An interesting realisation came to me as I was sleeping last night. I used to struggle quite a bit with nightmares. There are actually times when the night terrors are there and when they are not. But recently they’ve been trying to haunt me again. When I noticed this beginning to happen, I...

This sermon comes to me during a time when I feel I need it most. I’ve been paying a lot of attention to myself and my emotional health lately and I’ve been coming across emotional issues that I understand the origin of, but I’ve never known how to deal with them. My romantic relationship has...

Firstly, my apologies if someone has already answered this. I just want to say that from my understanding and personal experience, the Gods indeed do help us when we struggle to help ourselves. They don’t intervene directly (that being in a way that infringes on our free-will), but they instead...

I was reading this and could only think of the first Satanic Virtue of Freedom. I regularly have conversations with certain individuals, especially christians and I’m frequently told that Satanism is too difficult because we rely “too much” on ourselves and what we can do on our own. Coming...

Greetings High Priest. I had sent you an email a few days ago regarding something AI related that I feel would be beneficial to The Joy of Satan. I’m not sure if there’s a way to message you directly on the forums so I’m making a mention of it in this manner. I thought I should just make you...

I was actually just thinking about the dedication ritual today and the meaning it holds. This was an eye opener for me High Priest. In all honesty I feel I've been very negligent where my walk to Godhead with the Gods is concerned. I make all kinds of excuses about being too tired to meditate...

Every single word of this post spoke to a part of me that's been silently screaming and telling me to get better and improve because I deserve the fruits of such labour. Some of the things you said felt like they were directed specifically at me and I'm mindblown. I have no words High Priest...

I'm at a loss for words really... It almost feels like the Gods were speaking through you to give me the answer to this burning question. I honestly can't thank you enough. I'm going to read this response again, hold on to these words and have the conversation with her again. There's no...

That's a beautiful response. The person I was speaking to was looking at things from a lens of "fairness". So from her perspective, it isn't fair that people with disabilities have certain struggles where Spiritual Advancement is concerned. I honestly however, feel like a lens of "fairness"...

Reading this reminds me of the Satanic Ethics, particularly how Queen Astarte teaches us to build and create as it is a holy act, rather than destroy. Gaining understanding, knowledge, wisdom and eventually returning to the Gods out of pudd Love is something that can take time and effort...

Reading this post reminds me a lot of the works of Stoics like Seneca and Epictetus. I must thank you HPS, for reminding me and for also giving clear steps I could take to improve my life slowly and also the benefits to doing such things. I feel excited to start right away and I honestly think...

They'll have to deal with a harsh reality of living with mental disability for an entire lifetime huh?? Thank you for your response. I'm honestly still left wondering if Spiritual Satanism is inaccessible to them on account of their mental disabilities or if there can be some sort of way for...

Greetings HP. I was having a conversation with someone close to me regarding the purpose of Spiritual Satanism, one of them being spiritual advancement in particular. In order for one to advance spiritually, they have to engage in meditation, yoga and to learn about the nature of our reality...

"Oy vey!! Our strange rituals where we abuse and slaughter goats and chickens are no longer working. How come this be? We have done this thousands of years. This is very big sad. Feel sorry for us goyim. It's good and very bible" I bet they feel and sound this entitled to good fortune after...

Thank you for all your tireless work HP. I've never felt as close to the Gods as I do nowadays thanks to the rituals. I've quite honestly been a bit obsessed with improving myself spiritually and the beautiful work that you do for us and the Gods here at the JoS continues to fuel that fire in...

Lately I've been feeling a sense of urgency where performing our RTRs is concerned. I used to only wish that I could do them every day while making excuses as to why I can't and also engaging in procrastination and telling myself: "Oh I'll do it later tonight or even tomorrow" or something...

This was beautiful H.P. I am truly grateful for every single one of your words. Whenever I feel disheartened or hopeless in some way, I always revisit some of your timeless words and find myself reminded of why I am here. Why WE are all here. It truly is a blessing for all of us to be gathered...
