Church of Satan: Membership Information

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. See our Satanism section 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 $100 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 $100.00 in U.S. funds.

Send this to: Church of Satan, Post Office Box 210666,
