As Satanists, we really need to be bonding together instead of driving a wedge between us. So what if someone actually believes in Satan, if they perform witchcraft, or if they don't believe in anything but the power of themself?

Why do we have to sit and bicker and point fingers over who is and who isn't a "real satanist" when we're ALL satanists?

Pointing fingers only serves to tear apart what little community we have, so why do it?

You heard it here, having self-confidence and self-love is satanic!!

I made this. Don’t know why. Now it’s y’all’s problem.

Anyway. Catch me doing yoga in my new living room, which has Halloween-themed decor (including a pumpkin with bones on in it and a sparkly purple skull), while rock n roll plays in the background over the sound of my goth spouse playing video games and their sister playing Dungeons and Dragons

Gilded Golden Effigy

The Chicago World’s Fair was shut down because the Satanic church was using it as a cover up to acquire donation money.

Le Genie du Mal ("The Evil Genius" or "The Genius of Evil") by sculptor Guilliame Geefs depicts fallen angel Lucifer with a tortured expression, in chains, carrying a crown and one half of a broken scepter. Other details include the bitten apple at his clawed feet, as well as the other half of his scepter. This work of white marble currently resides in St. Paul's Cathedral in Belgium.

We all have our secret selves. That yearning voice inside screaming to be let out. We have such a short life to live on this Earth. Don’t box yourself in, let your deepest fantasies run free.

The Serpents of Antiquity

In these times, there hasn’t been a decent representation of Theistic Satanism or Luciferianism that properly portrays the demonic teachings. And with LaVeyans and other non-theistic groups, it becomes even more difficult for aspiring demonolaters to find a place to belong. Because of this, our current of the Serpents of Antiquity will be accepting additional members, allowing the followers of the demons to be part of our movement. For this, no payment is necessary, just dm me to set your membership up. If you wish for a printable membership card, the price is only $5.

Serpents of Antiquity is a new current, an ideology based upon philosophical principles, spiritual teachings, etc. Our aim is to allow others to be aware that there is much more to Satanism and Luciferianism than what the atheistic groups say, and that we are not an evil-worshipping group either. We follow the Path of Illumination, of spiritual transcendence and freedom from illusions. The demons are the honourable teachers of this, the ones who train us to become stronger and wiser through hardship.

The purpose of this current is to support a viable solution to any Theistic Satanist or Demonolater that wishes to embrace an ideology free from past mistakes with regards to Luciferian or Satanic representation. It is designed to accept all those who are open to change and to the lessons of the spirits, so as to gain empowerment and freedom from the confines of religious dogma and societal guilt-tripping. As a result, there is no gate-keeping, as we aim to embrace diverse social groups and minorities, provided that they do not support or perpetuate hate-related actions and oppression to other seekers of truth. Additionally, no matter if you primarily serve Satan or Leviathan, you are still welcome to join our current, as long as you also value Lucifer and his teachings. Each of the High Kings and Queens of Hell are respected and honoured by us, though Lucifer and Lilith are at the front of our current since Illumination is our primary goal.

Entry is free of charge, with a single cost of $5 if someone wishes to have a printable membership card. You can also pay $5 for a pdf of some of our many teachings that we make available from time-to-time, including unique demonic diagrams for your spiritual practices. No obligations, hidden fees, or rituals necessary for membership. In fact, there are no activities or events that you are compelled to do, because this is not a cult or organization- it is an ideology, a way of looking at things. People who wish to become trained in Luciferian witchcraft, please find on our site the particular service and apply for an interview for the Inner Circle of Fire.

Everyone is welcomed, with regards to ethnic/racial/gender/sexuality. We only actively oppose hate groups, this is not tolerated among us. If you have any questions, we are also open to this and can answer whatever is needed. If anyone wishes to join the Serpents of Antiquity, please either dm me or @Melias-Cimitiere.

FAQ (read below for frequently asked questions):

Question: I spoke with some representatives, but who is your leader?

Answer: Since we are not a cult, church, or a secular organization, we have no physical leader. We have acknowledged Lucifer as our Guide, who takes a very active part in directing this current and its ideology. All the decision-making and the structure of this current is attributed to him.

Question: If you are not a church or a secular organization, what exactly are you?

Answer: SoA is as much a spiritual movement as is a social movement. It deviates from established religions, putting the focus on the individual empowerment and Illumination, and discards the majority of dogmas, wherever they come from. That is the reason why it is open to such a diverse audience, who prove by their own membership that they’re willing to take a stand, morally and spiritually, against the tide of nihilism and entropy that seems to be prevalent in modern times.

Question: I belong to a small gender minority that I didn’t see listed, do you discriminate on the basis of gender identity?

Answer: There is no discrimination whatsoever on any person belonging to the LGBTQ+ or any other affiliation that has to do their own personal choice. We believe in individual freedom and your choice to be the person you want to be, while belonging to a large community with the same spiritual ideology.

Question: A few months ago, I moved away from being part of a monotheistic religion. Is there any blame or stigma attached to ex-members of such religions?

Answer: Not at all. We believe that people attain maturity after several years of soul-seeking, therefore, it is not possible in most cases to find what you are spiritually comfortable with from the start. We also understand that peer pressure and the need to conform to society frequently oppresses sensitive and spiritual individuals, affecting their choices. You are welcome to join us, if you are comfortable with accepting our core values as principles that will guide you and assist you in your future choices.

Question: I was recently fired from my job and I just wanted to ask whether money will be asked of me to become a member?

Answer: There are absolutely no costs involved to become accepted in our community. A membership card with your chosen name and your assigned number can be digitally issued at the cost of $5. There are no other costs involved for membership in the Serpents of Antiquity current. Specific services are available to anyone wishing personal consultation or resolution of particular problems. These services have varying costs and can be found on our webpage, however they are entirely optional and you will never be coerced in any spiritual or financial way.

Question: I am diagnosed with a couple of mental health problems and I face significant challenges as a result in my everyday life. Does this impact upon my membership and what can you possibly offer me?

Answer: We emphasize with this, as many of our member have (or had in the past) issues with mental health. It is an unfortunate truth that the sensitive people and those who are different in any way are often marginalized, oppressed, stigmatized, and blamed. This leads to social isolation, which is an added problem to any of the issues they are facing. We do not discourage anyone from joining us on the basis of such problems. In fact, many people have found support and affirmation of their inner-strength simply by being in a community that does not judge them nor is afraid to be different. To be in a place with like-minded people creates a sense of bonding, even if the members’ life-choices differ in several other fields. It is the common mindset that binds them. Despite a few of our members’ being health professionals, we actively encourage you to seek medical assistance in times of crisis, as we cannot engage in a professional relationship on health-related matters. We also discourage any members currently suffering from psychosis to engage in certain ritual practices, as they could potentially trigger relapses and may not be conducive to the state of one’s mental health due to the challenges they present. Of course, such ritual practices are entirely optional and they are not an obligatory part of membership.

Question: If I become a member and wish to leave, how does this work? Am I under some obligation towards you?

Answer: You’re absolutely free to join or leave at your discretion. We are not a cult, which aim to brainwash people with propaganda or restrict personal freedom. If at any moment you decide that this is not for you, or that your spiritual preferences have changed, you can leave without delay, with our blessings. We would appreciate a message or email just to tell us you are leaving, but this is up to you.

“I am sure Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton—who famously spends a good deal of his time composing press releases about Religious Liberty issues in other states—will be proud to see that Texas’s robust Religious Liberty laws, which he so vociferously champions, will prevent future Abortion Rituals from being interrupted by superfluous government restrictions meant only to shame and harass those seeking an abortion," wrote Satanic Temple spokesperson, Lucien Greaves in a statement.

Fun Fact: Banning abortion is not only an infringement on the religious freedoms of Satanists, but of Jews as well.

In Judaism, life does not begin at conception, and existing life is considered more sacred than potential life. So, if the pregnant person’s life is at risk due to the pregnancy, they are supposed to abort.

Now in this instance, the abortion is protected by Texas law, however, it also allows for your neighbor, who most likely will be ignorant of your circumstances, to put you through legal hell.

All thanks to Texas' new bounty law, which allows you not just to file a civil suit against the person having an abortion, but the person who performed it or even drove them to the procedure, awards the "bounty hunters" with $10,000....

More irony from the "We want a government so small, it fits in women's uteruses," crowd.
