When I first began seeking out Satanism, I was fleeing a Christian religion that had caused me great shame and pain. I'd been taught that once you accept Christ, all your sins are forgiven 1yet I kept sinning. Paul's answer was that it was no longer "me" doing the sinning, but the flesh, the "old man." I was a new creature. If I struggled, the fix was simple: confess, "put on" Christ, put on a smile, and carry on.

So that's what I did. I believed I was a new creature in Christ, and I wore that happy face and demeanor, especially at church but inside, I was a graveyard. I was full of lusts I had no control over, yet Christianity taught me those old sin patterns weren't really me anymore. I was new. That struggling part was just the "old man."

My journey of self-discovery became, instead, a search to understand this "old man" who I came to realize was really my shadow, my darkness. I needed to accept that part of myself and integrate it. I needed to stop presenting a version of me to the world that was acceptable and likable, but wasn't real.
