Follow the Seven Tenets of The Satanic Temple. Posted at the FAQ of this subreddit as well as on TST's website. You can find the page with them here.
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.

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!
Hope this pleases you.
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 🤘🏻
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.
So just curious does everyone celebrate thanksgiving? Or does anyone do anything different either on their own or with other tst family/friends? Just looking for ideas of things we could do aside from the regular. My fiance and I and our kid really only have a thanksgiving dinner cause I love cooking lol plus most of my family has stopped having dinners and it's getting a little awkward standing their while everyone prays.
Needing some Type O today, what's everyone else getting into?
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.
Does anyone else excuse themselves from the table when people want to pray?
I haven't gotten any sleep because of the fact that Trump won the election and also because of Bill cipher is watching me and then my ADHD kicks in, and then something in my mind I just realized something and I have questions is Donald trump from Austria because if not then America is fucked but if he is from Austria then the world is fucked
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 >_<
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!!
Where can I find Satanic “Bibles” and/or Philosophy-books?
What can I do to officially start practicing satanism?
Where can I find satanic jewelry?
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!
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 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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.

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!! ^^
