The Satanic Temple

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!

Sorry for the quick post and then delete. Uploading through Jerboa rotated the image for some reason!

It's an issue with Lemmy and the way it imports images.

Yeah, I don't think Jerboa respects image orientation metadata and I believe it's a proper bug because I saw another user mention the same thing. I asked them to submit an issue on GitHub, but I don't know if they did or not. I'll double check.

Cute Baphomet!

Love it! Where'd you get it?

He'll pop up if you search "Baphoboo" (lol) on Amazon. I think there were a few different listings last I checked.

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.
