Satanic Symbolism in the Starbucks Logo: A Warning for Muslims

The Western (mostly US based) Zionist regime is a corporate behemoth that has grown through the parasite of consumerism, constantly feeding off of the unsuspecting masses. In this way, these huge corporations are dependent on the people. However, those very people have now weaponized this dependency in the form of boycotts. Banning and boycotting Israeli goods has become a global trend in light of the ongoing genocide that Israel is carrying out in Gaza.

One of the companies that have suffered greatly as punishment for supporting Israel is the infamous Starbucks.

Now, being pro-Israeli is bad enough, but there’s an even deeper reason why people, especially Muslims, should totally abandon Starbucks. To be specific, I’m talking about the Satanic undertones that this company embodies.

The logo for the Starbucks company is referred to as a two-tailed “Siren,” and the company itself acknowledges its importance to the brand:

She’s at the center of your Starbucks cup. That green mythological creature who’s staring into your soul as you drink your latte. The star of Starbucks® Anniversary Blend. But seriously, who is she?

“It’s the siren. She is not a real person, but we kind of think of her as one. She’s the biggest symbol of our brand, really, other than our partners (employees). She’s the face of it,” Steve Murray said. He’s a creative director in the Starbucks Global Creative Studio.

This creature, inspired by Greek mythology, is a sea-dwelling monstrosity that was said to produce beautiful sounds. Such sounds would lure in unsuspecting sailors, who would sail straight towards rock formations. However, far too distracted by the melodies of the Siren, they would fail to notice the rocks, ultimately crashing into them and sinking to the bottom of the ocean.

It is widely accepted that this is the reason that the Siren was chosen as the symbol of Starbucks, as it mimics the alluring effect of their coffee-based products. This is also similar to what Shaytan does. He tricks humans into committing sinful actions that are pleasurable in the short-term but ultimately lead to harming the human body, mind, and soul.

No doubt Starbucks itself is also going for this image of their company being a tempting trap. Tempting not only because coffee is addictive, which can be a trap in and of itself, but because once you’re addicted to something that you have to pay for, you’re more than likely to keep paying for it, i.e., the fatal trap of consumerism. The trap that feeds on people’s desires and their base urges.

The sailors sinking to the bottom of the ocean isn’t just an analogy for the damage suffered by customers’ wallets but also their health. Major fast-food chains are notorious for their extremely deteriorating health effects on the human body, often due to the dangerously high content of processed sugars in their products, which leads to a plethora of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, etc.

The tactic of these food companies is plain and simple. They know that sugar is to their customers exactly what drugs are to a junkie. Highly addictive. So, they pump their products full of it in order to ensure that consumers are drawn to keep coming back for more and more. With Starbucks, the added effect of coffee makes this physiological addiction even worse. This kind of business strategy reflects the soulless nature of such corporate entities, who care more about profits than they do about people’s health or the negative impact they have on wider society.

Another fact about the logo that should put Muslims on alert is that it didn’t always used to consist of a woman’s hair and face. The current logo is actually a “zoomed in” variation. The original (too explicit and inappropriate to be featured) consists of the entire creature, the upper half being of a bare-chested woman and the lower half, of a two tailed fish. And as if that wasn’t bad enough already, this creature assumes an extremely vulgar pose. The founders claim that the inspiration was a 16th century Norse woodcut of a Siren.

However, an interesting article rejects this claim from the founders of the company:

There’s a problem with this. There’s no such thing as a 16th-century Norse woodcut.

The Norse ceased to exist as such around 1300. Woodcuts didn’t arrive in Europe until about 1400.

As it turns out, an author by the name of Michael Krakovskiy discovered where the logo actually originates from, as the article further states:

It seems Michael Krakovskiy of DeadProgrammers Cafe was among the first to unravel the mystery …

 

In “How the Starbucks Siren Became Less Naughty,” Krakovskiy reveals that the original Starbucks logo (pictured below, right) bears an uncanny resemblance to an entry (below left) in J.E. Cirlot’s Dictionary of Symbols, which was first published in English in 1962.

There’s something just not right about this crowned mermaid and the way she is holding her double fishtail. Not to put too fine a point on it, the bare-chested mermaid appears sexually provocative.

 

The Starbucks logo evolved from here through various stages of simplification and abstraction.

 

According to the Symbol Dictionary, the twin-tailed mermaid is Melusine or Melisande, a siren of anguepede body-type, who is also a symbol in alchemy.

The resemblance between the “Melusine” symbol and the original Starbucks logo is a 1:1 perfect match. There’s no denying that this is in actuality where the logo originated from.

Melusine is yet another folktale character. To keep it brief, her story consists of her meeting a prince in a forest, whom she then marries and has children with. However, she enacts a single condition, which is that he mustn’t see her on the Sabbath. One day, however, he defies this condition and discovers that her lower half resembles that of a serpent. The story ends with her leaving, only returning at night to visit her children in the form of a demonic dragon creature.

By the way, this doesn’t in any way discount the Siren analogy, as all of these demonic female mythological characters have many similarities and are often just copy-pasted, slightly edited versions of one another.

Speaking of which, Melusine shares a strong similarity with another creature, the female demon in Jewish tradition known as Lilith:

In folk Judaism, the primary myths about Lilith continue to identify her principally as a stealer of babies. Numerous amulets for pregnant women and babies from medieval through modern times use the three names of the angels mentioned in the Alphabet of Ben Sira (Sanvi, Sansanvi, and Samangelof) to ward away Lilith.

Melusine and Lilith both share the trait of visiting children at night as flying demonic creatures.

Through its logo and values, Starbucks let’s its consumers know that what they are giving their money to is an entity that has sided with evil, without being too on the nose about it, like sealing away important details of a contract in the fine print.

There’s no reason for Muslims, or anyone for that matter, to support such an evil and Satanic company.
