This was the third London Satanists meeting, and it was excellent! The meeting was scheduled from 2pm until late, and it continued until past 10pm. I met some prominent people in the First Church of Satan UK community, and other members of the Church of Satan proper.
It was amazing to talk with such people, of all the little gatherings I attend the LS group are by far the most fascinating, intelligent and interesting. It feels like all of us specialize in different areas. For example, one member is very educated (self taught, probably, of course) in demonology, and he was able to expand and teach me more about any particular aspect of demonology. Others shared their knowledge of politics, sociology and middle eastern history.

It was good to see the regulars. Some neophytes were there. They came across as intelligent, sensible and fun loving. And yet they were concerned about wether they were ready to accept the label of 'Satanist'!
Aside from the demonology we also talked about magic, ritual, will power and inter church politics. We talked about each other, and a few people discussed how they got into Satanism in the first place.
I get the feeling that all of us are particularly productive, happy, intelligent and scholarly in our lives. Could it actually be that Satanism isn't attracting people quite as insane, or young, as I thought it would? Not in the UK, it seems.
