"The Satanic Temple and their seven-and-a-half foot tall bronze statue of Baphomet is headed to Salem soon.
The mostly virtual group will open their first official headquarters in the Witch City on Friday, September 23.
The statue of the 1-ton, bronze, goat-headed idol is most known for the group's attempt to put it next to the 10 Commandments monument on public grounds in Arkansas or Oklahoma.
Lucien Greaves, co-founder of the Satanic Temple, said the statue will reside in Salem, until it can be placed next to the 10 Commandments monument or it's needed somewhere else. But that's not all the headquarters is about.
The Satanic Temple advocates for the separation of church and state. They don't view Satan as an evil figure, but one who dared question authority.
The headquarters will offer the Salem Art Gallery, which is a "permanent exhibition dedicated to 'Satanic Panic' witch-hunts past and present," according to their site.
