Not only do I worship satan and his demons and Devils, I worship the Gods too. I believe there are Gods besides satan and I also believe some of the Gods are Demons and Devils. So, I worship satan, Odin, Thor, Malak, and Raza and Shiva. Who do you worship?
I do have two specific patron/matron deities and my pantheon of honour is the Greek - but I see all the gods/goddesses as being of value to our lives. Some just have a much stronger pull than others.
David, I'm still trying to figure out how you're approaching Satan and demons within a Pagan style practice - and I'm not saying it can't be done - but I'm just not understanding. This doesn't have to be discussed on this thread and it would be better if it wasn't to keep the thread on topic.
Ah, yes... before I forget, my matron, at this time of the year, is Coré and my patron is Hermes.

thanks for sharing innerpoint. I never heard of Hermes. But to answer your question, I worship both because I like Gods, and I like demons and devils and Satan.
Coming from a Gaelic Polytheistic perspective the Gods I honour are from Irish mythology. I have a patron, Donn, and have interacted with a local river goddess. I have offered to other Gods as well; Ogma, Brigid, An Dagda and Lugh, as well as local nature deities and my ancestors. I have no doubt that other deities exist, being a polytheist, though I do not worship them.
Truth in our hearts, Strength in our arms, Fulfillment in our tongues.

A polytheist is one who belives that divinity exists in plurality; that there is a multitude of gods. Most often contrasted with monotheism, which is the belief in a single deity. Polytheim is generally split between the "soft" and "hard" posistions. "Soft" polytheists tend to believe in the existence of multiple deities, but believe they are manifestations of a single group (or even single deity) of gods. "Hard" polytheists tend towards pluralism, there is a multitude of gods and they are seperate, individual entities.

Then I am a polytheist slash Satan worshipper. Thank you for that explanation.
