The True Cross by Hoku Lani

Often times you will hear Christians claim that Satanists can’t use the inverted cross because it’s the cross of St. Peter. Fortunately, if you take a look at the image of Mesopotamian God Tammuz, in the alabaster relief, 1500 BCE, you will see him holding a cross.

Christianity has its origins in a Middle Eastern religion, Judaism, so it is little surprise that there are some residual similarities between Christian theological thought and ancient Middle Eastern religions in general. For example, the alleged son of god and the Akkadian God Tammuz were both referred to as shepherds. They were also both associated with dying and rising again. Although there are some superficial commonalities, there are also significant differences between the Christian criminal and the shepherd God Tammuz.

Another fascinating part of the myth regarding Tammuz is his death at the hands of his lover, the goddess of love, Inanna. Many believe that Inanna is another name for Lilith.

The cross is simply a symbol. It’s a shortcut to “symbolize” a thought, an idea, a concept, a belief. There are symbols everywhere — some are conflicting in their meaning.

Which is the true cross? Is it the Cross of Saint Andrew (that looks like an “X”) or is it the Cross of Saint Peter (who was crucified upside-down)? Does the inverted cross belong to Christianity? The inverted cross doesn’t belong to Satanism either.

What Hoku is, so eloquently saying, is that it was misappropriated from a time long before Christianity — and is not exclusive.
