Sporty Satan is the main protagonist of the show. He runs the Satanic Church and encourages all of the children to come along so he can teach them about Hell. However, he has attracted the hatred of "Sportapus". Luckily [[Robbie]] is here to help.
'''Sportacus''' is the deuteragonist of [[LazyTown]]. Sportacus describes himself as a "slightly above-average hero", though his friends have a higher opinion of him, calling him a superhero.


=Satan's Ritual=
==Description==
Ring the bell, turning counterclockwise; invoke the Four Crowned Princes of Hell. You can do this with your athame [if you have one] OR just point your left index finger and visualize a stream of electric blue light entering the tip of your index finger and filling your entire being. With each turn, the blue becomes more and more intense, filling and charging your entire being. Begin with Satan/Lucifer, facing east and then turn to the north for Beelzebub, west for Astaroth, and south for Azazel, keep charging yourself with the blue energy at each turn:
SATAN/LUCIFER TO THE EAST BEELZEBUB TO THE NORTH ASTAROTH TO THE WEST AZAZEL TO THE SOUTH Then, recite the Invocation to Satan:
INVOCATION TO SATAN: In Nomine Dei Nostri Satanas, Luciferi Excelsi. In the Name of Satan, Ruler of the Earth, True God, Almighty and Ineffable, Who hast created man to reflect in Thine own image and likeness, I invite the Forces of Darkness to bestow their infernal power upon me. Open the Gates of Hell to come forth to greet me as your Brother/Sister and friend.
Deliver me O Mighty Satan from all past error and delusion, fill me with truth, wisdom and understanding, keep me strong in my faith and service, that I may abide always in Thee with Praise, Honor and Glory be given Thee forever and ever.
Drink from Chalice
This is now the height of your ritual where you read your prayer to Father Satan. When you are finished, light the paper in the flame of your candle and place it in your silver bowl to burn. Now is the time for meditation and focus.
After the meditation is when you should talk to Father Satan one on one. After this, more prayers* [see note about Satanic prayers near the bottom of this page] can be said. You can pray during this time in Enochian, either with the Enochian Key/s of your choice, or prayers of your own.
We are all individual and have our own ways of ritual and worship. Very early on, to kneel was given to me by the Demons, and also a close friend had the same experience; to kneel out of respect, but this is between you and Father Satan.
At the end of your ritual close with a HAIL SATAN!!
Turn clockwise and ring the bell.
