Hes best big bro

(Also bro baphomet is their thing i'm pretty sure)

I will say though that laveyan satanism is the right wing version of the autistic stuff in tst

nah baphomet is representative of tons of shit and isn't even satan

or the devil

or anything like that

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

Is a retarded concept

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
