#inverted cross

Unholy Altar

I used to dislike the idea of it too but only because everyone around me was saying it was wrong and that’s dumb

Not so much with pentagrams. But a lot of the time I see people angry or annoyed about others who use the inverted cross to represent their satanism. Satanism varies between everyone who practices or believes it, first of all.

people talk about how it represents St. Peter’s cross, and that it represents believing you’re not worthy to bear the same cross as Jesus died on. That is a valid belief and youre allowed to think that, but some people invert the cross specifically to oppose Christianity and represent Satan, and worshipping the „enemy of Christians“. That is how I see it. though I don’t wear an inverted crosses or anymore, and I wear a pentagram now when I’m able to get my hands on one. Currently I don’t have one due to still having to live with my mom. Still, my opinion stands that people are allowed to interpret the inverted cross as satanic, just as much as they’re allowed to interpret it as the St. Peter’s cross. I feel that the pentagram represents my satanism best, but there is nothing wrong with using the inverted cross to represent your satanism if you feel it fits best.

I’ve seen people saying you shouldn’t use the pentagram because it represents Baphomet, not Satan. But pentagrams and other soggily are used in satanic practice, and Baphomet is very integrated in Satanic culture so I believe it is okay. And if there’s a symbol for Baphomet that we can’t use, what are we supposed to use? Luciferian symbols are for Luciferians, and they believe in a different deity from Satan, Lucifer, being their vessel for enlightenment or a better life, or a few other beliefs that don’t align with my own. So I unrepresentative my satanism with a pentagram or inverted star, even without the circle around it, because it feels most familiar to me.
