An initiation covenant for our zoom meetings
As part of this group (and I may already have missed this as I'm new) is there a rite of initiation? I have outlined A Theistic Satanic Initiation Rite of Personal Covenant as an example below. I'd appreciate feedback positive or negative.
I feel it takes courage to do this but also allows one to give serious consideration as to what he is about, emphasizing the signing of the covenant as a sacred act of commitment.
Preparation (Before the Ritual Begins)
Each initiate must have:
A written covenant: A personal declaration of their chosen path and commitment to Satan.
A candle (black or red): Representing the flame of transformation.
Hail Brother Notlim666!
I agree with the comments below. I also think your rite is VERY well written out.
I must also point out that the ZOOM Discussion group is an open group and not a covenanted group. We do get newbies and the curious who are not committed Satanists who come in with their - valid - questions (all questions are valid).
Also, not all Satanists are Theistic Satanists or are ritually oriented. Many are more free form or might even be Atheistic. All of that is ok, as long as it is true to the individual Satanist.
Still, I really LOVE this rite that you wrote. I am with you in that I would LOVE to be part of a covenanted group of Gay Male Satanic Brothers that get into rites like this one. I have been trying to pull something like that together for years. I have been more successful at times.
So, to anyone reading the above rite: if it works for you, great...if it does not and you feel some other Satanic calling: listen to that.
