Theistic Satanism is a belief system that views Satan as a deity or divine figure worthy of worship. Practitioners often see Satan as a symbol of individualism, freedom, and personal empowerment, contrasting with traditional religious views that depict him as purely evil. This form of Satanism can incorporate elements from various spiritual traditions, emphasizing a personal relationship with Satan. Unlike LaVeyan Satanism, which is atheistic and focuses on self-deification, theistic Satanists may engage in rituals and prayers directed toward Satan. They often believe in the existence of spiritual entities and may seek guidance or inspiration from Satan in their lives.
