Satanism, in general, is an intentional perversion of Christianity. Inverting the symbol of Christianity, the so-called "black mass": these are things adopted from Christianity and intentionally inverted/perverted. The satanists are merely attempting to do the opposite of what "godly" people do. That's the whole of it.
Interesting, when you realize that Satanic rituals and symbols are derived from Christianity. :) I guess we're all that they have to go on.

My view on it is that a symbol takes it's meaning from what people give to it. A cross can symbolize the letter "T" or it can symbolize the cross that Jesus was crucified on. The symbol that Hitler used for the Nazi party has been used in other cultures as a decoration of something entirely different.
So if Satanists use an upside down cross as a symbol of their religion then that's what it means to them. If people try to say that a Catholic with an upside down cross has a satanic symbol and the Catholic uses it to remember what Peter did then the same symbol represents two different things to the two different people.

One explanation I've heard is from a school of satanisem that basis things around freedom from god or equality among all beings. In this, st peter choosing to be crucified upside down could be seen as (instead of deference to god) as freedom or separation from god and claiming his death as his own. I'm not sure how much this helps, and I'm sure many satanists do not use it for this reason, but I think it's a pretty helpful explanation to understand.

I think it has to do with the fact that an upside-down pentacle is seen as demonic and satanic. The fact that he was crucified upside-down wasn't his idea, it was the Jews (not blaming them) who did that because they thought his following Jesus and a different sect of Christianity was evil. I don't think St. Peter is satanic.

The Cross of St. Peter is an inverted Latin cross. The origin of this symbol comes from the Catholic tradition that St. Peter was crucified upside down, as he felt he was unworthy to be crucified in the same manner that Christ died (upright). It is often used with two keys, symbolizing the keys of heaven.
The Alexandrian scholar Origen is the first to report that St. Peter was crucified head downward, for he had asked that he might suffer in this way'. Some Catholics use this cross as a symbol of humility and unworthiness in comparison to Christ.
It is also often associated with Satanism. Aleister Crowley believed this cross to be a symbol of inverted grace, or falling away from Christ's grace. As a result, this symbol has become very popular within the heavy metal, black metal and death metal music scenes (notably, members of bands such as Danzig, Dimmu Borgir, Satyricon, Deicide, King Diamond, and Gorgoroth have adorned themselves with large inverted cross pendants) Glen Benton, frontman of death metal band Deicide, branded himself on the forehead with an inverted cross.
During the late Pope John Paul II's visit to Israel, a picture of him with a backdrop of St. Peter's cross was widely circulated on the Internet, propagating the belief of some that the Catholic Church is associated with Satanism. In fact the photograph is related to the Catholic tradition that St. Peter was martyred in Rome (and as Catholic tradition views the Pope as the successor of Peter, it is a logical symbol for the Roman Pontiff). The inverted cross is also one of the traditional symbols used by Petrine Orthodox Sebomenoi.

You answered your own question. And my view has not changed, as I was taught that St. Peter was hung upside down on the cross.
It depends on why you where it.

It isn't St. Peters cross that is symbolic to satanists as I have viewed it. It is a crucifix of Christ upside down that is symbolic of disrespect by satan to the sacrifice Jesus made.
This is what I have seen but I may be wrong. I'm not a satanist so their answer will supersede mine.

It is a representation of the maner in which Peter was crucified. But remember, this method was done as a mockery to him and the early church. The symbol was likewise adopted by several anti-christian movements, including Satanists.
