Note: Many 'wicca'
participants are taught that satan is simply a relatively modern and
convenient invention of the Christian church. With that belief they
therefore reject the references to satan described below. That lie is
easily dealt with. The pre-Christian Old Testament mentions
satan nineteen times. Indeed, the ancient Hebrew manuscript of
Job, the oldest of the 66 'books' that make up the Bible
- and therefore written long,
long, long, before the Christian church emerged - mentions satan some 14 times.
Pentagram The five pointed star is an important symbol in magic representing earth, air, fire, water and spirit and is most commonly used by white witches.
Used by
Freemasonry and the Orange Order (More
details)
Inverted Pentagram The five-pointed star when inverted is associated with
'black' witchcraft and
satanism. It symbolizes the goat's head which represents satan (as
on the cover of the satanic bible) The two points up signify the horns
of baphomet and the three points down represent the Trinity. It is also a reverse of the
pentagram above as it signifies contempt for traditional spiritual and
occult values.
Hexagram One
of the most powerful symbols of the occult, it is used by witches to cast spells. (Not
to be confused with the star of David which has no circle around it - although there is a
school of thought which says that Israel will reject this occult based symbol when they
come to know Jesus as Lord - since this Jewish symbol became established at the time when
King Solomon was in disobedience to God, having married foreign wives and joined them in
pagan worship)
Cross of Nero Crow's
Foot or Broken Cross (inverted). This was the 'peace' symbol of the '60's
but today it is being used by some heavy metal fans and occultists to represent the defeat
of Christianity.
Swastika Or
Sun Wheel. It was an ancient religious symbol long before Hitler adopted it and it
was used in sun worship. Now it is a modern symbol of evil. Nazis used it counter
clockwise to depict movement away from the Godhead.
Anarchy Denial
of authority. Many adolescents use it to show contempt. It can often be seen at scenes of
vandalism where spray painted satanic graffiti appears on buildings.
Thaumaturgic Triangle Used for purposes such as spell casting or summoning up demons.
Satanists will often mark out a triangular area with symbols or 'powered' (cursed) items
to draw in demonic power. This area can be of any size in any area - with 'items' at the
three points.
Udjat All
seeing eye, sometimes called 'eye of Horus'. Used with minor variations in Nazism,
on dollar bills, in New Age, and in many occult based groups including Freemasonry.
Lightning Bolts Also referred to as the 'satanic s'. Used by Hitler's 'elite' and now popular
as symbols with some heavy metal groups
666 Number of
the 'great beast' or 'antichrist' in its various forms (Rev. 13:18) As 'F' is the
sixth letter of the alphabet it is sometimes used instead of a '6' These
symbols are common forms of tattoo used by occultists.
Ankh Egyptian
symbol of life, often associated with fertility. Popular symbol hung on
necklaces today.
Inverted Cross Sometimes
called 'Southern Cross' it symbolizes mockery and rejection of the Cross of Jesus Christ.
It is often seen in the form of earrings and necklaces
Black Mass Indicator Both symbols can be used to indicate a Black Mass where holy items are
defiled and illegal activities are performed - including the sacrifice of unbaptised
infants. (signs of satanic activity)
Cross of Confusion First used by Romans who questioned the truth of Christianity.
Church of satan Can be found in Aanton La Vey's satanic bible above the 'Nine satanic
statements' Many adolescents are using it in note books, graffiti and self made
tattoos.
Emblem of baphomet Strictly used by satanists and considered a demonic deity symbolic of the
devil. Note the inverted pentagram forms the goat head.
Point within the circle A symbol that came from Babylon where it symbolized the sun god Ra. It then
evolved from the serpent biting its tail - swallowing itself - and is the symbol of the
destructive. New age teachers say that the point refers to the supreme one, the god behind
all gods
Cross of baphomet This is the symbol of baphomet or mendes. It was worn by top occultists such
as satanist Albert Pike and appears on much Freemasonry 33rd degree note paper in slightly
modified form.
Adolescents also will write words, sentences and
sometimes entire letters backwards. Some typical examples below:
Natas / Satan
Nema / Amen
Redrum / Murder
Evil / Live
Mad dog / God dam
Susej / Jesus
Extracts
from The
Devil's web : Pat Puling & Kathy Cawthon : page 162 -166
The Pentagram takes many forms and is
used by New Agers, Freemasons, Ladies of the Order of the Eastern Star, the Mormon
Church, the Orange Order, satanic heavy metal bands, plus major occult groups such as the
Golden Dawn. Celtic priests called it the witch's foot. In the middle ages it
became known in Britain and Europe as the goblin's cross, the devil's sign and the
wizard's star. Among the Druids of Great Britain, it was the blasphemous sign of the
Godhead. Amongst the people of Babylon it was a magical charm. It is used
extensively in Black magic and can be used in three ways. The star may be broken at one
point by not permitting the converging lines to touch. It may be inverted by having one
point down and two up, or it may be distorted by having the points of varying lengths.
When used in Black magic, the pentagram is known as ' the sign of
the cloven hoof' or the footprint of the devil. The star with two points upward is
also called the 'Goat of Mendes' because the inverted star is the same shape as a goat's
head. When the upright star turns and the upper point falls to the bottom, it signifies
the fall of the Morning Star.
'Mystery mark of the New
Age' : Texe Marrs ; page 95
This list is by no means complete. New age has a long list of
symbols, as does Freemasonry. A useful reference book is 'Masonic
and occult symbols' by Dr.Cathy Burns (includes 728 illustration)
This is almost certainly the
adolescent end of the occult at work. Graffiti using unique
alphabet, pentagrams, upside down crosses, devil's tail and
reverse writing. Serious (usually generational) occultists are
not given to such blatant attempts to draw attention to
themselves.
