The “Dark Side” does have cookies

By |

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — A famous internet meme tells people to come to the Dark Side because there are cookies. The Satanic Temple of Minneapolis (TST) turned that statement into reality when it hosted its 2nd Annual Bake Sale last Saturday. The bake sale is a fundraiser for the temple, and all money raised went to “combat fundamentalist legislation by supporting reproductive rights campaigns and [its] LGBT friends and family in [the] battle for separation of church and state.”

The event was held at Magus Books & Herbs, a metaphysical shop popular with local Pagans. Within 30 minutes of the start of the bake sale the line for vagina cupcakes and biracial brownies was all the way through the store.
