Welcome

To The Grotto

WARNING: NAZI SATANIST FUCK OFF!

The Satanic Grotto is a non-profit corporation. We are not affiliated with, or endorsed, or supported by any other satanic organization. We are an independent and non-denominational Satanic church that utilizes philosophies from many walks of the Left-Hand Path. We are feminist, LGBTQ allies, anti-fascist, and anti-racist.

The Satanic Grotto Mission Statement

The Satanic Grotto is an organization of Satanists and Left Hand Path practitioners. We dedicated to the pursuit of absolute personal sovereignty through the strategic dismantlement of oppressive dogma. We achieve this by empowering our members with decentralized community, defiant religious expression, radical education, and direct adversarial action."

The Satanic Grotto Goals

  • Providing a safe community of mutual support for our members and allies.

  • Supporting the religious and personal development of our members.

  • Creating and promoting Satanic art, music, and literature within our community.

  • Engaging in local social and political activism.

Legal Status

The Satanic Grotto is not merely a philosophical concept. It is a legally recognized entity, formally established as a non-profit corporation incorporated in the state of Kansas. We operate under the federal tax-exempt status of a 501(c)(4) organization. This specific designation was chosen with calculated intent. Unlike religious organizations focused solely on worship, a 501(c)(4) structure grants us the crucial flexibility to engage in robust advocacy and direct action for what we define as social welfare: the vigorous defense of bodily autonomy, the promotion of radical free inquiry, and the active dismantling of oppressive, dogmatic systems within society. This legal framework serves as both our shield, protecting the Society and its members as we operate in the world, and our spear, empowering us to challenge the forces of tyranny and ignorance in the public square.

The Satanic Grotto is registered as The Grotto Society with the state of Kansas under certificate ID 1230086.

Local Chapters

The Kansas City Chapter of the Satanic Grotto

The Satanic Grotto’s roots are firmly planted in Kansas City, where the original chapter was established. The organization's work is a direct manifestation of its mission to improve the community through fellowship, art, religious expression, and activism. This dual focus translates into a wide range of activities that build internal bonds and project external power. Internally, the group fosters a strong sense of community through regular gatherings like open mic nights, craft and project nights, coven meetings, and camping trips, creating a network of mutual support and shared purpose3.

These activities are anchored by a calendar of deeply held religious observances, most notably the High Sabbath rituals that mark the turning points of the year. Beyond their internal work, The Satanic Grotto engages in direct, confrontational activism. This includes a documented history of counter protesting anti abortion rallies and defending Planned Parenthood clinics. Their fight for religious freedom and free speech has been most visible at the Kansas Capitol in Topeka. Complementing this adversarial work is a commitment to community service, demonstrated through actions like Kansas City park cleanup days, volunteering at the Harvesters food bank, and organizing clothing and toiletry donations for KVC.

The Wichita Chapter of the Satanic Grotto

Wichita is the first external chartered chapter of the Grotto. Rooted in sedgwick county, wichita is Kansas's largest metropolitan area, this represents a significant strategic expansion of our organization. Though not as tenured as the original Kansas City chapter, the groundwork for Wichita was being laid as early as winter of 2019, evolving from a loose formation of individual members. Their official charter was formalized and recognized body within the organization's structure in April of 2024.

The members of the Wichita chapter are known to be loyal and fierce adversaries and its organizers are actively building the foundations of a permanent community. Wichita is now poised to become a powerful new front in the struggle for religious freedom and individual sovereignty in Kansas. Great things are expected to come from this burgeoning force.

Lawrence and Topeka Kansas

In addition to its chartered chapters, The Satanic Grotto maintains a strategic presence with active members in the key political and cultural hubs of Lawrence and Topeka. The group's sustained engagement in Topeka is extensively documented, with members consistently confronting the state legislature and religious lobbyists at the Capitol building. These individuals and informal groups are supported by the foundational Kansas City chapter, which acts as a logistical and support base for operations throughout the region, embodying the Grotto's principle of mutual aid. This network ensures a cohesive and expanding operational footprint across eastern Kansas, allowing for rapid mobilization and a persistent, adversarial presence in the state's most critical arenas
