WASHINGTON – The United States (US) is rumored to be hosting a satanic cult meeting at the end of April 2023. The plan is for this meeting to be held in Boston.
The activity called SatanCon 2023 takes place in order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Satanic Temple or Satan’s Temple.
TST or The Satanic Temple is the main satanic worship organization in the world which has members from various countries.
Launching its official website, this organization wants to preserve the views of individual freedom and secularism.
Before this organization was founded in 2012, another organization that existed earlier and was well-known was the Church of Satan.

The Church of Satan organization was founded by Anton Szandor LaVey in the 1960s. The existence of the Church of Satan opposes the campaigns and activities of the Satanic Temple, while the Temple of Satan rejects the Church of Satan as irrelevant.
Quoting Insider, Satan’s Temple received recognition from the US government as a tax-free organized religion in 2013. It is based in Salem, Massachusetts and has branches throughout the US and the world.
TST has already openly confronted hate groups. Its members are also working to abolish the policy of corporal punishment in schools.
Broadly speaking, TST’s mission is to reject tyrannical authority, oppose injustice, and promote kindness and empathy.
