Well, if it were really "secret", only members would know about it.
But here's one not so secret:
"Temple of Set (ToS) and related sites
The ToS is the oldest aboveground theistic Satanic-related organization still in existence. However, the ToS apparently does not consider itself to be "Satanist" per se. See The Black Beyond Black by Don Webb, and see the ToS General Information Letter. In any case, the ToS's concept of Xeper (becoming) has had a strong influence on subsequent theistic Satanists."
"The Temple of Set is an international organization existing on every continent except Antarctica, and it is the only Satanic religion fully recognized by the United Sates government. Its membership is limited to adults (18+) and is open to all races, genders, and gender preferences. Its only requirement of its members is their desire to use the Temple of Set as a tool for their self development.
The Temple of Set is a Left Hand Path Initiatory organization. The tradition of spiritual dissent in the West has been called Satanism, but more universally the Left Hand Path is a rationally intuited spiritual technology for the purpose of self deification. We choose as our role model the ancient Egyptian god Set, the archetype of Isolate Intelligence, rather than the somewhat limiting Hebrew Satan, archetype of Rebel against cosmic injustice. As part of our practice we each seek the deconstruction of the socially constructed mind, so we begin in rebellion -- thus we accept the label "Satanist," but since we seek to supplant the socially constructed mind with a mind of our own individually chosen construction, we prefer the term Setian. We have no "religious" interest in the figure of Satan, and indeed we do not worship Set -- worshipping instead only our own potential."

Do you mean oldest satanic organization, or oldest secret society, or oldest secret satanic society? They're not the same thing.
The Freemasons are a secret society but not satanic. The Church of Satan is a satanic organization but not secret.

If we had an answer for that one then it wouldn't be a secret society anymore.
