Satanic Temple opens abortion clinic in Virginia for its 'destruction ritual'



After helping kill over 100 unborn babies in New Mexico at an average cost of $91 per head, the Satanic Temple has expanded its abortion enterprise to Virginia.

The anti-Christian group, based in Massachusetts, announced on Saturday that it is now offering expectant mothers in the Old Dominion telehealth abortion services and possible travel assistance, noting that patients need only cover the cost of the abortifacient from its California-based partner pharmacy.

While co-founder Lucien Greaves and other proponents of the radical group deny actually worshipping demonic forces — indicating that theirs is effectively an atheistic leftist organization wearing the skin of a satanic cult that just happens to erect statues of Baphomet around Christmastime — the Virginia death dispensary, like the Temple's "Samuel Alito's Mom's Satanic Abortion Clinic" in New Mexico, blurs the lines between role-play and the real thing.

'The ritual, which includes the abortion itself, spans the entirety of the pregnancy termination procedure.'

For women seeking to snuff out the life growing inside them, the Satanic Temple offers an "abortion ritual," which it describes as a "destructive ritual that serves as a protective rite."

The stated purpose of this death ritual is to "cast off notions of guilt, shame and mental discomfort" associated with the extermination of innocent life and to altogether affirm the choice.

"TST's abortion ritual can be performed to address definable concerns or to overcome unproductive feelings," says the ritual guideline. "The ritual, which includes the abortion itself, spans the entirety of the pregnancy termination procedure. There are steps to be performed before, during, and after the medical or surgical abortion."

The radical group makes repeated mention of individual rights and "scientific reasoning" on its site, suggesting that in the case of individual rights, "one's body is inviolable, subject to one's own will alone," and in the case of scientific reasoning that "beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world."

However, such statements amount to little more than a rhetorical smokescreen. After all, the Satanic Temple appears keen to overlook the rights of the unborn as well as the scientific reasoning concerning fetal pain, fetal cognitive function, and the separate genetic identity of the unborn child.

'The Satanic Temple's ultimate goal is to undermine Christ's kingdom.'

Erin Helian, the executive director of the Satanic Temple, told the Christian Post that the Virginia death dispensary — which deals in the kind of dangerous chemical abortion pills that effectively killed Amber Thurman in 2022 — was made possible in part by the funding of donors.

The Satanic Temple has been chasing after donations of $66.60 for its burgeoning abortion enterprise.

"As abortion rights continue to be a central issue in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, we remain steadfast in our mission to expand access and protect bodily autonomy," the radical group noted in a release. "We will not stop until we have made a lasting difference."

Helping American women abort their children is not the Satanic Temple's only preoccupation, although it has certainly made a habit of challenging pro-life legislation.

The radical group has also distributed satanic literature to children; publicly performed "unbaptisms"; held a demonization ceremony in protest of the canonization of the Catholic Spanish priest Junípero Serra; promoted euthanasia and pornography; and erected demon statues on government property.

Blaze News' Kevin Ryan recently noted that despite its members' denial, the Satanic Temple's "devotion to Satan — a mythological character, they say — is unmistakable."

"If they were truly godless, they wouldn't fixate so obsessively on Christianity. The Satanic Temple's ultimate goal is to undermine Christ's kingdom," wrote Ryan.

"The Satanic Temple and other movements that promote abortion rights in the name of autonomy are in fact beholden to an anti-freedom," added Ryan. "Christians know that Satan cannot create life — he only destroys. He may offer seductive ideas cloaked in equality or liberty, but his goal is always to eradicate the value of human life, which stands at the core of God's creation."

Is yoga demonic? Exorcist’s major warning for ALL Christians



Yoga is aimed at young women as a healthy wellness trend — but is it as harmless as it seems?

Msgr. Stephen J. Rossetti doesn’t believe it is.

“Some exorcists would say you shouldn’t even get near it,” he tells Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show,” adding, “I’d steer clear.”

“There are lots of different ways to stretch than to do that, and I’ve just seen the evil results of those who really get into the yoga thing,” Rossetti continues.



Wheeler used to herself believe that yoga was harmless, but has since pivoted from that belief.

“I changed my mind on this personally. I used to think, ‘Oh, if you’re just stretching, like, who cares, it’s just a stretch,’ and then I realized maybe it’s the near occasion of evil that’s best to be avoided so that it doesn’t become tempting,” she admits.

The danger of yoga is heightened in the Kundalini version, where some of those who partake have even experienced paranormal events following the yoga practice.

But how do you fix it if this happens to you?

“You pray about it,” he says.

Taxpayer-subsidized art center in Minnesota holds 'playful demon summoning session' for families



A contemporary art museum in Minneapolis, which has received millions in taxpayer funds, invited families earlier this month to "participate in a playful ceremony to summon and befriend their demon."

The Walker Art Center, which Alpha News indicated has enjoyed funding from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, advertised demon-summoning activities from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Aug. 5 at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.

"Demons have a bad reputation, but maybe we're just not very good at getting to know them," said the event listing on the art center's website. "Do you have a demon that creeps into your thoughts? ... Work with visiting artist Tamar Ettun to design a vessel for holding the demon you know best!"

Tamar Ettun, a so-called performance artist who refers to herself as a sexual plurality, seeks through the ongoing "multidisciplinary project" she brought to the art center to conjure the "aerial spirit demon, Lilit (Lilith), whose story traces back to ancient Sumerian, Akkadian, and Judaic mythology."

The seeming occultist writes on her website, "In the 2nd-7th centuries, artist-healers created spells, drawings, and talismanic objects to trap demons like Lilit, who was characterized as a dangerously sexual female entity, and appeared frequently on incantation bowls used in protective rituals. The rituals were often performed by womxn concerened [sic] with medical issues like pregnancy and birth. I revive these practices through a feminist lens by subverting Lilit’s misogynistic archetype and revamping her image as an Empathic Demon."

To this end, she takes on the "persona of Lilit and, through text messages, interact[s] with several hundreds of people every month ... who frequently write her back with snippets about their lives and demons."

Having adopted the persona of the ancient demon who she acknowledges is associated with "unchecked violence and manipulation" and who first "came to her" after she learned she was pregnant, Ettun then provides instructions to her occultist pen pals that "lead to offline actions, such as an exercise that leads participants to find something in their home shaped like a full moon, and use it to draw on their body."

Beyond fielding questions on behalf of the demon, earlier this summer, Ettun raised inflated sculptures in the demon's honor outside Vermont's Shelburne Museum.

It does not appear that her exhibits are entirely bloodless. Her previous display at an art college in Purchase, New York, appears to have involved imagery of her burying another woman's placenta.

Following the instruction of children and adults on how to construct a "vessel" to hold their demons earlier this month, the Walker Art Center indicated, "Lilit the Empathic Demon will come from the dark side of the moon to lead you in locating your feelings using ancient Babylonian techniques. This collective and playful demon summoning session will conclude with a somatic movement meditation, designed to help you befriend your shadows."

Besides demon summoning, it appears Minnesota taxpayers have subsidized a number of other questionable activities.

Alpha News previously reported that as of 2021, Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, which has supported the demon-friendly Walker Arts Center, had spent over $630 million on leftist groups and propaganda, including an adaptation of the "Sleeping Beauty" fairy tale "collaboratively re-imagined through a queer lens"; an anti-police documentary; a group that supports transvestic agitprop in film; a theater company's production of "queer and trans stories"; "Drag Story Hour in Minneapolis"; and a production called "Queertopia."

Cyborg sex changes? New BlazeTV show to explore the effects tech is having on our minds — and our souls



Has the apocalypse already happened?

From brain chips and death pods to cyborg sex changes, it’s hard not to get the sense that we’re living in a dystopia when you see the “advances” that are being made in technology.

But have no fear — author and infamous tech-theorist James Poulos is launching a brand new show with BlazeTV this Sunday at 7 p.m. EST to help you make sense of it all.

Each Sunday on "Zero Hour," Poulos will be bringing you insightful conversations with some of the most interesting thinkers in politics, tech, and culture to explore the effects technology is having on our sense of humanity.

For a taste of the kind of meaningful conversations you can expect from Poulos, check out his appearance on a recent episode of "The Chad Prather Show."

The two discuss how Silicon Valley promised us that technology would usher in a utopia but has instead delivered a waking nightmare.

“We’re building this box,” Poulos says at one point, “that can summon things that, you know, we like to flatter ourselves we can control.”

However, rather than controlling this “box” that offers us “divine creative power,” the opposite happens. It begins to control us.

“We become enslaved to it,” Poulos warns.

“Just the way that adults, doctors, parents are doing these things to their children, turning them into monsters, it is a force much more powerful and much more diabolical than they’re willing to believe.”

If you’re curious to learn more — like how to combat the evil seeping into our human lives via AI — then "Zero Hour with James Poulos" is for you.

So, take out your artificially intelligent computer or smart phone this Sunday at 7 p.m. EST and head over to the BlazeTV YouTube channel for the premiere.

And don’t be late — AI sees all.
