Infernal Cog
Symbol of Satanic Wisdom
I wanted to recognize the Church of Satan and honor it and Dr. LaVey by keeping the Hebrew letters of Leviathan on the cog.
I created this by thinking of the base tenants of Satanism as a giant cog of life, bringing the mechanics of Satanism to life. The cog is black to symbolize the Black Flame and/or the Black Earth of Belial.
The pentagram is opened to release that which is desired up into atmosphere and to symbolize inspiration, open-endedness, creative chaos, never-ending change with the stability and precision of the mechanical cog. The points are thus sharp, unforgiving spears that penetrate the darkness without end, always searching for knowledge, while protecting from all directions. The penetrating spears give sustenance and fuel to the drive the cog while providing deadly weapons to spear attackers of the tribe.
Satanically inspired by Dr. LaVey...from Satan Speaks!
Upon this rendering, I have used three trapezoids; white and black for “positive” and “negative,” and red for the off-setting, Satanic Third Side. Blue triangle, the base of geometry, for a solid foundation.
The “Y” symbol is just that...a symbol. A symbol of the most important word to a Satanist...“Why?” The symbol is bladed to cut through the bullshit...with two points up in defiance and the third thrusting downward, piercing into the bedrock of truth...the beard of wisdom.
Frontline Satanic Warrior
Satanic Vampire
This is a design I think that represents the frontline Satanic Warrior. It’s simplicity is powerful, affective and dangerous. With no traditional Satanic markings, it is also covert. there’s power in a secret. The “Y” symbol is just that...a symbol. A symbol of the most important word to a Satanist...“Why?” The symbol is bladed to cut through the bullshit...with two points up in defiance and the third thrusting downward, piercing into the bedrock of truth...the beard of wisdom.
Coffinrust Baphomet
With my Baphomet I wanted a traditional feel, while at the same time being very personal and unique. The original was drawn with a technical pen and colored with gray Tria marker (Pantone 429-T) and Dragon’s Blood ink.
Sigil of the Black Flame
The Sigil of the Black Flame is a symbol of a Satanic “trinity.” The two points up mirror the horns of Baphomet, thrust toward the empty heavens in eternal defiance. The third point down is representative of not only the denial of the ascetic Christian trinity, but also the Satanic Third Side, the uncomfortable alternative. The most logical and simple, yet deliberately neglected solution to every issue and endeavor. The Satanic side of the story, always overlooked yet most effective, is the very root of Satanic philosophy. It is that which separates us from the herd and defines our purpose.

Water Element Baphomet
I don’t feel that this needs any explanation, other than that the original photograph I worked from can be seen on my website in the photography section.
Amon Baphomet
Brimstone Baphomet
These renditions of the Baphomet are doctored-up paintings of mine which I scanned and then played around with in Adobe Photoshop. The AMON Baphomet was developed for the Black Pun-kin web site and the Brimstone Baphomet was put together for a Satanic Political site called the Monolith. As you can see I had lots of fun with the lens flare effect. Should any COS member like to use these for a project please feel free to contact me at RLang@blackpunkin.com.
If you are compelled to filch these graphics, I’ll find you! HS!
Sacred Black Heart Baphomet
Hellfire Baphomet
A carnal classic of Catholicism, the traditional “sacred heart” is profaned and the lifeblood empowered by the Black Flame that burns in the heart of the Satanist. Power through Joy! A “faithful” rendition of the unholy Baphomet, encircled by scorching hellfire. Oil on Canvas 12" x 12".
Jenny ReCasino
The Flame of Life
I wanted to incorporate both a feminine and masculine feel to this piece. I used the lively background colors to add softness, and the flame in the star and goat eyes to add boldness. I created my baphomet using both colored pencils and markers.
Goat of a Thousand Young
Swank!-o-met
This logo began, obviously, as a play on a traditional Sigil of Baphomet. I tossed in my trademark martini/manhattan glass and a few Playboy logos. After deciding that Playboy might not take kindly to the tribute, I changed the logos into goats. With a little tweaking and help from a few friends on the Art SIG (Thanks folks! You know who you are!), I ended up with the keen design you see here.I liked it so much that, in addition to being a part of this swell gallery, it’s now the official logo for Swank! Design!.
Baphomet
Knowledge Baphomet
Leviathan Baphomet
Pentagram of Technology
Two-Faced Raven
The two-faced raven of thought and memory stands graven in stone, with wings outspread Within his bifid croaking call lies the image of the Death’s Head (Caput Mortuum), heralding a reminder that all must return to dust in order to be born anew. Within the breast of the gallows-bird is the pictographic image of a horned skull, to preserve the elusive tie between man and beast, hunter and hunted.
Symbol of the Beast
With this variation, I am drawing heavily from a visual emotion received when viewing the animal itself, coupled with a screen of bleeding text, running over its surface. Joining modern culture with a more primal illustration.
