Satanists Aren’t Always Perfect by Satanist Alyssa Ross an article for The Black Flame—June, LI A.S. I’d like to reflect on a quote from Peter H. Gilmore found in his Satanic Scriptures. Essentially, it reads: “As Satanists, we strive for perfection, but sometimes fall into negative patterns.” This hits particularly close to home for me and has renewed my strength and confidence in myself.
