The Ten Steps

Every magical ritual has its own purpose which is succeeded by performing some particular steps but before that the Satanist has to perform several more steps which are same in almost every ritual which are as follow:

1. Dress for the ritual.

2. Assemble devices for ritual; light candles and shut out all outside light sources; place parchments to right and left of the alter as indicated.

3. If a woman is used as the alter she now takes her position-head pointing south , feet pointing north.

4. Purification of air by ringing the bell.

5. “Invocation to Satan” and “Infernal Names” are now read aloud by the priest. Participants will repeat each Infernal Name after it has been said by the priest.

6. Drink from chalice.

7. Turning counter-clockwise, the priest points with the sword to each cardinal point of the compass and calls forth the respective Princes of Hell: Satan from the south, Lucifer from the east, Belial from the north and Leviathan from the west.

8. Perform benediction with the phallus (if one used).

9. Priest reads aloud appropriate invocation for respective ceremony : Lust, Compassion or Destruction .

10. In the case of a personalization ritual this step is extremely important. Solitude is compatible with the expressing of the most secret desires, and no attempt to “hold back” should be made in the acting out, verbalizing, or casting of images pertaining to your desires. It is at this step that your “blueprint” is drawn, wrapped, and sent off to the recipient of your working.
