What They Don't Tell You About the Satanic Temple

Askia sits down with Io Locke, an ordained Minister of Satan from The Satanic Temple Austin, to cut through the noise on what Satanism actually is. From a Mormon farm in Oregon to leading a congregation in Austin, TX, Io breaks down the Seven Tenets, Baphomet, religious trauma, bodily autonomy, and why Christian nationalism is way more dangerous than anything The Satanic Temple is doing.

Io Locke doesn't worship the devil, they don't even believe in one. What they do believe in: empathy, science, personal sovereignty, and making the world better for everyone. This episode digs into the real story behind The Satanic Temple, from its origins fighting abortion bans in Texas to running food drives and menstrual product collections under the name "Menstruating with Satan."

Io walks through the difference between theistic and non-theistic Satanism, why the organization's name is intentionally provocative, and what the Baphomet statue is actually about. If you've ever been curious, or just wanted to argue at Thanksgiving, this one's required listening.
