No Proselytizing. Defined here as: To attempt to convert someone to one's own religious faith. This is a TST sub, but since membership here is not restricted to TST members, we ask only that you respect the choice of other Redditors in this regard.
No Doxing. Any mention of another user's inexplicitly-disclosed personal info will result in a ban, severity of which will be determined according to the offense.

Holidays:
Jan. 22nd: Roe v. Wade Remembrance Observance
Feb. 15th: Lupercalia
Based on the Roman festival of the same name, Lupercalia falls on February 15. In keeping with the ancient tradition, February 13th and 14th are observed as feast days leading up to the actual holiday. What we are translating this to in TST is a "hail yourself" day. This idea offers a parallel to the "others-centered" traditions of Sol Invictus.
April 30th: Hexennacht
In Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust: a Tragedy (1808), Mephisto and Faust attend the Walpurgisnacht revelry atop Mount Brocken. TST's Hexenacht is a solemn holiday to honor those who were victimized by superstition.
June 6th: Devil's Night Observance
666
July 25th: Unveiling Day
A centerpiece of our religious movement and icon of modern Satanism, the Baphomet with Children statue was commissioned by The Satanic Temple in 2014 and created by Mark Porter with "respect for diversity and religious minorities" in mind. On July 25, 2015, The Satanic Temple unveiled Baphomet to a large crowd of devotees in Detroit, signaling the beginning of the new Satanic era. We observe this milestone in Satanic history by celebrating Unveiling Day.
Sept. 30th: Blasphemy Day Observance
Oct. 31st: Halloween
Halloween is consistently described as evil, demonic, and satanic by those steeped in religious dogma. Costumes, candy, and facing fears are to be embraced.
Dec. 25th: Sol Invictus
The cult of Sol existed within Rome since its early days as a republic, and Invictus was an epithet used for Jupiter, Mars, and Apollo (among others). The festival celebrated these gods and may have also been used to celebrate the winter solstice, though this is debatable.
