After careful consideration, the Temple of Lylyth is taking a
multilevel approach to organization.
The individual, of course, is the first level. One must have Lylyth within one’s heart. Beyond that, we have local groups
called, (quite appropriately for a Witchcraft group), Covens. The Covens are the physical structure
of the Temple of Lylyth. Additionally,
we have Covenants, non-localized groups dedicated to a certain magical pathway
within the Temple. Covenants are
the logical structure of the Temple. The beauty of this system lies in that within a Coven is a
wide range of individuals, representing different Covenants, all working in
harmony. Click here for more information on Covens and
Covenants.
The essential truth of the
Temple is unchanged: The Temple of Lylyth is unlike other churches. Perhaps the
most important distinction is that we have no laity. Merriam-Webster
defines a priest as "one authorized to perform the sacred rites of a
religion especially as a mediatory agent between humans and God". As a
member of the Temple of Lylyth (or as a human being), if you flow with the Dark
Force in Nature, you need no mediatory agent. As the Temple of Lylyth is
devoted primarily to the worship of the self, you do not need another person
to be your guide.
Simply put, every member of the
Temple of Lylyth is a Priest or Priestess of Lylyth from day one.
Before joining, please look
over our basic beliefs. Agreement with these beliefs is
essential to membership. Also, to
avoid wasting our time or your own, please read our statement on Witchcraft. This not only explains what we are, but
more importantly what we are not.
Also be warned that while we do consider ourselves Wiccans, we do not
consider ourselves Gardnerian Wiccans; and while we consider ourselves
Satanists, we do not consider ourselves LaVeyan Satanists. While it is not our “Bible,” the
serious applicant is advises to find a translation of la Sorciere. (Click here for an excerpt).
If you wish to be a member of
the Temple of Lylyth, fill out our Pre-Qualification Form. Fill out this form and either E-Mail
it to admin@lylyth.org, or send a hard copy to PO Box 370124, Milwaukee, WI 53237.
We will contact you for a telephone interview later. Your membership application will only
be seen by the Temple of Lylyth Application Review Board. Please specify if you would like to be placed
in contact with local members. If
so, your application will also be forwarded to them.
Lifetime membership in the
Temple of Lylyth is $35 U.S.
Membership includes a certificate, a Lylyth Amulet, and an E-Mail
address. We do not give out
membership cards, per se, due to the somewhat clandestine nature of occultism
in general. If you happen to loose
your wallet, why give anyone an excuse to think you don’t deserve to have it
back? Covens may have additional
fees for both initial membership and recurring upkeep costs. These are set by the coven itself.
