Your starting point is too vague. You aren't going to find a starting point that covers everything that is or could be considered Satanism to any satisfactory degree, even on a beginner level.Β

Probably the best starting point would be the Church of Satan website, as they have resources that cover the basic ideas and the foundations of the religion.Β From there you can decide if you want to delve deeper and get yourself a copy of The Satanic Bible.

honestly just read the satanic bible. i was really lost in terms of what satanism as a religion really meant , and what being a satanist meant in a persons life, and reading the satanic bible made me understand a lot clearer !Β

Not sure if theistic satanism is what you're asking about, butΒ Diane Vera'sΒ website is a very good resource for that! It hasn't been updated since 2006, but I find it to be a very good starting point. I would refer to the theistic satanism scene on Tumblr for more recent discussions, as there isn't many places where this is discussed.Β

I own 3 Anton LaVey books, The Satanic Bible, The Satanic Rituals and The Devil's Notebook, I'd say read or listen to an audiobook of those if you're truly interested.

http://theisticsatanism.com/
Tends to be where I get a lot of my information. Even though it's a Theistic Satanist site, it has information and links about non-theistic paths too. It's an early site so the security certificate has expired, but it doesn't ask you to enter anything in and I've never had any problems with it.
Not part of the Church of Azazel myself (the group the site is owned by) but it really does make a lot of information accessible. Hope this helps!

idk any Satanism is pretty sketch honestly like Leveyans present themselves as libertarian but ppl deep in the org can attest that theyre faaaaaaar more right wing than that; temple of set seems sketchy in a more CIA psyopy kinda way and pretty much any theistic group is rightwing too; Temple of Satan is just a libtard political thing tho
maybe luciferian witchcraft is the way to go? havent been doing magicky stuff recently cuz my adhd wont let me n i realized my OCD made me super suceptible to "spiritual grifting" but it seems like an interesting path 2 try if ur into that side of the christian pantheon
