| 1. What do you expect to do in/add to the study group? | |
| I expect to gain new knowledge and insight to others in the | |
| groups beliefs and how they go about their craft. An insight of | |
| my own personal beliefs and show that it isn't a dark or | |
| negative belief. | |
| 2. What do you expect of the group? | |
| A place to connect with individuals with similar interests and | |
| to grow spiritually. | |
| 3. What do you expect of others in the group? | |
| To be open minded and accepting of all others even if thoughts | |
| and ideas clash. | |
| 4. What kind of activities and assignments do you expect? | |
| Maybe some group work or workshops of different crafts. | |
| 5. Do you expect the group to have a leader or to be completely | |
| democratic? | |
| I feel like there should be an admin just to keep everyone in | |
| check, but overall a democratic group. | |
| 6. What are your strengths when it comes to working with a | |
| group? | |
| My willing-ness to be open to everyone's ideas. | |
| 7. What are your weaknesses when it comes to working with a | |
| group? | |
| I've always been a solo when it comes to most things in life, | |
| and this is no different. So being open to working with others | |
| is going to be a weakness to overcome. | |
| 8. What are your strengths when it comes to witchcraft? | |
| When I want a spell to work and be successful, it usually is. | |
| Clairvoyance is something I've had in the past. I'm not strong | |
| with it, but it has been helpful to me through life and I | |
| consider it a strength | |
| 9. What are your weaknesses when it comes to witchcraft? | |
| I don't practice or "dabble" enough and so I'm not as good with | |
| it as I wish to be. | |
| 10. How much time would you want to spend and expect others to | |
| spend to the group? | |
| A couple hours a week. We all have lives and things happen that | |
| keep us busy from other aspects so I understand having off | |
| weeks. | |
| 11. We have a personal diary subforum for every member. How and | |
| for what purpose would you use it? | |
| To store spells and other witchy tidbits. I have a lot of saved | |
| posts on my Tumblr and I'm sure this would clean up what I want | |
| to keep and learn/use in the future. | |
| 12. What do you expect to learn from others' personal diaries? | |
| Spells, rituals, outcomes/shortcomings, all aspects that involve | |
| witchcraft. | |
| 13. How do you expect to be able to contact other members? | |
| At first, through this forum. Than as friendships grow through | |
| e-mail, other social media outlets, than eventually through | |
| phone or text. | |
| 14. Are you a pagan? | |
| I'm a Spiritual Satanist which makes me polytheistic, so yes I | |
| would identify myself as a pagan. | |

| Opps, I guess I didn't copy all of the questions. Sorry about | |
| that! Here are the rest of my answers: | |
| 15. Do you work with any deities? | |
| Yes, Satan. I also work with Abraxas and Astaroth. | |
| 16. Do you celebrate any festivals? | |
| I try to celebrate most of them. Mainly Yule/x-mas. | |
| 17. Do you do hexes/curses? | |
| When I feel that they are needed. | |
| 18. How do you feel about hexes/curses? | |
| I don't see it as a necessary thing to just hex and curse any | |
| and everyone because I can. I save it for when I need to handle | |
| a situation without getting my hands dirty, so to speak. I | |
| usually just do bindings though before I resort to hexes/curses. | |
| 19. What is your name? Please tell us all you'd like to share. | |
| real name, online names for witchcraft communities and if you | |
| use a special name in your pagan/witchcraft path. | |
| My name is Mary. I don't have any other names I go by. | |
| 20. What is your sex/gender and what pronouns would you like us | |
| to use? | |
| I'm female, I'm not particular on pronouns, probably should just | |
| stick with she/her but it's whatever. | |
| 21. What is your age? | |
| 23 | |
| 22. Can we contact you through e-mail and skype? | |
| Sure, but please ask for those as I do not like to give them out | |
| to just anyone/ | |
| 23. How long have you been practicing witchcraft? | |
| I've been a Satanist for about 10 years and practicing | |
| witchcraft on and off for at least 12. | |
| 24. Could you tell us some things about your path as a witch? | |
| For example you started as a Catholic, then became an initiated | |
| Gardnerian and later let go of any religious ideas to just | |
| practice witchcraft. | |
| I was brought up Catholic, was sent to a Catholic school and | |
| taught the faith. When I hit age 12/13 I started to question my | |
| belief and lose faith in God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit. I convinced | |
| my mum to buy me a couple of Wiccan books and started getting | |
| into witchcraft. I still wasn't spiritually satisfied, and my | |
| father had been in the same boat. He found the Joy of Satan | |
| website and shared it with me. I dedicated when I was about | |
| 14/15 and within the last couple of years broken away from JoS | |
| because the hatred and intolerance of other pagan sects did not | |
| sit well with me. I'm still a Satanist because Satan has always | |
| been a kind deity to me and very helpful on my spiritual | |
| journey, but in the past year I have decided to grow in | |
| witchcraft as I feel it will allow me to continue to flourish in | |
| my growth without making me feel like I'm going against | |
| anything. | |
| 25. Where are you from? Please be as specific as possible. | |
| Country/state/province/city | |
| The U.S. I'm in the process of moving states at the moment. So, | |
| right now I live in Norman, Oklahoma, but am moving to Cape | |
| Coral, Fl. | |
| 26. How did you find us? | |
| My friend and mutual Tumblr follower reblogged a post about this | |
| and so I shared it as well. | |
| 27. Is there anything else important for us to know? | |
| I'm not evil. Satanism is not an evil belief. I've never | |
| sacrificed anything and I never will. And will be more than | |
| happy to try and discuss my beliefs with anyone if they are | |
| interested. But, I do tend to keep my beliefs mostly quiet in | |
| the real world for personal safety. | |
| 28. Could you provide us with a picture or a link to a facebook | |
| account? | |
| I will eventually provide a Facebook account, but not at the | |
| moment. But here is what I look like: | |

| Hi Mary! | |
| I'm Riley. I'd be very interested to hear more about the JoS, as | |
| I am really blind in that area. | |

| Well, I no longer affiliate myself with that group. For people | |
| who aren't knowledgeable about Spiritual Satanism and interested | |
| in it, they are usually a good starting point because they give | |
| so much material to read and learn from. They have many | |
| meditations, spells, and rituals. However, they are also | |
| somewhat radical in their beliefs. And I do not wish to speak | |
| badly of them, but I have known some that are very hateful | |
| towards other religious groups. While I personally don't agree | |
| with the 3 big religions, they come off as very hateful towards | |
| them. Sometimes to the point that those who affiliate with the | |
| group refuse to have contact with many people that are not also | |
| satanists/share their same view, or have very little to do with | |
| others. I broke away from them because of that and have since | |
| developed my own personal relationship with Satan. | |
