(If you would like to participate or simply follow along, the text for this Rite is here: )

The Rite is posted to YouTube, so remember to use FreeTube or the privacy respecting interface of your choice. We're still trying to get our PeerTube instance up and running.

The Rite of Self-Authorship is a symbolic ritual open to any individual who wishes to consciously claim their own life.

It is not a rite of belief, submission, or conversion. No faith is required, no authority is granted, and no obligation is imposed. Participants may observe, engage partially, or take part fully — or simply watch and leave unchanged.

The rite marks a pause: a moment to recognise how much of a life can be shaped by inherited scripts, expectations, and unchosen roles. It offers a threshold for those who wish to move from passive existence into conscious authorship.

Participation does not promise transformation. It affirms responsibility. Helltraef does not name, elevate, or command — it witnesses.

This ritual is an invitation to stop waiting for permission, to stop outsourcing meaning, and to consciously accept the work of becoming the author of one’s own life.

Watching is enough. Participating is optional.
Authorship, however, cannot be delegated.
Hail yourselves!

Our Principles are;

  1. We celebrate the uniqueness and autonomy of all humans, and we live accordingly.
  2. We will never accept anyone forcing their ideas on others, and we should actively combat such behaviour.
  3. As reasoning beings we respect science, employed with compassion.
  4. We are all human, and therefore fallible. We accept this in ourselves and work to correct our own failings and we expect the same from others.
  5. Laws and institutions are created by humans, and are fallible too. We will not blindly obey them.
  6. Nature and the planet we live on sustain our existence. We respect nature as without it, we are no longer viable.
  7. Whilst wrongdoing clearly exists, sin does not exist. Sin is a set of arbitrary concepts invented to keep us placid and obedient. We sin with pleasure.
  8. We do not gatekeep Satanism, or any religion. If your principles match ours, that’s what matters to us.
  9. Our principles are not set in stone. They are aims, not commandments. We are humans, capable of change and there is no reason to assume we are infallible.

We do not tolerate intolerance. We are antifascist and anti-bigot. This means we do not tolerate fascism, racism, colonialism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, ageism, casteism, consent violations or apologia for these things.
