Church of Azazel -- a budding new form of theistic Satanism / Luciferianism with a polytheistic theology, incorporating some aspects of modern Paganism, plus a strong opposition to the religious right wing. For details, see the Church of Azazel website:

Most meetings of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation, including our rituals, will be private, NOT announced on our Meetup site. The meetings announced here are our public meetings at which we get to know prospective members and answer questions about the Church of Azazel paradigm.

If you have not done so already, we would appreciate it very much if you could RSVP for our next Church of Azazel open meeting as soon as possible. Please RSVP with a "maybe" if you don't know your plans yet. If you RSVP "maybe," then, a few days before the event, please change your "maybe" to a "yes" or a "no" so we'll have a better idea how big a table to reserve.

In addition to our own open meetings, we ask that prospective members of the Church of Azazel also attend meetings of the following two groups, which meet more often than our own open meetings:

1) NYC Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and LHP occultists:

2) Those meetings of New Yorkers Against Religion-Based Bigotry that are on topics relevant to Satanists, Luciferians, Pagans, and occultists:

Note that the above two groups are NOT just for Church of Azazel members and prospective members, but are, nevertheless, an important part of our preferred way of getting to know prospective members of the Church of Azazel.

If the next open meeting of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation is more than a week or two in the future, please scroll down below "Our next Meetup" to "More upcoming Meetups," where there will likely be notes about upcoming events (held by the other two groups) that are scheduled sooner than our own next open meeting.

If you're interested in joining us, it would be nice if you could also fill out your profile here on this group's Meetup site, as a further way of introducing yourself to us.
