satancon 2022

The Satanic Temple organization has announced on social media that Boston, Massachusetts will play host to SatanCon 2023 at the end of April. This year’s meeting, which has been dubbed the “biggest Satanic gathering in history,” will mark the tenth anniversary of the Temple.

The convention website states that attendees to the “Hexennacht in Boston” on April 28 must wear “an N-95, KN-95, or disposable surgical mask.” There are still some missing elements, including the precise location in the “old downtown,” the agenda, or the speakers’ identities.

The Satanic Temple (TST), which held the first-ever SatanCon in Arizona last year, is relocating the occasion closer to Salem, which is home to TST’s global headquarters and is famous for its “witch trials” in the late 1600s. Around 2,500 people in the Boston region, according to the Temple, are its members.

Its stated purpose is to “promote compassion and empathy among all people, oppose authoritarian power, advocate practical common sense and fairness, and be driven by the human conscience to undertake noble goals,” despite the group’s denial that it genuinely believes in the devil.

Additionally, they have deemed abortion a basic religious freedom and claimed that any state legislation banning the procedure unfairly discriminate against their followers. The true Church of Satan slammed TST as “a political activist group who utilizes scandalous language to garner journalistic attention” after rising into the national limelight as a result of its lobbying in 2020.

The Temple is most known for suing municipal and state governments, alleging that their demands to perform satanic invocations or install satanic sculptures on public land were denied, on the grounds that this violated their right to exercise their religion. It requested Boston to display a flag outside the city hall during “Satan Appreciation Week” in July 2021, but the request was denied. In October of that year, the city changed its flag policy.

The Puritans, an austere Protestant faction that felt the Church of England was too close to the Roman Catholic Church it had departed from, were the ones who first built Boston and the Massachusetts colony.
