Nanaea, I spoke with my instructor and a few other people (including a few practicing satanists) and the consensus was that neopaganism and satanism are two separate but equal religious followings. Pagan comes from "paganus" meaning "of the country" (almost like when we say "hick" or "bumpkin"). Interestingly enough, I have to read a translation of a papal bull written by Innocent VIII about what to do when dealing with "devil worshippers" (pagans, jews, and others who didn't accept church doctrine, not just true satanists.) Thank the spirits of whatever that we don't live back then. (Ugh.) :( Gotta go. My "request offering" is waiting for a second round of burning. I hope the first round worked. ;)
