Haag, Michael (2009). Templars: History and Myth: From Solomon's temple to the Freemasons. Profile Books. Raymond of Aguilers, a chronicler of the First Crusade, reports that the troubadours used the term Bafomet for Muhammad, and Bafumaria for a mosque. [10] The name Bafometz later appeared around 1195 in the Provençal poems Senhors, per los nostres peccatz by the troubadour Gavaudan. [11] Around 1250, a Provençal poem by Austorc d'Aorlhac bewailing the defeat of the Seventh Crusade again uses the name Bafomet for Muhammad. [12] De Bafomet is also the title of one of four surviving chapters of an Occitan translation of Ramon Llull's earliest known work, the Libre de la doctrina pueril. [13] A discussion concerning the symbolism of pentagrams is contained in Eliphas Lévi’s Dogme et Rituel de la haute magie (1855-56 & 61, translated into English by A. E. Waite under the title Transcendental Magic). There are no accompanying illustrations. Here is the English translation of the quote: CHAPTER 5—THE BLAZING PENTAGRAM Official emblem of the Church of Satan, consisting of the head of a goat transfixed upon a reversed pentagram flanked by the Hebrew letters of the word " Leviathan" (לִוְיָתָן). The right image is the same sigil in cuneiform from the Joy of Satan Ministries, a recreation of the sigil of Baphomet incorporated with cuneiform lettering instead of Hebrew to spell out "Satan", and made after Maxine Dietrich's reinterpretation of the ideology of spiritual Satanism.

Lévi's Baphomet is the source of the later tarot image of the Devil in the Rider–Waite design. [7] The concept of a downward-pointing pentagram on its forehead was enlarged upon by Lévi in his discussion (without illustration) of the Goat of Mendes arranged within such a pentagram, which he contrasted with the microcosmic man arranged within a similar but upright pentagram. [72] The actual image of a goat in a downward-pointing pentagram first appeared in the 1897 book La Clef de la Magie Noire, written by the French occultist Stanislas de Guaita. [1] [28] It was this image that was later adopted as the official symbol—called the Sigil of Baphomet—of the Church of Satan, and continues to be used among Satanists. [73] Féraud, Raymond (1858). Sardou, A. L (ed.). La vida de Sant Honorat (La vie de Saint Honorat) (in French). Paris: P. Janet, Dezobry, E. Magdeleine & Co. This is another satanic symbol. The hexagram is its Greek name, while the Latin form is Sexagram. It is a six-point geometric star bearing the Schlafly symbol. The devil term refers the compound figure of two quadrilateral triangles since there are no true regular continuous hexagrams.

The name Baphomet came into popular English usage in the 19th century during debate and speculation on the reasons for the suppression of the Templars. Modern scholars agree that the name of Baphomet was an Old French corruption of the name "Mohammed", [3] with the interpretation being that some of the Templars, through their long military occupation of the Outremer, had begun incorporating Islamic ideas into their belief system, and that this was seen and documented by the Inquisitors as heresy. [29] Alain Demurger, however, rejects the idea that the Templars could have adopted the doctrines of their enemies. [30] Helen Nicholson writes that the charges were essentially "manipulative"—the Templars "were accused of becoming fairy-tale Muslims". [30] Medieval Christians believed that Muslims were idolatrous and worshipped Muhammad as a god, [3] with mahomet becoming mammet in English, meaning an idol or false god [31] (see also Medieval Christian views on Muhammad). This idol-worship is attributed to Muslims in several chansons de geste. For example, one finds the gods Bafum e Travagan in a Provençal poem on the life of St. Honorat, completed in 1300. [32] In the Chanson de Simon Pouille, written before 1235, a Saracen idol is called Bafumetz. [33] Alternative etymologies [ edit ]

The pentagram is commonly accepted as a symbol of protection and exorcism, driving away evil and other unwanted energies and entities. The eye of God within a triangle, representing the Holy Trinity, and surrounded by holy light, representing His omniscience. Aleister Crowley, the occultist and magician of the late 19th to mid-20th century, interpreted Baphomet as the “divine androgyne.” Crowley rejected the concepts of the biblical God and Satan and followed the Gnostic teaching that Satan brought wisdom to mankind—that old lie of the serpent in the garden. Baphomet was his symbol and represented life, love, and light. With the addition of the Zodiac sign Capricorn (the goat), liberty is added. Lévi's Baphomet, for all its modern fame, does not match the historical descriptions from the Templar trials, although it was likely inspired by the "Baphomet" figures depicted in Hammer-Purgstall's Mysterium Baphometis revelatum. [57] It may also have been partly inspired by grotesque carvings on the Templar churches of Lanleff in Brittany and Saint-Merri in Paris, which depict squatting bearded men with bat wings, female breasts, horns and the shaggy hindquarters of a beast.

Baphomet is Remade in the 19th Century

The 2016 audio drama Robin of Sherwood: The Knights Of The Apocalypse (based on the TV show Robin of Sherwood), has Robin and his companions come into conflict with the titular Knights. The Knights of the Apocalypse are depicted as a cult which worships Baphomet; the Knights are also depicted as a splinter group from the Knights Templar.

You can draw or trace it unicursal. It can equally be depicted inside a circle with touching points. Also, it is part of the Seal of Orichalcos prominent in the Waking the Dragon arc. You can use it in summoning angels that can erase memories. Later in the 19th century, the name of Baphomet became further associated with the occult. Éliphas Lévi published Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie ("Dogma and Rituals of High Magic") as two volumes ( Dogme 1854, Rituel 1856), in which he included an image he had drawn himself, which he described as Baphomet and "The Sabbatic Goat", showing a winged humanoid goat with a pair of breasts and a torch on its head between its horns (see the illustration). This image has become the best-known representation of Baphomet. Lévi considered the Baphomet to be a depiction of the absolute in symbolic form and explicated in detail his symbolism in the drawing that served as the frontispiece:

The Sigil of Baphomet is the official insignia of the Church of Satan, [1] [2] [3] first appearing on the cover of The Satanic Mass album in 1968, and adorning the cover of The Satanic Bible the following year. [4] The sigil has been called a "material pentagram" representational of carnality and earthy principles. [5] The Church describes the symbol as the "...preeminent visual distillation of the iconoclastic philosophy of Satanism."The Sun and the Moon are common symbols of polarity in occultism. Here the moon is associated with generative function and sexuality. It is placed at the genitals, which is the center of this illustration of aman. The sun generally represents higher functions such as intelligence and spirituality, and it sits here at the solar plexus. Thierry Murcia, Dan Brown, Hugh J. Schonfield, and the Hebrew transliteration of “Sophia”. [1] TEMPLARKEY Magazine, Issue 7, 2023, p. 54-55. The Church of Satan decided on a point-down orientation. This allows them to place the goat-head within the figure. In addition, according to writers such as Levi, this was the "infernal" orientation, and thus seemed the appropriate orientation for Satanism. Finally, the point-down figure represents spirit subsumed by the four physical elements, rejecting the notion that the physical world is dirty and taboo and that the spirit should rise about it. The ouroboros is an ancient symbol from Egypt representing a dragon or serpent eating its own tail. From its origin in ancient Egyptian iconography, it entered into eastern traditions through Greek magical tradition. And later adopted in Hermeticism, Gnosticism and alchemy.

A symbol of the Philosopher's stone. Depicted on the left image is Michael Maier's Emblem XXI from Atalanta Fugiens.Lévi, pp. 93–98: " Le pentagramme élevant en l'air deux de ses pointes représente Satan ou le bouc du sabbat, et il représente le Sauveur lorsqu'il élève en l'air un seul de ses rayons... En le disposant de manière que deux de ses pointes soient en haut et une seule pointe en bas, on peut y voir les cornes, les oreilles et la barbe du bouc hiératique de Mendès, et il devient le signe des évocations infernales." Not to be confused with Bahamut or Behemoth. An 1856 depiction of the Sabbatic Goat from Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie by Éliphas Lévi.
