=== E.T. revelation ===
At some point during Maxine Dietrich's studies in ancient history, with [[Ancient astronauts|ancient astronaut]] theorist [[Zecharia Sitchin]] being noted to have some influence, derived the theory of an ancient conflict between advanced extraterrestrial races (see [[#Origins of humanity]], below) and incorporated these theories into her ideology;<ref name=":12" /> concluding that Jews and the [[Abrahamic religions]] were the creations of a hostile alien race responsible for the deposition of pagan religions and their pagan gods (who the JoS identify as [[demon]]s).<ref name=":12" /> With this reinterpretation, the Joy of Satan Ministries recreated Anton LaVey's [[Sigil of Baphomet]], a [[Sigil]] that would incorporate [[cuneiform]] script instead of [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] letters (which spells out "[[Satan]]" in cuneiform instead of "[[Leviathan]]" in Hebrew), attributing to the origins of the use of the [[Pentagram]] in Sumeria. The introduction of these theories, along with their contempt for [[Jewish mysticism]], sparked significant controversy within the religious organization.
