Satanic/Occult Symbols and Their Meanings

Symbols represent strong presence in and/or authority over the item/person to which they are attached. Just like churches affix crosses to their steeple as a demonstration of Jesus’ Lordship over them, Nazis fly a Nazi flag over their homes or sport the emblem as an accessory indicating an allegiance/submission to all things Nazi.

While the symbols listed do have ties to occult/satanic practices, it is also important to know that some have been hi-jacked. As Christians it is our obligation to properly discern the message communicated by various symbols. God would not have us ignorant to the enemy or his devices (II Cor 2:11).

Symbol Meaning 1 All-seeing eye, eye of Horus: occult followers actually claim that the story of Christ (immaculate conception) is a ‘rip-off ‘of Horus’ birth.

In Freemasonry (Masonic Temples), this is a key symbol - a poor imitation meant to represent the all-seeing, all- knowing God.

Note: In Freemasonry, Masons refer to The Great Architect. Most assume this to be God. However, the Masons do not require their members to name the god they worship. Members are free to worship any god they choose…including Satan.

Many celebrities pay tribute to Horus by posing with a pyramid symbol over one eye while the other remains exposed. 2 Luciferian eye: In occult circles this symbolizes Lucifer. The diamond pictured below the eye is a tear that is shed for all those outside of his influence.

3 Pyramid: A key symbol in/or freemasonry and reportedly the illuminati is the pyramid - specifically when depicted with the separated capstone. In these circles, the all seeing eye is thought to refer to a ‘great divide’ among people. Each level/step of the pyramid represents a socio- economic class and its influence as well as affluence. The capstone with the eye then represents the most ‘elite’ and their self-purported elevation over the rest of mankind.

4 Lightning bolt: Satanic worshippers identify this as ‘777’ famed by Aleister Crowley who wrote the guide to witchcraft and satanic worship. Crowley so hated God that he named himself ‘777’ (666 was already taken). Crowley’s instruction to his followers was that they learn to speak, write, walk backwards as a means to open themselves to hear from the demonic realm

5 Alchemy 1: A composition of various geometric shapes encompassed in a ‘magical’ circle. The shapes allegedly represent various elements and astrological signs key in performing magic including attainment of physical training, spiritual illumination and immortality.

Alchemy 2: The same as Alchemy 1. The inclusion though of the cross and Bindu (circle with a dot) have exceptionally strong ties to occult practices. Often because of its extreme relevance in Christianity, the cross is included in satanic and occult practices as a point of mockery.

6 Bindu: Circle with a dot in the center; represents the sun, Egyptian ‘sun god’ (Ra), an archangel named Kaballah, emotional restraint and divine consciousness of a universal god. Those who practice Bindu rituals see themselves as co-creators (of themselves and the universe) merged with this universal god and one another. The dot in the circle is said to represent the merging of female and male power.

Earth-centric cults see the circle as a sacred space. This representation is also depicted as a serpent eating its own tail. Worshipped by many earth-centric and pagan cults, the serpent represented re-birth…primarily because of its molting (shedding old skin). It is said to also represent the life force of females.

7 Broken cross/Cross of Nero: Considered by some to be a peace sign, it is used in satanic circles as an open demonstration of rejecting Christ. Satan worshippers are commonly given crosses; instructed to turn the cross upside down and break the arms to show their disdain for Christ and loyalty to Satan. This symbol appears on the graves of some of Hitler’s soldiers.

The upside down cross is also a symbol of rejecting/mocking Christ. Revised May 2018

8 Evil Eye: The evil eye is a curse believed to be cast by a malevolent glare, usually given to a person when they are unaware. Many cultures believe that receiving the evil eye will cause misfortune or injury. (Wikipedia) The “evil eye” sold as jewelry, decorations, etc. was created to protect against the evil eye or evil spirits.

9 Tao/Yin-Yang: ancient Chinese symbol used to convey a widespread belief in unity, magic, polarity and holism. It represents monism (all is one) and pantheism (all is God).

Note: This is an exceptionally popular symbol in tattooing and apparel. 10 Anarchy: Symbol refers to breaking all rules. Satanists wear the symbol in support of their mantra (‘do what thou wilst’) which was derived by Aleister Crowley, an occultist. Note: Jay-Z’s clothing line features a sweatshirt that reads, “Do as thou wilt.”

The anarchy smbol is often ‘sported’ by Criss Angel- a magician who is known for levitating among other dark practices. He is pictured to the left. Notice the “A” in the background and the flashing of the pyramid hand symbol.

11 Star and Crescent: Key symbol in Islam. In cultic circles represents witchcraft and Satan. The moon is in tribute to the moon goddess Diana. The star represents the ‘son of the morning’ (lucifer). Witchcraft depicts the symbol as seen here. Satanists reverse the image. Nation of Islam Flag

12 Italian Horn: Also known as Satan’s tooth. This is thought to be a symbol of good luck by some cults. By others it is thought to represent that ‘Satan will take care of your finances.’ 13 Ankh: Represents fertility rituals and the build-up of lust. The opening represents the female productive organ and the stem, the male’s. The bar represents the (unholy) union of the two Revised May 2018

14 Inverted pentagram: Used in cultic and satanic rituals to conjure up evil spirits. It is important to note that with ‘2 points up’ this symbol is typically tied to Satanism.

Baphomet: A goat face in an inverted pentagram. This is specifically tied to satan/demon worship. Unaware of its ties, many people ‘sport’ a baphomet as part of their accessories. (Jewelry and belt buckles are most common.)

15 Satanic ‘s’: Presents as a ‘lightning bolt.’ When kicked out of Heaven, Lucifer fell to the earth as a lightning bolt. In satanic circles, this symbol represents ‘the destroyer’. This ‘s’ has also been used by the Nazi Germany ‘SS’ police as well as the once popular 70s-80s heavy metal ban, Kiss.

16 Scarab Beetle: Egyptian symbol of reincarnation. Also considered a symbol of Beelzebub (lord of the flies). Worn as apparel in satanic worship circles to represent satanic power and protection. 17 satanic crosses: A. Cross with upside down question mark: Questions the deity of God -symbolizes complete power under Lucifer A B B. Worn by Aleister Crowley (occultist) and Albert Pike

(founder of the masons’ 33rd degree) C. Upside down cross with pentagram C D D. Variation of the alchemical symbol for sulfur, which represents fire and brimstone. The sulfur symbol was placed above the nine satanic statements in the LaVeyan satanic bible. Note: Anton LaVey is the founder of the Church of Satan and author of the satanic bible.

If you are in doubt about a symbol, do not use it. You can do an internet search for occult symbols to see if you find it. As Christians we must be sober. We should not wear or in any way display symbols that do not glorify God.
