(The Order) Of the Grotto Path & Presence

## The Order of the Grotto Path & Presence (Tradios)

The Grotto Path & Presence is a occultic satanist path of extreme spiritual and Omnipotent presence.

Unlike other Satanist paths which believe they are their own God or they have no God and see Satan as a figuritive archetype. The Grotto Path believes they are the path, and Satan being Omnipotent as the presence.

## Grotto Beliefs:

We believe "Satan" is Dark Pagan or Nocturnal Mystery because most of true satanism is a mystery tradition that has roots in ancient shamanism and ancient paiga (paesha), and can't be proven but can not also be disdained. Spirituality is a personal road which isn't something proven by book or seen by the eyes of the people because Godhood or being Omnipotent, is not something you should attempt to prove to people because it is a sacred way of being and life that not everyone is going to understand. Ego is about fear. Boasting about one's abilities is about supernatural success trying to bully and belittle the humble. This is also fear. Insecurity over life overthrown, of enemies finally getting their just rewards is also Fear. If you have fear inside you, you are immature and NOT Omnipotent! "Look at this" or "look what I can do" or believing you can sleep with a woman or man and own them or absorb their "abilities or powers" is insecurity and fear. This is evil.

Being a Grottoian, or Grotto Traditionalist Satanist is about knowing better and being what one is, and doing what one must do. Similar to the Templar, or the Soldiers of Christ. Similar in belief to the Methodist and also Lutheran beliefs, similar also to Universalism. If I must say we believe in the omnipotent being and that we are the omnipotent being to **differentiate** from the Church of Satan so be it. Therefore the path of the Grotto-ian makes them an "Outhos" which is Latin for "Path". They being, omnipotent does not make them a warrior on the path but the warrior path itself. This is Heatheru (Caysharoo) principle. Anyone with Craft smarts and experience can thus create a path from any other path when it's their time. It may not be popular. But that is not why we are here, we are not here for the Pageant, or the show. We have come to do our work, and we will continue too regardless of doctrine or lack there of.

We also honor the Apocalypse and Post apocalyptic Time frame:

DARK PAGANS GROTTO SPACE, AKA DARK PAGAN SOCIETY, IS A 1950 POST MODERN PAGANISM TRADITION IN WHICH WE SEE SATAN AS A DEITY OF PAGAN ORIGIN. WE BELIEVE WE ARE OMNIPOTENT BEINGS, OR WAYS AND WE ARE NOT HERE TO RULE ANYONE, BUT DO OUR WORK. This belief stems from the ways of the ANNUNAKI which we believe we are of, and are.

We are here to **temperament** the Wastelands. We are not here to control it, or destroy it, but we are here to *aid* it's *quest*, which is something we work in tandem with. Therefore our main styles of ritualistic robes and clothing is post apocalyptic to show that there is change in the present world.

***See you out there, outlander.***

## Grotto Tenets of Belief and ways of being:

Grotto Guidelines:

1. Don't give a damn about what others think.

2. Do what you need to do when you need to do it!

3. Be a bad assed motherfucker because you "get life" better than the herd does.

4. Be such a roadblock to injustice that people about shit themselves in your presence.

5. Fight "the man" when it can be done "educationally".

6. Never stop learning about the ancient ways, regardless of what some people say.

7. Always be YOURSELF. You are the TRUTH struck on the very WALLS.

## Stignets of the Order

Being the Signet, we work with the Stignet, the Great sign that we are the desired "kingdom".

The purpose of The Order of the Grotto Path & Presence is We bring forth a society that says good change is in the world, and that we help bring it forward be it through compassionate services or life coaching or spiritual work. We may not speak about our spiritual work as it is silent. However we invite those not scared by satanist objects and ways and means to join us in helping to care for the world's people so they know we do a good thing with our Guardianship of Compassion. Food drives, good drives and so on to help get what people need. Many churches both Christian and Satanist do this and I can see no harm in it either. We believe if we pay it forward, we will have fine rewards of doing so. We do this with the purpose of Satan as they were/are a provider of clothing, goods and food in times past in star culture, as a star being. Stignet is also a stalemate, but we believe it is a good pointed one, to care for others should they need it. Unfortunately, we're not rich, and it will take donations but we aren't asking for anything at this time.
