If you don’t get that, read my How Harry Cast His Spell or Beatrice Groves’ Literary Allusion in Harry Potter. Rowling “makes an unlikely Satanist” because her life and work and personal testimony are all witnesses to her faith in Christ. And it’s not that the appearance of the tattoo is an interior text that largely explains the Trans Tweet of 19 December rather than a token of her conversion to Satanism. Jeffry points out that Rowling “makes a most unlikely Satanist.” Why? It’s not just that the alchemical maxim predates the goat statue in question by centuries and that Jungian psychologists understand ‘Solve et Coagula‘ as short-hand for the working action of talking therapies. I suspect when they do become aware of this explicit confession, it will be because I published the BBC program transcript. All I’m getting is the repeated revelation that Rowling is a Satanist, because, y’know, the baphomet. Oddly enough, though, the Harry Haters haven’t responded to this, or, at least, they haven’t written me any ‘I told you so’s about this. Rowling’s follow-up comment about the panicked “PR person” is a cue, from this view, that Rowling knows that the Harry Haters will twist this joking aside into a testimony of faith in Satan. They are obliged to assert that her laughter while blurting out this confession that Harry Potter is “satanic” and the crowd’s amusement along with the panel, something like hilarity, proves she was only joking. Now Rowling’s defenders, “non-believing followers” in Erin Barr speech, will be obliged to say that Rowling said this sarcastically. She’s sitting with her head in her hands at the moment. I have to say I have a PR person here with me tonight. Thank you for enabling me to say that at last. JKR: Well, it is, John, it is Satanic and I think that now is the night to say it. Read her testimony for Satan and weep:īBC: You get some flack in the States, I think, because people say it’s Satanic… It was recorded last summer and aired the week of Western Christmas. Rowling was asked point blank about Christian objections to her Hogwarts novels during a BBC program ( story and transcript here). If you doubt this logical demonstration, a sign perhaps of the weakness of your Christian faith, there is even more evidence. She must be her tattoo binds her to the Satanist baphomet. Rowling had the same words tattooed on her right inside wrist. (1) The goat-god statue used by the Church of Satan has the alchemical maxim Solve et Coagula, ‘ Solve’ on the statue’s inside right arm and ‘ Coagula’ on its inside left arm. Here, then, is the connection these three anti-occult Christian cultists are making. Levi seems to have grafted the Hermetic idea of Solve et Coagula on to the Baphomet myth, and because of the goat-like image this has been adopted by the modern church of Satan. The depiction you attach was created by Eliphas Levi in 1856 in a work called Dogma and Ritual of the Art of Magic. It was most famously used in the trials of the Templars, but was there described only as the idol of a head or skull. He responded:īaphomet originates from a mediaeval French corruption of Muhammed from the crusades. I wrote Nick Jeffry, my go-to HogPro All-Pro on research questions, with these head scratchers. What are they going on about? What is a baphomet? What does it have to do with Rowling’s tattoo and with Satanism? But you will still follow her, because you don’t believe.” Michael Todd and Erin Barr echoed this after the same post albeit with an ad hominem zinger: “She’s a satanist, don’t believe me? Check out what’s tattooed on the baphtomet (sic), the satanist goat god. The baphomet is the devil that satanists worship. It’s the same tattoo the baphomet has written on it’s arms. He said, “You realize she’s paying homage to the baphomet. ‘YouveBeenDUped’ wrote about Rowling’s Solve et Coagula tattoo that “The words on her wrist are the same words on the baphomet of the Church of Satan….YUP”.Ĭlayton MacDonald said much the same thing after I wrote about the meaning of Solve et Coagula. In the last month, three readers have left comments on two HogwartsProfessor threads in which notes they accuse Rowling of being a Satanist.
