JOINING OUR COMMUNITY
Our discord Community is where our group talks daily, sharing Satanic subject matter, work on and with the community such as perform ritual, share event updates and even share pictures of their beloved familiars! This and so much more. Once you're accepted into the discord, you are officially considered one of our members. Anyone outside of the discord is considered an Allie in most cases, but their are a few exceptions. If you align with the Satanic Temple's seven tenets, accept our left hand path is based around leftist liberal politics and you want to get involved in our community thenplease fill out the form below.
Once you're accepted into our Discord, please share your experiences, share Satanic knowledge, get involved, but most of all, learn and have fun! Remember, you get out what you put in. A Satanic individual is never limited by status. We may have Ministers, which is mostly a disguise or fancy name for admins, although it must be said that our Ministers are trained to never put themselves above the community, but to care for it instead. All of our Ministers have been provided with professional DBS checks revealing clean criminal records, submitted essays, and completed the Ministry course at TST's branch for minister training. We also go through a program where we have been tested on each subject, ensuring the information we provide is correct for our religion.
Though we have extensive knowledge, please know that no one in BAFOSatan is a mouthpiece of any Satanic organisation; we can only advise from our life experience, personal philosophy, and relationship to Satanism. Once this is complete, we gain access to knowledge which helps our community, and though our personalities may vary, we ultimately have the qualifications to guide our members within the religious framework.
You can approach our Ministers about all Satanic subject matter. Evidently, Satanism is individualistic, and you may receive varied information depending on the subject matter, but our admins and Ministers work together, and our rules and principles remain the same. Also know we always have the community’s best interest at heart. The Ministers and admins maintain our server, but remember, so do you! Once you have a piece of the BAFOSatan pentagram, remember to look after it; this is your space as well as others’. We don’t like to use hierarchy, but realize guidelines are important so they keep our members safe when practising their religion with TSTUK BAFOSatan.
We set questions to gain access to our Discord to protect our community from bigots and people who wish to cause us harm. You will be required to identify yourself with one of our admins. Your private information will not be shared outside of our Minister and Admin team. Please note we keep information for 30 days; we do not retain your information unless there is concern about your intentions within our community.
