curious as to what? specifically

I in general want to learn more about these alternative beliefs and how they practice and incorporate it into day to day lives.

My personal recommendations would be Wicca for Beginners by Thea Sabin!~

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001JEPR5.....TF8&btkr=1

It's pretty easy to read, and isn't some "mystical" manual. It says what Wicca is, where it came from, why it came to existence, what most practice, what most don't, and how to do basic rituals.

One thing you'll learn about Wicca/Most Pagan religions is that they're highly individualized. Wiccans really only practice two rules in common:
The Rule of Karmic Return, also known as the Cosmic 2x4 is that whatever energy, desire, or action you send out, you get something sent back at you eventually.
The Wiccan Rede, which is "Do what you want as long as it harms none."

Witch is a gender-neutral term, Warlock is a slur for an oathbreaker, and Wiccans don't practice Black Magic or Voodoo.

I've been Wiccan for going on... 4 years now! I'll be happy to answer what I can if you wanted to talk. :3

Thanks~! I'll check it out :D I'm always looking for Wicca books to add to the collection, I like to see different perspectives and information based on the topic!

^^^ They're pretty right about it being highly individualized.

Core beliefs are almost all the same, but even they can be a little more different.
I've been a practicing Druid for about 4-5 years now and they're another sub category in the Wiccan spectrum.

The book I would recommend is "The Path of Druidry" by Penny Billington.
It has some good mediations ideas and covers what it is.

Being a Druid, to me, is about connecting yourself to the Earth and the people around you with a focus on self mediation and small changes that can make bigger influences.

Anton LaVey's Satanic Bible.

Although it is different from The Satanic Temple. I find the TST to be darker "yes men".

I second this one.

Thanks~! I'll check it out ^U^/

I'm Otherkin here not really religious but that is where I draw most of my morals from, if you are interested in talking about that sometime hit me up on telegram dfellwing

Satanism is a non deistic religion and there are a few different sects of the church. The old school LaVey satanists are generally more hedonistic while modern satanists, like those of us that being to The Satanic Temple, are generally more community minded. Our tenets can be found here:

If you're really interested in us I'd recommend looking for a local meet and talking with others. Generally we are very open to sharing our experiences, and also very welcoming to newcomers. If you want to talk to me more feel free to comment or message.

Thank you for the information~!

The temple also has a recommended reading list. It spans the practical philosophies of the religion as well as the symbolic nature of Satan to Satanists.

I've seen that others are recommending LaVey's book, and it is certainly worth a read, but LaVey was a deeply flawed man who's life philosophy involved the pursuit of pleasure to the detriment of all else. While he is certainly one of the progenitors of modern Satanism, the religion has really grown since it has moved away from his original creed.

You should check out his Wiki to get some general impressions of his ideas:

Check out the "Basic Tenets" section.

I wish you well on your exploration. :)
