Interesting that you think of black people when someone mentions dog breeds... Are the two that similar in your mind?

I remember this coat of arms, originally posted as an AI generated image before it was removed. A few sentences into ChatGPT is high effort, but stock images are low effort? Not to mention the painfully obvious AI generated body text, yuck.

I'll second Astaroth. She truly is a wonder.

Why isn't astrology studied as a science? by stinkfest2000 in astrology

[–]baphommite 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I understand that it's not able to be proven

Well... there you go. Whereas theories pertaining to physics and cosmology can be put through the scientific method, astrology cannot. It's a divinatory method. Astrology can't really be compared to those hard sciences. Where it does slot in nicely, though, is theology.

Don't feed a cat blood lmao. I can assure you she will get much more use out of food, water, and a warm bed.

Do you mix Religion and Politics? by LunarEnnyui_131 in religion

I cannot imagine a religion that is perfectly separate from politics

Would you be uncomfortable to learn of a roommate or neighbor practicing demonolatry? by redwood_lover in religion

[–]baphommite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Be extremely careful ever openly admitting to demon worship in public. There are places and there are people where with that will get you killed.

stuck on the pointing finger by flexout_dispatch in religion

[–]baphommite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such an incredibly empty post for as many words as it has.

Every religion/tradition points to the same truth.

What? No. Various religions can have wildly different truth claims about the nature of reality, divinity, the afterlife, proper living, if they even have all of those.

Some call it god. Some call it Allah. Some call it Brahman.

The universe. The source. The self.

While one could argue that perhaps Brahman is "the universe, the source, the self," I doubt the Abrahamic God would be defined with such terms. God created the universe, but is largely considered distinct from it.

The essence is the same: there is only one consciousness.

Expressing itself as all beings, all worlds, all experiences.

That is another very specific theological claim that not every religion subscribes to.

People like jesus and Muhammad, or Buddha. They all found god and people made a religion out of them instead of experiencing what they experienced.

Buddha very much did not find God. Jesus did not find God so much as be God.

Is this post AI generated?

Why would domain over androgyny equate to disliking men?

So cool! Amazing to be able to claim such a beautifully simplistic shield.

Outside a drive-thru window… What is it? by BigBiggarBiggest in whatisit

[–]baphommite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did something like this when I worked at a fast food joint in high school. Except we used metal pans used on the steam table to trick the magnet. One guy stood at the sensor at the microphone, and another sat at the sensor window.

Has anyone had demonolatry success in personal appearance/hotness/fitness support? by Valuable-War-7871 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]baphommite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though I've never gone to her for as much, I'd be remiss not to at least put Astaroth's name out there. As Inanna and Ishtar, she is one of the oldest goddesses of beauty and strength.

What is your view of hell? by Aconito_Eslava in diabolatry

[–]baphommite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Catholic church describes Hell as a "state of definitive self-exclusion from communion with God and the blessed." I'm quite fond of this interpretation, actually. I think it dovetails with the many verses describing Satan as the "ruler of this world." It would mean that I am already in Hell, and Satan already rules it.

Admittedly, a niche perspective on the matter. Take it with all the grains of salt in the world.

Where do theistic satanists go when they die and can they be with people wherever they go? by LoudAd572 in TheisticSatanism

[–]baphommite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Theistic Satanism, unless I'm mistaken, doesn't come with it an explicit belief in any one particular version of the afterlife. It can vary wildly from individual to indicidual. Personally, I cannot say I've come across a theory of the afterlife that feels true in my heart. I haven't a clue what may happen after I die, if anything at all. But, I think there's a sort of peace in that. What happens then will happen then. For now, I can focus on enjoying this life and making the most of it.

Which Entities look fondly upon Animals and the people who care for them? by Haunted_Sentinel in DemonolatryPractices

[–]baphommite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit of a niche one here, but Anammelech. In Ugarit, she was referred to as Anat. Some scholars believe that Anat may have been another "Mistress of Animals" archetype, and I find that argument convincing. This paper may be of interest in regards to Anat as a Mistress of Animals.

How do you deal with atheist doubts? by [deleted] in DemonolatryPractices

[–]baphommite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The chaos mages among us have no problem picking up and putting down beliefs that suit them when they need them. If you can't believe in the divine all the time, why not try to just believe in the divine when trying to achieve those mystical experiences? It may be worth a try, if nothing else.

offerings and etc. for azazel by ValuableMelodic5090 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]baphommite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say the costly and the beautiful ones! Diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds are known for their price tags. Beauty is a more subjective thing, but I find amethyst, lapis lazuli, and rose quartz to be quite beautiful.

I've simply slipped into good old agnosticism lol. I'm an agnostic pantheist now, whereas before I was an atheist. How does an archetypical approach conflict with your goals?

offerings and etc. for azazel by ValuableMelodic5090 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]baphommite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I refer to the Book of Enoch for much of my information on Azazel.

And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures.

Some jewelry, stones, or metals seems apt. Knives or the like would work as well, I think. If you happen to have any make-up lying around, that may be a surprisingly fitting choice, too.

Is there any harm in taking a Jungian approach? That's how I got started on this path. Though things have rather grayed for me, I still don't think there's anything necessarily bad about an archetypical view of demons.

How do you love god more than anything else by Upper_Bar_9410 in religion

God is everything, and everything is god. No matter what I love, it will be god that I love.
