Satanism is a pathway to cognitive illumination through the application of magical concepts and operations for higher self-awareness, personal knowledge acquisition, spiritual freedom, and individual evolution. Satanic rites and rituals are the methods used by practitioners to "bridge the gap" between the physical world, which is limited to three dimensions, and the spiritual world which is limitless.

There are countless Satanic rites and rituals and depending upon the specific objectives and desired outcomes, one or more may be used by practitioners. Satanic rites and rituals may be performed by sole practitioners with a solitary altar located in her/his home. These methods are also performed by Satanic covens (groups of Satanists), usually consisting of six to thirteen individual Satanists, sometimes referred to collectively as a “Coven of Satanic Witches”.

The Satanic circle is a reminder of the spherical nature of life and of magical operations and it is often incorporated into a sacred talisman or amulet. The pentagram, which holds magical significance, is used for many purposes by the Satanic witch. The hexagram (enclosed within a circle) is a powerful symbol used by Satanists during incantations and other magical operations. Energy is the universal force used to change reality. Cosmic energy is at the very core of human existence and Satanic magic is the all-important ingredient for all Satanic processes. Increasing, storing, transferring, and dissipating cosmic energy is a complex methodology.
