Satanic Wedding

The ritual should be performed during a waxing moon. The moon should be in a favorable sign for marriage.

The Moon in Taurus gives permanence, but can be difficult if the couple wishes to part later on.

With the Moon in Cancer, couples are more likely to get back together after a split.

Moon in Leo is favorable for romance and adds optimism to any union.

Moon in Libra is ideal for any wedding as this is the natural sign for partnership and cooperation.

Moon in Sagittarius is much like the Moon in Leo, but does not contribute to stability.

Moon in Aquarius- the couple are likely to be lasting friends.

Moon in Pisces gives empathy, but is not stable.

The Moon in the signs of Aries, Gemini, Virgo, Scorpio, and Capricorn should be avoided.

The love planets Venus and Mars should ideally be well placed and on favorable degrees. Couples should never marry when any planet is conjunct Caput Algol (25 of Taurus), at 9 degrees of any sign, especially Gemini and Sagittarius as these incite violence. Remember to take fixed stars into consideration when selecting a time.

The temple should be decorated according to the couple’s tastes. Modifications should be made to suit each couple, the following is only a guideline:

The High Priest/ess opens the rite with ringing the bell and drawing a pentagram in the air with his/her athame and recites the following:

In Nomine Dei Nostri Satanas, Luciferi Excelsi. In the Name of Satan, Ruler of the Earth, True God, Almighty and Ineffable, Who hast created man to reflect in Thine own image and likeness, we invite the Forces of Hell to bestow their infernal power upon us. Come forth to greet us and confer dark blessings upon this couple who desire to become as one in the eyes of Lucifer.

The High Priest/ess drinks from the chalice and invokes the Four Crowned Princes of Hell:

Satan/Lucifer from the East
Beelzebub from the North
Astaroth from the West
Azazel from the South

The High Priest/ess now recites the following:

We come together in the Name of our Father and Lord Satan to join_______and________together in marriage.

The High Priest/ess takes his/her athame and draws a circle around the bride and groom. All should visualize a blue light representing the Powers of Hell. He/she then recites the following:

Almighty Satan, look with favor upon your disciples________and_________. Both have come here of their own free will. They come before you to ask your blessings as they set forth on this very day as husband and wife. We ask that you bless this union with lust and the pleasures of life, that their mutual affection and desire for one another continues strong and enduring.

Do you ____________ desire of your own free will to take __________ as your lawfully wedded husband to love, honor and respect; to become as one in the eyes of Satan and before the powers of Hell?

Bride: I Do or Yes

High Priest/ess: Do you __________ desire of your own free will to take __________ as your lawfully wedded wife to love, honor and respect; to become as one in the eyes of Satan and before the powers of Hell?

Groom: I Do or Yes

Both exchange rings

High Priest/ess: In the Name of Satan and before all of the Demons of Hell, I pronounce you Husband and Wife. May your union be powerful, strong and abundant with pleasure. HAIL SATAN!!

Everyone in the congregation shouts “HAIL SATAN!!”

High Priest/ess: Go forth as one, keep each other strong in Satan as you now walk together on the Left Hand Path. May Satan grant you many blessings along the way. Ave Satanas!!

Couple together: Ave Satanas!!

High Priest/ess: Hail Satan!! Congregation: Hail Satan!!

The rite is closed by the High Priest/ess ringing the bell.

Afterwards, there is intense celebration.
