1. The Ancestors of our Dark Craft should always be remembered, for they guide and protect us from the Shadows. What this means from the Brotherhood perspective is this: We are reminded to remember and to pay proper respect to those whom lived and died for the Brotherhood throughout the centuries knowing fully that their Spirits and Souls are with us guiding us with their Wisdom and Experience and reaching out to us from the Darkness of the otherside to protect us by our understanding of the strengths of our Ancestors and using this in our every day present lives. Thus has the Brotherhood always honored it members both live and dead. The Brotherhood honors its Ancestors and this is our first Law. 2. Always honor and respect another of the Brotherhood, regardless of rank or knowledge, or gender. For we are the true daughters and sons of Satan's Family together and united in the Darkness. What this means from the Brotherhood perspective is this: The true Brotherhood is taught that we must honor and respect all individual Satanists for who they are and what they know. In the Brotherhood we are taught by example from our leadership that we stand on the level with all other Brotherhood Satanists that have entered the Brotherhood in order to better serve the Master and for kin-ship with other like minded Satanists. The Brotherhood advances both the Female Satanist and the Male Satanist and advancement is strictly in the hands of the Brotherhood Initiate. The Brotherhood, by our own blood binds us together always as a Family Unit. When we say that we stand united in the Darkness we mean that the Brotherhood is sometimes so secretive that most of society never knows who we are or what we are doing. Our influence is behind the scenes as are our actions as they are not meant for the Profane but rather the Initiate. The Brotherhood in it truest aspect is a Family of Satanic Initiates. The true Brotherhood Initiate of Satanas gains knowledge and power at their own pace and when ready, and thereby does not have reason to disagree with another Brotherhood member being fully content and confident of their own knowledge and power and standing individually PROUD to be a Satanist and One of the Brotherhood. Disagree only with honor and respect. 3. Always honor the Old Ways of our Dark Craft by observing the 4 Black Sabbats. What this means from the Brotherhood Perspective is this: By LIVING the Craft of Satanism in our everyday lives we are honoring the old ways of the Brotherhood. We must observe the 4 Black Sabbats with the Rites and Customs associated with them. By honoring the Brotherhood old ways we honor ourselves. Our honoring of Brotherhood Traditions is why the Brotherhood has been in existence since the remotest of times and our Ancient Landmarks stand withstanding time across the Earth. 4. Attend the Traditional Satanic Black Mass once a year to have communion with Satanas and His Demons. What this means from the Brotherhood perspective is this: The Satanic Mass is a central Rite of the Brotherhood and Satanism. A true Satanist would by their very nature want to attend at least one a year. Usually the more dedicated the Satanist the more apt they are to be active in both their performance in and attendance at Satanic Rituals. The reason that the Brotherhood favors this is because it firmly believes that when we make the actual act of communion with the Master that he remains with us and gives and brings to us the aid and protection of His Demons. The Brotherhood uses more than one version of the Satanic Mass but does have its own exclusive version as well and its High Clergy may also adapt or add more Magickal elements to this Mass if they so desire to do so. For those members that are not near a Magistry to attend the Mass, we have provided a version for you to listen to at least once a year and we will work on recording the Brotherhood Black Chapel Version and including it in our Satanic Mass section of the Brotherhood of Satan Forum Online. 5. Sign the Blood Covenant of Satanas to show your true dedication to Satanas and the Brotherhood. What this means from the Brotherhood perspective is this: In the Family Generational and Traditional forms of Satanism there has always been a blood test and oath which was binding and proved the worth of the Disciple that has taken the step to show their dedication. Once this step is taken by the Disciple they then are upon the Path of Initiate of Satanas and they are then beginning their Brotherhood Path toward learning, wisdom, and power, as it has always been with the Brotherhood Teachings. 6. Membership in the Brotherhood is for life unless you are expelled and stripped of your office or title by the Satanic Illuminati Council for abuse or misuse of your honored status in the Brotherhood. What this means from the Brotherhood perspective is this: When a Brotherhood member moves from the level of Disciple or member-at-large, and makes their Covenant with the Master they sign their oath in their own blood which is the life-force and thus by blood do we show that we are members that are DEDICATED TO SATANAS AND THE BROTHERHOOD FOR LIFE AND THIS IS A BINDING PLEDGE WE HAVE MADE. To be expelled and stripped of your office or title by the Satanic Illuminati Council you would have had to have done a action against another Brotherhood member of a unprovoked nature or brought upon the Brotherhood a negative Public image. 7. Always support the concepts of Satanic Unity and Satanic Brotherhood realizing that we must be strong and united in our ideals against those without. What this means from the Brotherhood perspective is this: While we will always stand in power as a individual Satanist, we stand with even more personal power by our support of Unity and Brotherhood between all Satanists. Then we no longer stand alone as a easy target but instead will stand in strength with total support of the Brotherhood. By the use of mutual respect Unity will be achieved for the Satanists smart enough to stand as a Brotherhood Satanist against those without WITH THEIR SISTERS AND BROTHERS OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF SATAN STANDING BY THEIR SIDE ALL OF THE WAY IN FULL SUPPORT. Know that this CAN BE the Power that the Brotherhood can wield against those without that come against us. 8. Always keep secret that which is entrusted to you to know and to understand by the Brotherhood and its members. What this means from the Brotherhood perspective is this: DO NOT PASS ON WHAT YOU LEARN AS A BROTHERHOOD MEMBER EITHER FROM THE CLERGY OF SATANAS NOR ANY MEMBER SHARING THEIR KNOWLEDGE WITH YOU. We are the BROTHERHOOD because we keep our secrets to ourselves. Only as a Brotherhood Satanist will you ever be able to know them and share them with worthy Sisters and Brothers that are Satanists of Intelligence, Knowledge, and REAL Satanic Power. Bear in mind also that one of the 4 cornerstones of the Black Witches Pyramid is after all.............SECRECY!!!!! 9. Guard the Mysteries of Satanas well, but reveal them to those that deserve them. What this means from the Brotherhood perspective is this: DO NOT SPEAK OF THE WORK OR THE RITUALS OF THE BROTHERHOOD UNLESS SPEAKING WITH ANOTHER BROTHERHOOD MEMBER. Always remember as well that a Brotherhood member that has earned your respect by their logical thinking and actions and is at the same level of knowledge as you or even a lower level of knowledge does deserve the Mysteries of Satanas to be revealed to them even if they progress in their knowledge in a much slower manner. The Secrecy of the Brotherhood has always been part of its protection, and is also why the Brotherhood has survived the Burning and Hanging Times. 10. Always honor yourself first because you as a member of the Brotherhood are so honored as such. What this means from the Brotherhood perspective is this: As known, the Brotherhood has always stood for the Individual Satanist first. We seek to take great Satanists and to help them become even greater and this is one of our most important of goals. By becoming a member of the Brotherhood you stand as a Individual Satanist of Power which to us has always been knowledge. Honor always the Master Satanas first, your SELF second, and the Brotherhood third. The true Brotherhood Satanist knows with conviction that by serving the Master we are truly then serving ourselves. Brotherhood Satanists will ALWAYS stand out as those Satanists that command and receive respect from others and are indeed so honored as such for their lifetime and through Eternity. 11. Be an Active part of the Brotherhood, for we have always been those that know and those that do. What this means from the Brotherhood perspective is this: The Brotherhood has been around for thousands of years because we as its members have always been Active and are Practitioners of Satanism and the Black Arts. Our very deeds and the deeds of our Brotherhood Dark Ancestors are WHAT has made the name The Brotherhood Immortal to this day as it shall always remain in legend and history itself. The Brotherhood takes its Traditions very serious and we only want the truly dedicated of Satanists as members. Remember Wisely that the Satanist that takes NO ACTION will be known by their inaction while those that honor themselves by their deeds as well as their words by action, will also be known for their own Personal Power and Satanic Wisdom. Practical experience is always the very best of teachers and this is the Brotherhood Way. Practical Experience is only gained by being one of those that KNOW and Do. There is NO OTHER WAY to BECOME A SATANIC MASTER that can create their own Destiny. 12. Do not keep wisdom from others in the Brotherhood but instead always strive to share your Wisdom and Knowledge. What this means from the Brotherhood perspective is this: Those that have proven their worth as a Brotherhood member BY THEIR ACTIONS should be able to learn the Mysteries of the Brotherhood as is their Satanic given rightful inheritance and as Brotherhood members we are instructed to share our Satanic Knowledge always to those that deserve to learn and understand Brotherhood Satanism. As true members of the Brotherhood we have ALWAYS been known as the Custodians and the KEEPERS OF THE MYSTERIES. To do this we must KNOW the Mysteries and to whom they should rightfully be entrusted to. 13. Remember always that Knowledge is Power and Knowledge used with Wisdom is what makes us all great. For we are the BROTHERHOOD, and our names and words are written in the Book of Satanas and we are Immortal. What this means from the Brotherhood perspective is this: If we continue as we have done throughout the Ages, in the use of our Satanic Knowledge tempered with Wisdom, all of us here in the present Brotherhood incarnation will only CONTINUE to make ourselves both individually and as a organization, Immortal. The rest is up to us. Eat from the very old Brotherhood Tree of Knowledge to really UNDERSTAND.
