Everytime peiple see a ritual they refer to it as satanic ritual
your typical satanism is more of a philosophy. baphomet is a mere symbol. in typical satanism you are your own god. not literally a god but you are the one leading your own life. you are the one who makes differences. you are the one who makes decisions. you are the one who has power
baphomet represents duality and oppositions unifying
it's the nature of man. you have your strong side, emotional side. or look at it as masculine and feminine. you have your good side and your bad side. bright and dark, negative and positive, optimistic and pessimistic, etc. many people hate the differences they have within themselves. they don't fully accept and embrace themselves. many people hide from their true self and never become their true self
we have a finite amount of say and control in our lives. you have very little choice. but at a certain point you can gain more control if you learn who you really are, what you want to do with your time on earth, and think about how to do those things in a manner that satisfies you
with all that in mind others will not hold you back from progressing in your life and improving yourself. as long as you can enjoy your limited time on earth that's all that matters. if someone wants you to live differently, think differently, behave differently, do anything differently than how you want to that is not your problem. you are the one who decides who you are and what you do. there is no problem with doing whatever you want to do as long as it does not harm others
but as for rituals there are many things that are rituals that people do not think of as satanic. if you go to church you are participating in rituals. if you bless your house that is a ritual. if you have coffee and bagels every day to prepare yourself for work that is a ritual

If that's the dogma of Satanism then I guess I'm Satanist wow lol

Yeah I was mainly referering to the rituals that take place secretly in abandoned places
Lol tell me if you like my breakdown
how is mormonism basically like islam? it is a christian cult
Nobody is reading all that
>>> Do you have any advice on how I can learn ...
Well paganism is a path and you can go in any direction you like
But lots of pagans start off with wicca as it has lots of pagan roots and it makes things very clear and easy
that is false. lots certainly do not start off with wicca
wicca is the most popular tbf, so it could probably be true. like the gateway to pagan religions
but tbf, I don't think there's really any actual statistics for it being the one people start with either way. especially since people have different viewpoints and definitions of it, a good amount wouldn't consider themselves pagans, and then a good amount of the ones who would tend to combine various different pagan ideologies and concepts
The modern definitions of it tend to be vague. So it's probably hard to tell
Wicca and pagan people are generally fun and cool though
>>> that is false. lots certainly do not start...
Excuse me yes they do
>>> wicca is the most popular tbf, so it could...
Yes in wicca it's kinda the same path as paganism and many learn wicca that leads them to paganism
So wicca is actually paganism based same beliefs
Just in wicca it comes with rules where as paganism there aren't any rules but both believe the harm none and some pagans do believe in the law of 3 but not all pagans follow it
But wicca has exactly the same foundations as paganism
Wicca is not as old as paganism though
>>> The modern definitions of it tend to be va...
Wrong nothing in wicca or paganism is vague
yess, i wasn't sayin it wasn't pagan, moreso that it opens the door to the other ones for a lot of people where they tend to pick and choose ideas and concepts to live by
Just with wicca to become wiccan you have to study for 1 year and 1 day
With paganism you can learn and be pagan
In wicca you have to follow the rede
yeah, it's not so much that the definition is vague, it's mostly people either not agreeing their belief is pagan, or aren't open to admitting their belief is pagan. it's a small percentage that actually openly considers themselves pagan on surveys
But they both follow harm none and live and let live
Even some pagans believe the law of 3 and some don't
I always tell me do what feels right to you its your path and you can go in whatever direction you like
