WE DO NOT SACRIFICE LIVING BEINGS

Across history, one of the most persistent and damaging myths surrounding Satanism has been the idea that Satanists sacrifice animals, adults, or even children. It is an image that has been repeated for generations, and one that still shapes the way many people see Satanism today.

But repetition does not make something true.

This distorted image is not a reflection of serious Satanism. It is the product of centuries of Christian alienation, fear, and manipulation: a narrative created around Satanism rather than an honest representation of what it actually stands for.

Satan’s Seventh Commandment places profound importance on respect and protection, particularly toward children and animals. They represent innocence and purity, untouched by much of the darkness, corruption, and cruelty that humanity is capable of creating. From this perspective, the idea of sacrificing an innocent being is not simply irrational; it is indefensible. The same principle extends to adults: suffering and murder do not suddenly become sacred because they are performed in the name of a ritual.

Such acts stand in direct opposition to Satan’s teachings.

And yet, there are individuals who call themselves Satanists while committing these acts, believing that bloodshed will please superior demons, grant them rewards, fulfil wishes, or give them power. This is precisely why it is essential to learn how to distinguish between someone who merely proclaims themselves a Satanist and someone who actually understands and follows legit Satanism.

Ask yourself the simplest and most honest question: how could the suffering, agony, or death of an innocent being possibly attract positive energies and lead to anything good?

It cannot.

Cruelty does not elevate a ritual. Bloodshed does not make it more powerful. Deliberately inflicting suffering attracts negative energies and obscure entities of many different origins, bringing instability, corruption, and ultimately destruction rather than enlightenment or reward.

It is equally important to separate concepts that are often deliberately blurred together. Killing animals for food is not the same thing as killing an animal as a ritualistic sacrifice. Real Satanism rejects the argument that because animals are slaughtered for human consumption, sacrificing them in a ritual should therefore be considered acceptable.

That comparison has no moral or spiritual foundation. The purpose, intention, symbolism, and meaning behind the two acts are fundamentally different. One cannot be used as an excuse for the other.

I also want to be very clear about the scope of what I am saying. I speak here only from the perspective of Real Satanism. I have no interest in dictating the practices of other religions or belief systems, just as I do not accept outsiders attempting to dictate ours.

People should be free to follow, question, explore, and embrace the spiritual path that genuinely speaks to them. That freedom, however, has to exist alongside mutual respect.

I respect the right of others to hold their beliefs, even when those beliefs are very different from mine. In return, I expect the same respect for ours. Understanding between religious and spiritual communities does not require agreement. It requires recognising that difference is not an invitation to distort, interfere with, or control another person's path.

That principle of mutual respect is where genuine coexistence begins.

Hail Satan!
