Hi, just wanted to say hello to everyone as I'm new to the site, and actually very new to Satanism in general. I've read a few books (Paths to Satan, and the Satanic Bible by Lavey) but I have an awful lot to learn. I am still on the fence (do the bird jokes ever get old?) as to whether my beliefs are atheistic or theistic, or pantheistic for that matter.

I had tried to be Wiccan for a long time, however, slowly grew wary of the naivete that the majority of the white light peddlers pushed on me. Also, I feel like we shouldn't label certain emotions as negative and to be quashed out, that's the same thing the organized religions do y'know? So the idea of embracing the range of emotions, and in doing so learning how to master dealing with them safely made sense to me.

Anyway, here I am, and I have a lot to learn and hope that I can make some real progress here. Thanks!
