Theistic Satanism — taken as religion, not theatre
The High Satanic Church
Here, Satan is not a mascot or political metaphor. We worship him as a real spiritual being. Read what that means, examine the public record, or simply look around without joining anything.

Public reference project
The Theistic Satanist Wiki
A collaborative encyclopedia for the wider field, not a second copy of Church doctrine.
It covers theology, history, demonology, ritual, texts, terminology, organizations, culture, and debate. Church teachings are identified as Church teachings; other traditions are described on their own terms. Article histories remain visible, and significant factual claims are expected to name sources.
Reference subjects
Theology & cosmology
Demonology & spirits
History & traditions

Gatherings
Upcoming rituals
Online gatherings for reading, silence, and shared devotion. Times are shown with each event.
No Church ritual is currently scheduled. The next gathering will be placed here when it is entered in the ritual calendar.
Who we are
A small theistic Satanist congregation
We worship Satan as a deity, not as a political or literary symbol. Most activity is simple: reading, talking with other members, keeping a private practice, and joining a gathering when one is scheduled.
Membership is free. New people can take their time and ask basic questions without pretending to know more than they do.
About us
The lodge network
Find a lodge
Lodges are independent working groups connected to the Church. Each has its own focus, membership path, and public website.
Joining the Church does not require joining a lodge. Explore the available lodges and choose only the spaces that suit your practice.

What we hold
Core principles
I
Satan as God
We believe Satan is real and direct our worship toward him.
II
The acausal
We use acausal as a term for spiritual reality that is not explained by ordinary cause and effect.
III
Discernment
Members are expected to read critically and keep their own judgement.
IV
Practice before certainty
No one is expected to arrive with a complete theology. Practice and understanding develop over time.
V
Discipline
Regular study and private practice matter more than dramatic claims.
VI
Recognition
Spiritual experience should be described honestly, without pressure to exaggerate it.
Feedback
Survey
A short, anonymous survey helps us understand who visits the site and what people might need from the congregation.
The survey is intended to be anonymous. Please do not include identifying details unless you choose to do so.
Questions
Common questions
Is membership free?
Yes. There are no dues, subscriptions, or joining fees.
Do you charge for rituals or events?
No. The rituals and gatherings listed here are free to attend. We don't sell rituals, access, or spiritual status.
Are you affiliated with the Church of Satan or The Satanic Temple?
No. We are independent. Those groups generally approach Satan symbolically or atheistically; we're theistic. We mention it so visitors know where we stand.
Can anyone join?
Anyone may create a Visitor account. Congregation membership begins after the Visitor signs in, requests Neophyte, and passes a basic good-faith review intended to screen out trolling, harassment, and deliberate disruption.
Do I need prior experience with Satanism to take part?
No. You can start as a reader, ask basic questions, and take your time. Experienced practitioners are welcome too — as long as they can share space respectfully with newer people.
Take your time
Read the public pages first. Create an account when you are ready to take part.
Independent congregation
We are an independent theistic Satanist congregation founded on 15 March 2026.
We are not affiliated with the Church of Satan, The Satanic Temple, or another organisation using a similar name or symbol. We do not claim endorsement, succession, or institutional continuity from those organisations.
Some of our theological vocabulary, including acausal, also appears in older esoteric currents. We acknowledge that overlap rather than treating shared vocabulary as proof of lineage. The Church has no organisational relationship with the Order of Nine Angles or an O9A nexion, and our published rules reject extremist politics, coercion, abuse, violence, and illegal activity.
