Rules:
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.

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?
Hello. I'd like to share with you a song about Lilith - inserted on my "Luciferian Mass" album - which I believe it's appropriate considering the Black Moon that is upon us. Theistic or not theistic I hope enjoy it. Blessed Beast! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9VyTDXxJOuc
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.
im getting into satanism and I really want a satanic necklace to feel more connected to satan himself but does the necklace need to have the goat in it? or can it just be the upside down star ? I'm a beginner to this so I'm js rlly curious and I don't wanna do anything bad or wrong I'm genuinely curious !! thank you !! <3
I am in search of an ordained minister in LA area who can legally sign off on a marriage license on Fri 12/13/2024.
My partner and I have our marriage license. We are not planning to do a ceremony: this is purely for legal purposes.
The only thing we ask is for our dog-child to be present and that this happen on 12/13.
Any other tips or recommendations on doing non-traditional marriage would be greatly appreciated. We were thinking to go to the LA County Registrars Office, but I would be great to instead have my money endow someone who believes in removing belief in god from societal and interpersonal commitments. Not that this decision is about money- we just have no interest in feeding into the bloated economic schemes which are called weddings. My partner and I respect and admire the voluntary bonding of two people and have our own traditions and practices regarding our commitment, but this does not need to be more then signing off on a legal document. That being said: if someone is interested in officiating and wants to do their own thing that is wonderful as well: we are all for supporting it.
A man in San Antonio, TX has filed a federal lawsuit against the sheriff, claiming that the sheriff denied him a job after learning that the man's wife has a shrine to Santa Muerte in their home.
