Hello, r/IAmA!
I am a Kāhinatu (Elder) of the Grigorist Temple of Satanael (GToS), an active Theistic Satanist religious organization. We practice Satano-Grigorism, a polytheistic religion that worships Satanael (the Devil, commonly called Satan or Lucifer by others) alongside the Watchers or Grigori, a group of 200 fallen angels best known from the Book of Enoch who taught forbidden knowledge to mankind and fathered the Nephilim.
About me: I have been a Theistic Satanist for ~7.5 years and a part of leadership in GToS for ~4.5 years. Before I was Satano-Grigorist, I followed a different independent form of Theistic Satanism. As an Elder, I carry a lot of the administrative duties for the organization. That includes research/scholarship and writing official resources, deciding who to admit into the Temple, mentoring new members, hosting our religious gatherings, and much more.
About the Temple: The Grigorist Temple of Satanael is one of very few active public-facing Theistic Satanist organizations, and is the only known modern religious organization that systematically worships the Watchers as a pantheon. Our organization exists to provide the necessary framework and support for the religion of Satano-Grigorism via research, resources, mentorship, community worship, and more. We are currently working on a large wiki project, Grigoripedia, that will cover concepts related to Satano-Grigorism in an easy-to-read format -- including extensive information about the Watchers that we have never published before, which we expect will be valuable to the broader Satanic and occult communities well beyond our own faith.
I welcome any kind of question a curious visitor might throw at me, whether it's about me, my religion, the organization, or something else. I have never been offended by curiosity, even if the approach is skeptical, critical, or unusual, so no topic is off-limits for this AMA. The one exception is that I won't answer questions that could put me or other Temple members in danger, such as by revealing private identifying information.

May all those who seek knowledge be blessed by their own gods, whoever those gods may be.
