Devil’s Mark Ministries
Devil’s Mark Ministries, LLC is a religious organization dedicated to the worship of the Devil, founded, on February 5, 2021, by RJ Womack (Brother Nero).
Devil’s Mark Ministries was established as an alternative to the Internet-based, social media-driven occult groups. Individuals interested in becoming full members of the ministry must be willing and able to attend offline events.
At the moment, our work consists primarily of publishing educational information and providing religious services to our members.
Devil’s Mark Ministries is not affiliated with any other organization, nor do we claim to speak on behalf of or represent any other tradition. In fact, we encourage our members to mind their business, keep to themselves, and avoid Internet drama.
Shadow Path Diabolism
Shadow Path Diabolism is the religious tradition observed by Devil’s Mark Ministries. The Shadow Path tradition is a polytheistic, nature-based religious tradition with the Devil as its chief deity. While Shadow Path Diabolism takes inspiration from various sources such as ancient Paganism and traditional witchcraft, it’s a religious tradition both separate and distinct from other spiritual paths.
Shadow Path Diabolism is a form of Diabolism, but it is far from the only one. Diabolism has no specific religious tradition or practice associated with it. It is just a general word that means “worship of the Devil or Devils” Shadow Path Diabolism is a specific tradition with its own set of rituals, religious observances, and customs. However, we do not consider ourselves the only true form of Diabolism.
RJ Womack (Brother Nero)
RJ Womack (Brother Nero) is the founder and CEO of Devil’s Mark Ministries, LLC. and the creator of the religious tradition of Shadow Path Diabolism. A practicing Satanist for almost 40 years, Brother Nero has dedicated his life to promoting the worship of the Devil as a serious religious path and offering guidance to other Diabolists and Satanists.
Brother Nero started practicing Satanism at an early age and has been involved with a number of different religious groups, most notably the Temple of Set and the Caliphate OTO in the 1990s.
While he respects both organizations greatly, they were ultimately not right for him. He finds their heavily analytical and secular humanistic approach tends to overshadow individual relationships with the Gods. He created Devil’s Mark Ministries to be a more spirituality-centered organization with the aim of building an offline, drama-free religious community.
