As the term implies, ceremonial weapons are primarily meant to be worn, not used, and thus tend to be less-than-sharp. Besides, that waved blade is not going to cooperate with a sheath.

As a theistic Satanist, this is part of why most of our places of worship don’t allow minors. The other part is that most of us wholeheartedly believe in the freedom of religion, and think that starting kids young only brainwashes them and makes the next generation of Satanists less skeptical of their own faith, leading to a watering down of the religion for everyone.
Also, in response to the other comments, Kris daggers can be sheathed, and there are a few Satanists that still use the inverted cross in specific scenarios. It’s looked down upon by other Satanists, because the cross of St. Peter is the exact opposite of most of our ideals. Even then, plenty of us do use it for one reason or another, but I think it’s most common with ex-Christians symbolizing their rejection of dogma and herd mentality.

At that young of an age the ritualistic orgies wouldn’t be particularly interesting, either.
