In Paganism, Neo-Paganism, and Satanism, a Suitheist is person who believes himself to be a god, but does not deny the existence of other gods. The term was coined by David Michael Cunningham and Traeonna Amanda R. Wagener (co-authors of the book Creating Magickal Entities) in 2001 (although the term had been used prior starting in 1998) when they were unable to find a "theism" to describe their principles of belief and others like them. Sui ("of oneself") comes from Latin, and theism (belief in the existence of a god or gods) from Greek.
