Baphomet depicts
the implicit acceptance of the Cosmic
Laws.
The symbol known as 'Baphomet' was
orginially employed
by The Knights Templar,
to represent satan.
Among other names given to this infamous
and
most powerful symbol,
Baphomet is also known
as
' The Goat of Mendes.'
This potent symbol depicts the forces
of the
Powers of Darkness,
combined with the fertility of the
goat.
As Satanism embraces the carnal side
of Man,
the pentagram of Baphomet is depicted
in a
reverse position,
to appear as the head of a goat,
it's horns representing duality,
the three other points are inverted
as to represent
the 'trinity' denied.
The Hebrew symbolism found
around the figure,
originates from the kabbalah,
and spells Leviathan,
'the serpent of the watery abyss',
and is aligned in definition with
that which
is called 'satan'.
One of the most prominent of
Magickal symbols,
the Baphomet or Goat of Mendes is
depicted with two breasts,
and two half moons defining the symbol
of Hecate,
the dark aspect of the Moon Goddess.
Eliphas Levi,
who designed the most infamous rendition
of Baphomet
said that the sketch represented
the
sum total of the universe's
intelligence, the four elements,
divine
revelation, sex and motherhood
and sin and redemption.
It
is important to realize
that the sketch does not represent
an actual demon.
It is a symbolic
representation of a
hidden faith.
It encapsulates the essence of Satanism.
The accuser,
sitting in judgement
of the world
imitating god.
With both a masculine and feminine facade,
it is the devil and the whore of Babylon.
