“Look upon me, your shining morning star. See me, and see what my Father’s love is worth.”

This piece is from Vivid Shadows, an art series I do with my partner Jill. You can get the art book here!

Ave Satanas, friends!

We at the Circle of the Fallen have some announcements to make!

Friends, fiends, sinners, and observers! I am absolutely honored to make the most exciting announcement in the history of the Circle of the Fallen... so far. ;)

Today marks the official launch of our very own website! Hand-coded by our dear Nine, PhD with the help of our awesome tech team (especially Sol Aranea ), we created this site as a means of outreach, to inform the wider world of our community and share our resources.

Speaking of resources, I will not hide my bias in introducing my favorite part of the website. The Library of the Fallen. We've got books for beginners! We've got classics! We've got resources created by community members! We've got advanced grimoires for those who are ready to step beyond the starting line! We even have some rare books that you're unlikely to find anywhere else on the internet. And it is all, to the best of my ability, free for you all to read.

And it's not done! I doubt it will ever be. This collection has been a dream of mine since this community began over a year ago, and we took our unexpected new start as an opportunity to finally get the project going. I wanted to get together something useful to you all as soon as possible, and I believe I've achieved that - but I will continue to add to it as time goes on.

Thank you for your patience, and your company, my friends. Enjoy.

An act of devotion

Translation and transliteration beneath the cut

Lucifer dividers from here.

Someone tries to dictate your beliefs and/or practice based on their personal experiences (aka UPG, or unverified personal gnosis).

They claim the gods will punish you if you don't go along with them.

They appeal to conspiracy theories to justify their beliefs. (See also Is the spiritual person a conspiracy theorist? A list of red flags.)

They make big, dramatic predictions (like claiming aliens will arrive on a certain date, or that the ancient gods will return and overthrow the government soon).

They claim to have a big, important role in the grand cosmic drama (like claiming they're the Archangel Michael and they're going to fight Satan, which will lead to the fall of the government).

They are extremely opposed to skepticism, critical thinking, and/or academia. Not merely critical where it's actually appropriate, but treating it like it's all pure evil.

They encourage you to cut off people who don't believe or criticize what they teach.

They are absolutely certain they can use mystical means (like astrology or tarot) to determine whether someone is a good or bad person.

They are absolutely certain they can just sense whether someone is good or bad.

They are absolutely certain they can use mystical means to find out what another person is thinking or doing.

They claim you were connected to them in a past life.

come join my discord, Circle of the Fallen. we're small-ish (100ish people) but quite active, extremely chill, and very friendly and welcoming to all manner of Satanic-adjacent spiritualities (or just folks who are curious & respectful).

Oh Lucifer, Son of the Morning,

A Star of truth and liberation.

From Heaven to the Pit you fell,

An act of censure and castigation.

Yet you rose up strong and fierce,

Anchored and fair into the night.

A leader to the forlorn you became,

The Light who reveals their true might.

Grant me now your fortitude,

Bestow on me your guidance.

Help me walk with strength,

To live gloriously and be true to yourself

O, Lord Satan,

Cinder-Crowned God of this Earth, Who chose not to kneel in heaven But to stand tall in Hell. Grant me the courage to follow your example, To never be anyone other than myself, And to live gloriously in your name.

May shame never find purchase in me, May conformity never shackle me, and may I be a beacon of Hell's pyres in this world!

Vivet gloriosa in nomine Satanas,
