Insignia of the Church of Satan created by Anton LaVey, the Black Pope, in 1966. The sigil comes from La Clef de la Magie Noire, written by Stanislas de Guaita in 1897. The association of the downward pointing pentagram with the goat is a modern invention. Just the mere exercise of drawing an upright pentagram automatically creates a downward pointing pentagon and pentagram in the process. The Amiens Rose being the perfect example. This can be repeated indefinitely and has no negative association as it is pure geometry, uncorrupted. People are responsible for labelling the upright pentagram this, and the downward pentagram that. The Satanic Temple should not be confused with the Church of Satan. They are an atheistic group that does not believe in a supernatural Satan.
