Satanic Holidays are based upon the natural cycles. What is known as "Satanism" is [https://satanisgod.org/www.angelfire.com/empire/serpentis666/Origins_of_Satanism.html humanity's original religion]. The holidays listed below precede Christianity from hundreds to thousands of years. Because the Christian Church could not murder everyone, the original Pagan holidays were taken and Christianized in attempts to convert as many as possible. | |||
The truth behind all of these special dates is that the planets and astral world are aligned a certain way that greatly enhances certain workings, giving them extra power that would not be possible if they were started during other times. Covens of old met regularly during the full moon cycles and during the special dates listed below, as the planetary and astral energies were very powerful at these times of the year. In order to systematically and forcibly remove spiritual knowledge and power from our people, the Christian Church stole these holidays and replaced them with fictitious nonsense. There is a true and a false with nearly everything and one can see the glaring lie of Christianity in that everything in that foul program is and has been stolen from the original religions and replaced with imposter characters, places, and rites where nothing spiritual is left. Another example is how fundamentalist Christians have been working to destroy the last Pagan/Satanic practices of the Yule Season and Winter Solstice, such as removing Santa Claus, the Yule tree, and other evidence that reveals the true origins of the Yule and replace them solely with the Nazarene and ilk. For more information and research, type in Jehovah�s Witnesses into any internet search engine such as google.com and add 'Pagan holidays.' The information about this is extensive and proves beyond any doubt that these holidays have NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH CHRISTIANITY. | |||
The fictitious Nazarene has nothing to do with Xmas. Xmas coincides with the Winter Solstice and the Yule season, the shortest day of the year. December 25th is the birth date of the Persian God Mithra, and the Roman Holiday of Saturnalias. The tree, the decorations, baking, gifts and celebrating have NOTHING to do with the Nazarene. These are carry-overs from original Pagan celebrations. The Yule tree is really symbolic of the human soul, with the trunk being representative of the spine, the branches, the 144,000 nadis [pathways of the vril/witchpower/chi], and the lights being symbolic of the nadis all lit up with Satan's Serpentine Energy. The star on top of the tree is representative of the risen Serpent of Satan. | |||
"Easter" was stolen from [https://satanisgod.org/www.angelfire.com/empire/serpentis666/Astaroth.html Astaroth]. Originally known as "Ashtar." This holiday coincides with the Vernal Equinox of spring when day and night are of equal length. Known as "Eastre" to the Anglo-Saxons. As the Goddess of fertility, she was associated with rabbits and eggs. The Christians stole this holiday and twisted its meaning. Other names include: Easter, Eastre, Eos, Eostre, Ester, Estrus, (Estrus is when an animal goes into heat; mating season) Oestrus, Oistros, and Ostara. Again, the "Lamb of God" was stolen from the Zodiac sign of Aries the Ram which occurs every spring. | |||
"All Saint's Day" corresponds with "Halloween/Samhain." | |||
"Assumption Day" coincides with "Lammas Day" of the "Summer Solstice."

Happy Yule to every dedicated member here (and those who will dedicate)! It is important to celebrate, as celebration is part of life. Get yourself some treats, spend time with loved ones, have fun. | |||
Traditionally, Yule being the longest night of the year, was a time of gathering wisdom to prepare for the enlightenment of the soul that the coming Sun will bring. This is a great time to summon your Guardian Demon to ask for guidance, or to ask for any inspiration for your spiritual advancement. | |||
Touching on the subject of how xianity stole pretty much everything from paganism, this also goes for "xmas caroling". Caroling (going door to door singing carols) comes from the British Wassailing (other cultures had a similar custom). People would sing to the orchard trees in autumn (orchard-visiting wassail) to inspire the trees to produce more fruit for the harvest. Songs have vibration, vibration is energy, you can do magickal workings on nature to help it grow more bountifully. Research has shown that plants respond well to humans talking and singing to them. The wassailing was also meant to cleanse away malefic energies that could harm the trees. | |||
They would again go wassailing at Yule (house-visiting wassail) to spread bountiful harvests to help those who were not so fortunate. The Pagans knew that fortunate times come and go, and by helping others who were going through a less fortunate time, they themselves could count on help if they needed it in the future. (It was not about allowing the lazy to parasitize off the hard work of others, that is a xian concept.) | |||
The wassail was also a blessing prayer for those who lived in the home. It comes from the Old Norse "ves heill", meaning "be in good health" or "be fortunate". In the traditional song "Here We Come a-Wassailing", one of the lyrics is: | |||
''We are not daily beggars that beg from door to door, But we are friendly neighbors whom you have seen before.''The residents of the home would give the wassailers food and drink in exchange for their blessings. | |||

Wishing all of you a fun and enjoyable Samhain! | |||
For those of you who are new and have not yet dedicated, this is a great time to do so! It's also my dedication anniversary. 13 years ago I found the JoS, felt like I was home, spent all day and night reading as much as I could, and dedicated around 2:30am. Best decision I ever made. | |||
If you have family traditions, such as favorite movies to watch, then have fun doing so. Life is to be celebrated, and most of us work hard and deserve it. We just finished a big schedule of FRTRs and God Rituals, so don't feel guilty watching a movie or eating treats. | |||
This is also a time of increased psychic activity. Communication with our Gods is heightened, and it is easier to receive guidance from our Guardian Demons. | |||

Beltane is the Satanic New Year, starting on sundown April 30 and lasting to sundown the following day. (For those of you in the southern hemisphere, the end of this month is Halloween/Samhain for you.) | |||
This Pagan holiday is honor of our God Baalzebul. I have had the pleasure of meeting this Great God, and my admiration and respect only increases after each meeting. He is very kind and friendly, but has such strength and a pure love of life. He wants us to live our lives to the fullest, to take opportunities, and to do what we can to reach our potential. He wants us to build true inner strength and learn to take charge of our own lives. | |||
As it happens, our current Ritual Schedule concludes on the Eve of Beltane. If you can only do one ritual that day, do Baalzebul’s, in honor of Him. Tune in to Him and His strength. | |||
''If any male SS here'' feel disconnected from their masculinity (many males do these past few decades), Baalzebul’s ritual will help you, and inspire you to become more masculine. | |||
''If any female SS here'' don’t understand what true masculinity is and think of negative connotations, this ritual will help you see how special and important real masculinity is. | |||
I was fortunate enough to have had a strong yet caring father, a true man who made sacrifices in his own life to provide for me. He always took an interest in my hobbies, and exposed me to new hobbies and fun experiences in life. My father went on adventures, and learned much about life. Most people were not as fortunate as I was. | |||
The reason I am mentioning this is because Baalzebul, Zeus, is called the “Great Father” and “Father of Gods and Men”. Those of you who have not had beneficial experiences from your own fathers will benefit from getting to know Baalzebul. Having a strong father figure is imperative for psychological well-being, and building a strong sense of boundaries and self-discipline. So if your own father failed or was absent, you can turn to the Gods, such as Zeus. And for men who want to be a better father to your children, Baalzebul’s influence can guide you. | |||
Interestingly, it is an old custom that a young man should climb a mountain to prove his manhood and strength (both physical and mental strength are required to climb a mountain). One of Baalzebul’s Divine Symbols are mountains and mountaintops. | |||
“''Zeus in the Orphic mysteries has been constantly revered for his ability with “Thunder”. This thunder is supposed to bring the soul back to life from its passive state of lethargy.”'' | |||
'''Beltane Bonfires & Wells''' | |||
Beltane is an ancient fertility celebration. Fertility of livestock and crops, but also for couples wanting children. | |||
Beltane is also a time of protection. Bonfires were made, and people would walk between them, and lead their livestock between them, for blessings of protection. (Spiritually, we can do protection spells on this date.) | |||
Before attending the celebration, everyone would douse the fires in their homes. At the end of the Beltane celebration, people would take a stick lit up from the bonfires, bring it to their property, carry it around their home or the boundary of their land, then bring it inside and light their hearth fires with it, thus bringing the protective power into their home. This protection was to ward off sickness, black magick curses, and malefic entities. | |||
Food would be cooked over these powerful bonfires, so the food would be infused with much prana to be consumed by the people to increase their health and virility. | |||
Any wells would be visited during the Beltane celebrations, and blessings would be made to the water to increase the health of those who drank from it. On the morning of May Day, water would be drawn and consumed, and used to bless property and animals. | |||
Yellow flowers would be gathered during the day, before Beltane’s Eve, and brought into the home to bring blessings of joy and happiness. | |||
Beltane is a power date for astral communication. Set aside some time, go into meditation, and ask for guidance from your Guardian Demon. Perhaps you will set some goals for the year, in accordance to your Guardian (they know us and our future better than we do). |

Beltane is the Satanic New Year, starting on sundown April 30 and lasting to sundown the following day. (For those of you in the southern hemisphere, the end of this month is Halloween/Samhain for you.) This Pagan holiday is honor of our God Baalzebul. I have had the pleasure of meeting this Great God, and my admiration and respect only increases after each meeting. He is very kind and friendly, but has such strength and a pure love of life. He wants us to live our lives to the fullest, to take opportunities, and to do what we can to reach our potential. He wants us to build true inner strength and learn to take charge of our own lives.
As it happens, our current Ritual Schedule concludes on the Eve of Beltane. If you can only do one ritual that day, do Baalzebul’s, in honor of Him. Tune in to Him and His strength.
If any male SS here feel disconnected from their masculinity (many males do these past few decades), Baalzebul’s ritual will help you, and inspire you to become more masculine.
If any female SS here don’t understand what true masculinity is and think of negative connotations, this ritual will help you see how special and important real masculinity is.
I was fortunate enough to have had a strong yet caring father, a true man who made sacrifices in his own life to provide for me. He always took an interest in my hobbies, and exposed me to new hobbies and fun experiences in life. My father went on adventures, and learned much about life. Most people were not as fortunate as I was.
The reason I am mentioning this is because Baalzebul, Zeus, is called the “Great Father” and “Father of Gods and Men”. Those of you who have not had beneficial experiences from your own fathers will benefit from getting to know Baalzebul. Having a strong father figure is imperative for psychological well-being, and building a strong sense of boundaries and self-discipline. So if your own father failed or was absent, you can turn to the Gods, such as Zeus. And for men who want to be a better father to your children, Baalzebul’s influence can guide you.
Interestingly, it is an old custom that a young man should climb a mountain to prove his manhood and strength (both physical and mental strength are required to climb a mountain). One of Baalzebul’s Divine Symbols are mountains and mountaintops.
“Zeus in the Orphic mysteries has been constantly revered for his ability with “Thunder”. This thunder is supposed to bring the soul back to life from its passive state of lethargy.”
Beltane Bonfires & Wells
Beltane is an ancient fertility celebration. Fertility of livestock and crops, but also for couples wanting children.
Beltane is also a time of protection. Bonfires were made, and people would walk between them, and lead their livestock between them, for blessings of protection. (Spiritually, we can do protection spells on this date.)
Before attending the celebration, everyone would douse the fires in their homes. At the end of the Beltane celebration, people would take a stick lit up from the bonfires, bring it to their property, carry it around their home or the boundary of their land, then bring it inside and light their hearth fires with it, thus bringing the protective power into their home. This protection was to ward off sickness, black magick curses, and malefic entities.
Food would be cooked over these powerful bonfires, so the food would be infused with much prana to be consumed by the people to increase their health and virility.
Any wells would be visited during the Beltane celebrations, and blessings would be made to the water to increase the health of those who drank from it. On the morning of May Day, water would be drawn and consumed, and used to bless property and animals.
Yellow flowers would be gathered during the day, before Beltane’s Eve, and brought into the home to bring blessings of joy and happiness.
Beltane is a power date for astral communication. Set aside some time, go into meditation, and ask for guidance from your Guardian Demon. Perhaps you will set some goals for the year, in accordance to your Guardian (they know us and our future better than we do).
