Membership Information

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.
