Best starting points for practicing traditional Satanism?
gpt
Read The Satanic Bible and realize that Anton was an idiot. Then read up on history of demons and where beings like Satan originally came from. Demonolatry and Rev. Cain are other good sources to start at, but the importance is they're all different and are different POVs of Satanism, theistically and atheistically. You can use them to start to form your own opinions, especially in regard with how to treat demons-- are they your friends, teachers, or would you like to actually worship them? You'll probably find a good place to lift off from there.

P.S. I learned to not EVER fear demons if you're going to be a genuine traditional Satanist. People will try to tell you about protection circles and things like that, but I've done the work for almost 2 years now and I have never found a reason to fear a demon if I treated them with respect and friendship and not something that could blow up in my hands. That's when you really start to make it.

Demons or whatever you call them can fuck with you in terrible ways and then be like, 'oh you didn't enjoy that, my bad' like even non maliciously. The best way of psychic self defense is learning to close off your mind behind a wall rather than banishing or some nonsense protection circle that some promote though. It's all in your head anyways though. If you believe yourself to be defended, you will be.
