| Baphomet |

The image of
Baphomet by
the occult author
Eliphas Levi
is intended
to metaphorically
express the
qualities of
the Absolute.
The white and
black moons
represent kindness
and cruelty.
The words on
the presented
forearms represent
the cosmic cycle
of coalescence
and dissolution.
The goat head
is alternately
emblematic of
Baphomet as
fertility god,
as the 'scapegoat'
(that is, sin
carrier) of
ancient sacrifice
or as a pagan
antithesis to
Jesus as 'lamb'
of God. |
