Biography

[edit]

Shiva Honey was a founding member of The Satanic Temple Detroit and The National Council (now International Council) of The Satanic Temple.[1][6] Shiva has been instrumental in organizing major events and rituals for TST, including The unveiling of the Statue of Baphomet and Snaketivity display.[6][8][9] Honey's contributions extend to the creation of ritual products for TST and her own line for Serpentīnae, emphasizing the importance of ritual in her Satanic practice.[1]

As a musician, Shiva Honey has been involved in projects that aim to provide a "soundtrack for the sacred Satanic experience." Her band Serpentīnae is noted for its dark, moody, and occult sound. Honey has also collaborated with the experimental industrial band Satanic Planet:[1] providing guest vocals on the tracks "Unbaptism" and "Exorcism" on Satanic Planet's debut album,[3][4] and performing with the band at the Indiana Statehouse.[5]

In 2021 Shiva won The Satanic Temple's Anatole France Award For Contemporary Satanic Literature for The Devil's Tome: A Book of Modern Satanic Ritual.[12]
