National BHS is a place where all Paths can come together in a welcoming, judgment free, fellowship of equality. It is a place where you can heal, learn and grow as your magickal Authentic Self. Knowledge is meant to be shared and we view all questions as important in attaining that universal goal. (Teachings shared via Three Circles Medicine & Magick™)

A “black hatter” in one who is a Practitioner of the Arcane Arts, whatever that may mean to you. It is one who understands the Universe of energies around them, both seen and unseen, and is in practice of working with them.

Yes! We are a private society that sponsors, organizes and hosts both “members only” and public classes, meet-ups, Rituals, and cultural/Spiritual based Events to celebrate in all ways, and with all people, including Sabbats and Esbats of various Paths. National BHS℠ along with its Affiliates and Charters often host various public quarterly, and annual festivals in their respective areas. We also serve our Community, Pagan or otherwise, through working with local charities and fundraising with our Affiliates and Charters for vetted causes and donating our time to those causes that are close to our hearts.

Some of our Affiliates also offer house blessings and clearings, free of charge, conducted by a trained and/or Ordained member(s).

Yes! National Black Hat Society’s premier school of esoteric Knowledge offers Lessons through three separate Circles of Study/Paths of Study that lead to a Certificate of Completion known as a Heka Certificate℠ at the end of the traditional “year and a day”.

All three Circles open enrollment every few years after Second Harvest, or at Winter Solstice.

The classes are now being offered “publicly”. These courses are equivalent to other “degree” programs of many Paths. You may find more information about 3CMM on the website.

While there are MANY “Black Hat Society” Communities, there is only ONE National Black Hat Society™. Three Circles Medicine & Magick united with National Black Hat Society and now has state Affiliates, Charters and Individual Members throughout the world.

We recognizes the Official Traditions of other Paths and have deep respect for them all. To officially join National Black Hat Society, or any Affiliate or Charter, simply go to their webpage and complete the form when available.

An Affiliate is a Society of Magick and Medicine, or Black Hat Society established by National BHS under its bylaws and with a representative or registered agent for its location as required by that Secretary of State.

This representative must be able to legally sign documents for the state and the Data Security Agreement with Three Circles Medicine & Magick OR National BHS. The protection of the identity of EVERY MEMBER is crucial. Those who wish to sit Chair for an official National BHS Affiliate are required to attend at least one year of school at 3CMM™ for a full exposure to Ethics in Magick 101.

A Charter is established with an existing Entity - with that Entity retaining its own bylaws and verified Registered Agents with the Secretary of State or verifiable through its respective county (US Only). These are typically LLCs, Sole Proprietors, Charitable Organizations, or Small Corporations.

These may also include individuals who operate their Entity or Business with only a Tax Certificate with their state or county. All of which must be historically verifiable with a MINIMUM of 2 Years in operation.

Membership to National BHS is required as well as demonstrated activity within the Community the Entity operates.

Adoption of a “different” title is not required.

To obtain Charter status with National BHS, one must request a Charter Packet to begin the verification process.
