The Joy of Satan (JoS) is a website and occult organization promoting so-called "spiritual Satanism". Their beliefs vary from various UFO conspiracy theories to anti-semitic conspiracy theories. They were founded in 2002 by Maxine Dietrich, who has ties with the "National Socialist Movement".[1]
Beliefs[edit]
Their ideology and beliefs are mostly based on a mix of Paganism, National Socialism, and extraterrestrial beliefs.[2]
They believe Satan to be the Sumerian god Enki, and that he was known under different names in various pagan belief systems. They claim that the demons are the ancient pagan gods and that the Abrahamic beings like Yahweh work on humanity's destruction.[3][4]
Practices[edit]
The Joy of Satan promotes the so-called "Reverse Torah Rituals" as a means to "fight the enemy curses". They also practice rituals of worship and summoning of Satan and the demons.[5]
