Is the Brotherhood of Satan (BOS) just a website or egroup?
No! The BOS is first and foremost an offline organization, which was chartered as a new semi-public portion of a much older secret society simply called the brotherhood. We leverage and utilize today's internet technologies to connect and network with our members, other Satanists and Left Hand Path Occultists from around the world. We have regularly scheduled Gatherings, Rituals, Meetings held throughout the country for our Members. We also hold several annual major Festivals which we cordially invite non-members to attend.

What is the BOS perspective on sacrifice of animals and children?
The BOS does not condone animal or human sacrifice, many of our members are animal and human rights activists and some are even advocates for children and adults. We acknowledge in traditional Satanism sacrifice exists, however today that sacrifice consists of a few drops of your own blood if you choose to make a covenant with Satanas and the BOS.

Why does the BOS charge a $66.60 one time lifetime registration fee?
There are actually several reasons for this fee:
1). The BOS as a real offline Satanic organization does have real offline expenses to continue the existance and growth of the organization.
2). This fee helps to seperate the serious seeker from the curious.
3). The price was chosen to be at such a low reasonable, and Satanic rate as we did not want to exclude anyone from membership. Due to these times of economic challenges it was set so anyone could come up with the funds within a short period of time if it was their will to do so. The value received over a lifetime of membership is easily one hundred times what we charge.

What is a real Satanist?
A real Satanist, is a person whom is a Satanist who follows their own free will, and respects others to allow them to follow their own free will. We as Brotherhood Satanist believe it is Satan's will that we each have the free will to make our own informed decisions as responsible human beings.

What is the BOS perspective on "the devil made me do it!"
This is complete and utter nonsense! Satan empowers people to follow their own free will and does not force anyone to do anything. It is our suggestion that people who make this claim, should seriously seek mental health assistance from professionals and learn about self accountability!

Does the BOS recruit new members?
Because we believe someone must follow their own free will, we do not try to convince, convert or coerce anyone to join or do anything that is against their own free will! If people wish to learn about the BOS all they need do is ask.

Does the BOS bestow titles upon people, willy nilly?
While the BOS does bestow titles upon members, however as all our clergy can all attest to, this is only after dedicated studies, proven testing and being found worthy over an extended period of time. This is in keeping with the ancient Brotherhoods traditions and landmarks.

-
Is Satanism an inversion of christianity?
This is an often asked question, the answer is simply no. The reason being is that the Brotherhood aswell as other Demonic cultures, cults, and pagan cultures existed long before xtianity existed. We had our beliefs prior to the first formation of the christian church, hence we have no need to change or invert them. We do not even acknowledge the christian church, faith or bible except for the atrocities they have committed against mankind.

Does the BOS view Satan as an entity or an archetype or energy?
The BOS is a Generational, Traditional, Theistic Satanic Organization, as such we do believe Satan is an entity, as taught to us by our ancestors. We however feel it is ones Satanic right to believe in Satan however they wish as a member at large.
