It generally does not worship a literal Satan; instead, Satan is treated as a symbol of individual liberty, carnality, self-interest, rational skepticism, and opposition to imposed religious guilt. Ritual is often understood as psychological drama rather than supernatural worship.<br /> <br /> == Key beliefs ==<br /> <br /> * Satan as a symbolic figure rather than a deity in standard LaVeyan teaching<br /> * Individualism, self-responsibility, and personal sovereignty<br /> * Skepticism toward supernatural claims and conventional religious morality<br /> * Ritual as psychodrama and emotional focus<br /> * Affirmation of earthly life, desire, and personal excellence<br /> <br /> == Practices ==<br /> <br /> * Reading and discussion of LaVeyan texts<br /> * Rituals of compassion, destruction, and lust as symbolic or psychological acts<br /> * Personal self-development and aesthetic identity<br /> * Participation in Church of Satan or independent Satanist communities<br /> * Use of symbols such as the Sigil of Baphomet<br /> <br /> == Places of worship ==<br /> <br /> * No universal place of worship; practice may occur in homes, private ritual spaces, online communities, or organizational events<br /> <br /> == Sacred texts ==<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;The Satanic Bible&#039;&#039; and other writings by Anton LaVey are central to LaVeyan Satanism<br /> <br /> == Holidays and observances ==<br /> <br /> * Common observances include one’s birthday, Halloween, Walpurgisnacht, and solstices or equinoxes in some communities<br /> <br /> == Branches and related traditions ==<br /> <br /> * [[New Religious Movements]]<br /> * [[Thelema]]<br /> * [[Discordianism]]<br /> * [[Unaffiliated and Secular Worldviews]]<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Religion]]<br /> * [[Theology]]<br /> * [[Philosophy of religion]]<br /> * [[New Religious Movements]]<br /> * [[Indigenous and Traditional Religions]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Religions]]<br /> [[Category:New religious movements]]<br /> [[Category:Secular and unaffiliated worldviews]]<br /> </div>
