Hi there! So I saw this post and I wanted to ask, how to you view and work with Lord Satan, and how do you differentiate him from Lord/Lady Baphomet? I've always been confused about Satan as a daemon, and never really knew if he was the same as Baphomet or not or how to differentiate them.
I've been wanting to work with Satan as his own deity/daemon for a while now, but never really knew how to go about it.
Really interested to know how you view them both!
~ Many Blessings ~

two reflections of one energy. i'd connect lucifer to this, as well (though keep in mind that this is my personal beliefs, and it's alright and even encouraged to form your own - do what feels right for you first and foremost). they're all connected, not dissimilar to the father/the son/the holy spirit all being apart of the same one deity, but being different aspects of said deity. think of them as like a hydra, having three heads with different faces and different brains, and one body that connects them. the heads are their own identities, while also being the same body that connects one to another. i hope that makes sense, because it makes sense to me.
anyway, another way i personally differentiate satan and baphomet is if satan was red, and lucifer is blue, then baphomet is purple - a peaceful middle ground between the two. additionally, if lucifer is more angelic and satan more demonic, then baphomet is a neutral ground between the two. baphomet is also divinely androgynous, whereas lucifer can be seen as being feminine, satan more masculine (though labelling demons as strictly one or another doesn't really slot neatly into my practice, i need to express that. it works for some people, but not for me).
i'm a little dissociative when writing this, so i hope this makes sense. i just want to express differences in order to help you focus on one or another. but again! it's totally fine to disagree with me and/or form your own belief system regarding this. this is solely just how i view it within my own practice.
As one of the Fallen, Lucifer has been through Hell. And yet he survived, and he lights the way of those who go through Hell of their own.
Lucifer knows sorrow, he understands pain and grief. He is there for the hurt, the outcast, the oppressed. He understands those with religious, family, or any kind of trauma, and he will be there for them.
He knows how is it to be hurt, vulnerable and angry, and will teach protection and baneful magic to those who need it. He knows maleficium is not synonymous with malice and doesn’t expect anyone to be nice to their oppressors.
Some say he has become a monster consumed by hate, wishing only suffering on human beings. But it is so far from true. He knows what suffering is like, and has compassion for those who are in pain.
His light could not be extinguished, and it is warm. And he understands.

Working with the Tides
Tides are the rise and fall of the Ocean’s sea level which is employed by the combined gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon. The times of which when a certain tide could take place is heavily influenced by the alignment of the Sun and Moon upon the earth, such as when the Moon is at its first or third quarter. When this happens the Sun and the Moon form a 90 degree angle and cause a special tide called a neap tide. To add to that when the Moon and the Sun form a straight line they create another special tide called a spring tide.
The difference between these two are quite simple
A Spring tide occurs when there is a full or new moon and at these times the high tides are at their highest, while the low ones are at their lowest.
While when there is a neap tide the tides are at the weakest.
High and low tides on the other hand are created when the Moon rotates and creates a big bulge of water on both sides of the planet facing outward. This bulge is called a high tide and moves along with the moon while the second bulge on the other side follows it. The water that is left over is called low tide, so depending on what tides will come in your area determines where the Moon is at.
Flood/Flow: To bring anything towards you
High Tide: For any positive workings
Ebb: To bring anything away from you
Low Tide: For any negative workings
Spring Tide: Causes tidal magick to be stronger
Neap Tide: Causes tidal magick to be weaker
Some shorelines experience two of the same tides per day while some only have a pair of one each day. Though it is quite possible to have a range a mixed tides in your area also.
Weather Magic - whether it’s because a mermaid was captured and inclement weather dooms and follows whoever took them, or simply a power the mermaid has, this is something that happens often in mermaid lore. the weather and mermaids are almost intrinsically tied to one another. (ex: Sea Mithers, Ningyo, Cecelia)
Disguise - many mermaids have the ability to disguise themselves as something appealing to humans, or to hide themselves from humans entirely. the ability to transform comes in many shapes, from a cap or coat to mystical powers. (ex; Melusina, Merrow, Finfolk, Ceasg, Selkie)
Enchanted Voice - perhaps the most famous quality of a mermaid is the voice, as throughout mythology they are known for their beautiful singing. it is also a common theme that their voices can bewitch the listeners, though sometimes for less than virtuous reasons. (ex; Siren, Merrow)
Drowning - drowning can be interpreted in both the physical and metaphysical sense, to drown the spirit of a person and surround it with negative energy that is hard to rid.
Granting Wishes / Prosperity - just as a mermaid might curse varying types of doom and damnation and bad weather on those who harm or threaten them, there are those that will bless those kind to them, often with wealth and good weather. (ex; Ben-varrey, Ceasg)
Prophecy - some mermaids, though less heard of, may even prophesize the future for a human, though their reasons for doing so are often unknown. (ex; Siren, Amabie)
Crying Pearls - though it is little more than a curiosity that pops up in lore, the idea that mermaids are able to cry tears of pearls is present, though its purpose or reason is unknown. (origins in chinese lore, but doesn’t refer to any specific kind of mermaid)

Enn:Tasa on ca Camio renich
Other names:Caim, Caym
The Fifty-Third spirit is President Camio, or Caim. In the form of a bird called a thrush at first, but afterwards He puts on the shape of a man carrying in his hand a sharp sword. Camio can be invoked for divination of any type. Wear his sigil to see into any situation you encounter. He seems to answer in burning ashes, or in coals of fire. He is a good disputer. His office is to give unto men the understanding of all birds, lowing of bullocks, barking of dogs, and other creatures; and also of the voice of the waters. Camio teaches the art of astral projection, shape shifting and flying in the dream. He gives true answers of all things to come. Caim is useful in legal functions and other situations where you need to dispute conclusions drawn by interpretations of fact. This is a handy spirit to have if a case is brought against you based largely on circumstantial evidence. He is also adept at teaching the understanding of omens and portents. He was of the Order of the Angels, but now rules over thirty legions of spirits Infernal.

⬩It is important to learn protections before trying to work with any spirits. You can get tricksters and parasites if you don't.
Cleansings- cleaning your space of negative energies. You can burn herbs or incense for this.
Banishings- forcing negative energies out of your space. The lesser banishing ritual is one of the most commonly used.
Warding- wards keep negative energy out of your space. Amulets, sigils and talismans do this.
Set up a your space and do a cleanse and banishing. Have wards up in your home. Meditation is to calm yourself and get your mind ready. The sigil (symbol) is what you draw on paper. The enn is what you chant or say to call forth the spirit.⬩
A book that may initially sound counter-intuitive, but is actually very important, would be the Bible. For me personally, the story of Eden, Eve and the Serpent is of particular importance. It is also good to explore apocrypha, as well as learn about Christian theology and traditions. While neither Luciferianism not Satanism are simply “reverse Christianity”, they are post-Christian and the context of Christianity is important to understand them.
Scholarly books are important as well. Satanic Feminism: Lucifer as the Liberator of Woman in Nineteenth-Century Culture by Per Faxneld is my favourite so far when it comes to Luciferianism. It explores Lucifer in the context of feminism, obviously, but also in the context of general fight for social justice and as a symbol of liberation. It’s long and detailed, but also a good starting point to further studies, because you can expand by reading the texts or research the subjects it talks about.
I still have to read Paradise Lost, but, while very much intended as a Christian book, it is a text that contributed to Romantic Satanism and this way to the modern interpretation of Lucifer’s rebellion as a good thing. So, important as well and I want to read it soon.
Besides that, devilish folklore is also great to research. While it may be not as essential in the general Luciferianism as in traditional witchcraft, it can still be a source of inspiration. Some traditional witchcraft books involve Lucifer, and Devil figures in general are common there - if you’re a witch, you can check this out. The Devil’s Dozen by Gemma Gary, while not specifically Lucifer-focused, is dedicated to the folk Devil of witchcraft and can be very useful and inspiring. Cunning Folk and Familiar Spirits by Emma Wilby is a great scholarly work on historical witchcraft, and involves the Devil (and various devils). If you like it, her Visions of Isobel Gowdie are great as well (I would recommend to read them in that order, because it’s easier to understand this way).
Barbie Themed Satan Lockscreens
Sapphomanteia (or ‘Sapphomancy’) is a divination system performed by casting dice to identify one of sixty-four possible number combinations, each referencing a fragment of Sappho’s lyrical poetry. This line of poetry can then be interpreted to answer the posed question, or as a guide to think over.
I have carefully selected sixty-four fragments from various translations of Sappho’s work – Diane Rayor, Anne Carson, Aaron Poochigan, and Mary Barnard. The end of each fragment is marked with its relevant reference number as per E. W. Voigt’s numbering system.
To perform Sapphomanteia:
Roll 3 four-sided dice (or roll one dice three times) and use the three digits rolled to reference the corresponding fragment in bold below.
(Online dice rollers here or here).
As with many forms of divination, you could say a prayer to Sappho or another god for guidance in your reading before you start.
