WHO and Satanism Symbols Have Different Origins and Meanings
FAKE: Lucifer and WHO have symbols in common
However, this is fake, then we explain why.
WHO on its website explains the history of the symbol as follows:
The snake staff has long been a symbol of medicine and the medical profession. This symbol originates from the story of Asclepius, who was revered by the ancient Greeks as a god of healing and whose cult included the use of snakes. Asclepius saved lives so successfully that, according to legend, the god of the underworld Hades complained about him to the supreme god Zeus, who, fearing that the healer could make people immortal, killed Asclepius with thunder.
Scientists explain the use of a snake to denote medicine and the profession of a doctor for at least two reasons. Firstly, the snake symbolized the link between the living and the dead, because the snake can both instantly kill another creature (by biting or strangling it), and give it the opportunity to survive. Secondly, the snake was a perfect example of regeneration and immortality as it sheds its skin every season.
Regarding the connection between the snake, medicine, WHO and Lucifer, she is wrong. In the illustration, not Lucifer, but Baphomet – one of the satanic idols. And on his staff are two snakes, symbolizing trade, negotiations and reciprocity – which has nothing to do with the symbols of the WHO.
The note also mentions the substance luciferase, also allegedly an extension of the false connection between Lucifer and WHO. We have already written about it here. Luciferases are a group of enzymes that can emit light when exposed to oxygen and the substrate luciferin. They occur naturally, for example, in certain types of bacteria, and are often used in biotechnology.
The origin of this name also has nothing to do with the name of Lucifer. The word "luciferin" comes from the Latin "lucifer": "luc" – light and "fer" – to carry or produce. That is, literally it can be translated as “to carry light” or “to produce light”, which fully corresponds to the properties of these enzymes to emit light.
