I noticed there wasn't a TST Lemmy community. The Satanic Temple is a modern satanic religion that aims to promote human rights and compassion. Check out their about page on their official website at https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us. Note that this community is not an official affiliation. TST is also separate and not affiliated with the Church of Satan, who have a slightly different viewpoint of what satanism truly is. Dunno what to post in here, but maybe some will search for this and take part. Hello!

To be honest, there are a lot of these words and phrases associated with Baphomet that I have a great difficulty understanding. I feel like someone really needs to make an ELI5 with these, because for whatever reason my brain just can't pick them up...even with an article like this. Another one I have trouble with is the "as above so below" phrasing that is associated with Baphomet with the symbiology of its hand position. The only basic understanding I can make out of them is that they both seem to represent opposition and balance, as well as just generally referencing occult practices. But beyond that I struggle to understand the deeper meaning. I do appreciate Baphomet as a symbol of Satanism tho and so that's why I have the statue.
