Dear Hendrix,

Hail Satan!

Just kidding. Well, sort of… Let me explain. 

When I was about 23, I was sitting in my bedroom, and for some reason, I decided to do some research on Satanism. That’s the beauty of the internet. So many curious rabbit holes to fall into. Though I wouldn’t suggest doing this on your work computer when you grow up, but I digress…

For years, I’d struggled over what the idea of Satan actually meant. I was raised Roman Catholic—from baptism to First Communion—so I was taught that Satan was “the epitome of evil” and Hell was a dreadful place full of roaring fires and endless suffering.
