occasionally, we get people in our social media inboxes asking, "how do I become a #Satanist?"

and, look, there's no one "right" way to do #Satanism. some people are big on ritual or even magic; others include nothing of the sort. some have an aesthetic that's all goat-y & skulls; others don't even wear black

BUT

if the story you're referencing is about rejecting the eternal hierarchies of an omnipotent tyrant, and your takeaway is "smash every enemy weak enough to be smashed, lick every boot more powerful than you"—it could be there are better figures to use for religious inspiration, ya know?

(also, if you really wanna become a Satanist, reading #Malatesta would not be the worst place to start)
