The wife of SLIPKNOT frontman, Corey Taylor, Alicia Taylor, recently shared a captivating Instagram post. This post, unlike their usual shared photographs, piqued interest due to its location and the caption’s content.
The post’s geolocation revealed it was taken at the Satanic Temple in Salem, Massachusetts. The photograph captured Corey and Alicia, each seated on individual chairs in a room with a haunting gothic aesthetic.
Intriguingly, Alicia included the Satanic Temple’s “Seven Tenets” in her post, outlining the guiding principles of the organization:
I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.
V
Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.
VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
Of course, it’s absolutely possible that Corey was just accompanying Alicia on a visit to the Temple. Alicia previously mentioned that Corey was in Boston, Massachusetts for a performance, a location relatively close to Salem.
