Theistic Satanism, also known as Conservative Satanism, Traditional Satanism, Spiritual Satanism, Devil Worship and originally just Satanism, is a form of Satanism with the primary belief that Satan is an actual deity or force to revere and/or worship. Other characteristics of Theistic Satanism may include a belief in magic, which is manipulated through ritual, although that is not a defining criterion, and theistic Satanists may focus solely on devotion. Unlike LaVeyan Satanism, which was founded by Anton LaVey in the 1960s, Theistic Satanism is theistic as opposed to atheistic, believing that Satan (the Hebrew word for Adversary) is a real being, as opposed to purely a symbol of individualism. The history of Theistic Satanism, and assessments of its reality or prevalence in history, is obscured by it having been grounds for execution at some times in the past, and due to individuals having been accused of it who possibly did not consider themselves to worship Satan, such as in the Witch trials in Early Modern Europe.
