It is some kind of poly-resin I think. It only weighs 35 pounds. It cost almost $600.00 on amazon. It is three feet of driving my batshit crazy cousin to never come over to my place again. Worth every penny.
Here it is if you are interested: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0773BBH2M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
>TST leaders argue that belief in God or other supernatural concepts is a poor criterion for classifying something as a religion. Greaves has argued, “Religions enjoy certain privileges and exemptions that would be reprehensible ... to reserve for the supernaturalists alone. While we reject superstition, our values are no less sincerely held. And while we view Satanism in metaphorical terms, our tenets and symbolism are far from arbitrary.” Daniel Walker of Satanic Bay Area, a group allied with TST, explained, “We have this assumption that religion and theism are synonyms. If you can just get [the public] to understand that distinction[,] that's sort of the Rosetta stone.”

Satan represents rebellion against tyranny, freedom, knowledge, empowerment, and is a damn cool guy.
There's a great quick video about Baphomet here.
And there are plenty of things that we do that are religious: we have gatherings, perform rituals, and some consider activism a type of worship.
I recommend checking out the FAQ on the website (link in the sub menu) for more detail. Check out some of the posts here and listen to Black Mass Appeal if you want some in depth discussion on these topics!
I am not in the EU, but I see it in the states saying it is 2.99 to rent. Here is the link that I used:

>Political theorist Corey Robin argues that Conservatives have a tendency to “play victim and victor” by advancing their privilege while framing their actions as a restoration of some damage perpetrated by subversive forces. This dynamic is especially at play in debate surrounding Ten Commandments monuments at courthouses and state capitals. Often the politicians who proposed these monuments find themselves in a “win/win” situation. If their monument goes unchallenged, they have proven their credentials as a Christian politician. On the other hand, if such proposals are defeated in court, this is not seen as evidence that proposing them was a bad idea or that the legislator is ignorant about constitutional law; rather, the legislator can claim to be the victim of political correctness and anti-Christian persecution.

>There is more than a little irony in CoS accusing TST of being insincere because of their origins in play and satire. Satanism scholar Per Faxneld noted, “irony and playfulness are significant traits of LaVey’s texts which are often ignored.” Like LaVey before them, TST members are quite transparent that they have invented their rituals and tenets for their own purposes using their own reason and creativity.

6"x9" is (I think) slightly larger than A5, but should be pretty close... found this one. A few others came up on search, mostly unlined paper though.
This is the one I ordered. There were a couple that said it came broken, but mine was packed well. Amazon also has good customer service if it doesn't show up in one piece.
I'll spend part of the day with my kids — exchanging gifts, eating, etc. For myself, I like to spend the evening watching Terry Pratchett's Hogfather.
I love my little desktop Festivus kit. It plays recordings of Frank Costanza expounding on the holiday.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. 😞
If you are looking for other readings, let me recommend Mortalism: Readings on the Meaning of Life. I found it very comforting after my father's death.
This book is a good place to start.
I highly recommend Mortalism: Readings on the Meaning of Life by Peter Heinegg.
It's a collection of both poetic and prose writings that examine the relationship between life and death from the world view in which there are no afterlives. It starts with the Epic of Gilgamesh and extends to modern times. I found the readings very comforting and inspirational when my father died.
There are some mental health professionals that really ruin the whole field. Heard the author of this book talk (did not buy or read book) https://www.amazon.com/Solved-7-Power-Disciplined-Problem-Solving/dp/1544530048 and when the medical professionals couldn't find the cause of his wifes illness they pretty much made up a story of them causing it themselves with no other evidence than whelp if they can't find an issue then lets just say their crazy.
I strongly recommend "Satanic Feminism: Lucifer as the Liberator of Woman in Nineteenth Century Culture" - https://www.amazon.com/Satanic-Feminism-Liberator-Nineteenth-Century-Esotericism/dp/0190664479. In-depth and fascinating answer to exactly the question you're asking here.
I'm actually in Brazil, I don't know if they would ship to where you are. But here is the link:
It depends on the person, in Satanism individualism is an important part, so it's normal for people to have their own customized/personalized rituals, and it's perfectly okay if some people don't partake.
While there do exist "official" rituals, some of which can be found here the full book here
But it's perfectly normal for people to make their own or adapt certain aspects of many into something that relates to them.
For example, I try to journal as close to daily as possible, I also occasionally do my own personal tarrot readings. Rituals can be such a personalized thing that it is difficult to give you an answer.
It can be something simple, or something elaborate. Ultimately it depends in the individual
> psychology?
I didn't know this was real thing, just so wried. And These people need so much help but their own will do everything they can to keep them from getting it.
"Reinventing Collapse: The Soviet Experience and American Prospects" by Dmitry Orlov
By a Russian/American who was in the USSR (Leningrad) when it all fell apart, and what he witnessed as strategies to cope. Won't help with the unique culture wars we are in, but will with most everything else that is falling apart, especially climate change. Bottom line is mitigate negative effects on you and family, if that fails, strive to adapt. I know, sounds nebulous. He gives great examples. The more you can stabilize your surroundings and family from the effects of turmoil, the better you will be to respond to things you can't directly change, like Roe. He also has other books but I haven't read them yet, to include "The Five Stages of Collapse". It sure helped me cope. In fact, I'm going to revisit it.
> DO YOU WORSHIP SATAN?: > No, nor do we believe in the existence of Satan or the supernatural. The Satanic Temple believes that religion can, and should, be divorced from superstition. As such, we do not promote a belief in a personal Satan. To embrace the name Satan is to embrace rational inquiry removed from supernaturalism and archaic tradition-based superstitions. Satanists should actively work to hone critical thinking and exercise reasonable agnosticism in all things. Our beliefs must be malleable to the best current scientific understandings of the material world — never the reverse.
https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/faq
Satan represents individualism, critical thinking, liberation from oppression, embrace of harmless social taboos, the relentless pursuit of knowledge, rebellion against unjust arbitrary authority, and freedom from superstitious fears (among other things). I recommend the book <em>Children of Lucifer: The Origins of Modern Religious Satanism</em> by Ruben van Luijk.
Our idea of Satan is not from the Bible, but from works like Paradise Lost or The Revolt of the Angels. It is in the same “extended universe” as Christianity, so to speak, but has more in common with Gnosticism than with mainstream Christianity.
Did you know that the version of the Bible you’ve been taught is beyond highly edited. It’s contrived by rulers to subjugate their people. They made it work for them by removing tons of content. Most of that content aligns with eastern philosophy or manifestation. Like they took the magic /how to actually pray/manifest and how to be happy/content. I don’t think the temple is the first right step for you.
Look at this title. See if your library has a copy. Worth a thought. Missing Books of the Bible: Removed in the 19th Century https://www.amazon.com/dp/154234879X/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_30J1M1N7QV39ZK8V8H5X
Welcome! I am an avid reader, and of the books I have read on romantic Satanism so far, this one is by far the most powerful:
The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0052REUW0/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_NWSMWBAZZFYZCZAV59XQ
I absolutely encourage your curiosity, and there are many other books out there that are wonderful. Check out the TST website, as the recommendations are great. Ave Satanus!
I found this book:
The Satanic Narratives: A Modern Satanic Bible https://smile.amazon.com/dp/0996810102/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_X5WAS0CNN4RMTWB8QGR5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It was REALLY helpful in terms of understanding various possible views of what Satan could represent.
This book:
Compassionate Satanism: An Introduction to Modern Satanic Practice https://smile.amazon.com/dp/0578914697/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_YXGH85B2C1YK1J0KAZTX
Also really helpful in understanding where TST is coming from. Written by a former TST chapter head. Really interesting and enjoyable read.
Again, English teacher. I've found the reading list on the TST website very enlightening.

No one is safe from an enemy with sufficient skill and determination. Having said that, unless you are doing something to get a TLA interested in you (thwarting three letter agencies is outside the scope of this thread, but I could recommend some more advanced reading on computer security), a reputable VPN that keeps logs to a minimum should be adequate. I like Mullvad VPN myself...
An additional benefit of a VPN is that it prevents your ISP from seeing what you are doing online. I used to work for one. :( Yes they are known to sell this kind of data to a highest bidder, engage in illegal surveillance and throttle your traffic in an attempt to scam you into paying more for internet. They are also known for "instructing" their employees to lie about that sort of thing.
Hope that helps.
This is much more worth your time.
If you live in a larger city there are probably some atheist AA groups. You should check out this podcast about Sober Satanism: https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cDovL2JsYWNrbWFzc2FwcGVhbC5saWJzeW4uY29tL3Jzcw&episode=MzdkMGFiYWNjYzZkNGYyOGI2NTlkZDZkOWMxZDA4NzU
I think I had duplicate copies (gifts) of this edition with illustrations by Milo Winter. I remember the illustrations much more than the fables. I do remember the moral "God helps those who help themselves" and learning much later how much this contradicted Bible teachings, which advocate sitting around and waiting for Gawd to do things for you.
https://www.zazzle.com/satanic+ties
Found that with some quick Google-fu. They seem to have a fair selection, though I know nothing about the company or quality of their products.
Significantly less luck with bow ties.
https://www.amazon.com/Bowtie-Adjustable-Bowties-Wedding-Necktie/dp/B0819L1NS4
I can't vouch for the quality, not being a consumer of poetry myself, but I recall that a member of my local chapter recently published a book of poetry called <em>Baphometian Duality</em>. Amazon appears to have a fairly extensive preview.
I got this one on Amazon a few years ago when the TST shop was sold out.
And also a silly suggestion bc I thought these were pretty great hahaha

I bought these off Amazon when I had a similar living situation. They're very dim, but enough light to see by, and motion-activated so they won't stay on at night in common spaces!

>It may surprise some that a community that rejects supernaturalism finds such meaning in ritual. However, theorists of ritual suggest that, in a serious way, communal ritual creates our reality and identity. We might assume that for a former Christian, being baptized or unbaptised is a purely intellectual proposition, contingent only on the individual's metaphysical beliefs. But ontological shifts in status often do not seem “really real” unless there somehow enacted within a communal context.

If you're interested in ritual, I have my book The Devil's Tome in ebook form, which is fairly inexpensive: https://www.amazon.com/Devils-Book-Modern-Satanic-Ritual-ebook/dp/B086D7MMYL/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+devil%27s+tome&qid=1608488130&sr=8-1
I also have a bunch of free rituals and resources on my site: www.serpentinae.com
I recommend Damien Ba'al's The Satanic Praxis. He basically takes mindfulness and relaxation techniques and puts a Satanic spin on them.
I use a phone app for meditation. You can program it for different durations. I started with 15 minutes and went to 20.
You can check out the Free Mindfulness Project for more ideas. Other things I've found to be effective are progressive relaxation, prana breathing, and yoga.
This quote appears to be from a documentary director/author who writes specifically about racism and religion in America, so im sure he has done plenty of research. I'm going to check out his film later since it's on Amazon.
