Technically, as a Demonolatress, I'm a pantheistic (non-Christian) Satanist, and Wiccans have always been really nice to me and quite accepting.
Also - a lot of misinformation is coming out of this thread. First, there are numerous types of Satanists.
-LaVeyan Satanists are atheists.
-Theistic/Traditional Satanists worship an actual deity named Satan. Some are reverse Christians and others are not! For some - Satan is simply a new name for a much older God and they don't believe in the Christian mythology.
-Pantheistic Satanists, like Theistic Satanists, are sometimes reverse Christians and sometimes not. For some - Satan is simply a new name for a much older God and they don't believe in the Christian mythology. The difference is the Pantheists have more deities than just Satan - oftentimes with Demonic names.
Just thought I'd clarify this because most people don't know this.

Officially, no.
Some Wiccans have problems with the idea that people are basing their religious beliefs on someone else's religion (Christianity), but this has been done thruout the ages (see how Christianity depends on Judeaism).
Also, Wiccans get accused of being Satanists so much, that there's a reaction effect occurring.

No, i am a LaVeyan Satanist, and I have really never gotten crap from the wiccans.....I notice It's mostly the other way around, I see Satanists who have something against a perticular wiccan or are just a dick....so, no not really

I don't and most of the wiccans and pagans I know do know what the church and school of satan is about, and have no issue with the whole thing--but I have met what I call "fundamentalist wiccans" who are basically christians with a goddess who freak out at the mention of the devil--they are few and far between, thank Gwion!

Why no, dear Will we don't! Although I have never read Anton Levay, I've had many friends who have. It seems that those who follow the brother path of Christianity do not tend to shove their beliefs down your throat as the religion it was born from does. Yes Will, in order to be a Satanist, one must be a Christian, for only the Christians believe in Satan! Think about it....
Blessed Be....the thinkers! ; )

When I was a practitioner of Wicca I never then nor do I now look down on Satanists. It is not my place to tell another how they should worship and attempt to judge what is right for them.

Most of the Wiccans I know view almost every spiritual path as valid; I would assume that Satanism is included.

I don't see why they would. It is very different religions, but wiccans are some of the nicest and open minded people on planey earth.

They don't look down on Satanists.
They just look down on being called Satanists.

Everyone looks down on Satanists. As they should.
Well, except other Satanists, that is.
