The Satanic Temple: Think you know about Satanists? Maybe you don’t

Araceli Rojas, who flew from California to be here, finds the tenets relatable and easy to apply. “I feel like I’ve always been quote-unquote a Satanist, I just didn’t know it.” She says she first learned about TST through TikTok in 2020. “At that point I looked into it. A little scared, I think, like most would be. And I really wanted to make sure that they weren’t sacrificing babies! Then I started getting into the culture, and the scene, and I started to join meetings… and eventually I realised no, they’re not, it’s just a symbol that they use and it’s genuinely really good people.”
