The video, which has sparked considerable controversy, was released by the independent media outlet, the Oklahoma Lion.
According to WND, the video's caption reads, "An unnamed Tulsa City Council Member invited a 'priestess of the goddess' to say what some are calling a 'satanic prayer' at the Nov. 20th Tulsa City Council meeting." The footage shows Tulsa City Councilmember Crista Patrick actively participating in the invocation, her hands raised in apparent reverence.
However, it remains unclear whether Patrick was the one who extended the invitation to the woman. Patrick, who self-identifies as a "healer" of "wounded spirits" on her official Tulsa Council page, has yet to confirm or deny these allegations. This incident has raised questions about the appropriateness of such religious expressions in a governmental setting, particularly when they deviate from traditional Judeo-Christian norms.
