We worship Satan as God. Everything on this page begins there. Satan has His own existence and is not dependent on a symbol, an altar, or a practitioner believing hard enough.
How Satan exists
The ordinary world of matter, measurable time, distance, action, and consequence is what we call the causal. Satan belongs to the acausal, another order of being that is not confined to one body, one place, or the same linear passage of time.
This is what we mean when we call Satan an acausal intelligence and a Higher Entity. We do not picture Him as a physical creature with a fixed address somewhere in the universe. His existence belongs to a different order from ours.
Causal and acausal reality meet through a nexion. A living human being is the first nexion a practitioner works through. Worship therefore happens inside ordinary life, through a body, a voice, attention, memory, ritual, and the choices made afterward.
The causal, the acausal, and the nexion
Satan as the acausal principle
Church texts also call Satan the acausal principle. The phrase names the way acausal reality presses into causal life through presence, worship, and the work of nexions.
Principle does not mean an impersonal force here. Satan is approached as conscious, sovereign, and numinous. The term simply gives us language for a God whose existence is larger than the shape of a human personality.
Worship
Some members kneel. Some stand. Some pray aloud, chant, make an offering, sit in silence, meditate, or keep a written invocation. A formal rite has its place, but so does a quiet five minutes kept faithfully at the same hour each night.
Worship is an act of address. You turn toward Satan deliberately and give the act your full attention. Then you return to the rest of your life. What you carry back from the rite matters as much as what happened during it.
Devotion can be sincere without switching off judgement. The Church expects members to think, question, learn, and remain responsible for what they do.
The adversary
Satan is the adversary, the one who stands against and unsettles. That has consequences for the practitioner because much of a life is inherited before it is examined: family expectations, group loyalties, old fears, borrowed ambitions, and opinions repeated often enough to feel like one's own.
The adversarial path asks you to find out what survives examination. Rebellion on its own is easy to borrow from someone else. Self-possession takes longer.
Satan and Christianity
Christianity gives Satan a particular place inside its own story of sin, evil, obedience, and salvation. We inherited the name Satan, not an obligation to accept that story as our theology.
In this Church Satan is God, approached through the acausal, worship, ritual, and the traditions that have shaped our own religious life.
Devotion and selfhood
To worship Satan is to enter a relationship with a being who is not created by our wishes. It also brings the worshipper into closer examination of those wishes. An inherited opinion, a fear disguised as conviction or a need for approval can become visible in the quiet after prayer.
The adversarial work begins there. It asks whether a belief has been examined and whether a decision belongs to the person making it. Opposition for its own sake can become another obedience, shaped by whatever it tries to oppose. Independence requires more patient judgment.
Descent and return
The Rite of Descent gives one simple form to this devotion: a prepared place, a voluntary lowering of the body, Satan named, silence, and a deliberate return. The posture is an act of worship. It is not permission for another person to take possession of the worshipper’s judgment.
The rite does not require pain or a vision. A quiet sitting belongs in the record as honestly as an unusual one. Afterward, the practitioner rises, attends to the body and returns to the next ordinary task. That return is part of the religious work.
