In fact, Crowley’s previously mentioned comment about the name “BAPHOMET” continues with some interesting notions. He writes, “[…] BAPHOMET, in which three vowels are equilibrated with five consonants. He is also BABALON after a certain mystery, and Zeus Arrhenoteleus. Hence the allusion at the end of this sentence.” [10] These are very curious comments for multiple reasons. First of all, he is equating Baphomet with Babalon. This is likely Babalon in a particular aspect or form, as Babalon is usually designated to Binah as the complement to Chaos/Therion in Chokmah. The key to understanding this comes later in The Vision & the Voice when it is revealed that, “BABALON (who is speaking through one of Her ministers) is the Feminine (or Androgyne) equivalent and not merely complement — of Pan. This is shewn in many of Her images.” [11]

Prior to the worldwide press given the Church of Satan—and later the publication of The Satanic Bible — the now familiar goat / pentagram / “Leviathan” graphic had not been used as the prime symbol for Satanism. Our younger readers may find this hard to believe, but it is a fact. This devil sign comes from the Renaissance in Germany. But later become a popular depiction during the neo-Nazi period, during which it was strongly linked to occultism. Circled Dot

Berlin und Stettin. 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] The Pentagram is a symbol of a star encased in a circle. Always with 5 points, each has its own meaning. The upward point of the star is representative of the spirit. The other four points all represent an element; earth, air, fire, and water. The pentagram has long been believed to be a potent protection against evil, a symbol of conflict that shields the wearer and the home. The pentagram has five spiked wards and a womb shaped defensive, protective pentagon at the centre. ⛧ Inverted Pentagram emoji The pentagram has long been associated with various magical and occult beliefs. Moreover, the pentagram has frequently represented mankind and the microcosm. Satanism, which reveres the accomplishments of humanity and encourages believers to embrace physical wants and desires. Satanists also equate the pentagram to "intellectual omnipotence and autocracy," as described by 19th-century occultist Eliphas Levi.

It is an ancient symbol and gives a full representation of the sun and all the deities of the sun. According to Dave Talbot, it represents various extraterrestrial planets, like the Saturn, Venus, and Mars. A further indication comes from the very fact that Baphomet is understood by Crowley to specifically be an 8-lettered name (the Octogrammaton, if you will). See, for example, where Crowley writes, “I had taken the name Baphomet as my motto in the O.T.O. For six years and more I had tried to discover the proper way to spell this name. I knew that it must have eight letters…” [8] This notion was reinforced by a line from The Vision & the Voice, “thou knowest not how the Seven was united with the Four; much less then canst thou understand the marriage of the Eight and the Three. Yet there is a word wherein these are made one.” [9] Crowley comments, “BAPHOMET, in which three vowels are equilibrated with five consonants.”In the 1999 survival horror video game Silent Hill, an interpretation of Baphomet appears as a possible final boss, representing the deity worshipped by a cult residing in the titular town. The pentagram symbol has prehistoric origins. And Solomon used it in the bible. It equally stands for the victory of spirit over matter. Different individuals used it with each of them giving it different meanings.

First Look: The 7ft Satanic 'Baphomet' Demon Statue Is Coming Along Nicely (PICTURES)". www.huffingtonpost.co.uk. 2 May 2014. From Got Questions – Baphomet is the name of a false god associated in times past with the Knights Templar and today with Satanism and the occult. Modern representations of Baphomet picture it with a goat’s head on a human body (with both male and female traits); between the goat’s horns is a torch, and the image often includes a pentagram. The origin of Baphomet-worship is subject to much debate. Even the origins of the word Baphomet are unknown. Some believe it is a French corruption of Mahomet (“Muhammad”). Others believe it to be a code from Kabbalah meaning “the father of the temple of peace of all men.” Or the Arabic word for “the father of understanding.” Or, finally, the Jewish Atbash cipher as applied to Sophia—the Greek goddess of wisdom.
