The extent of secrecy in a coven and should

[Amalek]

Hello brothers and sisters in Satan!
To what extent is the secrecy of a coven to be taken?
If you are literally allowed to tell nobody else about it how are you supposed to find new members to join?
Of course I would not go around advertising my coven to everyone but I'm curious as to how literal the oath of secrecy is.
If I find a potential candidate for the coven that is an initiated Satanist by telling them about the existence of the coven and inviting them to join wouldn't that technically break the oath of secrecy since I made a non member aware of the coven's existence?

Also I would very much want to know if upon the creation of a coven do the JOS ministries have to be notified or should I just make the forums aware of it or something or is it to be just between me the members and the Gods?

A big thank you in advance for any clarification on this!

Hello, Brother!

To initiate a coven, you need other people that is also dedicated to Satan. So secrecy of the Coven is to be kept clandestine AFTER an initiation. But, I wouldn't go around and ask people about that anyway, that's very risky...and weird. You should or someone in the group should also be on a spiritual level (advanced) where the person can act as the High Priest/ess. The HP should be able to communicate properly with a Patron Demon (who also have to agree upon this). A coven is very rare, as it is very rare having close ties or living near other dedicated Satanists. Personally I wanted to participate or initiate a Coven too a couple of years back. I know 3 other dedicated Satanists (from the same area as me). The thing is, such responsibility is not for everybody. It takes major responsibility for everyone involved, and the Coven is as strong as its weakest link. What would happen to newly dedicated with a lot of hangups, with such responsibility? There are no guarantee that the people involved would even like each other either. Many things can go wrong.

The JoS Forums acts as a Coven in itself. We do Rituals together in power dates for an example. We come here to seek advice from fellow SS and we are currently being lead by a wonderful High Priest (HP Hooded Cobra), just like a Coven of 13 would. Only, the JoS Forums are way stronger! We are many dedicated Satanists here. As you progress you might meet your Guardian Demon, which is a really wonderful experience. With your GD, you can discover many beautiful things about the occult and yourself, and also get to know him/her, which also is very rewarding! I rather spend time with the Forums, RTRs and my GD, than trying to find people to join a local Coven, when all I need is right here in the Forums. Of course, different tastes and interests for all. This is just my take on it. If it is something you truly want, then I suggest you ask Satan for guidance.

HAIL SATAN!!!

Strangely I know this for some reason, JoS has resources on starting a Coven.
It contains how to start one and information on such things.

I believe I read these because I was looking for a RL group, but all I found for RL were pagans and wiccans.
