Same, also a member of TST and a practicing romantic Satanist. It's brought a lot of strength, clarity, and confidence to my life.
That sounds interesting, I know I can try googling but I would love to hear from the source. What is a romantic Satanist?
lights candles, opens box of wine
Well, you see...
box of wineA connoisseur I see 🧐
It just comes in a box, they're not going to drink it from the box! I'm sure they'll pour it into a mug first.
You don't know me
No, we get a box each and drink it like a Capri-Sun.
Hey now. Some boxed wines have AMAZING taste. Especially in their super-cool naming.
Oh, yeah, I love wines. Red, white, fizzy white, rosey... all the wines.
That sounds like the start of ritual to me!
Check out the book "Compassionate Satanism" by Lilith Starr. You can buy it on TST's website, I am not sure about availability on other platforms.
Romantic Satanism holds up the depiction of Satan from Romantic period literature as an ideal. The book has a nice analysis of Satan's use at that point as a rebel against authoritarianism who fought for Enlightenment. Romantic Satanists are non theistic and do not believe in the supernatural. TST is an organization of Romantic Satanists but you don't have to be a TST member to be one; the seven tenets of TST are a major guiding force as well.
Totally suggest reading the book - it's fascinating and well written.
Thank you, I will check it out!
Edit: it's available on Bookshop.org and on Amazon, too.
