The Satanic Temple, which proclaims itself to be the world's largest satanic organisation, opened its new international headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts on Friday. Artists Mark Porter and Chris P. Andres showcased some of their works at the Satanic Temple headquarters.
An exhibition of satanic sculptures and art was set up for the occasion, including a monument of Baphomet - which the organisation describes as "part man, part animal, points above, points below, the legs are crossed, upright pentagram on head, inverse pentagram behind the head, and the Caduceus on the lap representing balance and reconciliation."
The Baphomet statue was reportedly built by the organisation as a donation to the Oklahoma State Capitol. The Temple reportedly had intended to erect the 7.5-foot (2.3m) bronze, goat-headed satanic statue on the grounds of the Oklahoma State Capitol in response to a monument containing the Ten Commandment, but dropped the idea after Oklahoma authorities removed the latter.
In August, around 1,000 Christians also performed a pray-in protest in Oklahoma City after the Satanic Temple members conducted a mass in a city building.
