“Seven Sigils” Ritual

Items needed:

Eight pieces of parchment / paper

Quill or Pen

Ink (or ritual blood)

Seven candles

Ritual Bell

Incense and burner

Ritual wine / Choice drink

Your favorite ritual music playlist


*Gather members into a circle, or if online, into each member’s ritual space.*


*If alone, create a circle using your Seven Sigil candle. Enter the circle with all supplies needed for the Ritual.*

*Ring the bell. As the tone fades, the officiant will read the Invocation*


Officiant/Individual:

“Let us stand now, unbowed and unfettered by arcane doctrines born of fearful minds in darkened times. Let us embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat of the Tree of Knowledge and dissipate our blissful and comforting delusions of old. Let us demand that individuals be judged for their concrete actions, not their fealty to arbitrary social norms and illusory categorizations. Let us reason our solutions with agnosticism in all things, holding fast only to that which is demonstrably true. Let us stand firm against any and all arbitrary authority that threatens the personal sovereignty of One or All. That which will not bend must break, and that which can be destroyed by truth should never be spared its demise. It is Done. Hail Satan.”

Participant:

It is done, HAIL SATAN!

Officiant/Individual: 

Come now, let us fulfill our senses and desires! Our bodies and minds are our own. We walk a path of our own choosing. Let no person stand in our way. Reason in all things!

*participants all light incense, start music and sip their ritual drink*


Reading of The Seven Tenets

Officiant/Individual:

The Seven Tenets are fundamental guidelines by which we aspire to live. We challenge ourselves to live deliciously and to do so within reason. Let us now recite the Seven Tenets with reasoned minds in darkened times: 

*participants will go around the circle taking turns until each Tenet is read*

*The bell will be rung after each Tenet*

I

One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II

The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III

One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV

The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

V

Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

VI

People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII

Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.


Officiant/Individual:

Sigils are personal and can be drawn to create special connections with objects or phrases. Now we shall draw our own special connections to the Seven Tenets. Each Sigil can be created in a way that is personal to you. (I recommend using a VVitch’s Ritual wheel)

If you like, you may also recreate these simple interpretations.

Aria’s “Seven Sigils”

Participant/Individual will: 

*Create a Sigil for each Tenet. Recite the Tenet aloud and light a candle. Place the candle atop your Sigil.*

*Everytime a participant finishes a Sigil, ring the bell as they light their Sigil candle*


After Sigils are Complete

Officiant/Individual:

With these Sigils we have drawn special power to each Tenet in our own heart. Let them empower you and guide you throughout your week / life. No power is stronger than our own. We will continue life in Compassion, Justice, Reason, Responsibility, Science, Autonomy and Freedom! HAIL SATAN! NON SERVIAM!

Participant:

Hail Satan! Hail Thyself!

NON SERVIAM!

*Ring bell three times*

*Extinguish all candles and incense, end music*

*clean ritual space, saving your Seven Sigils*

It is done.

**I do not speak for TST, though I am a member of TST Houston. I urge all Satanists to create your own “Seven Sigils” as you learn more about TST’s religious beliefs and make them your own.
