| Affiliation with the Church of Satan |
We were established in 1966 c.e. by Anton Szandor LaVey, who declared the Year One - Anno Satanas, thus opening the floodgates to a revolution designed to smash the hypocrisy and unreason which has reigned for the past 2000 years. We have, since 1966, stood as the most formidable threat to those who would halt progress in the name of spirituality. We are explorers on the untrodden paths of science, human motivation and mystery - all that is most truly occult.
Those who proudly carry our cards identifying themselves as members have the strength and dedication to implement the tools of Satan, the imagination to confound and confuse, the wisdom to recognize the Unseen in our society, and the passions of a classical Romantic soul.
We don't solicit memberships; however, if you wish to join us, to show your support or appreciation, you can become a Registered Member. For a one-time registration fee of one hundred dollars in United States currency, you will receive an impressively-embossed crimson card declaring you a member of the Church of Satan. No further dues will be expected. There are no further obligations. There are no age requirements.
If you represent yourself as affiliated with the Church of Satan, you are legally required to register with us as a member.
If you wish to take a more active role in the Church of Satan, we require that you become an Active Member. This requires that you are of at least 18 years of age, and that you fill out an Active membership Application, indicating your more serious interest in our organization. By completing and returning it (by snail-mail - we'll let you know when e-mail applications will be accepted), you will be included in our Bulletin List (the mailing schedule for this is "as needed") so you can receive announcements pertinent to your affiliation. Your file will also be reviewed for further involvement; we have Grottos/affiliates/special interest groups of all persuasions who are working on many fronts toward the fulfillment of our Satanic destiny.
If you have not already done so, we strongly suggest you purchase The Satanic Bible, and study it. It is a diabolical book, the basis for our philosophy. There is currently a great deal of literature available by our founder as well as other Satanic pioneers. Check out the links to your left for additional information.
Satanism is not for everyone, but if it is for you, we welcome you. We are not a fan club, a pen-pal society, or a lonely hearts group. We are a group of dynamic individuals who stand forth as the ultimate underground alternative - the Alien Elite. We realize what we have, what we are, and what we shall become. Our scope is unlimited, and the extent of your involvement is based upon your own potential. All names and addresses are held in strict confidence and you are under no obligation as a Registered Member, unless you choose to present yourself for further consideration.
For registration: please send us $200 in U.S. funds (in check, money order, bank draught, or International Money Order drawn on a U.S. bank) along with your legal name and complete mailing address, plus the following statement, signed and dated by yourself:
Please enroll me as a Registered Member of The Church of Satan.
Enclosed is $200.00 in U.S. funds.
