Oldest Meaning: 64 C.E., when the apostle Peter was crucified, he halted the crucifixion. When asked why, he said that he refused to be crucified in the same way as his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And so he demanded the cross the turned upside down, that he could be crucified in a way humble to his Lord, and in a way that does not seek to usurp the Lord's power. He was crucified upside down, as he wished, and he was sainted for his humility.
Since, the symbol of the inverted cross has been a symbol of Saint Peter, until quite recently, when various religious groups began to view it as a symbol of Satan, as it was an inverted cross, an inverted version of Jesus' greatest symbol, so it must be wicked. And so, when Satanism came around, they adopted this symbol as a Satanic symbol, and since then, it's been viewed as a symbol of the Devil.
