At Student’s Request, Satanists Plan Invocation at Bremerton High School Alongside Christian Coach

[div class="excerpt" style="margin-left:1em; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius:0.4615em; box-shadow:3px 3px 3px #999999;"]***Update***: The Satanic Temple gave me more information on what the invocation will look like:

We’re going to be in black robes, heads covered like Sith Lords. If Joe Kennedy starts to pray, we will begin our solemn march accompanied by a gong to the 50 yard line in a V-formation, with Lilith in front. She will have an incense burner in each extended arm. When we get to the 50 yard line, she hands the incense off to people behind her and begins the invocation… With each sentence the gong will ring.

The invocation will likely end with a repeating “Ava Satanas!” (Hail Satan) lead by Lilith.

We encourage any student or attendee to wear black to show solidarity.



The other day, I posted about how the Satanic Temple chapter in Seattle had offered to deliver a post-game invocation at Bremerton High School, where assistant football coach Joe Kennedy has said he won’t stop praying on the field.

The Satanists weren’t going to show up out of nowhere, though. They were only going to come if someone wanted them there.

Well, guess what? A student made that request.

You know, I gotta love the Satanic Temple people who have been making news lately, love the theatrics and the activism.

Most Christian services are so stuffy and, for lack of a better term, prude.
