About the Witch

Hello, you can call me as you wish but I am a Satanist. I am a registered member of the Church of Satan (not an official spokesperson). I am a writer, but I've never been a blog-writer before. I tried something new and I found how much I enjoy it, so here I am: doing my new-found love! I'm an extremely creative person which both balances and enhances my day-job: my background is in business. I have built and owned two successful businesses, been Vice President of another, and division director for a global distributor. I consider myself a witch because I used lesser magic to accomplish my business goals before ever knowing that there was such a fancy term for it.

I'm far from edgy. I present as a sweet, clean cut business lady who is a faithful and devout follower of Christ. I'm pretty good at this because I was raised under the Christian faith and my family is still adamantly Catholic and Christian. I hated the indoctrination. I loathed feeling like I was being groomed to be a certain way that I most certainly was not, and then one day I decided that enough was enough. In many ways I consider this a self-emancipation. In no way am I not a god for achieving what so many couldn't even dream of being able to do! Hail Satan, hail me! ♡

About AveWitch.com

Q. Why write about Satanism, aren't other people doing that?

Actually, this blog isn't about Satanism, it's about my life as a Satanist. There are a lot of inaccuracies out there that deserve to be corrected, but my life is about more than trying to change the willfully misguided. If someone wants to learn about Satanism, they must go to proper sources, but should they want to learn about how one Satanist thinks and lives, this is a great place to do that!

Q. What do I do if reading this blog turns me into a Satanist?

Luckily for you, that's not something you have to worry about. Satanism is a religion that describes a way that you already are. There is no way to "convert" someone to Satanism. Either they are, or they aren't a Satanist. You could hypothetically agree with every word out of my mouth and still not be a Satanist. The only way to know if you're a Satanist is to read the Satanic Bible and assess how it resonates with you.

Q. What made you decide to start blogging?

After trying it casually, I discovered that I liked it! I think in the modern age folks tend to microblog about their lives on social media, but the conversations I found myself in there lacked the substance and depth I really wanted to explore. It wasn't the right platform. This is the right platform to talk about what I want to talk about, and it's worked out much better.

Q. What's your relationship with the Church of Satan?

I am a registered member of the Church of Satan, but I do not represent the Church of Satan nor speak for the Church of Satan or its members. The Church of Satan doesn't endorse any content on this site nor has it had any partnership in its creation. To learn more about the Church of Satan, please go to their website. I am not affiliated with any other group which may self-identify as "Satanic."

Q. How often can we expect blog updates?

Before the novel coronavirus, my goal was to update every week. 2020 Kept me busy working on other important projects related to the pandemic, but it doesn't mean Ave Witch is through, and that's because I'm still here living my Satanic life. I look forward to returning to a steady schedule soon, but in the meantime you may reach out to me here!

Q. How do other Satanists feel about what you write?

Why not ask them? I imagine they have an opinion, same as you, same as if I were writing about any other subject. I don't pretend that my perspective would match any other Satanist's, actually—but that's just fine, because the perspective is mine, and I do not speak for anyone but myself. (Tis the beautiful thing about running a blog, you see? Hah!)

About Satanism

Satanism is an atheistic religion founded in 1966 by Anton LaVey. in 1969 he published "The Satanic Bible," and it serves as the most authentic source for what Satanism is. If you want to learn about Satanism, you should pick up this book. It's a quick read (about 150 pages of philosophy, 120 are reference), and it's affordable (it's only $8 MSRP in the USA.) No, any digital and "free" versions someone may try to sell you are not authorized and may contain malware. Stay away from them.

Should you want to keep exploring the religion while you wait for Amazon to deliver it to your doorstep, I recommend looking at the Church of Satan website. There are many essays and resources there which are hand-picked by a real Satanist authority - that is, not by some edgy and deeply misguided blog from some random kid you went to high school with.
