Tips for Teens
Tips for Teens; Maintaining Your Privacy By Salem Burke
Tips to Conceal:
1. Don't keep all of your prized books, tools, and candles in one place. (In the event that these are found, they will not all be thrown away at once as happened to me years ago. Not to mention the "Bar-BQ" my parents had with the books another time.)
2. Try to "slowly" temper candles as decorations in various areas so they will not be considered of any nature other than novelty. (But keep them as your own so nobody else can light them.)
3. Develop a "thing for incense." Begin to light incense on occasion -- as you read or do your "thing" -- in your room. My "friends" range from my age or older "thirties crowd" to high school -- I just helped "Shorty"'s girlfriend with her homework. This is simply because I am extremely odd -- but that is not the point. The point is -- all of the youngsters seem to be using incense. At first it had been only the "stoners" but it caught on to everyone eventually. If it becomes a routine (use cheap sticks or something for this) then it is one less conspicuous.
4. Begin "writing a short play/script" which will be a new interest for you, so you would say (writing plays as a hobby and/or acting and directing). This will not only cover your reasons for having bizarre "props" and "fx" (special effects) paraphernalia -- but also be a secret "Book of Shadows" to which you may journal your magical training but "cover" as a script until you are more independent.
DEFINITELY come up with a story. Maybe the "play" (if you opt for this one) is not in your possession and you and your friend are simply rehearsing. In the worst case scenario -- you are trying to re-construct the story which your hard drive erased. If you have a cam-corder -- the scene is always "all screwed up." You may actually begin to like the idea, and film several little "home movies" which would likely result in support. Then it would be hard for them to know certainly what is real, and what is imaginary. Just "stay in between" once (if) your "image" is established. This is ONE of many ideas.
More Tips for Teens
I have received plenty private e-mails from young people who live at home with parents or others who would literally have a stroke if they found out these kids are Satanists. This article is also for others who need to keep their beliefs secret.
Father Satan states in the Black Book we are to keep his secrets. For those under 18, many of you are forced to go to church and/or participate in Christian ceremonies. Father Satan understands and knows you are not free because you are under 18. When one is 18 or over age 18, in the USA, one is a legal adult and this is a different matter.
For those who are under 18, when forced to go to church, just concentrate on Father Satan. Don't take part in any of the prayers. If you are forced to take the communion host, you can hold it in your mouth, ask to use the restroom and spit it in the toilet.
Read sermons and positive writings about Satan every day as this will help you in many ways in the face of oppression.
As for those over 18 in the USA, you have the legal right to do your own thing. You can politely refuse anything they try to push on you. Once you are 18, you are acting on your own choice and this is a different matter. Satanists are strong and unless the consequences are serious or life threatening, one should openly refuse. In situations during the holidays, to keep the peace one can just remain silent if others insist on praying. You can also pray silently to Satan.
Once you become really strong in Satan, Christian symbols, prayers and related become unbearable and literally sickening. This is because of a heightened awareness where we can sense all of the negative and destructive energy in them. Christians also feel a sense of extreme unease and even have a horror when being near Satanic symbols, as Satanic and Christian energies are enemies of each other.
Remember, Christianity is a false religion with a false god. In truth, Christianity is really a program and not a religion, as there is nothing spiritual about it. Once you really know the truth, Christianity will have no power over you.

There are No Mediators In Satanism
I am writing this sermon in reply to a letter posted to the Teens for Satan e-group concerning someone who was using Satanism and a feigned relationship with Satan to manipulate other people. The victims were young and unknowing.
THE SATANIC MINISTRY IS HERE FOR GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT ONLY- NO ONE COMES BETWEEN ANYONE AND HIS/HER PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH SATAN IN ANY WAY. THERE ARE NO MEDIATORS IN SATANISM!
All it takes is one person who has a little intelligence and manipulative ability than the average person. Manipulative ability can be obtained while doing prison time. The ex-con then gets out and looks for those who are young or vulnerable to prey on. He/she more than likely uses drugs, although less than his/her followers who he/she remains in control of and with what these individuals advocate, if they haven't already been to prison, they will more than likely wind up there. Drugs are part of the control. Charles Manson learned this in prison and applied it to his followers. He did lesser amounts of the drugs while his followers got stoned out of their minds. This was one way he manipulated them. Most are now spending the rest of their lives in prison.
Another letter was posted in the Teen group today. A girl is a virgin. She is comfortable with this. Her friend was wondering whether she would have to "lose her virginity in order to become a Satanist."
The point is- remember true Satanism is about being yourself and being free. No one is expected to do anything that they are uncomfortable with or anything that is not a part of their nature.
I allow everyone to follow the dictates of his own nature
— Satan [from the Al Jilwah]
There are books written about magickal practice, I believe some by Aleister Crowley. These teachings instruct the readers that they must do certain things to break down barriers. This is utter bullshit and I equate it to walking out in front of a large truck in order to see what it feels like to get run over [if one survives]. I am adept. I have never had to resort to any of this misinformation and garbage. Neither should anyone else.
There are many different ways of empowering one's self and overcoming limitations, both physical and psychic, without having to resort to harmful actions. For example, advanced martial arts training gives one an enormous amount of power. This, when properly directed and applied can accomplish all kinds of feats. Most martial artists do not have the knowledge of how to apply this power outside of physical combat. We Satanists do.
People who use kids or claim to have an "in" with the Devil in order to manipulate others and feed off their energies are in reality very weak. The ONLY initiation one needs is between one's self and Satan. No "High Priest/ess" or anyone else should have any control or power over another person. Satanic clergy offer guidance and support- that is it. Members of the Satanic priesthood are gifted people who can act as mediums in imparting knowledge, but if you are ever in doubt, go to Satan yourself. If something doesn't feel right for you, then don't accept it.
Remember, as a Satanist, the only one with authority is Satan himself. We do not answer to any human beings.
All Around Tips for Teens, From Parents to Meditations by Juan Liria
Hi everyone. I've noticed that there are a lot of members asking for advice about how to deal with parents and where they can do rituals and what meditations to do, so I thought I might help.
For those of us not lucky enough to have parents that understand, or who have nosy parents, the best thing to do is to not have an altar or tools, physically anyway. If you want to do the dedication ritual, buy a black candle and write out the prayer, cut yourself with any needle (as long as it's clean) and after you're done, let the candle burn out. Evidence gone. If you don't have a black candle, use blue, or red or something. I don't think Father will mind. If you can't have an altar, set some time apart for meditation and construct an astral temple. This is a lot better because you can make it as big as you want and the way you want, and you'll always have a special place to talk to Father right in your head, no one can take it away. If you can't buy tools, use what you can find, or perform all your rituals in a deep meditative state in your astral temple, here you can make your own simple or elaborate tools in your mind. This solves the parent problem and helps you get better at visualization.
What about meditations? What meditation should you do? The answer is, every meditation you can get your hands on. All of the one's on the Joy of Satan site are great, you can even make up your own. Start with the void meditation to train your mind and spin your chakras as often as possible, go into strengthening your aura and do the awakening exercises, then you can do the Star of Astaroth/Mer Ka Ba Meditation and the other more advanced meditations. Most meditations you can do lying down if you need to, so if anyone catches you, it looks like you're taking a nap.
For people who aren't too good at visualization, try doing the power meditations without visualizing at first. Since you should already be good at the void meditation, you will have learned how to clear your mind. From here, focus on the literal darkness inside your mind behind your closed eyelids and just feel. Feel the energy going through your body and extending outward into your aura. Once you get this down, you can extend your awareness and manipulate this energy, you can draw energy in and send energy out. For the Star of Astaroth/Mer Ka Ba Meditation meditation, forget about seeing everything, and just feel it, feel your energy shaped into the pyramids and the sphere and the disk, feel the energy expanding as you draw more in from your surroundings. You can draw in energy by breathing (it's kind of hard to explain) in a way that you are physically breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth, but psychically breathing in energy through your skin. Energy is connected to the breath, trust me, I've been testing this technique and it feels intense. By feeling your way through these meditations, you can do them even if your visualization skills aren't all too good, and help develop your psychic touch.
