Fairly sure they do deal with him
beyond representing the left hand or vamacara path as well as the right hand or daksinicara path
I doubt loopy could breakdown the symbolism of baphomet let alone an o9a nigger
yeah they do all sorts of shit peridot that doesn't mean they understand what they're doing beyond liking the aesthetic
this is a commonality throughout the occult world though, don't worry
@sky daddy Baphomet in the lens of The Satanic Temple is used as a representation of the human spirit and its connection to the ethereal/supernatural, it having both masculine and feminine physical features, along with classical demonic features like the goat head and hooves, more than anything because The Satanic Temple gets off on making ultra conservative christians as mad as possible and being so edgy that you basically need to get a few cuts on your skin when you read their literature
I like colors
@Shane people always connect satan to 'selling your soul' is there anything true about that
And yeah laveyan satanism is autistic
Uhhhh
that's ironically closer to the truth than I would have guessed
In my experience, souls can be sold
But again, in my beliefs, Satan is not a real entity
most satanists I've talked to just think baphomet is the literal underground red devil with a pitchfork
Religion in itself
@Shane thats the issue. They use it as a symbol cuz they think theyre pissing off christians while using a green man/pan archetypr
Soul, sold
Soldier
actually baphomet is pretty close to a green man archetype
it's just representative of a specifically atziluthic influence coming into that
Baphomet IS a green man archetypr
I didn't say they were the perfect form of satanism, just the best one thats taken seriously
I thought you were arguing against that, my bad
misread
but yeah it is
has different connotations than the green man, but they're roughly similar
Words are keys
Baphomet is pan and by extension the green man or inanna
Ishtar
Pan
right but each of those while being representative of very similar forces or currents are not entirely the same thing
Satanic Temple> (Laveyan) Church of Satan > Whatever satan the edgy pagans and wiccans pretend they talk to > Just randomly killing animals as sacrifices > Schizo satanism> Polar anti-christian satanism
the way that babalon and barbelo are very similar but not the same at all
dont bring my fucking gods into this
Leave em alone
in terms of effect or symbology
Using baphomet to piss off christians is a moot point cuz christians use baphomet all the time
that is accurate
“My”
yeah
