it, that’s why Laveyan Satanism was founded in the first place. Anton Lavey was a pianist for a catholic church and a carnival. He founded the Satanic Church after witnessing all the hypocrisy that was in play. And thankfully, that religion that he founded went against all that toxic indoctrination that religion can cause.

So if you’re an atheist that is still recovering from all the toxic things that religion has done to you, you’ve come to the right place.

One of the best things about Laveyan satanism is that it’s very individual! Anton Lavey himself said that satanism goes according to one’s needs. Now, this doesn’t apply to every church, but in mine, they really were against individuality. Everyone had to be of one accord and one belief, and that didn’t give much room to be myself. So the fact that satanism encourages individualism really helps me. It challenges my beliefs and helps me to assess what I really believe, and helps me accept that there is nothing wrong with that.

The second thing, which was what majorly drew me to satanism, was sexual freedom. Laveyan satanism is very pro LGBT, pro premarital sex, pro polyamory. One of the biggest reasons why people leave their faith is how sexually repressive their religion can be. My church was homophobic, and they firmly believed that through the power of prayer you can change your sexuality. That obviously doesn’t work. Through sexual freedom, you can slowly get over the trauma that religion can cause concerning your sexuality. Honestly, this was something I didn’t really struggle with, even though I am bisexual. If you want to share your experience, please leave a comment below.

Last but not least, Satanism encourages you to be your own redeemer. My absolute favorite quote from all of the books that Anton Lavey wrote is ‘Say unto thyself, I am mine own redeemer.’ I feel like this sums up almost everything you need to know about satanism. Satan gives you the power. Satan makes you the god. Self preservation is the highest law. When you come from a past of mental and identity issues, this mindset is amazing. Religion, on the other hand, can shame you for not relying on God. That was how it was in my case. But it is a simple truth, that you are the only one who can evoke change in your life. You are the one who holds the power. And Satanism is a philosophy that can help build that power.

I hope that this has encouraged and empowered you in a way. Leave a comment if you feel like I missed anything important, or even if you disagree with me. Thank you so much!

Seeking a Therapist

So, with my first post I wanted to talk about seeking a therapist, because it can be a struggle if you’re doing it by yourself. I feel like this topic isn’t being spoken about as much as it should. There are articles online, but I just wanted to give my perspective as someone who had to go through the struggle and came out the other side with an amazing advocate dedicated to my treatment. Without this, it can be so hard to live a better life regardless of the reason you need therapy.

So, just a little bit of a background before we get into this, I wanted to talk a little bit about how my journey was to finding a therapist. I have been struggling with depression off and on all my life. I started seeking out a therapist when I was eighteen, because it got to the point where I was feeling suicidal and was self harming. I really struggled with self worth, so it was incredibly difficult to come to the mindset that I deserved help. This is an obstacle I still have to face to this day.

At around eighteen, I decided to finally seek out help. I went to a family doctor at first, which didn’t really do much at all. They issued me a referral for a psych evaluation, which was issued to a nearby hospital. I ended up waiting for months, had the referral sent three times. Nothing ended up happening.

It was my mom who convinced me to actually try calling for a therapist. For weeks, I had searched everywhere online, gathered the courage to email them, and when that didn’t work, I would call them.

At the time, I despised phone calls. For some reason, they triggered so much anxiety, especially when they went to voicemail. And it didn’t help when none of them were available. This was a terrible obstacle for me. The stressful phone calls made my depression so much worse, and I thought about harming myself constantly.

Eventually my mom made calls to a few therapists, and booked an emergency appointment with one who was available. I went to that therapist for about a year, and right now he’s helping me find another one for bpd.

So I’m not gonna lie. Finding a therapist can be a pain. I don’t want to share my experience just to deter you, but rather to give a realistic expectation about what the situation may be like. You may have to work really hard to get the help you deserve, and you may need a lot of help from your friends and family. If you have a family doctor that can refer you to a therapist, then I suppose it will be a lot easier, but I really wasn't that lucky. But I can promise you that in the end, it will be worth it.

Now, to get to the actual advice. 

Number 1: If you’re looking for a therapist online, don’t entirely make your choice based on what they ‘specialize’ in treating. Sometimes, finding a therapist whose personality that resonates with you is more important. I feel like starting out, this is perfectly fine. Finding a good match can really benefit you in the long run, even if it doesn’t stop there. In some cases, you may have some mental health issues that your therapist may not be able to treat. In this case, they should be able to act as an advocate on your behalf. They could refer you to a better qualified therapist or psychiatrist that they see is a good fit. They can even give you insight on where you can improve on in your care. I am actually in this situation right now. My therapist has been an amazing advocate for getting me better treatment, and I honestly don’t know where I would be without his help.

Number 2: So now, you found a therapist that you want to meet and make sure they’re a good fit. If they are available, call them in person. Usually you can make a free consultation over the phone or in person. You can also email them, but unfortunately therapists don’t usually receive all the emails sent to them. If making phone calls is going to be an issue for you, you’re way better off having a friend/family member calling for you. I would’ve saved myself a ton of stress if I had just done this.

First and foremost, ask if they are a properly licensed therapist? This is the question you need to ask, especially if you live in the US. There are a few states that don't require a proper license or education in order to practice therapy. If you happen to go to a 'therapist' who isn't educated, you can risk losing a lot of money to a person who is not qualified to treat you. If you do not live in the US, do some research about the laws in your country.

Here are some more questions you should ask: How long have they been practicing? What experience do they have working with your problems you're experiencing? What methods of therapy do they use? What is not private and confidential about what we do? Do they really believe they can help you?

If you feel like this therapist isn’t going to be a good fit, do NOT fight your doubts. Try to find another therapist, because ultimately, you should dedicate your time and money to someone who you trust with your problems.

I really hope this helps. Feel free to add anything I missed.
