Hail Satan
''Hail Satan'', sometimes Latinized as ''Ave Satanas'' or ''Ave Satana'', is an exclamation used by some Satanists to invoke the name of Satan in contexts ranging from sincere expression to comedy or satire. The Satanic Temple uses the phrase as a sincere expression of rational inquiry removed from supernaturalism and archaic tradition-based superstitions. Believers in backmasking think they can hear "Hail Satan" and other similar messages in some songs played in reverse, such as "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith. The grammatically questionable variation ''Ave Satani'' is sometimes used, based on the title by Jerry Goldsmith in his theme music to ''The Omen''. Some adherents to a traditional pagan faith (such as the musician Gaahl) have been known to use the phrase to mock Christians or Christianity, using the similarities between Satan as phallic and passionate and pagan fertility-gods such as Freyr in this rhetoric as a disambiguation.
