Greetings everyone,

A few updates regarding the website and library.

Library Update

The books that were temporarily taken down for updates will begin returning to the library from today through September 25th.

Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to finish updating all of them as quickly as I originally planned. The ones I had already started working on are in good shape and will be coming back first, while I continue finishing the remaining texts over the next couple of weeks.

So if the library still looks a little smaller than usual, don't worry—the missing books are gradually coming back.

The Night-Work of the Acausal

The complete edition of The Night-Work of the Acausal is now officially out.

It contains the full fifteen-volume Night-Work and brings together the practical material we have been developing into one complete edition.

You can find it here:

Password Reset

I have also added a new password reset feature directly to the login page.

If you forget your password, you should now be able to reset it yourself instead of having to contact us and wait for it to be changed manually.

As always, if you find any problems with the website, library, Wiki, or the new password reset system, feel free to let me know.

Greetings everyone,

We have now opened the High Satanic Church Wiki in beta:

https://wiki.thesatanicchurch.org/

The wiki is still at an early stage, but it is ready for people to start using and contributing to it.

The project is intended to grow beyond being just a church resource. The goal is to build a useful reference for the wider theistic Satanist community, where information about demons, traditions, rituals, history, organizations, texts, symbolism, and other related subjects can be collected in a clear and accessible way.

Anyone with access to contribute is welcome to help expand it. If there is a subject you know well and you notice that it is missing, you are encouraged to create a page for it or improve an existing one.

Because the wiki is still new, there are many areas that have not yet been covered, and the structure itself will continue to develop as more people begin using it. Feedback on the site, its organization, and the way articles are presented is also welcome.

If you know others who may be interested in reading, contributing, or helping the project grow, feel free to share the wiki with them as well.

This is only the beginning, but with enough contributions it has the potential to become a valuable resource for the wider theistic Satanist community.

Greetings everyone,

The Church wiki is now online in b,eta for anyone who would like to test it:

https://wiki.thesatanicchurch.org/

Anyone with a Church account can create and edit articles. If you would like to write about a demon, an event, an organization, a ritual, a historical topic, or anything else related to Satanism, you are free to contribute.

Please keep in mind that the wiki is still very much in beta. I have only been spending some time working on it for about a month, and until about a week ago it was originally intended to be more of an archive page for the Church rather than a full wiki.

I only recently decided to turn it into a proper community wiki, and yesterday I asked for everyone's opinion first to make sure there was interest in the idea.

Library Update

I am also almost finished updating the texts in the Church library. Most of the work is now complete, and I am currently going through the remaining material and making final updates.

Once that is finished, the library should be much more complete and easier to use alongside the new wiki.

So at this stage, expect things to change, improve, and expand over time. If you notice any issues, have ideas for improvements, or simply want to start contributing articles, feel free to do so.

Greetings everyone,

I have been thinking about adding a wiki section to the church website, and we would really like to hear what the community thinks about the idea.

The wiki would be a shared place where members could easily find information about dark gods and other entities, rituals and practices, terminology, teachings, symbols, and other subjects connected to the church.

The goal would be to make our knowledge easier to explore and give both newer and longtime members a useful reference point.

Would this be something you would use? And what topics or sections would you personally like to see included?

I also wanted to give a small update regarding the Diale Lodge. Work on it is still progressing and the project continues to move forward. There is still work to be done before everything is ready, but development has not stopped, and I will share more information with everyone as things advance.

Feel free to share any ideas or suggestions regarding both the wiki and the Diale Lodge. Your input is always useful as we continue developing the church and its resources.

Greetings everyone,

A few of our books are currently unavailable for download in the Library while we update and revise them to better align with our newer text and document styles.

We are working to make these editions more consistent, polished, and easier to read. Most of the updated books are expected to be released around the Church’s six-month anniversary.

Thank you for your patience while these updates are being completed.

Greetings everyone,

I accidentally left the Diale Lodge website online before it was ready.

Please note that the Lodge is still under development and we are not accepting members at this time. If you happened to come across the website, please disregard the membership options for now.

Sorry for the confusion, and I’ll make an announcement when the Lodge is actually ready to accept members.

Greetings, everyone,

I’m nearly finished with a new book for the Church. It is a substantial work made up of 15 volumes, and I have been giving some thought to the best way to release a physical edition.

At the moment, I’m leaning toward producing one complete book containing all 15 volumes.

The main reason is that the volumes vary quite a bit in length. Volumes 1-5 are relatively short, volumes 6-10 are considerably larger, and volumes 11-15 are larger still. If I were to divide the work into three separate books, the physical editions would not necessarily be similar in size or price.

A single complete edition would also mean that members receive the entire work at once, rather than needing to purchase three separate books over time.

Of course, the total page count would make the physical copy more expensive. However, it would still be one purchase for the full 15-volume work.

Before I make a final decision, I would really like to hear your thoughts. Would you prefer one complete book with all 15 volumes, even at a higher price, or would you rather see it divided into three smaller books?

I also want to mention that I have begun working on the meditation book and related material that Chris suggested in the Book Ideas forum. It is still in the early stages, and there is a great deal left to do with the writing, formatting, and overall styling.

For anyone especially interested in following its development, feel free to ask and I can send you the current PDF. Please keep in mind that it is very much a work in progress and will likely change significantly before the final release.

When it is finished, I will most likely make it available to Causalem members first, followed by Neophytes a few days later.

As always, if there are other book ideas or subjects you would like to see covered, please share them in the forum. I am always interested in hearing what members would genuinely like more material on.

Greetings everyone,

Today officially marks the 5th month anniversary of the High Satanic Church.

I also wanted to give an update regarding the book about Set that I’ve been working on. After spending a lot of time on it, I’ve decided not to publish it.

The more I worked on it, the more I felt that releasing such a large text would take the Church too far away from Satan and towards something that could become too pagan in character. While Setian ideas can be interesting and useful to study, I don't want them to become so prominent that the Church loses sight of its own Satanic identity. Satan should remain at the centre of what we are building.

I also learned something from working on that book: making very large texts takes an enormous amount of time. I spent months working on it, and during that time it meant that other material wasn't being released.

Because of that, I’m going to start focusing more on smaller texts and books. They’ll be much easier to complete, easier for members to study, and will allow me to release new material regularly instead of spending months working on one massive project.

In fact, members can expect several smaller books and texts to be uploaded soon. I've spent a good part of the past month working on them—probably more time than I should have, including many very late nights—so there is quite a bit of material coming.

This doesn't mean Setian ideas are being completely ignored. They can still be studied and discussed, but I don't want them to become the direction of the Church itself.

Five months in, we're still very much building this Church and figuring out what works. I think this change will help us keep developing without losing sight of what the High Satanic Church is supposed to be.

Thank you to everyone who has been here during these first five months.

Greetings everyone,

I’ve made a few updates to the forum and wanted to let everyone know about them.

Replies to forum posts can now send email notifications, so you can be alerted when someone responds to your posts. You can also mention other members, and they’ll receive an email notification when they’re mentioned.

I’ve also added some new customization and media features, including background images, new GIFs, images, and videos that can be used in posts.

There are still more things I’d like to improve and add to the forum over time, but I hope these updates make it a little more enjoyable and easier to use.

Greetings everyone,

I believe the book has now been approved by Amazon!

So, if anyone would like a physical copy of The Book of the Acausal Way, it is now available on Amazon:

This is the first of the Church's books to be made available in physical form, so I’m glad to finally be able to offer it to anyone who would like a copy.
