Baphomet is not Satan.
Baphomet (English pronunciation: /ˈbæfɵmɛt/, from medieval Latin Baphometh, baffometi, Occitan Bafometz) is an imagined pagan deity (i.e., a product of Christian folklore concerning pagans), revived in the 19th century as a figure of occultism and Satanism. Often mistaken for Satan, it represents the duality of male and female, as well as Heaven and Hell or night and day signified by the raising of one arm and the downward gesture of the other. It can be taken in fact, to represent any of the major harmonious dichotomies of the cosmos.
YEAH, GUYS.
Poster in honor of Crowley by Madame Talbot. Notice “Do What Thou Wilt” and Baphomet. For more info on Baphomet read our full article entitled “Who is Baphomet”.
Baphomet. A fascinating yet long misunderstood figure of occultism and paganism. I’m neither but I can appreciate the symbolism and art the figure represents. Interpret it how you wish.
