The star of Ishtar
The Octagram symbol is a star ideogram that commonly appears in ancient Babylonian iconography. The eight-pointed star is usually associated with ancient goddesses such as Ishtar, Innana, Isis and Venus. These goddesses were all seen as protectress of love, fertility, beauty, divine law and power.
The symbol was originally seen as a representation of the seven heavens ruled by the goddess and later became a representation of the planet Venus associated with fertility goddesses. The planet is the third brightest object in Earth's sky after the Sun and the Moon and in the past, it was referred to as the morning or evening star. In the Old Babylonian period, the planet Venus was known as Ninsi'anna translates to "divine lady, illumination of heaven".
In many myths, Inanna’s descend into the netherworld and return to the heavens may correspond with the movements of the planet Venus in the sky, setting in the West and then rising again in the East.
The discontinuous movements of Venus relate to both to the myth as well as Inanna's dual nature. Other theories recognize the story of Inanna's descent into the underworld as a reference to an astronomical phenomenon associated with retrograde Venus.
The symbol refers to the cosmic power of the goddess as ruler of sky and heavens and connected with the transcendental world. Her power stands in the mystery of magic and creation of the universe itself and for this reason the octagram became a powerful sigil used in antiquity as a devotional iconography connected with the goddess worshippers.

Synopsis:
One day when Octagram decides to hold Walpurgis, instead of the specially made meeting place, the eight demon lords are transported to Mementos on Earth. They notice that their Ultimate Skills turn into Persona’s in the Metaverse as well.
They instantly notice that the world is headed towards ruin. Yaldabaoth the watcher of this world had done a ‘Feldway’ and decided to go rouge. So they decide to help by forming their own group of phantom thieves.
———————————————————————————
How do you all like this idea?
The reason why Rimuru is the leader is due to the fact of peer pressure from the other demon lords. They don’t want to have more responsibility lol.

The fire began to gush rhythmically from the hearth, undulating and crackling, coyly licking the floor until small sections finally flickered, then each flame raced to merge with the others to burn an octogram brightly into the center of my living room floor.

I pushed the couch back a little.
The fiery star roared and whirled anti-clockwise forcing monks in Tibet to chant louder and lift into the air. Most people assume a pentagram is best for this kind of operation.
They’re wrong.

The octagram’s scorpionic section is the door that purifies whoever enters with destruction, death, and dissolution. The trick was seeing through that kind of illusory transition by using Sleight of Mind–the act of seeing without resulting in a discernible vibration–tossing our consciousness into a free-range organic shredder.

The only way to avoid being pinned down like a butterfly on a piece of Styrofoam is to shed our old dog-eared perspective and dogpaddle beyond.
