Ep.39: To Reveal or Conceal - Satanyms in Satanism
In this episode, Tommy and Lilin sit down with Jessy Aumiou'xx, the East Coast's very own Satanic baker and owner of Sugar Anarchy, to chew over the big question: to use a satanym or not? It's all about the decision of whether or not to use a pseudonym in the Satanic community.
Jessy shares their life as a public Satanist running their bakery and how that intertwines with their personal beliefs and business operations. Jessy is all about being out there, using their real name, and what that means for them in both the Satanic and local communities. Tommy and Lilin share their own take, too, balancing between their online personas and real-life activism. They speak about reasons why some in the community opt for satanyms, from avoiding unwanted attention to feeling safer in their expressions of faith.
Listeners get a front-row seat to the conversation on how names, or the choice of not using one's given name, play a huge role in the identity of Satanists. It's a mix of serious talk, personal stories, and a dash of humor, reflecting on what it means to balance safety, public perception, & staying true to oneself.
