Welcome, New York City Satanists, Luciferians, & LHPers!

Informal gatherings in Manhattan (in New York City, NY), and sometimes in Queens,, for Satanists, Luciferians, "Dark" Pagans, and "Left Hand Path" occultists of all law-abiding kinds, theistic or nontheistic, plus open-minded people interested in learning about the various forms of Satanism, Luciferianism, "Dark" Paganism, and LHP occultism.

At some point we may begin (again) holding private meetings as well as open meetings (as we did briefly in summer 2009). To become eligible to be considered for full active membership and thus be welcome at private meetings, a person must either (1) attend three of our open meetings or (2) be recommended by at least two of our members who have gotten to know the person outside of meetings.

Note that active membership, as defined above, is not the same thing as membership in this Meetup group. Anyone may join this Meetup group. All who wish to attend our open meetings should join this Meetup group and RSVP for the meetings.

The organizer, Diane Vera, is a non-LaVeyan theistic ("traditional") Satanist. She has a website on Theistic Satanism (http://theisticsatanism.com/) including a page for theistic Satanists in or near New York City (http://theisticsatanism.com/nyc/), and aims also to build a New York City proto-congregation ( http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/local/nyc.html ) of the Church of Azazel (http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/). However, this Meetup group (NYC Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and LHP Occultists) is NOT just for prospective Church of Azazel members, but aims to welcome all kinds of Satanists, Luciferians, dark Pagans, and Left Hand Path occultists on an equal basis.

Our calendar lists not only our own meetings, but also some other events likely to be of interest to our members. If our next meeting is more than a week or two in the future, please scroll down below "Our next Meetup" to "More upcoming Meetups," where there will probably be notes about upcoming events that are scheduled sooner than our own next meeting.
