What is the Triumvirate of the Dawn?
The Triumvirate of the Dawn is a private religious community rooted in secular humanism and Satanic philosophy. We are dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, the defense of justice, and the empowerment of all people. Our work centers on education, advocacy, and collective action—building a world where critical thinking, equity, and freedom flourish.
Are you an accredited religion?
In the United States, there is no official certification that makes a group a “real” religion. Courts and the IRS instead evaluate whether an organization functions as a religion based on factors such as having a coherent belief system, a defined structure, regular gatherings, teachings, leadership, and a community of adherents. No single factor is required; the determination is made based on the overall character of the organization.
The Triumvirate of the Dawn meets the legal standards used to recognize religious organizations. We are currently applying for formal 501(c)(3) recognition not because it is required to be a religion or to be tax-exempt, but because we choose to operate with a higher level of financial transparency and public accountability than the law requires.
Our teachings are grounded in the 13 Pillars, which guide our ethics, programs, and community life. While we use symbolic figures such as Lucifer, Lilith, and Leviathan, our focus is on practice, responsibility, and evidence-based understanding rather than supernatural belief.
Do you worship the devil?
No. The Triumvirate of the Dawn does not believe in or worship a literal devil. We use Lucifer, Lilith, and Leviathan as mythological symbols representing knowledge, freedom, justice, and collective power. Our focus is on empowering individuals, supporting marginalized communities, and building a world that values reason, equity, and compassion.
What programs will you offer?
We will offer a range of programs designed to foster critical thinking, ethical action, and personal growth. These will include:
- A multilingual, multicultural K–12 school centered on secular humanist values.
- Community initiatives such as food forests, mutual aid networks, and skill-sharing workshops.
- Advocacy efforts supporting human rights, environmental justice, and freedom from oppressive systems.
How can I get involved?
There are many ways to take action:
- Join our community and participate in discussions, workshops, or classes.
- Volunteer with a local food bank, mutual aid group, or advocacy campaign.
- Support our work through donations or by helping to spread our message.
- Start by reviewing the 13 Pillars—the foundation of everything we do.
Do I have to be a Satanist to join?
No. While our philosophy draws on Satanic symbolism, we welcome all who share our commitment to knowledge, justice, and collective liberation. Whether you identify as a secular humanist, an atheist, a freethinker, or something else entirely, you have a place here if you stand for freedom, equality, and critical inquiry.
