The Initiation

The initiation into Demonolatry can happen one of two ways. Through self dedication and self initiation, or through self dedication and coven/sect initiation. Some sects require you to be baptized before being initiated. Others will allow baptism at a later date.

The basic initiation rite is as follows: The ritual begins by the basic construction of an elemental circle. The initiate enters at the North part of the ritual chamber as North signifies new beginnings in Demonolatry. At each elemental point the initiate is presented by the priest or priestess to the elemental demon as such: [Demon Name], we present you [Initiate's Name] - a true follower of your path. Grant him/her the wisdom to know your divine power. The Initiate Responds at each Element thus: Hail [Demon's Name]. Coven/Sect follows with resounding "Hail" The initiate must then kneel before the altar and cut her hand, allowing her blood to spill into the chalice in which the blood of the rest of the coven has been placed. Once mixed with water blessed by the demon Leviathan, the initiate is presented to the Coven/Sects patron Demon. This can vary from Sect to Sect. Once this is done, the initiate is asked to drink from the chalice. The chalice is then passed from member to member. Some coven/sects give the initiate a name which the demons will know him/her by and/or a pendant to wear signifying their acceptance into the group.

For self initiation, the rite proceeds likewise except the initiate must present him/herself : [Demon Name], I present myself to you as a true follower of your path. Grant me the wisdom to know your divine power. Hail [Demon Name]. The initiate must them present herself at the altar and must cut her hand letting blood fall into the chalice. The initiate mixes the blood with water, presents it to Leviathan: "Leviathan - bless this water that I may cleanse myself and start my life anew as a demonolator." Once this is done the initiate presents herself to the patron demon or Satan. She then drinks from the chalice.
A pre-purified pendant of significance can be made for the purpose of this ritual so that when the initiate finishes the self initiation she can give herself the pendant. The pendant is merely a reminder and a symbol of faith, love and devotion.

Self dedications can be done before or after a sect or self initiation.
