Hello to our new members!

Welcome to the T4S!

Why don't you introduce yourselves, maybe share your interest in Satanism, what led you here, Just introduce yourself, say hello?

[Henrik Gustav II]

My name is Henrik. I've been a Satanist for a long while. Since the 90s. I began Satanism, like most people: I read The Satanic Bible. Although LaVey is a lasting rational influence on my mind, I have other sources of influence, such as Thelema and all of Crowley's writings, Western and Eastern philosophy, Paganism, etc. And so my worldviews aren't just shaped and influenced by Satanism. I do not belong to any Satanic groups or organizations. Never have. I am a member of the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids.

That is interesting from what I have studied the Druids where still in Ireland up to the flight of the Galeic Lords in around 1617 they where called Bards and their patron saint was Brigit they kept the Druid goddess disguised as saint. I also read the Druids where still in Wales under different names for quite awhile. It seems from the research done that most of Europe was still heavily Pagan into the 15th century and onwards. I know the emblem of the Druids was the serpent around a staff or tree and from the statements of ancient Roman's who lived in India and Gaul the Druid society was the same as the Indo-Aryan Vedic societies in the east. It seems from Manly P.Hall's work the Druids mainly lived like ascetic's doing spiritual practices in the forests and caves. This is identical to the practices on Patmos. I think the Druid god and the main god of ancient Europe was Muruga-Shiva.

I didn't realize the Druids remained around up until the 1600s! Thank you for all this information Don. The Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids don't have such historical data to impart.

Druids being associated with indo-aryans, sharing similar practices with other pagan traditions, have become a subject of interest for me as of late. I read a recent article about this very topic actually: https://archive.org/details/nexion-zin ... mode/1up

Thomas Sheridan mentions this about the Bards he is an Irish author on the subject and has its own utube channel. This might be in his book 'The Druid Code'. There are also ancient Druid temples in Oklahoma as well with Ogham hymns to Bel on the walls. There are Druid sites all over America.

Hi Owen! How nice to see you here
Welcome to the T4S!

The being whom I identify as Satan and the others like Him are positive entities who have been in existence long before the bible. We, the T4S Clergy, don't identify with the biblical Satan. I too have felt His presence and it felt the same for myself. Very powerful, cool, calm and soothing. Positive. Refreshing. Like a clear cool glass of water.

The color He presented with in terms of energy was also cool, clear and deep blue, almost a violet tinge to the blue.

I know writings about sleep paralysis talk often that during this time the person experiencing paralysis will feel an oppressive presence. Its kind of written off as just a weird dream kind of thing. I suspect theres something more at work, personally.

Hey Owenavo! Glad to have some new people here.

Owen, I think you're fortunate to have found the path so early on in your life. In my case I searched for decades
