Properties[]

As an archetype, a satanic entity in a setting who is based off satanic religious theme or the traits the entities within the satanic faiths, including Atheistic Satanism, Satanism and Theistic Satanism, as well as the offshoot faith of Luciferianism. Other cultures that have satanic figures as well like the Demiurge from Gnosticism, Angra Mainyu of Zoroastrianism, and Baphomet from Thelma mythology, and of course the main figures of this faith the Devil "Satan and/or Lucifer", as well as the prophesied son himself, the Antichrist from Christianity.

Satan in this sense is the conception of Satan that remains a common feature of all satanic religions who is conceived of as one, nigh-omnipotent and nigh-omniscient, and the creator of all sins, and even certain spiritual beings such as demons and the reining master of hell along with demonic rulers. This faith is still considered modern but is a direct opposition to the abrahamic faiths which has been around much longer.

Unlike satanic incarnation, an evil being known in various cultures and religious traditions especially Christianity, achieved by either being chosen or possessed by Satan himself or other Malevolent-type force, or also not to be confused by the Devil who is merely the title of the main high-ruler and master of Hell. Whereas satanic entities are the beings themselves who come from Satanism and/or similar satanic-like faiths.

Note/Trivia[]

Satanism, any of various religious or countercultural practices and movements centered on the figure of Satan, the Devil, regarded in Christianity and Judaism as the embodiment of absolute evil. Historical Satanism, also called devil worship, consists of belief in and worship of the Judeo-Christian Devil and the explicit rejection of his antithesis, God, and (in Christianity) God’s Incarnation, Jesus Christ. It was traditionally based on the “black mass,” a corrupted rendition of the Christian Eucharist, and ritual magic evocations of Satan.

Some more-recent forms of spiritual or theistic Satanism recognize Satan as an independent non-Judeo-Christian deity. Other modern Satanic movements, including the U.S.-based Church of Satan (founded 1966), celebrate Satan not as a god but as a symbol of supposedly anti-Christian moral values or as a pre-Christian life principle. Such movements may be atheistic, agnostic, or deistic. They do not promote or practice evil in any literal sense but may profess extreme forms of individualism and ethical egoism and may reject traditional Abrahamic religions, particularly Christianity, as hypocritical and repressive.

Historical Satanic cults have been documented in Europe and North America as far back as the 17th century, but their earlier roots are difficult to trace, just as the number of such Satanists in any period is frequently overestimated.
