Speramus Meliora
Ritual, 2020
Shiva Honey, The Satanic Temple West Michigan
Speramus Meliora was a ritual created by Shiva Honey that brought Satanists together from around the world to cast away what no longer served them in 2020. Satanists from around the globe watched Shiva’s guided ritual video at home and submitted their ritual offerings digitally, making it one of the largest Satanic rituals in history. The Satanic Temple West Michigan wrote each offering on parchment paper and stuffed them inside their Yule Goat, which resided for several days at Michigan’s capitol building in Lansing beginning on the Winter Solstice. After the Yule Goat’s stay in Lansing, the goat and the offerings were ceremoniously burned in a final ritual, freeing the participants from their burdens. This is the recording of the final ritual.
