Statue of satan Unveiled in Detroit: Signs of Dark
Times, but God’s Light Trumps Darkness Every
Time
A crowd of several hundred gathered Saturday
night to see Detroit’s newest resident: A 9-foot,
2,000-pound statue of a goat-headed occult idol
named Baphomet.
The Satanic Temple unveiled the bronze figure to
an estimated 700 attendees at an undisclosed
location. The group’s initial venue canceled after
local religious groups protested.

The group’s approach to secrecy with the second
venue led to little opposition on Saturday, Director
of the Detroit Satanic Temple chapter and national
spokeswoman Jex Blackmore told Fox News.
“Protesters arrived for a short time at our first
ticketing location, but retreated after only about 30
minutes,” Blackmore said. “One woman attempted
to block the event entrance and was removed by
the police in cooperation with the building’s
owner. “
Guests were washed in red light shining down from
the rafters at the venue as “dark punk” bands
played and DJs performed from a stage located
beneath a lighted, upside-down crucifix. Satanic
Temple officials delivered speeches and a pair of
shirtless men held candles on either side of the
statue, prior to its unveiling.

Despite the dark pageantry, however, the Temple
says its concept of Lucifer is as a literary figure.
“The mission of The Satanic Temple is to
encourage benevolence and empathy among all
people,” the group’s website states.
The statue will now be stored out of public view
until the Temple can find it a permanent home. The
group hopes to display it at the Arkansas State
Capitol, next to a monument of the Ten
Commandments.
