How can I join?
Go to this page to apply for membership in our organization.
How many members are in this group?
We will not give a specific number for privacy reasons. However, we are growing every day and have members in several countries across the world.
Do I have to be a Satanist to join?
No. Whether or not you identify as a Satanist, you are welcome to join if you support equal representation and the right to bodily autonomy.
What are the benefits of joining?
Becoming a member gives you notifications about community events, protests, group rituals, and more. You also get to be a part of our growing community of Satanists and anti-fascist activists, who are working to learn about themselves and support the world around them.
Are there any age-restrictions?
You must be 13+ years old to join The Satanic Circle. However, some of our events may restrict teens from participating for safety reasons.
Who will know I am a member?
Your data is safe with us and Fourthwall (our web host,) as we refuse to share our member list, even with partnered organizations.
I want to sell my soul and sacrifice goats to Satan.
Look elsewhere, we do not engage in those practices.
Are you associated with the Satanic Temple or the Church of Satan?
No. Those are different Satanic organizations that we are not affiliated with.
How is Satanism different from Humanism?
Satanism is more self-focused and individualistic, prioritizing freedom, self-expression, liberation and self-satisfaction. We decide who we care about and respect, rather than respecting those who refuse to respect us in return. And while we believe Satanists should help their communities, we encourage our members to care for their physical and mental health before trying to help others.
My church supports this organization's missions. Can we work with you?
Absolutely. We need religious groups of all kinds to support our movement for religious equality and bodily autonomy. To reach out to us, send us an email at: tsc@thesataniccircle.org
IS SATANISM PRO-LGBTQ+?
Absolutely. Many of us and our loved ones are in the LGBTQ+ community and will fight against their oppression.
Why not just join The Satanic Temple?
The Satanic Temple has many allegations against their leadership, from their founder's alleged involvement with far-right figures, to allegedly forcing members into silence with NDAs. However, it is worth noting again that these are allegations that their leadership has denied.
Despite this, we personally believed there was enough to justify starting our own Satanic organization to demand equal representation and grow Satanic communities.
Are all Satanists vegan?
No. Veganism is a choice that some Satanists will choose, but most are not. Learn more about Satanic Veganism here.
MAY I OBTAIN RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS FOR VACCINES?
No. Order V demands you trust scientific experts and modern science, rather than distort it. You must get every expert-recommended vaccine, including following every necessary public health protocol.
MAY I OBTAIN RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS FOR CLOTHING/STYLE?
Absolutely. Satanists have the right to dye their hair, wear hoodies, get tattoos and wear Satanic necklaces as optional religious wear. Check out this page for more information.
IS SATANISM A PROTECTED RELIGION?
Yes. Satanists have won numerous legal battles against religious discrimination, as Satanism is officially recognized as a tax-exempt religion by the IRS.
WHAT IS "THEISTIC SATANISM?"
An uncommon form of Satanism that believes in a literal Satan, while still not engaging sacrifices or other Satanic stereotypes. However, we are a non-theistic movement, so we do not promote this form of Satanism, though we still allow theistic Satanists to join in our movement and community. After all, we do not own the religion of Satanism, so people can interpret the religion however they choose.
IS TSC A MEDIA STUNT?
No. We are an organization of Satanists with sincerely-held beliefs that have come together to demand equal representation and the right to bodily autonomy.
Does TSC endorse drug use?
Satanism promotes indulgence, not compulsion. Allowing dangerous drugs to addict you and destroy your body threatens your health and life. If a drug becomes an addiction, do not use it.
I am in the military. Will they recognize my religion of Satanism?
Legally, you can be recognized as a Satanist in the military. Satanic organizations have been recognized in the past and nowadays you are legally protected from religious discrimination. Though you may face pushback and discrimination from those around you for your religion.
Is hunting allowed in Satanism?
Depends. If you are hunting non-human animals in self-defense or to use for food or clothing, then it is allowed. However, if you treat hunting as a sport and leave corpses laying around, it is unethical and not allowed. You also cannot hunt endangered animals, regardless of intention.
