No Visual Sexual Content. Decision is up to mods. If unsure ask. Common exceptions will be things like the school system's idea of "Sex Ed". If your post contains non-sexual nudity, please mark NSFW.
Posts Looking For Chapter Info Belong In The Stickied Thread.
No Proselytizing. Defined here as: To attempt to convert someone to one's own religious faith. This is a TST sub, but since membership here is not restricted to TST members, we ask only that you respect the choice of other Redditors in this regard.
No Doxing. Any mention of another user's inexplicitly-disclosed personal info will result in a ban, severity of which will be determined according to the offense. It is no secret that there are others who would like to see us harmed or harassed; our Reddit pseudonyms are an important line of defense against this. Do not act against this defense.
No ragebait. Posts that are critical of Christianity are to be expected and allowed here. However, posts that are purely ragebait will get deleted. We understand that the difference is not always quite clear, and we will take that into consideration when dealing with this issue. When in doubt, ask yourself this question before posting: "Is there a point to this post other than getting people angry at Christians and/or conservatives?"

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.

Hello everyone! I bought some stuff from the page and patches were one of them.
I'm pretty sure the on on the right is the iron on patch but I'm not sure what the other one is. It's like a cardstock version of the patch.
Thanks in advance!
Hello!
I posted here previously asking for advice on my public school (Iowa, USA) making tshirts with Bible verses. Since then, I became aware of staff blatantly disregarding federal law (basically the club was entirely ran by school staff, who also lead the group in prayer among other things). I filed a complaint with the superintendent yesterday, and saw today that I had been blocked from the groups Facebook page, which includes the full name of our school in its title, and the school logo. Is this legal? The staff I reported blocked me as well, on his personal page, which is well within his rights 🤷🏼♀️.
I am in contact with the Board of Education and ACLU, and whispers have started that the club will be moved to a Church soon, but still. I’m pissed. I went through all of the correct channels for officially filing a report, and can’t see how I can be punished for that as the club is officially affiliated with the public school.
EDIT: Realistically, I’m not going to sue, but this was the article that made me question the legality: https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/post/citizen-blocked-from-social-media-pages-by-school-officials-can-proceed-with-first-amendment-claims/
I'm new(ish) to the satanic temple and really looking for connections and advice!
My family is different degrees of Christian, with the women all being Catholic and my BIL is a pastor for Southern Baptist Churches. Most have assumed I'm Christian, and I haven't fought them on it, let them believe whatever.
But the past year or so, with project 2025 and trad-wife culture booming, Im really getting irritated by the assumptions and "I'm praying for you" and "God bless you" and it's just so infuriating and feeling like a literal curse when they say these things....
How can I tell them I am not only NOT Christian but I am ANTI religion. I don't want a huge debate or (Oh God) an intervention! But I feel it's time, I need to them know so they stop looping me in on prayers and feeling comfortable making comments that, truly, upset me.
TL;DR: I'm fully in the satanic temple after years of ambiguous faith. I need my family to know so I stop creating a safe space for their religious jabbering. How can I "announce" this without it being too offensive?
I happened to look at my house on Google earth and they drove by a couple weeks ago for street view. The flags I put up in protest to my holier than thou police department, of which the chief is my neighbor.
HAIL SATAN!
If you are like me and bad at remembering them. My goal for the year is to be more intentional and build new traditions for myself. Does anyone have any TST holiday traditions?
I want to start satanic worship how can I start
In the following of the Black Moon, Lilith, I'd like to share with you a song dedicated to Her, as part of my "Luciferian Mass" album. Hope you enjoy. I do it for free, just to expand the mind and somehow spread the Love and freedom of the LHP. If it somehow helps anyone to gain focus or relax even better. Suggestions, comments and requests are deeply appreciated. Consider to like/share if you think it worths it. Thank you! Blessed Beast!
I’ve never been a religious person. Growing up, my two best friends fought over who got to take me to their church group on weekends - one very Catholic, the other very Jewish. I remember thinking wow, these are cults.
22 years later, I’m a lonely widow. I have very few friends. Meeting people is hard. I’m considering looking into signing up or whatever it is I need to do to officially join a congregation. There is one in my province but I don’t know where to start or what to say.
So I want to know - are you an official member of TST, and why? Is it worth it for me to get the card and officially be a member, will it help me meet likeminded people?
Matthew 10:34-36 : "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.’"
Luke 12:51-53 : "Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."
Even if TST succeeds temporarily in getting rid of Christianity from government, the fight will never end and they will constantly try to attack and take over, for eternity.
Moreover, I believe that TST in the future should offer some kind of safe space, for children to get away from their religious parents, and be able to be free and develop themselves. I think it is in the government's interest to have high earning citizens, for more taxes. Christianity stifles growth and destroys mental well being, therefore it goes against government economic interest as well.
I’d like to have an open discussion with y’all about how the Tenets relate to the current state of US guardianship/conservatorship law, and how being part of this religion could impact and help shape the path of any one of us as we age, or have preexisting disabilities.
Britney Spears, John Oliver https://youtu.be/nG2pEffLEJo?si=wb5uvgzhwPz0CPAd and the Netflix show I Care a Lot (loosely based on a true story) show us some of the ways guardianships have been used to rob people after gaining legal control of their bodies and drugging them with a cocktail strong enough to make anyone appear incompetent.
As an aging TST member, with various disabling conditions of my own, I want to make sure that my religious beliefs are held fast at all times, with no medical consent violations outside if legit emergencies (think 911).
But TST is fledgling and hasn’t yet fought this fight.
I need your help, fam, forging a path for all of us.
One’s body is inviolate, subject to one’s own will alone!
How do we ensure that bad guardians can’t prey upon us and call it “helping”?
For my birthday, my husband bought me this giant Baphomet plush! He knows me so well. It does scare my cat, though. Hail Satan, hail thyself!
And! I was told at the same time that it’s available to borrow from the online library “Hoopla” for anyone in the United States. I had no idea this existed, has anyone seen it?
TST has a set of bracelets for sale on the website, each displaying the text of one of the seven tenets: https://thesatanictemple.com/collections/supreme-courtship-fundraiser/products/supreme-courtship-fundraiser-donation-tenet-iii-bracelet
I would really like to get one, but I just can't decide - I'm having a hard time deciding if one of the tenets means more to me than the others.
For anyone who has gotten one of these bracelets, would you be willing to explain how you chose which one to get, and why that tenet has a special meaning for you?
EDITED TO CLARIFY: I am mainly interested in why people have chosen certain tenets, rather than just a vote/tally of what everyone's favorite is.
Just wondering if anyone else is having issues with shipping to Canada? The links to ask the TST HQ directly isn't working for me on the website and I am hoping to figure out if it's an error that they do not ship to Canada or a known thing.
Thanks in advance!
Hey y’all. I’ve made the decision to try Satanism for a couple of months to see if it resonates with me. The problem is that I live outside the western world without a Satanic Temple near me, and I’m damn sure there are no Satanist friends in my area to help me through this journey. I thought I could do it myself until I realized y’all do rituals and traditions and it’s based on connecting with others. That kinda makes me lose faith that I can’t do this myself. I’m looking forward to this journey, but I reeeeally need help going through this path. I’d rly love it if any of u could give me advice and just take me a couple of steps higher. Hail Satan!
Hello my little devils,
As the title say, I just moved to a rental townhouse and I really want to put my flag hanging on my second floor window outside. Now, ive never done it before but I moved to a pretty religious town (Ephrata, PA) but with all the political bs thats going on nowadays, I really feel like I should unapologetically be myself and be more vocal since all Idiots in America feel like they can do it, I feel like now more than ever its my duty to be loud too. Can I get in trouble with my rental company? Also it makes me feel warm inside that it might piss some neighbors off and possibly make some satanic friends. Anyone had a problem with their rental company before in this subject?
Thank you!
I know that a lot of people join religions or turn to religion for guidance in their life if they are going through a rough patch or feeling lost. Is it the same for yall. I think TST's principles make sense but I'm not really "looking for guidance" or feel the need to find a religion. I know that satanism is an anti religion but I'm using the term religion bc I'm not really sure what other terms to use. How did you know that you were a satanist and not just an atheist.
