Sokar wasn't really Satan, I think that would be more Apophis. Sokar was closely linked with Osiris (in mythology), in that he was a funerary god, and altho he was the god of "darkness and death", he wasn't really malevolent; there were other gods that were worse, namely Apophis and Seth, at times. And he was also patron of goldsmiths!
