The Altar of Matthew DeRuilley
The Altar of Matthew DeRuilley
Matthew DeRuilley has created an original interpretation of the Sigil of Baphomet, and has included a model of a human skull, symbol of mortality and the temple of the mind, as a central icon. Note the inclusion of a “witch’s” broom and cauldron—tools used for fertility rites.
A closer image, showing the Tibetan bell and dorje, in front of which is a ritual dagger, a glass chalice, black and white candles with an additional red candle atop the skull, and, to the right, a statue of a satyr.
Here, the candles are lit, and above the altar is an image of a wolf, an animal with whom many Satanists feel a kinship. Also, if you look to the top right of the wolf image, you will see a print of Coop’s infamous Church of Satan poster.
