For a Pagan, the transition may feel less like discovering religion for the first time and more like changing the center of an existing spiritual life.
Read Writing →Yes, but leaving one religion and adopting another is more than changing labels. There is no reason to rush it, hide uncertainty, or sever relationships to prove seriousness.
Read Writing →Yes, but the theological change is substantial. Anyone considering it should be able to explore privately and safely, without pressure from this Church or anyone else.
Read Writing →Moving from atheism to theistic Satanism is not adopting a darker aesthetic. It means changing your mind about whether any spiritual being exists at all.
Read Writing →Theistic Satanism is the belief that Satan exists as a real, living deity, worshipped in a religious way. This is different from Satanism as approached by the Church of Satan or The Satanic Temple, which treat Satan as a symbol or literary figure rather than a deity.
The Church of Satan, founded by Anton LaVey in 1966, takes an atheistic approach — Satan is a symbol of individualism, not a deity. The High Satanic Church is theistic: we worship Satan as a living deity. We are independent and not affiliated with the Church of Satan.
No. The Satanic Temple is an atheistic political-activism organisation that uses Satanic imagery. The High Satanic Church is an independent theistic congregation. We have no connection to The Satanic Temple.
