Satanic rituals are ceremonies associated with the worship or veneration of Satan or other figures in Satanism. These rituals can vary widely in practice and belief, often incorporating elements such as symbolic gestures, chants, and the use of specific objects like candles or altars. Some rituals aim to invoke spiritual experiences, while others may focus on personal empowerment or rebellion against traditional religious norms. There are different branches of Satanism, including LaVeyan Satanism, which emphasizes individualism and self-indulgence, and Theistic Satanism, which views Satan as a deity. Rituals in these traditions may serve various purposes, such as celebrating personal milestones, expressing philosophical beliefs, or fostering community among practitioners.
