What A Devil Worshipper Is And What a Devil Worshipper is Not

We pagans are not devil worshippers, and here is why, there are such terms as the Left-Hand Path and the Right-Hand Path. Modern occultists can be either/or. Pagans are not like Satanists and Satanists are not like pagans. Some pagans can be Satanists but not every pagan is a devil-worshipper, seeing as Devil-worshipping is a crude term to use that describes a neo-pagan. Neo-pagans worship the ancient gods, whether they were aliens or not. Nor Satanists, nor pagans believe in hell, as a fact of what pagans actually believe.

Calling a pagan a devil-worshipper is wrong, and a misnomer. Keep your mouth shut if you fully do not understand what a devil-worshipper actually is. Left-Hand Pathers believe in self-worship as well as worshipping the gods as equals. Right-hand Path people believe they serve the ancient Gods but we are not their slaves. We are almost equals to the Gods in modern times. The ancient Gods come to pagans because we believe in serving the planet, changing the world, and helping our fellow humans find peace. Pagans believe everybody is psychic, some have it switched on at birth, while others have it shut off.

We use our abilities to further the development of human civilization. Our magick can serve us, or the world. Some of us believe in using our power to bring about social justice. Pagans share similar belief structures such as the fact that our Gods tell us things like it is and they talk to us. We do not worship the devil when we say we worship the Goddess. Pagans are normally not devil-worshippers and please don’t go around calling pagans that. This is rude. Not every pagan is a devil-worshipper. Pagans are earth-based spiritual people.

We do not worship the devil. We Right-Hand Path people are about spirituality and not necessarily worshipping the devil. We do workings to heal ourselves, heal the world, and heal people around us. Our magick is used to make money, find love, or make the world a better place. We pagans work on developing our psychic abilities and learning new things. Many pagans are scientists, which doesn’t conflict with paganism in their minds, anyway. We work on healing our wounds, since many of my pagan friends have been through extreme trauma. We are in recovery from addictions like alcoholism, which we have given up. Or worse, we are in recovery from drugs.

Pagans cannot worship the devil, that is what the Gods are precisely NOT. The Gods are outside of time and space. They are non-corporeal beings. We believe we hear them inside our heads, talking to us, giving us advice, and in general we are able to access their divine protection. The Gods are our friends, almost our equals but not entirely. We worship them, we work together with them. We do not turn away from them, often, although it is possible. I work with Sekhmet, an ancient Egyptian deity.

Devil worshippers on the other hand, believe that the Biblical devil was actually a great dragon despite how he supposedly masqueraded as an “angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14) Some Satanists believe the Devil exists in the night time sky which ancient peoples were afraid of. They feel that humans have animalistic urges since we are part animal and many people spend their lives repressing their dark urges. Satanists believe in celebrating what makes us human. While some aspects of neo-paganism reflect this belief, we do not worship the devil. We never have worshipped the devil, so please don’t call pagans devil-worshippers, this is unnecessary labeling which proves your ignorance.
