Satanists view Satan as a pre-Christian life principle which represents the carnal, earthly, and mundane aspects of life. Human life is held in sacred regard. The highest of all Satanic holidays is the birthday of the individual Satanist. However, they appear to have been pulled out of thin air by the authors. They have no connection with reality.
Ceremonies are pageants, which are used to celebrate a person or element of faith.
Destruction rituals are best performed by a group. If a person targeted by a destruction ritual is not deserving of it, the ritual will not harm them. Male Satanists wear full length black robes, with or without a hood. Many Satanists from different traditions wear amulets carrying the symbol of the Sigl of Baphomet. It is surrounded by a circle.
