Satanism is often misunderstood, especially when it comes to its stance on morality and individual freedom.

Making Mistakes is Human

Satan admits that there will be errors. It is human to make wrong decisions, misinterpret something, or act without thinking through the consequences. Satanism is not afraid of this reality either. On the contrary, it focuses on the fact that people make them and it is quite normal. Admitting that one is wrong makes one more willing to listen and change their ways.

True Remorse Fuels Change

The only way to achieve the real change is to repent. If a person has offended another person and has no remorse, then the act of apologizing is merely an empty gesture. According to Satan, they are selfish and not genuine at all. Real regret leads to the necessity of the change. The individual considers the behavior and its effects on other people and promises not to repeat the same mistake.

Accountability Without Shame

Satanic view on responsibility is not the same as in some religions. There is no focus on retribution or redemption through divine intervention. The emphasis is on introspection and individualism. It means admitting our faults and showing that we are capable of improving ourselves and becoming more responsible.

Avoiding Empty Apologies

Satan stresses on the fact that people should not make useless apologies. If a person is sure that he or she will commit the same mistake again then the forced apology has no meaning. It is impolite to the other person and also does not encourage developing as an individual. On the other hand, a Satanist would try to identify the cause of the misconduct and ensure that it does not happen again.

Steps for Positive Change

The Satanic approach to mistakes is not limited to merely feeling sorry for them. It also promotes specific actions that can be taken to avoid such occurrences in the future. This could entail altering the way one thinks, learning how to manage stress, or turning to a therapist. It means to consciously strive to be a person who will not repeat the same mistake.

Living a Self-Directed Life

Satanism is a philosophy which encourages people to live life on their own terms. This means that by accepting responsibility for our behavior and its ramifications, we are able to improve our circumstances. This is a way that leads to personal development, better relationships, and a happier life.

As people, we ought to take responsibilities for our actions and not deny it; It is not a sign of weakness. It is not easy to stand up and say that one has made a mistake and then make an effort to change it. This approach helps a Satanist to learn to respect oneself and be able to make the right decision the following time.

Stronger Relationships: To have healthy relationships, it is important that one has integrity and that trust forms the foundation of the relationship. When Satanists own up to their errors and when they are honest to others, they are able to foster better relationships with people.
Respect Through Integrity: When a person takes responsibility for their actions repeatedly, it depicts him or her as being a person of integrity. This, in turn, gains the respect of other people who appreciate people who are honest and who can take responsibility for their actions.
Continuous Growth: If one perceives the errors during the learning process as feedback that serve as stepping stones towards development, then making mistakes helps in one’s growth. Through the identification of mistakes made, the Satanists are privileged with guidance on how to handle other situations.


Satanism is a philosophy of life that encourages practical and confident attitude towards life. In this way, Satanists are able to create a much healthier culture of personal accountability and, ultimately, a more meaningful and genuine life. They navigate through life without feeling guilty, which in turn results in better bonds in addition to the improvement of one’s self-esteem. This accountability envisions them to become the best version of themselves as individuals.
