Satanic Temple Statue among Christmas
Displays at Illinois Capitol
A satanic display stands on one side of a Christmas tree, a Nativity set on the other
Entitled “Snaketivity”, the display depicts a snake wrapped around a woman’s hand as she holds an apple. On the side of the sculpture is the logo of the Satanic Temple – the head of Baphomet inside an inverted pentagram – and the words “Knowledge is the Greatest Gift.”
The symbolism of this sculpture refers to the book of Genesis and goes to the very core of Luciferian philosophy. It represents Eve grabbing the “forbidden fruit” of knowledge that was given to her by Lucifer, who took the form of a serpent. Lucifer told Eve that biting the fruit would allow Adam and herself to become “like gods, knowing good and evil.” This is known as the “original sin” that caused God to expel Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden.
The display honors 'Knowledge,'
that is, the Greek Gnosis
Despite the very biblical meaning of its display, the Satanic Temple insists that its goal is not about proselytizing for its own religion. Next to the sculpture, the Satanic Temple also installed an inscription saying: “Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds.”
In a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for the sculpture, the Satanic Temple wrote:
“The Satanic Temple-Chicago will no longer allow one religious perspective to dominate the discourse in the Illinois State Capitol rotunda during the holiday season. … Please consider what you may do to help us bring Satan to Springfield!”
Another sign near the sculpture contains a disclaimer from the State:
“The State of Illinois is required by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution to allow temporary, public displays in the State Capitol so long as these displays are not paid for by taxpayer dollars.
“Because the first floor of the Capitol Rotunda is a public place, state officials cannot legally censor the content of speech or displays. The United States Supreme Court has held that public officials may legally impose reasonable time, place and manner restrictions regarding displays and speeches, but no regulation can be based on the content of the speech.”
In 2014, the Satanic Temple installed a “holiday” display in front of the Michigan Capitol. Next to the display was a warning to potential vandals.
This is not the first PR stunt conducted by the Satanic Temple. And, every time the Temple does something, media sources make sure to emphasize that the Satanic Temple is “not a group of devil worshipers, but liberal political activists who oppose the increasing influence of the religious right in American politics.”
However, despite its venerable speeches about its “principles” and “separating Church and State,” all it actually accomplishes is having Satanic stuff put on display in public spaces. Here are some examples of its stunts.
In 2015, the Satanic Temple unveiled a massive statue of Baphomet in Detroit in what was dubbed “the largest satanic event in history”.
The unveiling took place in an industrial building near Detroit River after attempts to have the Baphomet sculpture installed at the Oklahoma State Capitol failed. Entry to the venue required guests to sign a contract “selling their souls to the Devil.” The proceeds from the event went to support abortion rights – one of the Temple’s favorite causes.
After School Satan program is already operating in cities across the US
The Satanic Temple is also working on other projects. The West Michigan Friends of The Satanic Temple are currently raising money on a GoFundMe page to bring their own “Satanic holiday monument” to the Michigan State Capitol.
“The concept is a clean, bold shape of the Baphomet head as a star with solar LED lights shining up from the base for striking shadow and light, a flickering light emanating from the flame of universal balance will make the lines between them dance. A nearly complete halo will connect the horns and ears but stop at the bottom to represent the inherent imperfection of the material form but also allowing the mouth of Baphomet to interact with the base to indicate the sharing of worldly knowledge.”
Although media love to say that the Satanic Temple is about “science” and “rationality,” the fact remains that it did not advance any of these causes throughout the years. The only thing the Satanic Temple actually managed to accomplish is fully on-par with the elite’s agenda described on this site: To normalize Satanism and its symbolism in the public space while making it appealing to the masses.
