I haven’t talked about my academic ambitions on this blog before, because my hopes and dreams seemed so fragile that I hardly dared to speak of them. But now they are becoming real. I just submitted my application.
I genuinely would appreciate your thoughts, prayers and spells so much right now. I want this so badly. This is an opportunity for me to really focus on my religious studies in an academic setting and gain practical tools for ministry and church administration. As far as I know I might be the first Satanist to attend any seminary openly, period, and if I am accepted I certainly will be the first at this particular institution.
My chances look pretty good right now– fingers crossed. When I visited campus I found the community to be incredibly open and welcoming to me, and everybody, even the Christians, were excited about me and interested in me rather than suspicious. It’s a wonderful school. The library is my idea of heaven (or hell, haha). I’ve never wanted anything this badly in my life.
This is the first step towards my dream of founding a theistic Satanic church in my area, and also of helping to raise the intellectual/academic standard of Satanism. In my own small way, I hope to help blaze a trail.
I am filled with love and gratitude towards the infernal Gods and towards my Satanic community right now. It is this love and gratitude that motivates me to pursue a Master of Divinity.
I really hope I’ll be able to tell you all, soon, that I have been accepted and will be starting school in Spring.
Hold me, Satan. I am so excited.
❤ I am SO proud of you, baby. You are going to be a brilliant minister.
I’m an absolute sucker for the full makeover trope in movies and books where the character goes from “I haven’t brushed my hair in three days to, my hair has highlights and perfect curls”
So I need ideas on how to make this nontoxic and fun rather than “the only way people are going to like you is if you conform to societal beauty standards”
Hit me with them people, I need a winner over here!!
I mean… as a trans person “Oh I haven’t been taking care of my appearance at all because I am DYSPHORIC AF” is a thing?
In this episode, Asher and Vix discuss Jesus’s many shortcomings, dismiss the scholarship of Walter Wink, and try and get a handle on just what the heck is going on in the gospels.

White collar worker and executives: “Hurray, it’s labor day weekend! 3 full days off! We are so fortunate to live in a Great Country that Cares about it’s Workers!”
Service industry workers who know labor day weekend is one of the busiest 3 days of the year which means double or triple shifts and not seeing family all while being forced to be not only polite but cheerful:
While also knowing that Labor Day was intended as a holiday for them and they still have to put up with this shit
Labor Day in the US exists to supplant the actual international Worker’s Day of May 1st (May Day, which originally started in the US) in which all laborers were entitled to a day off.
Capitalist bosses called “Communism” and tried to ban before giving a “patriotic American” version. Now May 1st in America is called “Loyalty Day” to “for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom.” (Dwight Eisenhower oversaw that proclamation, in the midst of a red scare, in 1921.)
