postmodern Satanism

Appendix 2: The Postmodern PentagramThe postmodern pentagram (above) replaces the traditionalSatanic pentagram as the most communicative symbol of the Path.There are several differences of note, consider the traditional“Baphomet Pentagram” which has been popularized by the Churchof Satan:There are three things to observe: the double circle, theHebrew letters, and the goat’s head. The double circle indicates abinding, which when combined with the Hebrew name “Leviathan”offers a symbol of constrained and limited ideology. The goat’s head(typifying many interconnected symbols related to the Scapegoat ofthe book of Leviticus) adds further degrees of limitation, and appearsto be trapped or imprisoned within the pentagram. This particularpentagram, through an accretion of symbolisms, has become bothunwieldy and constraining. It has collected a variety ofcategorizations of Satanism together into a symbolic image whichrepresents stagnation, medieval mentalities, and false ideologies.
