What is Baphomet? This comprehensive and accessible history sets the record straight on this captivating icon of the occult.

Baphomet, often misunderstood and cloaked in misinterpretations, has left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness, standing at the crossroads of the occult, religion, and the quest for arcane knowledge. This provocative entity, existing simultaneously as myth, magick, and symbol, demands an exploration not bound by the confines of a single discipline or perspective. Baphomet Revealed sets out to undertake this multifaceted exploration. Over the years, Baphomet has been called a demon, deity, and the devil himself, but Baphomet is none of these.

Baphomet's origins are as elusive as its symbolic form, yet we begin our inquiry with the Templars, where the name Baphomet was perhaps first uttered or misunderstood as a distortion of the name of the prophet Muhammad. We trace Baphomet's course through history, their intersections with Gnostic thought, Freemasonry, the teachings of Aleister Crowley, and the myriad occult groups that have drawn upon their potent symbolism. While Baphomet has often been misconstrued as a demonic figure, the figure is, in reality, a symbol-a complex cipher holding within its form the keys to profound philosophical and esoteric truths.

Baphomet Revealed
will take readers on a journey that weaves together the threads of history, symbolism, and esoteric philosophy, unraveling the tapestry of Baphomet's enduring mystique. Such a journey would be incomplete without acknowledging the essential contribution of Eliphas L©vi, whose conceptualization of Baphomet has profoundly shaped our modern image of this occult icon. L©vi's Baphomet, far removed from demonic caricature, emerges as an emblem of equilibrium-a harmony of opposing forces and a mirror to the universe's inherent dualism and an icon of equity and gender equality. References will be drawn extensively from primary sources. The inclusion of historical depictions and magical seals associated with Baphomet will provide a visual companion to the text, inviting readers to engage with the symbol directly. By melding rigorous academic inquiry with a spirit of open-minded exploration, Baphomet aims to shed new light on this shadowy figure, illuminating Baphomet's proper place in the annals of human thought and spiritual endeavor.
