Yule Goat Trilogy
Ritual + Event, 2019
Shiva Honey, The C.O.I.N., Friends of The Satanic Temple Detroit, The Satanic Temple West Michigan
The Yule Goat Trilogy is a three part ritual series that took place in December 2019. The first part of the series - The Creation and Consecration of the goat - took place in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Here, the goat was created and consecrated in a Satanic blood orgy.
On the Winter Solstice, December 21st, members of West Michigan TST and Friends of TST Detroit erected the Yule Goat on the Michigan state Capitol lawn in Lansing. The group performed a ceremony to welcome the monument which would grace the Capitol until December 26th, 2019.
Finally, the goat arrived at The Devil’s Renaissance, a celebration of the accomplishments of modern Satanism as well as an opportunity to usher us into a new era - and the new decade. The event included cast of speakers including Matthew Kezhaya and Stu De Haan to speak on TST’s revolutionary legal work, Kym LaRoux to discuss developments within the International Council, and Lucien Greaves to provide a preview of TST’s vision for the next decade. The C.O.I.N created incredible visions and installations to the event, and Aaron Dilloway, Shan Beaste, and Deadlines to provided the soundtrack to the evening. The evening concluded with Speramus Meliora - an immersive Satanic ritual that Shiva created to usher in the New Satanic Aeon and the ritual burning of The Yule Goat.
