THE
SATANIC RITUAL
C. DEVICES USED IN A SATANIC RITUAL
CLOTHING
Black robes are worn by the male participants. The robes may be cowled or hooded, and if
desired may cover the face. The purpose in covering the face is to allow the participant
freedom to express emotion in the face, without concern. It also lessens distraction on the part
of one participant towards another. Female participants wear garments which are sexually
suggestive; or all black clothing for older women. Amulets bearing the sigil of Baphomet or
the traditional pentagram of Satan are worn by all participants.
Robes are donned by men before entering the ritual chamber, and are worn throughout the
ritual. Men may substitute all black clothing for black robes.

Satanism is a religion of the flesh, rather than of the spirit; therefore, an altar of flesh is used
in Satanic ceremonies. The purpose of an altar is to serve as a focal point towards which all
attention is focused during a ceremony. A nude woman is used as the altar in Satanic rituals
because woman is the natural passive receptor, and represents the earth mother.
In some rituals nudity for the woman serving as altar may be impractical, so she may be
clothed or partially covered. If a female is performing the ritual alone, no woman need be
used for the altar. If no female is used for the altar, the elevated plane used for her to lie upon
may be used to hold other devices for the ritual. For large group rituals a trapezoidal altar
about 3 to 4 feet high and 5½ to 6 feet long can be specially constructed for the woman to lie
upon. If this is impractical, or in private ceremonies, any elevated plane may be used. If a
