The ''Satano-Grigorist Pocket Guide'' begins with a lengthy table of contents listing every chapter, section, and subsection in the Guide. The Temple recognizes that although the ''Pocket Guide'' is traditionally read linearly, it is also frequently used as a reference. To accommodate this popular use, the table of contents in version 4.0 of the ''Guide'' is designed to maximize ease of access to the specific information the reader may be searching for.


After some introductory headings, which state how to [[contact the temple administrators]] and give a brief overview, the most defining chapters of the guide are chapters 3 and 4. Chapter 3 outlines what we believe, whereas chapter 4 outlines the belief systems that dont align with ours in any way, and would be contradictory to the faith. In chapters 5-9, the guide goes into greater detail about each of our deities. [[Satanael]] is outlined first, and [[the watchers]] thereafter. Since we are [[Pannendeistic]] , we outline the spiritual framework we believe exists immediately after defining our Gods and Their values. Chapters 10 and 11 give the remaining essential information in order to start practicing as a Satano-Grigorist. And aside from the glossary, all that remains is the actual system contained within the temple that defines each of the roles a member can have, and what their significance is to the temple, alongside any remaining values that were not covered in the rest of the pocket guide.  
After the table of contents, the reader is brought to section 1, which states how to [[Grigorist Temple of Satanael#Contact the Temple|contact the Temple]], and section 2, which gives a brief overview of the religion. Sections 3 and 4, which are the most important sections for most inquirers, come next. Section 3 outlines the core beliefs of Satano-Grigorism on various topics, while Section 4 lists the beliefs and ideologies that are incompatible with Satano-Grigorism because they contradict core elements of the faith. These sections equip the reader with enough information about Satano-Grigorism to discuss most aspects of it confidently.
 
Sections 5-7 go into greater detail about Satano-Grigorist deities and theology. [[Satanael]] is covered first (in section 5), and the [[Watchers]] are explained thereafter (section 6). Section 7 is dedicated to [[spirits]] and the [[spiritual realm]].
 
Section 8 covers the religion's panendeistic cosmology, with special emphasis on [[Motsai]], while section 9 explains the Temple's beliefs on death and the afterlife. Sections 10 and 11 contain extensive information on Satano-Grigorist practices, including [[ritual]], [[offering]], and [[prayer]], as well as [[animal sacrifice]] (''dabḥu'').
 
Section 12 outlines the structure and organization of the Temple itself, including information that prepares an [[aspirant]] for what to expect if they are accepted into the Temple. Section 12 also contains the Temple's [[Grigorist Temple of Satanael#Eligibility for membership|membership criteria]] and explains the procedure for [[Grigorist Temple of Satanael#Revocation of membership|removal of a member]].
 
Finally, section 13 covers the philosophical positions taught by the Temple, and section 14 outlines Satano-Grigorist [[Satano-Grigorism#Ethics|ethics]].
