diabolist
One serving Satan
A diabolist is someone who practices devil worship or black magic.
The word carries connotations of deliberate, systematic engagement with demonic forces rather than casual superstition.
It appears mainly in fantasy fiction and historical accounts of witchcraft: The diabolist conducted rituals in the abandoned chapel.
