Satano-Grigorist Pocket Guide: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

The ''Satano-Grigorist Pocket Guide'' begins with a lengthy table of contents listing every chapter, section, and subsection in the Guide. The Temple recognizes that although the ''Pocket Guide'' is traditionally read linearly, it is also frequently used as a reference. To accommodate this popular use, the table of contents in version 4.0 of the ''Guide'' is designed to maximize ease of access to the specific information the reader may be searching for.

After the table of contents, the reader is brought to section 1, which states how to [[Grigorist Temple of Satanael#Contact the Temple|contact the Temple]], and section 2, which gives a brief overview of the religion. ~~Then come~~ the most important sections for ~~the average inquirer — sections 3 and 4~~. Section 3 outlines the core beliefs of Satano-Grigorism on various topics, while Section 4 lists the beliefs and ideologies that are incompatible with Satano-Grigorism because they contradict core elements of the faith. These sections ~~on their own~~ equip the reader with enough information about Satano-Grigorism to discuss most aspects of it confidently.

Sections 5-7 go into greater detail about Satano-Grigorist deities and theology. [[Satanael]] is covered first (in section 5), and the [[Watchers]] are explained thereafter (section 6). Section 7 is dedicated to [[spirits]] and the [[spiritual realm]].

Section 8 covers the religion's panendeistic cosmology, with special emphasis on [[Motsai]], while section 9 explains the Temple's beliefs on death and the afterlife. Sections 10 and 11 contain extensive information on Satano-Grigorist practices, including [[ritual]], [[offering]], and [[prayer]], as well as [[animal sacrifice]] (''dabḥu'').

Section 12 outlines the structure and organization of the Temple itself, including information that prepares an [[aspirant]] for what to expect if they are accepted into the Temple. Section 12 also contains the Temple's [[Grigorist Temple of Satanael#Eligibility for membership|membership criteria]] and explains the procedure for [[Grigorist Temple of Satanael#Revocation of membership|removal of a member]].

Finally, section 13 covers the philosophical positions taught by the Temple, and section 14 outlines Satano-Grigorist [[Satano-Grigorism#Ethics|ethics]].
