There's no self-villification here, xianity changed something beautiful to mean the quite opposite. Baphomets and red and black and any other symbols and colors used in Traditional Satanism are ancient symbols and used to have positive meaning. We're using them in their original meaning. If we were to practice self-villification we would call Satan "prince of darkness", we would use the reverse xian "black mass" and other blasphemous things.
It is the opposite, we take these symbols twisted by the enemy and clean up their meaning and inform people that there's nothing bad or "evil" about them and the enemy is lying. If we used the name Enki and other things instead of these, that would be true self-villification as the enemy would continue to hurl blasphemies and lies against the name "Satan" who is equivalent to Enki. They would continue spreading their lies about the baphomet and colors red and black. Being indifferent to the enemy lies and just using feel good symbols that most brainwashed people have no problem is worse and does nothing to expose the enemy and their lies.

Again, thanks for the input!
I suppose my thoughts were delivered within the constraints of a Judeo-centric syntax. If one was to say Daemon to the 'average' thoughtless layman, one would be summoning up the ignorant image of slobbering red-skinned satyrs, hell-bent on brutality. Pardon the thought.
One of my intentions was to open up discussion on measures that could bring a touch of diplomacy and presentation to the issues so vital to the members of the group. While the website is abundant in explanation and the revelation of so much lies on the part of Christianity, there is a certain amount of seeming self-vilification. A distancing which may be both intentional and necessary in serving the purpose of scaring away the stubborn and the ignorant. The red on black text has been explained by the powerful significance of the colour red in ancient rites [but I did find myself highlighting entire pages for ease of reading].
Maybe my background in art and design is overriding my judgement of important issues. I understand that there is no proselytising inherent in Spiritual Satanism, but there is a certain amount of misinformation to be put to rest and instances of playing up to those common misconceptions for beneficial reason could be harmful in other ways. I liken the issue to celebrities who both use and then condemn the press.

The word Demon originates from the Greek word Daemon, meaning "a god" or "one of great wisdom". There is no better title than that, for it is exactly what they are.

Demon isn't a bad title, calling them an angel would be insulting them, im not 100% sure of the origins of the word Demon (im sure someone else can help with that.) So... yea, calling a Demon an angel would be a big mistake according to what ive learned so far.
Stay Strong
Hail Satan and the Demons of Duat!!!

Just a fleeting thought on the nature of appropriate entitlement, answerable only by those lucky enough to speak with or for Enki and his influential cohorts:
Would these mighty entities whom mortals have long-since branded Demons take kindly to the notion of being instead called Angels, or some other divine rank of providence more suited to their nurturing purpose? Whilst of course keeping their ancient names, I ask only about fair and proper titles.
Furthermore, would Michael and his rabble of winged curs - assuming they exist in a form other than mere collective delusion - not better be damned with names of lesser station?
I suppose my real inquiry is one of comparative semantics. Role reversal seems to be prominent in the literature I've taken in so far, and it lead me to this thought experiment. I mean no offence in the inquiry, to those capable of taking it on the behalf of their Guardians, nor to their Guardians themselves.
