Who Can Join RCOS?
Any person over 18 years of age, who is in reasonable mental health, and agrees to abide by the Basic principles of Positive
satanism.
We accept people in all countries, of all races, from all creeds, of all marital status, of all sexual orientations, and
all ages above legal voting age or legal contractual age for the country and province/state the person lives in.
It should be noted that despite joining RCOS and agreeing to these principles, it does not necessarily make one a Satanist.
And let it also be noted that just because one is a Positive Satanist, it does not mean that one has to abandon one's previos
religious affiliations or other organizations one was a member of.
RCOS believes it has no attitudes, beliefs, rituals, or principles which are contrary to the moral principles of any life
giving faith. Some may feel to the contrary, but that matter is up to the individual and the people he/she is dealing with.

Why Join RCOS?
This is a complicated issue.
Why join any Church or organization?
It might to find friends of like minds.
It might be to find spiritual fullfilment.
It might be to enjoy ritual and services.
It might be to find a good place to marry.
It's as wide a field of motivations as there are numbers of people in the world.
We at RCOS would like to make sure that, whatever else you may see in us, that you are not coming to our door to be a
rebel. We really do not want to accept people who are using us to get back at a loved one, or another organization for that
matter. We are a harbor of individuals who want to accomplish something! Simply pu, that is mutually exclusive to people who
merely want to scare their family or freinds at work and school. Please consider that before applying.
Some good reasons to join RCOS include a fabulous training program for magick and psychic develoment. We also have fascinating
programs for studying philosophy and psychology. You may also want our resources for exploring wholistic healing and various
therapies.
RCOS is a sponsor of research and exploration into music, art, poetry, and literature. We will gladly aid the artist in
promoting quality work that communicates feeling and ideas to people.
RCOS sponsors a massive, growing library that is open to members only. With over 10,000 titles and growing, it can be
agreat place to find business ideas, literature, ancient religious themes to inspire, psychology and healing techniques, and
so much more. Besides this, we are striving towards providing The Free Speech Library, a program to defend the First Amendmant
of the Constitution of the United States from infringement by well meaning but ignorant sources.
RCOS is establishing it's own publishing conglomerate, record company, and independant film corporation. While these projects
are a mix of months and years away total, they are examples of pooling our resources to spread the art and talent of our little
community.
Besides the previous, we'd ask you why not? Why not go somewhere with a sense of humor, some humility, and an open mind?
Why not go where everything is about creativity and success? Why not be happy?
In the end, it's all up to you.

What's the catch/cost?
There are 3 types of membership.
Associate membership costs nothing but the donation of a book to our library, but we choose the title. Associate members
recieve our email newletter, an id card, and some inside information.
Standard membership costs $20 or the donation of two books to our library. Standard member are also required to submit
a yearly white paper on one of the "Ten pillars of True Occultism" and have at least one other contact a year with
a branch of the church. members can use ministerial services <weddings, etc> at a discount or free, depending on the
service. Members on this level also get a quarterly audio cd or cassette featuring talks by Mike Noxaura, Katie DeLong, Phaedra,
and Morgana. These roundtables or lectures cover important concepts behind the Church and Positive Satanism.
The third ring or level of membership is clergy and above. This costs the training program cost, listed on our Clergy
Page. Arrangements can be made due to hardship or retiree or student status. Payment plans are available. Due to the costs
involved, clergy pay no yearly dues for two years after completing the program. Clergy must maintain a high grade point average,
and contribute regularly to the newletters and volumes of church doctrine.
Contributions may be made through paypal or by check. please call the Michigan office for a list of books we are seeking
for donations if you wish to go that route.
