I just realised I forgot to mention something in the previous announcement.

We also have two meditation videos available on YouTube!

These are more specifically dedicated to individual Gods, intended for those who wish to meditate, reflect, or spend some time in devotion to them.

You can find them here:

I'll admit they're far from perfect. I've mostly just been experimenting and playing around with BandLab, trying different sounds and seeing what I can create. I'm certainly not a professional musician, but I thought it would be nice to share these experiments with the community anyway.

Hopefully, with more practice, I'll be able to make better ones in the future, including more meditations dedicated to other Gods.

For now, I hope some of you will find them enjoyable or useful in your own spiritual practices.

Once again, Happy Halloween to everyone!

Hail Satan.

The Satanic Church HSC – J. Berwart

Greetings to everyone,

First of all, Happy Halloween.

I hope everyone is enjoying the occasion, however you choose to celebrate it. I also wanted to take this opportunity to share a few updates about the High Satanic Church, what we've been working on, and where things are heading.

First, we now have an official subreddit: r/HighSatanicChurch.

https://www.reddit.com/r/HighSatanicChurch/

I'll admit that I've never really used Reddit before, so this is something new for me. Still, I thought it would be a good idea to give our community another place to gather, discuss Satanism, ask questions, share knowledge, and connect with others who share similar beliefs.

The subreddit is still very new, and I'm figuring things out as I go, but everyone genuinely interested in theistic Satanism is welcome to join and help build it into something worthwhile.

We've also published the first two volumes of Shams al-Ma'arif on Amazon.

This is a project we've been working on for some time, and I'm pleased to finally see it taking shape. Two of the three planned volumes are now available, with the third still to come.

For those interested, you can find them here:

Volume I:

Volume II:

Making historical occult literature more accessible is something I consider important, and I hope to continue working on similar publications in the future. There is a great deal of knowledge scattered across old texts, traditions, and languages that deserves to be preserved and studied.

We're also expanding the Church into more languages.

One of our priorities has been making the High Satanic Church accessible to people beyond the English-speaking community. We're now expanding our translations to include Portuguese, Japanese, German, Polish, and Russian,...

For existing members, you can also choose which language you would prefer to receive emails in.

If you'd rather receive Church announcements and other emails in a language other than English, you can change your language preference directly in your member profile:

https://www.thesatanicchurch.org/members/profile.php

We encourage everyone to update their preferences so that future communications can reach them in the language they're most comfortable with.

Beyond these publications and translations, the High Satanic Church itself continues to grow.

What began as an idea is gradually becoming something much larger. The website is being developed further, more material is being prepared, and we're working to make the Church accessible to people from different countries and linguistic backgrounds.

There is still an enormous amount of work ahead of us. Building something meaningful takes time, and I would rather see the Church grow steadily, with a solid foundation, than rush things simply for the sake of appearing bigger.

I also want to thank everyone who has taken an interest in the Church so far, whether you've been following our work for a while or have only recently discovered us. Every person who reads, participates, asks questions, or contributes to the community helps it move forward.

I have many more plans for the High Satanic Church, some of which are already being worked on, and I look forward to sharing them when the time comes.

For now, I simply wanted to let everyone know that we're still here, still working, and continuing to grow.

Once again, Happy Halloween and Happy Satanween to everyone! Whether you're celebrating tonight or simply enjoying a quiet evening, I wish you all a wonderful day and night.

Thank you all for being part of this.

Hail Satan.

Greetings everyone,

The Church website will be temporarily offline for maintenance while we perform some updates, including updating PHP following the recently discovered security flaw.

During this time, the website and its features will be unavailable.

We'll work on getting everything back online as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Greetings everyone!

We've been considering selling some items through the Church, and I'd like to hear what you all think about the idea.

These could include tarot cards, altar items such as tarot tablecloths, flags, and other occult or Satanic items.

The main purpose would be to raise funds for future Church projects, particularly the possibility of establishing a physical lodge somewhere if we manage to raise enough money.

We're also planning to start selling rare and harder-to-find occult books that aren't necessarily related to the Church itself, such as Shams al-Ma'arif al-Kubra. We'd aim to offer these at more reasonable prices than some of the ridiculously expensive copies currently being sold, while also using the proceeds to support the Church's future projects.

Also, if there's a particular occult book you'd like to see available at a more affordable price, and it's in the public domain, feel free to suggest it to us. We could look into publishing our own edition and making it available for less than what other sellers are charging.

Another idea we're considering, if we eventually have sufficient funds, is a free book program for members who cannot afford to purchase books, allowing them to receive physical copies at no cost.

None of these projects are guaranteed yet, particularly the physical lodge, but they're things we'd like to work towards.

Would you be interested in purchasing items like these? And are there any particular products or books you'd like us to offer?

Feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions!

Also, I'd encourage everyone to be a little more active in the forum, Discord, or simply chatting with other members. Things have been pretty quiet lately, and it would be nice to see some more discussions and activity within the community.

Francais:

Seriez-vous intéressés par des articles de l'Église et des livres occultes ?

Bonjour à tous !

Nous envisageons de vendre certains articles par l'intermédiaire de l'Église, et j'aimerais connaître votre avis sur cette idée.

Il pourrait s'agir de jeux de tarot, d'accessoires d'autel comme des nappes pour les tirages de tarot, de drapeaux et d'autres articles occultes ou sataniques.

L'objectif principal serait de récolter des fonds pour les futurs projets de l'Église, notamment la possibilité d'établir un lieu de réunion physique pour notre loge quelque part, si nous parvenons à réunir suffisamment d'argent.

Nous prévoyons également de commencer à vendre des livres occultes rares ou difficiles à trouver, qui ne sont pas nécessairement liés à l'Église elle-même, comme le Shams al-Ma'arif al-Kubra. Nous chercherions à les proposer à des prix plus raisonnables que certaines éditions actuellement vendues à des prix exorbitants, tout en utilisant les bénéfices pour soutenir les futurs projets de l'Église.

De plus, si vous connaissez un livre occulte que vous aimeriez pouvoir acheter à un prix plus abordable et qui appartient au domaine public, n'hésitez pas à nous le suggérer. Nous pourrions envisager de publier notre propre édition et de la proposer à un prix inférieur à celui des autres vendeurs.

Une autre idée que nous envisageons, si nous disposons un jour de fonds suffisants, serait de créer un programme de distribution gratuite de livres pour les membres qui n'ont pas les moyens d'en acheter, afin qu'ils puissent recevoir des exemplaires physiques gratuitement.

Aucun de ces projets n'est encore garanti, en particulier celui de la loge physique, mais ce sont des objectifs vers lesquels nous aimerions avancer.

Seriez-vous intéressés par l'achat de ce type d'articles ? Y a-t-il des produits ou des livres particuliers que vous aimeriez que nous proposions ?

N'hésitez pas à partager vos avis et vos suggestions !

J'aimerais également encourager tout le monde à participer un peu plus au forum, au Discord ou simplement à discuter avec les autres membres. Ces espaces sont assez calmes ces derniers temps, et ce serait agréable d'y voir davantage de discussions et d'activité au sein de notre communauté.

Espagnol:

¿Les interesaría comprar artículos de la Iglesia y libros de ocultismo?

¡Saludos a todos!

Estamos considerando vender algunos artículos a través de la Iglesia y me gustaría conocer su opinión sobre esta idea.

Podrían incluir barajas de tarot, artículos para el altar como manteles para lecturas de tarot, banderas y otros productos ocultistas o satánicos.

El objetivo principal sería recaudar fondos para futuros proyectos de la Iglesia, especialmente la posibilidad de establecer una logia física en algún lugar si conseguimos reunir suficiente dinero.

También estamos planeando empezar a vender libros de ocultismo raros o difíciles de encontrar que no necesariamente estén relacionados con la Iglesia, como Shams al-Ma'arif al-Kubra. Nuestra intención sería ofrecerlos a precios más razonables que algunas de las ediciones que actualmente se venden a precios exagerados, utilizando también los ingresos para apoyar futuros proyectos de la Iglesia.

Además, si hay algún libro de ocultismo que les gustaría conseguir a un precio más económico y que sea de dominio público, no duden en sugerírnoslo. Podríamos considerar publicar nuestra propia edición y ofrecerla a un precio más bajo que otros vendedores.

Otra idea que estamos considerando, si en el futuro contamos con fondos suficientes, es crear un programa de libros gratuitos para miembros que no puedan permitirse comprarlos, para que puedan recibir ejemplares físicos sin coste alguno.

Ninguno de estos proyectos está garantizado todavía, especialmente el de la logia física, pero son objetivos en los que nos gustaría trabajar.

¿Les interesaría comprar este tipo de artículos? ¿Hay algún producto o libro en particular que les gustaría que ofreciéramos?

¡No duden en compartir sus opiniones y sugerencias!

También me gustaría animar a todos a participar un poco más en el foro, en Discord o simplemente a conversar con otros miembros. Últimamente estos espacios han estado bastante tranquilos y sería agradable ver más conversaciones y actividad dentro de nuestra comunidad.

العربية:

هل ترغبون في شراء منتجات الكنيسة والكتب الغيبية؟

تحياتي للجميع!

نفكر حاليًا في بيع بعض المنتجات من خلال الكنيسة، وأود معرفة آرائكم حول هذه الفكرة.

قد تشمل هذه المنتجات بطاقات التاروت، ومستلزمات المذبح مثل مفارش قراءة التاروت، والأعلام، وغيرها من المنتجات المرتبطة بالممارسات الغيبية أو الشيطانية.

الهدف الأساسي هو جمع الأموال لدعم مشاريع الكنيسة المستقبلية، وخاصة إمكانية إنشاء مقر فعلي للمحفل في مكان ما، إذا تمكنا من جمع التمويل الكافي.

كما نخطط للبدء في بيع كتب غيبية نادرة أو يصعب العثور عليها، ولا يشترط أن تكون مرتبطة بالكنيسة نفسها، مثل كتاب شمس المعارف الكبرى. وسنسعى إلى توفير هذه الكتب بأسعار معقولة مقارنة ببعض النسخ التي تُباع حاليًا بأسعار باهظة جدًا، مع تخصيص العائدات لدعم مشاريع الكنيسة المستقبلية.

كذلك، إذا كان هناك كتاب في مجال العلوم الغيبية ترغبون في الحصول عليه بسعر أقل، وكان ضمن الملكية العامة، فلا تترددوا في اقتراحه علينا. فقد ندرس إمكانية إصدار طبعتنا الخاصة منه وبيعها بسعر أقل من الأسعار التي يطلبها البائعون الآخرون.

ومن الأفكار الأخرى التي ندرسها، إذا توفرت لدينا أموال كافية مستقبلًا، إنشاء برنامج لتوفير الكتب مجانًا للأعضاء الذين لا يستطيعون تحمل تكاليف شرائها، بحيث يتمكنون من الحصول على نسخ ورقية دون مقابل.

لا يمكننا ضمان تنفيذ أي من هذه المشاريع حتى الآن، وخاصة مشروع المقر الفعلي للمحفل، لكنها أهداف نود العمل على تحقيقها.

هل ستكونون مهتمين بشراء مثل هذه المنتجات؟ وهل هناك منتجات أو كتب معينة تودون أن نوفرها؟

لا تترددوا في مشاركة آرائكم واقتراحاتكم!

وأود أيضًا تشجيع الجميع على المشاركة بشكل أكبر في المنتدى أو خادم ديسكورد، أو حتى مجرد التحدث مع الأعضاء الآخرين. فقد أصبحت هذه المساحات هادئة إلى حد كبير مؤخرًا، وسيكون من الجميل رؤية المزيد من النقاشات والنشاط داخل مجتمعنا.

עברית:

האם הייתם מעוניינים במוצרים של הכנסייה ובספרי תורת הנסתר?

שלום לכולם!

אנחנו שוקלים למכור כמה מוצרים דרך הכנסייה, והייתי רוצה לשמוע מה דעתכם על הרעיון.

המוצרים עשויים לכלול קלפי טארוט, אביזרי מזבח כגון מפות לפריסת קלפי טארוט, דגלים ופריטים נוספים הקשורים לתורת הנסתר או לשטניזם.

המטרה העיקרית היא לגייס כספים לפרויקטים עתידיים של הכנסייה, ובמיוחד לאפשרות להקים לשכה פיזית במקום כלשהו, אם נצליח לגייס מספיק כסף.

אנחנו גם מתכננים להתחיל למכור ספרי תורת הנסתר נדירים או קשים להשגה, שאינם בהכרח קשורים לכנסייה עצמה, כמו Shams al-Ma'arif al-Kubra (שמס אל-מעריף אל-כוברא). המטרה שלנו היא להציע אותם במחירים סבירים יותר בהשוואה לחלק מהמהדורות שנמכרות כיום במחירים מוגזמים, ולהשתמש בהכנסות גם לתמיכה בפרויקטים העתידיים של הכנסייה.

בנוסף, אם יש ספר העוסק בתורת הנסתר שהייתם רוצים להשיג במחיר נמוך יותר, והוא נמצא בנחלת הכלל, אתם מוזמנים להציע אותו לנו. נוכל לבדוק אפשרות להוציא מהדורה משלנו ולהציע אותה במחיר נמוך יותר מזה של מוכרים אחרים.

רעיון נוסף שאנחנו שוקלים, אם יהיו לנו מספיק משאבים בעתיד, הוא ליצור תוכנית לחלוקת ספרים בחינם לחברים שאין באפשרותם לרכוש ספרים, כך שיוכלו לקבל עותקים מודפסים ללא תשלום.

אף אחד מהפרויקטים האלה עדיין אינו מובטח, ובמיוחד לא הקמת הלשכה הפיזית, אבל אלה מטרות שהיינו רוצים לפעול לקראתן.

האם הייתם מעוניינים לרכוש מוצרים כאלה? והאם יש מוצרים או ספרים מסוימים שהייתם רוצים שנציע?

אתם מוזמנים לשתף את הדעות וההצעות שלכם!

בנוסף, הייתי רוצה לעודד את כולם להיות קצת יותר פעילים בפורום, בדיסקורד או פשוט לשוחח עם חברים אחרים. המקומות האלה היו די שקטים לאחרונה, ויהיה נחמד לראות יותר שיחות ופעילות בתוך הקהילה שלנו.

Greetings everyone,

With Halloween coming up on October 31st, I wanted to wish everyone in the Church a happy Halloween in advance.

Whether you plan on spending the evening performing a ritual, taking some time for personal devotion, or simply enjoying the holiday, I hope you all have a good evening.

🇫🇷 Français:

À l'approche d'Halloween, le 31 octobre, je tenais à souhaiter à tous les membres de l'Église une joyeuse fête d'Halloween en avance.
Que vous prévoyiez de passer la soirée à pratiquer un rituel, à consacrer un peu de temps à votre dévotion personnelle ou simplement à profiter de cette fête, j'espère que vous passerez tous une bonne soirée.

🇪🇸 Español;

Con la llegada de Halloween el 31 de octubre, quería desearles a todos los miembros de la Iglesia un feliz Halloween por adelantado.
Ya sea que tengan pensado pasar la noche realizando un ritual, dedicando un tiempo a la devoción personal o simplemente disfrutando de la festividad, espero que todos pasen una buena noche.

🇸🇦 العربية:

مع اقتراب عيد الهالوين في 31 أكتوبر، أردت أن أتقدم بالتهنئة إلى جميع أعضاء الكنيسة بمناسبة الهالوين مسبقًا.
سواء كنتم تخططون لقضاء الأمسية في أداء طقس ديني، أو تخصيص بعض الوقت للتعبّد الشخصي، أو مجرد الاستمتاع بهذه المناسبة، أتمنى لكم جميعًا أمسية سعيدة.

🇮🇱 עברית:

לקראת ליל כל הקדושים (האלווין), שיחול ב-31 באוקטובר, רציתי לאחל מראש לכל חברי הכנסייה חג האלווין שמח.
בין אם אתם מתכננים לבלות את הערב בעריכת טקס, להקדיש זמן לפולחן אישי או פשוט ליהנות מהחג, אני מקווה שלכולכם יהיה ערב נעים.

Ave Satanas!

The Satanic Church HSC – J. Berwart

Greetings everyone,

There are some big changes coming to the Church.
One of the main ones is that we are going to expand beyond English. We are currently working on Arabic, Hebrew, French, and Spanish versions of the site and material.

I have been working on this quite a lot, together with a few other people who have been helping with translations and other parts of the site. A lot has already been done, but I am waiting until a few more texts are translated before making everything fully updated and pushing the larger changes live.

Since this is the first time we are expanding into several languages, part of the work also involves checking the translations carefully and fixing mistranslations, awkward wording, and other errors before everything is considered finished.

Anyone who wants to help translate Church texts is welcome to, in any language. You do not have to limit yourself to the languages we are already working on. I will personally be handling the translations of The Book of the Acausal Way and Principles of the Church, while other texts can also be worked on by members who want to help.
There are also more changes coming to the site, the library, and other parts of the Church once that is finished.

The Discord is also open to anyone who wants to join and speak with the community:

https://www.discord.gg/thsc

So there is quite a lot happening behind the scenes at the moment, and more will be announced once it is ready.

The Satanic Church HSC – J. Berwart

Greetings everyone,

A couple of small updates.

New Library Theme

The Church library now has a new theme and layout. The main goal was to make it easier to browse and use, especially as more books and texts are added over time.

Things should now be a little clearer and easier to navigate.

Website Downtime

The website was also down for a few hours earlier due to some changes and maintenance.

Everything should now be back online and working normally, so members can once again access the site and continue with their devotions.

Thank you for your patience while everything was being worked on.

The Satanic Church HSC – J. Berwart

Greetings everyone,

A small update has been made to The Book of the Acausal Way.

There are no major changes to the text, but I have added a number of illustrations throughout the book. I drew most of them myself, although I am very bad at drawing by hand, so for some of the simpler ones I used basic shapes instead, such as the candle illustration.

The changes are mostly visual and are meant to make the book a little easier and more interesting to read without changing the content itself.

I am still not completely happy with most of the illustrations, though, so I will probably keep working on them and replacing or improving some of them soon.

The Satanic Church HSC – J. Berwart

Greetings everyone,

I have been working on some of the first material intended for the Diale Lodge, and before I go much further with it, I would like to get some opinions from members.

I am still not completely sure whether this is the direction the Lodge should take, so if anyone would like to have an early look at the material and give me some honest feedback, let me know.

The current material goes further into subjects such as devotional practice, mystical experience and discernment, black alchemy, ritual construction, symbolism, personal transformation, and practical exercises. It is meant to be more advanced and structured than the general material of the Church.

Nothing in it should be considered final yet. Parts may be rewritten, expanded, removed, or taken in a completely different direction depending on how the Lodge develops.

What I am mainly interested in knowing is whether this feels like the kind of material you would expect or want from the Diale Lodge, or whether you think the Lodge should focus on something different.

Anyone is welcome to ask for access and have a look. If you prefer, you can request it by email or through the Church contact form rather than asking publicly.

If anyone wants to be one of the first to read through it, let me know.

The Satanic Church HSC – J. Berwart

Greetings everyone,

Today marks six months since the High Satanic Church was founded.

It is still strange to think that half a year has already passed. A lot has changed in that time, and there is still a great deal I want to build, write, and improve. Thank you to everyone who has joined, contributed, shared feedback, or simply spent time reading and participating.

The School Is Now Open

The first version of the Church school is now open.

There is not a huge amount of content there yet, as this is only the first release, but I wanted to get it online so members can begin using it while I continue developing it.

I plan to add much more material over time, including written lessons and, especially, videos. I have already started working on one of the first videos, although progress was interrupted after I managed to cut my finger while cutting wood to make a doll for a future text I was also filming material for.

So there will be more coming once my hand is a little more cooperative.

Upcoming Meditation Book

I am also currently working on a new book focused on meditation. It is not fully finished yet, but it is progressing well and I plan to release it once the remaining sections are complete.

One thing I would like some feedback on when I release it is the text size and overall length. I originally copied the formatting and text size used in The Book of the Acausal Way, but after doing that, a manuscript that would normally have been under 50 pages ended up at around 168 pages.

That is obviously quite a difference.

Once the book is released, if members feel that the text is too large or that it would be easier to read in a more compact format, please let me know. I can always adjust the formatting in a later edition if the current size feels excessive.

There is still a lot being worked on behind the scenes, but six months in, the Church now has the library, Wiki, school, ongoing texts, and several other projects continuing to develop.

Thank you again to everyone who has been part of it so far.
