Greetings everyone,

There are some big changes coming to the Church.
One of the main ones is that we are going to expand beyond English. We are currently working on Arabic, Hebrew, French, and Spanish versions of the site and material.

I have been working on this quite a lot, together with a few other people who have been helping with translations and other parts of the site. A lot has already been done, but I am waiting until a few more texts are translated before making everything fully updated and pushing the larger changes live.

Since this is the first time we are expanding into several languages, part of the work also involves checking the translations carefully and fixing mistranslations, awkward wording, and other errors before everything is considered finished.

Anyone who wants to help translate Church texts is welcome to, in any language. You do not have to limit yourself to the languages we are already working on. I will personally be handling the translations of The Book of the Acausal Way and Principles of the Church, while other texts can also be worked on by members who want to help.
There are also more changes coming to the site, the library, and other parts of the Church once that is finished.

The Discord is also open to anyone who wants to join and speak with the community:

So there is quite a lot happening behind the scenes at the moment, and more will be announced once it is ready.

Greetings everyone,

A couple of small updates.

### New Library Theme

The Church library now has a new theme and layout. The main goal was to make it easier to browse and use, especially as more books and texts are added over time.

Things should now be a little clearer and easier to navigate.

### Website Downtime

The website was also down for a few hours earlier due to some changes and maintenance.

Everything should now be back online and working normally, so members can once again access the site and continue with their devotions.

Thank you for your patience while everything was being worked on.

Greetings everyone,

A small update has been made to The Book of the Acausal Way.

There are no major changes to the text, but I have added a number of illustrations throughout the book. I drew most of them myself, although I am very bad at drawing by hand, so for some of the simpler ones I used basic shapes instead, such as the candle illustration.

The changes are mostly visual and are meant to make the book a little easier and more interesting to read without changing the content itself.

I am still not completely happy with most of the illustrations, though, so I will probably keep working on them and replacing or improving some of them soon.

Greetings everyone,

I have been working on some of the first material intended for the Diale Lodge, and before I go much further with it, I would like to get some opinions from members.

I am still not completely sure whether this is the direction the Lodge should take, so if anyone would like to have an early look at the material and give me some honest feedback, let me know.

The current material goes further into subjects such as devotional practice, mystical experience and discernment, black alchemy, ritual construction, symbolism, personal transformation, and practical exercises. It is meant to be more advanced and structured than the general material of the Church.

Nothing in it should be considered final yet. Parts may be rewritten, expanded, removed, or taken in a completely different direction depending on how the Lodge develops.

What I am mainly interested in knowing is whether this feels like the kind of material you would expect or want from the Diale Lodge, or whether you think the Lodge should focus on something different.

Anyone is welcome to ask for access and have a look. If you prefer, you can request it by email or through the Church contact form rather than asking publicly.

If anyone wants to be one of the first to read through it, let me know.

Greetings everyone,

Today marks six months since the High Satanic Church was founded.

It is still strange to think that half a year has already passed. A lot has changed in that time, and there is still a great deal I want to build, write, and improve. Thank you to everyone who has joined, contributed, shared feedback, or simply spent time reading and participating.

### The School Is Now Open

The first version of the Church school is now open.

There is not a huge amount of content there yet, as this is only the first release, but I wanted to get it online so members can begin using it while I continue developing it.

I plan to add much more material over time, including written lessons and, especially, videos. I have already started working on one of the first videos, although progress was interrupted after I managed to cut my finger while cutting wood to make a doll for a future text I was also filming material for.

So there will be more coming once my hand is a little more cooperative.

### Upcoming Meditation Book

I am also currently working on a new book focused on meditation. It is not fully finished yet, but it is progressing well and I plan to release it once the remaining sections are complete.

One thing I would like some feedback on when I release it is the text size and overall length. I originally copied the formatting and text size used in *The Book of the Acausal Way*, but after doing that, a manuscript that would normally have been under 50 pages ended up at around 168 pages.

That is obviously quite a difference.

Once the book is released, if members feel that the text is too large or that it would be easier to read in a more compact format, please let me know. I can always adjust the formatting in a later edition if the current size feels excessive.

There is still a lot being worked on behind the scenes, but six months in, the Church now has the library, Wiki, school, ongoing texts, and several other projects continuing to develop.

Thank you again to everyone who has been part of it so far.

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.

The Satanic Church HSC – J. Berwart

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.
