Most Important Questions & Answers
Everyone has different families, beliefs, and ideas. We believe children should be able to learn about different beliefs and decide what they think for themselves as they grow up. You are allowed to disagree with anyone's religion and answers, including ours.
Here are some questions you might have!
======== RELIGION QUESTIONS ========
Which religion should I choose?
You can learn about different religions and decide what you believe when you are ready. You can be religious, follow a different religion from your family, or have no religion at all.
There is nothing wrong with being different from other people.
Are there really gods?
Different people have different beliefs about gods. We believe there is not enough scientific evidence to show that gods exist. Other people may believe differently, and we should treat them with respect.
Is Satan or Lucifer real?
We do not believe that a real Satan or Lucifer is secretly living somewhere. The fictional symbol of Satan to us represents questioning rules, thinking for yourself, and standing up for what you believe is right.
Someone told me I'm going to Hell. Should I be scared?
You do not need to be scared, as we believe there is no scientific evidence to prove the existence of Hell at all. Different religions have different ideas about what happens after we die.
If someone is using Hell as a threat, they want to use their religion to control you, so you should ignore their threats and live your life.
What happens when someone dies?
Nobody knows everything about what happens after death. We believe that there is no afterlife. Instead, we can focus on the life we have now.
When someone we love dies, it is okay to feel sad. We can remember the good times we shared with them.
My family is religious. Do I have to believe everything they believe?
You do not have to agree with your family's religion. You may be pushed by your parents into joining their religion, but you do not have to.As you grow up, you can learn about different ideas and think about what you truly believe.
Is it wrong to believe something different from my parents?
Not at all! People in the same family can have different opinions and beliefs. You can love and respect your family even when you don't agree about everything.
======== FAMILY QUESTIONS ========
Is it wrong for my parents to get divorced?
It is not wrong for parents to get divorced. Sometimes parents decide that living separately is better for their family. A divorce can be difficult, but it is never a child's fault. It is safer for a bad marriage to end, than for a bad marriage to be forced.
Is it okay for my parents to attack each other?
Not at all! People should not attack each other. If you see violence at home or feel unsafe, tell a trusted adult who can help keep you safe.
Is it okay for my parents to spank or hit me?
Not at all! Many religions believe hitting children can help them, but it is abuse, and if your parents hit you in any way, it should be reported to a trusted adult.
=== GENDER & IDENTITY QUESTIONS ===
Is it okay to be gay?
Yes! People can be gay and still be happy, healthy, and wonderful people. No one should be treated differently for their sexuality. What matters is being kind, respecting other people's boundaries, and making sure everyone is safe.
Is it okay to be transgender?
Yes! Transgender people can be happy, healthy, and wonderful people too. No one should be treated differently for their gender-identity. What matters is being kind, respecting other people's boundaries, and making sure everyone is safe.
What pronouns should I use?
You should use the pronouns you love the most. Some people use he, some use she, and some use they or other pronouns.
Should I use my classmates' pronouns?
Yes! Using someone's pronouns is a simple way to show respect. If you accidentally use the wrong pronouns for your classmate, you can apologize and try again, or ask them what their pronouns are.
Can I wear a dress if i'm a boy? Or wear pants of i'm a girl?
Yes! People can enjoy different clothes, hairstyles, colors, toys, and activities, regardless of their sex or gender. The only people who get mad at boys wearing dresses, or girls wearing pants are bullies.

Krampusnacht (cramp-us-knockt) is a holiday celebrated by many Satanists and non-Satanists on December 5th.
It is a night for people to have fun with friends, dress up in costumes, and enjoy festivals and parades.
Think of it like Halloween in December! Instead of trick-or-treating, people dress up as Krampus and other silly or spooky creatures.
Who is Krampus? 👹
Krampus is a creature from European folklore.
In old stories, Krampus is often described as a scary creature who visits children who misbehave. He is sometimes described as the opposite of Santa Claus, who brings presents to children.
Don't worry! Krampus is not real!
Today, people can dress up as Krampus just like they dress up as other characters for Halloween. Krampus festivals can include costumes, music, dancing, parades, and lots of fun.
Is Krampusnacht about hurting people?
No! Not at all!
Some people misunderstand Krampusnacht because Krampus looks scary in old stories. But now, Krampus celebrations are about costumes, folklore, festivals, and having fun.
People can enjoy a spooky character without actually wanting to hurt anyone. Krampusnacht teaches us that sometimes scary-looking characters can be part of fun stories and traditions.
You can enjoy spooky costumes without being afraid of them!

Hexennacht (hex-en-ahkt) is a day observed by some Satanists on April 30th.
It is a day to remember people who were treated badly because they were accused of being witches, which was not true.
What does Hexennacht want us to remember?
Hundreds of years ago, some people were very afraid of witchcraft. During events like the Salem Witch Trials, many people were accused of being witches and were killed, even when there was no good evidence.
Hexennacht helps us remember these people and think about how fear can cause people to treat others unfairly.
Do these witch hunts happen today?
A witch hunt can also mean when a group of people is unfairly blamed or attacked because of who they are or what they believe.
Today, some people still face unfair treatment because of the country they were born in, their sexuality, or their gender-identtiy. People will also try to ban others from reading certain books or learning about ideas they disagree with.
Hexennacht encourages people to speak up when they see unfair treatment and to stand up for people who are being targeted.
How is Hexennacht observed?
People who observe Hexennacht might get together with friends, dress up like witches, tell stories, or talk about history.
The goal is to remember the past and learn from it, or else the same events will happen again.
Hexennacht teaches us is to not let fear turn people against each other. Treat others fairly, stand up for people who are being bullied, and remember what happened when people were punished simply for being different.

Lupercalia (lu-per-call-ee-uh) was an ancient Roman festival celebrated during February.
Today, some Pagans and Satanists celebrate Lupercalia as a time to think about love, freedom, and having control over your own body and identity.
How did people celebrate Lupercalia?
Lupercalia was celebrated as winter was coming to an end and spring was getting closer. People gathered together for festivals and celebrations.
Families and friends spent time together, and couples could celebrate their love.
The ancient Romans also believed that their celebrations could bring good luck and help their communities.
Why does Lupercalia take place on Valentine's Day?
You might notice that Lupercalia and Valentine's Day are both celebrated in February!
Lupercalia existed long before Christianity became widespread in Rome. As Christianity became more powerful, some Christian leaders tried to stop older Pagan traditions and replace them with Christian celebrations.
Later, Valentine's Day became an important Christian holiday celebrating Saint Valentine. Over many years, Valentine's Day became a popular celebration of love for everyone.
Some people believe that Valentine's Day may have been influenced by older Roman traditions, including Lupercalia. Historians still debate exactly how much the two holidays are connected.
Is Lupercalia celebrated today?
Lupercalia is still celebrated by some people today.
Different people celebrate it in different ways. They might spend time with people they love, celebrate their freedom, or enjoy the coming of spring.
Whether you celebrate Lupercalia, Valentine's Day, both, or neither, February can be a great time to think about love, friendship, and respecting yourself and others. ❤️

Yule (you-ool) is a winter holiday celebrated by Pagans and some Satanists. It takes place around the winter solstice, which is the shortest day and longest night of the year.
Yule is a time to celebrate with people you care about. Families and friends can get together, share food, give gifts, tell stories, and enjoy time together.
Why did people celebrate Yule?
Long ago, winter could be very difficult. The weather was cold, and people did not have much food available.
Winter celebrations gave people a chance to come together and enjoy themselves. People could share a big meal, light candles, decorate their homes, and gather around warm fires.
Why does Yule happen around Christmas?
You may have noticed that Yule and Christmas happen around the same time of year!
Yule was celebrated in parts of Europe before Christianity became widespread. These Christians hated Yule, and discouraged people from celebrating it, until Pagans agreed to make it about Jesus's birthday.
Over time, different winter traditions became connected with Christmas. This is one reason that some traditions—such as giving gifts, decorating, having big meals, and using candles or lights—can be found in different winter celebrations.
Do people celebrate Yule today?
People still celebrate Yule today.
Different people celebrate in different ways. Some might have a special meal with their family, give gifts, light candles, start a campfire, or spend time with friends.
The most important part is coming together and celebrating the people who made your year special. So think of Yule as a big winter celebration, and a chance to say:
“Thank you for making my year fun!” ❤️
