Supporters of Satan are alarmingly persistent.

On Monday, the Satanic Temple unveiled its latest display at the Michigan State Capitol of a ‘Yule Goat’ featuring a medallion from the Satanic Temple of West Michigan.

“TST members across Michigan united to create their State Capitol holiday display,” the social media post announced. “Stop by the Capitol to view our Michigan congregations’ display!”

A spokesperson for the Satanic Temple told The Daily Caller that the goat was “inspired by the Scandinavian Yule (and later Christmas) tradition of the Yule Goat, or Julbocken.”

“Many of our members in Michigan observe the Yule holiday as well as the Satanic holiday of Sol Invictus, and Satanism has historically used goat symbolism, making this a perfect fit for our holiday display,” they explained.

“Our display serves as an expression of religious pluralism and a celebration of diversity throughout our state.”

Former State Senator Rick Jones said the display is really about mocking Christianity, given its close proximity to the Nativity scene.

Is this done simply to taunt Christians?

“I do feel, however, this Satanic Temple group doesn’t really have a holiday they’re celebrating, they’re just doing it to taunt Christians,” he said, according to Michigan News. “My advice to everyone is to simply ignore them.”

The latest display was put up just days after a Christian military veteran, Michael Cassidy, beheaded another satanic monument on display at the Iowa State Capitol.

Cassidy is now facing a charge of fourth-degree criminal mischief, although prominent conservatives including Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk have already pledged to financially support his legal defense.

“It just struck me as wrong for something like that to be in that government building,” Cassidy later explained in an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

“I’m American and I love our country and I don’t like statues of Satan in our government buildings.”

Despite their seemingly wicked intentions, the Satanic Temple claims its mission is to fight against injustice.

According to the organization’s official website, its stated mission is to “encourage benevolence and empathy, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense, oppose injustice and undertake noble pursuits.”


Did you know that publishers everywhere are laying people off at Christmas? It’s not an accident or random. 

Big Tech is literally taking down every news media publisher possible, even the liberal ones, just so they can get rid of sites like The Western Journal once and for all.

They know that together, readers like you and publishers like us handed Donald Trump the victory in 2016. 

And, what’s worse, they know that if they hadn’t used COVID to change the rules in 2020, Trump would be in the White House right now. 

So their response is simple: Conservative publishers must die. And they’re doing their best to put us in the grave as I write this.

That means that more than ever, we depend on you and you alone. 

Will you join with us this Christmas and become a member of The Western Journal? During these days leading up to Christmas, we’re offering $10 off some of our most popular membership options.

If you want to stick it to Big Tech, start the new year with actual, factual news, or just support The Western Journal as we continue the fight for our country, please become a member today

Don’t wait. Time is critical, and Big Tech tightens the squeeze every single day. 

Thank you for reading The Western Journal!

Merry Christmas,
