33rd Freemason Eliphas Levi
Here is a list of symbols that are common with that picture and what the Satanic Church uses:
1. Goatshead Pentagram : While the church bulletin has one goatshead pentagram right in the middle of a circle, Levi is standing on a rug in which the pentagrams are in each corner, with each pentagram facing him with the two points toward him forming the goatshead.
2. Triangle Critically Important: In the Levi picture, a Demon has appeared within the triangle surrounded by a circle. In the church bulletin, each of the horns of the pentagram form a triangle, plus we see more triangles in the church bulletin depiction in the large circle surrounding the goatshead, a point we explain in detail further along in this article.
3. Two candles lighted in a candlestick. In this Levi picture, we see one candlestick on each side of him; similarly, the church bulletin depicts the candles on each side of a songsheet.
4. Conjuring Ritual Sheet versus a Songsheet: Levi is shown holding up a roughly shaped sheet on which he has written specific ritual instructions. In the church bulletin, we see a roughly shaped songsheet.
6. Three Concurrent Circles: Levi is standing in the middle of a rug on which three circles are painted. Levi is standing inside the smaller, inner circle. Around that smaller circle is a larger circle, which is surrounded by yet a larger circle. In the church bulletin, we also see three circles, do we not? We see a small inner circle in which the Goatshead [Satan] is located rather than Levi the Wizard. Surrounding the inner circle is a larger circle, which is surrounded by yet a larger circle.
Since the number 'three' is a sacred number because it represents the Pagan Trinity, we would need to have three circles in the church bulletin if this symbol is, indeed, Satanic; and, we do have the three circles! Circles are critically important to the Satanist, for they symbolize spirit. They describe "the whole cosmos -- everything which is spiritual, everything embraced by the vast realm of the heavens." [Goodman, p. 17] Thus, it is highly appropriate that Levi would utilize circles in his Demon Conjuring Ritual, and equally appropriate for the Goatshead Pentagram in the church bulletin to be surrounded with three concurrent circles.
7. Brightness of light: in the Levi depiction, we see the standing demon appearing in a triangle surrounded by an aura of bright light. In the church bulletin, we see one of the major groupings of triangles illuminated by the flame of the candle. In both pictures, the bright light is within a triangle off to the side of the Wizard -- Goatshead -- located within the inner circle. This illumination represents "enlightenment" into the darker esoteric, demonic world.

Seriously, how did you attribute this ARTWORK (which is not a photograph, not even a portrait of someone's face???) to Levi and therefore to Freemasonry?
That's like me guessing what you look like by your username and then saying I saw your face on a "Most Wanted" poster.
Is this what you call research? I opened this thread thinking, "Oh wow, let's look at this!" and upon reading it, even if I were staunchly anti-Masonic, I would still give you the thumbs down for your pitiful effort at making this so-called connection.
Racking up those points, eh?

That's Minya in rather foppish attire...
Errr... For those that had a sheltered childhood, Minya is Godzilla's "son."
B Movie Monkeys, not just for King Kong anymore...

Mr Levi was a Magi (sorcerer)... this is fact... he wrote many books on the subject.
that wasn't a picture of him...
he was only briefly a mason... they didn't like him, and he didn't like them...
he was also a member of (and kicked out of) many other religious groups, including the catholic preisthood...

You forgot about the Owl and the Lucifer poster on the wall.

Whatever the origin of the picture, the conjuration is clearly of the masons' common interdimensional possessor Yota
