Holidays:

  • Jan. 22nd: Roe v. Wade Remembrance Observance

  • Feb. 15th: Lupercalia

Based on the Roman festival of the same name, Lupercalia falls on February 15. In keeping with the ancient tradition, February 13th and 14th are observed as feast days leading up to the actual holiday. What we are translating this to in TST is a "hail yourself" day. This idea offers a parallel to the "others-centered" traditions of Sol Invictus.

  • April 30th: Hexennacht

  • In Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust: a Tragedy (1808), Mephisto and Faust attend the Walpurgisnacht revelry atop Mount Brocken. TST's Hexenacht is a solemn holiday to honor those who were victimized by superstition.

  • June 6th: Devil's Night Observance

  • 666

  • July 25th: Unveiling Day

  • A centerpiece of our religious movement and icon of modern Satanism, the Baphomet with Children statue was commissioned by The Satanic Temple in 2014 and created by Mark Porter with "respect for diversity and religious minorities" in mind. On July 25, 2015, The Satanic Temple unveiled Baphomet to a large crowd of devotees in Detroit, signaling the beginning of the new Satanic era. We observe this milestone in Satanic history by celebrating Unveiling Day.

  • Sept. 30th: Blasphemy Day Observance

  • Oct. 31st: Halloween

  • Halloween is consistently described as evil, demonic, and satanic by those steeped in religious dogma. Costumes, candy, and facing fears are to be embraced.

  • Dec. 25th: Sol Invictus

  • The cult of Sol existed within Rome since its early days as a republic, and Invictus was an epithet used for Jupiter, Mars, and Apollo (among others). The festival celebrated these gods and may have also been used to celebrate the winter solstice, though this is debatable.

    Any SF Bay Area members interested in applying for a Chaplain program?

    There is a fire department in the south bay looking to have a volunteer chaplain. I'm curious if any members here would qualify for the position (doesn't seem to require much). I am not a member of the temple, but I do not appreciate the crossover of religion and government. It was originally geared towards Christian based faiths, but was recently changed due to some complaints. Send me a DM if interested and I can send you the info!

    Membership

    Hello all!

    I recently became a member for the Satanic Temple.

    I was super excited to pick up my certificate and card, however, upon inspecting I noticed my last name has a typo. I went to report it through there shop on the website and will wait for an email. My question is how soon does it typically take for a response? I also currently live overseas so I know it’ll take another few weeks for a new certificate and card.

    Thank you all in advance, Hail Satan 🤘🏻

    Overly Christian Lyrics in Choir.

    My friend and I who are both satanists, are in a college choir together, and are singing a variety of pieces. Some of which include very overly Christian lyrics and themes. I’ve come to combat this by assigning my own meaning to it, in a way that isn’t so indoctrinating.

    I’m curious to know what other kinds of super-Christian things you come across in life, and how you personally combat them.

    Religious School Tshirts

    Hi all! The middle school that I work at has begun its own chapter of the FCA (fellowship of Christian athletes). This club is now selling tshirts with our school’s logo and a Bible verse (Luke 1:47). Is this allowed? Technically, the club is selling the shirts, not the school.

    Got into whittling, made this from a piece cut from a downed palm tree from hurricane Milton

    Very first piece I made and not sure if I am done with it. After hurricane Milton, we had some downed trees and I snagged an 8 foot tall thin palm tree trunk. Made this piece from a piece of that trunk. Go easy on me, I am proud of it >_<

    How to settle in, find resources?

    Hi! So i’m a current HS student, whom has recently been in the process of trying to “convert” to satanism and I genuinely have so many questions!! it would mean a lot to me if I could get some help! I did find out that satanism is a very researched based religion, and that i should be able to look all this up, but I think it would be 10X better coming from actual members of the TST instead of Google …..

    Here are my questions!!

    1. Where can I find Satanic “Bibles” and/or Philosophy-books?

      • I have genuinely searched everywhere, and i don’t know where exactly to find these things! I feel super silly about not knowing!
    2. What can I do to officially start practicing satanism?

    3. Where can I find satanic jewelry?

      • All I really have is some GHOST band Merch! like earrings and hoodies.
    4. How can I get comfortable with the religion?
      - Basically meaning, What can i do to help me practice it more?

    I’m sorry for all the silly questions! I’m still super duper new to this religion. I have been trying to do research for a little over a year now. but now i’m to the stage where i’m ready to officially get started, and could use some help! Again, apologies for the silly questions! And Thank you in advance to those that answer! It means a lot to me!

    What does the symbol of Baphomet/Inverted Cross mean to you

    I have been apart of the TST for 2 years and I have started looking into alot of the different forms of satanic/occult style symbolism to see which symbols really resignated with me. I am curious what these symbols mean to all of you and would love to learn more about them and other symbols like the leviathan cross and other satanic symbology.

    Bob Ross

    Bob Ross is the only person who when they say “God bless you” I believe they actually want god to bless me. I mean god isn’t real but Bob was a treasure. His melodious tones, his actual paintings, his life story, true treasure.

    Whats up with TST vs Cos?

    Heya, a freshly joined TST member here. What the fuck is up with the fighting of Satanic temple and the satanic church?
    I might just be "too soft" to be a satanist, but I genuinly don't understand why everyones at each others throats. I have heard that TST founder has done some bad bad shit, but I haven't personally found any clear posts or explanations on it. Some people say TST Is just a political movement, somesay the same shit about Cos, this feels like one religion vs another religion.
    Am I just stupid? Am I missing something? Should I have my own way of being a satanist?

    Lucien substack

    This maybe an unpopular take but it deserves to be heard. Lucien’s posts on substack are factually incorrect and can be pursued as defamation. After reading through them I am concerned that it can have a negative effect on the good works being done by congregations and the the individuals who were pursuing change through the courts.

    What’s your opinion on this and do you think he is jeopardizing the positive work that was being done?

    A hopefully helpful app

    Take what I say next with a grain of salt, because I haven't used it much. But there's an app called Goods Unite us All that tells you every companies Political affiliation. So if you'd like to stay away from MAGA affiliated businesses, it may be good for you. It was recommended on The MeidasTouch Network if that helps anyone to better make their decision. MeidasTouch is VERY anti Pumpkin Palpatine/MAGA.

    Hopefully this helps.

    Not the huge nativity scene on display near my city park-

    Real talk, I really do wish satanists we're able to do something about every shove of Christianity. I'm pretty sure I'm the only Satanist in my town (which is overtly Christian.) we have Christian meetings at the school and, in the title of this post, there's a big nativity scene near the city park (for Christmas! But it's the only religious display.) I'm not able to do anything about it, at least not safely. (Please don't ask, I don't wanna talk about it.) I guess it will remain like this.

    Edit: if you are gonna be rude and break the rules in the comments, just know you will be reported and blocked. I've had 2 people do this already and I shouldn't spend any more time trying to make peace.

    Fuente del Ángel Caído

    Years ago I went to Madrid Spain and saw this statue. Supposedly it’s one of the few publicly displayed statues of Satan. The statue also sits at 666 m above sea level.

    Enjoying traditionally ‘Christmasy’ things as a satanist

    Hi! Is it okay for me to participate in things like gift giving and enjoying Christmas music and lights and all that in December despite celebrating Sol Invictus and being a satanist? I really enjoy the lights and gift giving, and some metal Christmas songs are just amazing. I figured it could be fine but I wanted to make sure.

    edit: thank you guys so much for the answers :) i appreciate all of them!! ^^
