SR: Faith is a familiar concept to witches. A belief of all modern Satanists is that they rely on themselves and trust in their own power. Anton LaVey even called Satanism “a very selfish religion” (Frederickson) so a concept about faith that is going to have to be carefully laid out to a Satanist is that your faith is a trust in Jesus not in yourself. Quote:It is difficult sometimes, especially when our loved ones have been hurt, to follow the principles outlined here…VERY difficult. Never the less, that is what we are instructed to do. It is a matter of trust…trust that the God and the Goddess will take care of it…trust that the Universal Laws apply to everyone equally…trust in the Three-Fold Law…and trust in yourself as a Witch, strong in your beliefs. (Quote is from Wren, Walker. “The Three-Fold Law.” The Witches Voice. 16 July 2002. <http://www.witchvox.com/basics/magic.html>.
