Our Manifesto
If Satanism is based on freedom, then to codify it would be ludicrous.
The Sinagogue of Satan was founded on 1-29-99. A religion based on the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Free Masonry’s definition of Satanism, as described in the above paragraph taken from Albert Pike’s work Morals and Dogma. This paragraph was plagiarized from Eliphas Levi’s History of Magic published in 1860. Please note that Lucifer is mentioned as a falsehood, so this paragraph has nothing to do with the Taxil Scandal and Leo Taxil was six years old when it was written. Also notice this sentence: “For the Initiates, this is not a person, but a force, created for good, but which may serve for evil”. For the “Initiates”, more than apparently people were initiated into this belief system and now continue to do so through the Sinagogue of Satan. This religion is not based on any other works except for Aleister Crowley’s. His connection with the Freemasons and the fact we took our name from a short story in his book “Konx om Pax”, called “Thien Tao; or, The Synagogue of Satan” cannot be denied. Nor can we deny being a by-product of Thelema. Sinagogue, spelt Sin as opposed to Syn is intentional, we are Sinners not Jews, although some of our members may be both. The Sinagogue possesses its own “Holy Book” but its members are not required to read or accept it. The only members that are required to read and accept it are members interested in priesthood and/or ambassador positions.
