'''[[Hathor]]''' (Ancient Egyptian: ''ḥwt-ḥr'') was a major goddess in ancient [[Egyptian religion]] who played a wide variety of roles. As a sky deity, she was the mother or consort of the sky god [[Horus]] and the sun god [[Ra]], both of whom were connected with kingship, and thus she was the symbolic mother of their earthly representatives, the pharaohs.  
The '''[[Satanic Temple]]''' opened its official headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts, in 2016. The former Victorian funeral home is painted charcoal and doubles as the Salem Art Gallery.


More temples were dedicated to Hathor than to any other Egyptian goddess. During the Old Kingdom her most important center of worship was in the region of Memphis, where "Hathor of the Sycamore" was worshipped at many sites throughout the Memphite Necropolis. During the New Kingdom era, the temple of Hathor of the Southern Sycamore was her main temple in Memphis. At that site she was described as the daughter of the city's main deity, [[Ptah]].
The '''Satanic Temple''' is a nontheistic religious and human rights group based in the United States, with additional chapters in Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom. The group uses [[Satan]]ic imagery to promote egalitarianism, social justice, and the separation of church and state, supporting their mission "to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people." The organization's participation in public affairs includes political actions as well as lobbying efforts, with a focus on exposing [[Christianity|Christian]] privilege when it interferes with personal religious freedom.

The Satanic Temple opened its official headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts, in 2016. The former Victorian funeral home is painted charcoal and doubles as the Salem Art Gallery.

The Satanic Temple is a nontheistic religious and human rights group based in the United States, with additional chapters in Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom. The group uses Satanic imagery to promote egalitarianism, social justice, and the separation of church and state, supporting their mission "to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people." The organization's participation in public affairs includes political actions as well as lobbying efforts, with a focus on exposing Christian privilege when it interferes with personal religious freedom.
