	After several months of discussion, the Elders developed a calendar of official [[holidays]] to honor the gods and celebrate important elements of the Satano-Grigorist tradition. On May 21, 2023, the Temple announced a holiday schedule with 24 holidays, which remains mostly unchanged today. Religious calendars for 2023 and 2024 were created and released as PDF files so that visitors to the outreach server could easily download and access the holiday schedule.

This tradition continues today, and most holiday announcements are updated with new information about the deity each year.

	On October 26, 2023, the Temple released the third edition with a new title: the ''[[Satano-Grigorist Pocket Guide]]''. This was the first version that was formatted with LaTeX. The title persisted into version 4.0, which was released on April 15, 2025. Compared to version 3.0, version 4.0 was greatly expanded, reorganized, and rebuilt with comprehensive details on practices as well as beliefs that had changed since the release of v3.0. Its release represented a major milestone for the Temple.		On October 26, 2023, the Temple released the third edition with a new title: the ''[[Satano-Grigorist Pocket Guide]]''.

			The fifth version has yet to be released, but it is expected to be titled ''Satano-Grigorist Pocket Guide v5.0''. On August 11, 2026, the Temple announced on Reddit that is in the planning phase, deciding what new material should be included and what should be modified. While they did not give a projected release date, they stated that work on the document will begin after the official launch of Grigoripedia.

In August 2026, the Temple decided to acquire ''grigoripedia.com'' and migrate Grigoripedia from its old location at ''satanael.org/wiki/'' to this new domain. This decision was made because the URL is much more intuitive, making it easier to link a Grigoripedia article, and because Grigoripedia is distinct enough from the main site to warrant its own domain.

Once a ''kāhinu'' has decided to admit an aspirant into the Temple, the aspirant is presented with the '''Seeker's Pledge'''. The Pledge is an agreement to pursue truth and the virtues of the Self that are taught by [[Satanael]] and the [[Watchers]]. It is not spiritually or contractually binding, and it does not forbid someone from leaving at any time after it is taken.

	As with any organization, the Grigorist Temple of Satanael ~~occasionally encounters~~ issues ~~severe enough to require formal action. Of course~~, ~~the Temple prefers to address issues through~~ direct discussion ~~and~~ criticism~~; removal of a member is a last-resort option~~ and ~~very few members have ever been formally removed~~. ~~However~~, ~~in cases where~~ a ~~member’s~~ behavior is severely disruptive or harmful to ~~themself~~ or others ~~— and they have~~ failed to respond to repeated attempts ~~at confrontation and criticism —~~ a ~~drastic measure such as removal~~ is ~~unfortunately~~ the ~~only remaining option. The Temple may choose one of two formal routes for~~ removal of such individuals from the organization.		Occasionally, as with any organization, the Grigorist Temple of Satanael may encounter issues with a member's behavior, which are usually corrected via direct discussion, constructive criticism, and in more significant cases, explicit warnings. In rare cases, when a member's behavior may be severely disruptive and harmful to themselves or others, a harsher approach may be necessary. Removal is only considered if the member has failed to respond to repeated warnings and correction attempts, or if their actions are so severe that a conservative approach is not viable. Two distinct protocols are established to allow the removal of such individuals from the organization.

	=== Expulsion ===		=== Expulsion ===
Line 99:		Line 99:
	The Grigorist Temple of Satanael trusts its members to manage their own personal relationships, including those with expelled or excommunicated individuals. It does not police members, prohibit them from interacting with anyone, or restrict their free will in any other way. Not only would ”shunning” be contrary to Satano-Grigorist values, it would also be completely unnecessary. By removing the disruptive individual from the organization, the Temple ensures that other members can choose whether or not to interact with them at their own discretion, without being forced to tolerate harmful behavior in their religious space. Satano-Grigorists are, however, discouraged from going out of their way to harass ex-members (or anyone, for that matter), since such behavior is immature, pointless, and detrimental to personal growth.

	== ~~How to contact the Temple~~ ==		== Contact and presence ==
	~~=== Online platforms ===~~		The Temple offers many different platforms and potential routes of contact, but not all are equally effective for direct contact.
	~~GToS maintains a presence on multiple~~ different platforms~~, including Discord, Reddit, Substack, Twitter (X),~~ and ~~more. On most public-facing platforms~~, ~~its username is '''gtosofficial''' or '''officialgtos'''~~.

	The main public community run by ~~the Temple~~ is a Discord server known as the [https://discord.gg/HQSfYSkHYv GToS Outreach Server]~~, which~~ is the best and fastest way to contact Temple Elders and members. ~~Those~~ who ~~refuse to use Discord may reach~~ the Temple ~~by posting in its~~ [https://~~www.~~reddit.com/r/~~satanogrigorism dedicated subreddit~~]~~, sending~~ a ~~private message to the Temple's~~ [https://~~www.~~reddit.com/u/~~grigorist~~-~~temple/~~s~~/eICTzWHyB4~~ Reddit account], ~~reaching out~~ on [https://~~substack~~.~~com~~/~~@gtosofficial Substack~~]~~, or sending an email~~. ~~The Temple also maintains a~~ [https://linktr.ee/gtosofficial Linktree] page, ~~which~~ includes a contact form ~~as well as~~ links to ~~all~~ official GToS accounts on major platforms. ~~All of these methods will have a much slower turnaround time than joining~~ the ~~Discord server~~, so it ~~is highly recommended to use Discord if possible~~.		=== Discord ===
			The main public community run by GToS is a Discord server known as the [https://discord.gg/HQSfYSkHYv GToS Outreach Server]. Joining this server is officially advertised as the best and fastest way to contact Temple Elders and members. In addition to fast responses and active informal conversation, the Outreach Server uniquely offers the opportunity to speak with all types of Satano-Grigorists rather than only the Elders who run the other platforms.

			=== Reddit ===
			The Temple also maintains an official [https://reddit.com/u/grigorist-temple Reddit account] and a dedicated [https://reddit.com/r/satanogrigorism subreddit]. Those seeking a public forum-type experience can post in the subreddit, where their posts can be seen and potentially replied to by Temple members as well as fellow [[nikarūma]]. Private direct messages sent to the Temple's Reddit account are checked periodically, but there is no set timeframe within which the Temple's social media team is guaranteed to respond. Posts in the subreddit usually receive faster responses than direct messages because all new Reddit posts are reported by a Discord bot directly to a public channel in the outreach server.

			=== Other platforms ===
			The Temple has accounts on multiple additional platforms, including Twitter (X), YouTube, and others. On most public-facing platforms, its username is '''gtosofficial''' or '''officialgtos'''.

			A full list of Temple social platforms can be found on its website's [https://satanael.org/socials/ Socials] page. A [https://linktr.ee/gtosofficial Linktree] page also exists; although it may be outdated in comparison to the official website, it includes a contact form and links to official GToS accounts on major platforms. Although the Temple makes an attempt to check messages and notifications regularly, it does not guarantee responses on all platforms, especially those that are seldom used.

	=== Email ===		=== Email ===
	The Temple~~'s preferred email address is~~ [mailto:contact@satanael.org contact@satanael.org]. ~~However~~, the ~~older Gmail address~~, [mailto:~~grigorist.temple~~@~~gmail~~.~~com grigorist.temple~~@~~gmail~~.~~com~~], ~~is still available at this time~~.		The Temple can be reached via e-mail at [mailto:contact@satanael.org contact@satanael.org], which is usually checked every 1-2 days and replied to by Temple Elders. Inquirers who have long messages, complex questions, or formal inquiries, as well as those who wish to establish a stable non-Discord line of contact with the Temple, are encouraged to reach out via e-mail.

			==== Wiki email ====
			Any inquiries that specifically concern Grigoripedia should be sent to [mailto:wiki@satanael.org wiki@satanael.org]. These will be read and responded to by Grigoripedia's editing team, which includes the Elders but may also include other members who have volunteered.

	The ~~next ''~~[~~[Satano-Grigorist Pocket Guide~~]~~]''~~ will ~~replace the Gmail with the new contact email listed above. The Temple plans to retire the Gmail address~~ at some point in the future, ~~but an exact date has not yet been chosen~~. Announcements will be made on Temple platforms ~~when~~ the ~~retirement is officially decided~~.		==== Legacy email ====
			The older Gmail address, [mailto:grigorist.temple@gmail.com grigorist.temple@gmail.com], is still available, but it will be retired at some point in the future. The primary email is heavily preferred, and the legacy email is only to be used as a backup. Announcements will be made on Temple platforms prior to its retirement, and a notice will be posted on the website.

A '''''lamadu''''' has just begun their Satano-Grigorist journey. Requiring guidance and direction on most practices, these new members typically rely heavily on mentorship from more experienced Satano-Grigorists as they navigate the faith.

	Because Satano-Grigorism is a complex religion with a large amount of study material and unfamiliar terminology to learn, the ''lamadu'' stage of membership can initially feel overwhelming. The Temple’s organized framework and easily available mentorship are designed to mitigate these challenges. As new members become more familiar with the fundamentals and gain first-hand experience, the learning curve stabilizes and they ~~may~~ advance to ''žamaru''.

This title represents the highest purely experience-based title that can be achieved by a Temple member. Although ''ātinūma'' are not bound by any official obligations, they can voluntarily act as mentors for fellow Satano-Grigorists, and many look up to them as role models. It is possible for an ''ātinu'' to be as advanced as a ''kāhinu'', with the only difference being that a ''kāhinu'' has accepted a Temple leadership position and the responsibilities that come with it.
