After begging legislators in Washington state to give them an opportunity to open the legislature in a satanic prayer, the Washington Chapter of the Satanic Temple, they were given permission instead to perform a bizarre ritual on the steps of the capitol.
Their statement reads, “The Satanic Temple of Washington has received final approval from the state to perform an infernal ritual Friday, March 6, on the Capitol Building grounds in Olympia.
We now invite fellow Satanists and allies of religious pluralism to come join our unholy invocation event.”
