Our Structure
Equal Before The Devil
The Devil's Beloved is a non-hierarchical & egalitarian Spiritual Community with a fairly open structure. We are all equally Celebrants & Witches.
We reject titles associated with hierarchies & initiatory grades, such as High Priestess, High Priest, Imperator, Imperatrix, Praemonstrator, Praemonstratrix, Cancellarius, Cancellaria, Hierophant, Ipsissimus, Ipsissima, Magus, Sovereign Grand Inspector General, Magister, & Magistra.
If you hold a title in another group, or have received an initiation or ordination elsewhere, we ask that you leave it outside our Convocation. Wear a mask like everyone else, & in our space, refuse to see yourself above or below anyone else.
Our Administrators are elected through a democratic process. Their role is to facilitate safety: they review applications, decide who is admitted, & decide when someone needs to leave. Their identities are not shared in our Convocations. In our Black Masses, they are not above or below any Celebrant, & they worship The Devil as Celebrants like everyone else.
The speaking parts of every Convocation are read or recited by volunteers, & anyone who attends may volunteer to read or recite. The Leading Celebrant named in our Order of Service is not a position of authority: any Celebrant may volunteer to lead any Black Mass.
During the Personal Testimony, when the floor is open, any Celebrant may speak about other spiritual communities they belong to or lead, including those where they hold titles & rank. During our Convocations, we are all equal in every way.
We deeply & profoundly respect everyone who comes to worship The Devil, including those who are also part of other religions.
Our Statement Against Discrimination & Violence
The only Leaders above anyone in The Devil's Beloved are The Devil Himself, His Consort Lilith, & the Demons & Gods we call upon in our Black Masses.
