Your English is understandable, but not fanastic. Have you an Italian copy of The Satanic Bible? Or have you been struggling to understand an English copy? If you have an Italian copy you have no excuse for asking the above question  Assuming it is an adequate translation. I do not expect for a moment, however, that the CoS would have hired shoddy translators. If you have only an English copy, that may be another matter.

"you need to purchase the secret CoS decoder ring."
Damnit! Now everyone is going to want one.

Pathetic.
The gentleman asked a perfectly reasonable question without pretence or insult.
If you cannot answer him I think it is extremely rude and reflects badly on you to make silly comments.
To the original poster:
The ceremonies in The Satanic Rituals are performed as Psychodrama. Rather like a stage play.
They are mostly performed for enjoyment - though in the case of, for instance, the Black Mass it could be performed as a method of shedding the bondage of Christianity for those that feel it helps to make a solid decleration that they have done so - hence calling it psycho drama.
I am sure you know this, but I am just trying to be clear before I come to my point.
Ritual is more personal and many Satanists prefer to conduct them in private.
However, it is also highly advisable to create your own rituals using the Satanic Bible as a guidline to making them more "your own" and meaningful to you.
Although the ceremonies in The Satanic Rituals are made for groups I personally do not see any reason why there would be any problem in adapting them in a manner that you could work alone if you really wish to do so.
Especially taking into consideration that one could even use "artificial human companions" (see 5 point pentagonal revisionism on the CoS site if you are unfamiliar with the term).
Personally, Sir, I am very private with rituals myself and not at all interested in group ritual so this is an aspect that only occured to me after reading your post, so thank you.
I know English is not your first language and may be harder for you but I hope I have offered something of help to you.

Absolutely. I have done this myself with great satisfaction and results.

Lonely practitiones is a term Neopagans use. They are obsessed with magic. Satanism has never been so esoteric. It is about real life achievment through many means. Magic is used as a tool to achieve things in this world and not something to dwelve upon that much. Other "magickal traditions" only talk about magical adeptness and things like that. This is out of line, magic is a tool and nothing more, yet they worship this tool.
Anyway, group rituals are not necessary but sometimes the group situation helps. It is stated in TSB and it is that simple.
Balance.

I like affirmed terrorists, especially from where was it? Numivnstan? or some crap like that. Anyway, I'm open to hear various viewpoints about what a Pagan is as opposed to a "Neo-Pagan". Now you have my attention with "Wiccan" for that is absolutely the tree hugging, shrub diving variety, however, I use the term Pagan occasionally for the more covert times of the year...namely other than Halloween and Walpurgisnacht. Pagan covers a wide spectrum, but in the raw basically it extols individuals who step outside the bullshit morality ploys that have been established by the current societal norm. "PC" etc, ad nauseaum, as for your Mosvad's or whatever your name is Mr. Satanic bin laden, get over the ego issue and invest in a some beard clippers, they're so "9-11".
