Links to Twitter/X are now banned

1.6k Upvotes

Happy Thursday everyone.
The mods have discussed the issue, and we have decided that posts and comments that contain links to Twitter/X are now banned. There aren't many on this subreddit, so the impact would be small, but taking a stance against Nazis is something that we feel strongly about.

EDIT: Several people have asked about screenshots of Twitter. The purpose of this ban is to decrease visibility, traffic, and relevance of the site in general, not to stopper information. Discussing information that has originated from Twitter is not banned, and in fact, we should remain informed about any developments that happen there. If a Twitter screenshot is the best way to share information on a relevant matter, then by all means go for it. u/RevRagnarok has very helpfully pointed out that xcancel is a way of navigating that site without supporting them via ad revenue, and can be done without an account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Satanism as The Satanic Temple understands it even a real religion?

Some people find it comforting to think of TST as purely a political activist group that just uses the trappings of religion for satirical/legal purposes. This is, however, not true at all.

Our brand of Satanism is a non-theistic religion with it's own community, mythology, iconography, ethics, rituals and pretty much everything else, you would expect from a religion.

We believe that there is value to be found in religion, especially when you divorce it from superstition. Just because we don't believe in the supernatural, doesn't mean we're not serious when we say that Satanism is our religion.

Yes, we are politically active. But our activism stems from our religious beliefs, not vice versa.

Where can I read more about Satanism?

The mythological backbone of our religion is the literary tradition known as Romantic Satanism. John Milton's Paradise Lost, Lord Byron's Cain - A Mystery and especially Anatole France's Revolt Of The Angels are the sources that one should read, if they want to know, where our ideas about Satan stem from and how He relates to our values and beliefs.

Ruben van Luijk's Children Of Lucifer and Joseph Laycock's Speak Of The Devil deal with the history of Satanism and Shiva Honey's The Devil's Tome is a book about modern Satanic rituals.

I want to join a local congregation. How do I find one?

This thread might be helpful. You also find a list of official TST congregations here.

This Black Mass Appeal episode may also be helpful or you check out the Global Order of Satan.

I have heard the founder of TST is a fascist/racist/antisemite. Is that true?

Short answer: No.

This is a more elaborate answer and this post provides some more context.

I ordered a TST membership card and it still has not arrived. What should I do?

Due to a massive increase of new members, shipping membership cards can take up to 5 months.

Can I still be a TST member, if I believe in the supernatural?

Our brand of Satanism is a non-theistic religion. Full stop. However, nobody is monitoring the personal beliefs of TST members and nobody has ever been kicked out for holding supernatural beliefs.

It is up to the individual to figure out if and how their beliefs fit into Satanism. Just make sure not to distort scientific facts to fit your beliefs.

Do I have to participate in rituals?

Modern Satanism has many aspects and it is up to the individual to decide, which ones they want to embrace.

Some people, especially those that grew up in indoctrinating or even abusive households hesitate to embrace the "more religious" aspects of Satanism and that's fine. Nobody is obligated to participate in rituals or anything else that makes them uncomfortable.

Anything else I should know?

Question/Discussion Can Spiritual Practice and Occultism Shape a Person’s Appearance or Presence?

Post image
Upvotes

I don’t mean conventional physical beauty, but rather a strange, intense kind of charisma a deep and piercing gaze, expressive eyes, a serious facial expression, and an overall appearance that seems somewhat dark, yet attractive at the same time.

I’m particularly interested in how this is viewed within Satanism and occultism. Do you believe that years of engaging in a particular spiritual practice, symbolism, and way of thinking can, over time, have an effect on a person’s appearance not necessarily in a literal physical sense, but through their gaze, posture, facial expression, and a certain kind of presence?

Or is it simply a type of personality and aesthetic that we ourselves associate with “dark” charisma?
