[777 The Great Work]

Like a thief in the night,we are takeing back the ancient wisdom.

[I]The Ancient Mystery Schools both east and west used monstrous figures which were displayed outside temples and at sacred groves to scare off anyone who would let appearances alone scare them from higher knowledge. Those who sought the secrets of life, look beyond the image and into the symbolism. This is not an (idol) it's a representation of harmony between two polarities.

Within many Mystery Schools Baphomet ]

represents the arcane wisdom. His wings represents the element air, the top of his head represents fire, he sits on top of the world which is the earth, and he's surrounded by the the element water.

Baphomet points to the Full and the Dark Moon. The hand gestures express the perfect harmony between opposite polarities. The Dark Moon represents our actions and Our Will to Action toward our goals. The Full Moon represents the fulfillment of those goals.

As above so Below. Baphomet's ]

Two horns represents duality and the lotus flame that burns between them represents the eternal flame that destroys duality and causes us to see everything as connected to the universe that surrounds us. The flame is symbolic of the light of universal equilibrium. The two snakes that face each other at his solar plexus represents the coming together of opposites.

This symbol is known as the Caduceus. It represents eternal life, and the cycle of renewal. The two snakes act as guardians of the Heart Chakra, letting only the pure of heart through. The solar plexus it's self represents our (Will) and the life force within us.Within the solar plexus there's a circle representing the dome of the heavens, and the star mantle of the earth.

Baphomet is also the lord of the four worlds.]



1) Plant: Represented by the Lotus.

2) Animal: Represented by the Goat

3) Sea Creature: Represented by his scales

4) Human: Represented by his male and female features (this symbol also
represents the union of opposites Yin and Yang)

The Star on his head represents Earth, water, air,fire, and Spirit the fifth element of the quintessence.

On his right hand he has the word Solve which means to find an answer or Xplanation for.

On his left hand he has the word Coagula which comes from the word Coagulate which means to change from a fluid into a thickened mass.

The female breasts symbolise the life -giving essence given to us from the Goddess ,the sacred feminine.

The Star of Baphomet]

comes from the Pythagorean school of Mathematics. Many have missed the association of Pythagoras name with Python (another form of the Serpent Leviathan). In fact, one of the more Esoteric derivates of Baphomet is "Baphe-Metis," that is, Initiation into Wisdom.

The Goat within the symbol is Pan, the symbol of nature itself. Pan is where we get the word panic.

With two points up, the Pentagram symbolizes the natural and healthy venting of emotion. The one point down is the Lightning bolt which produced the divine spark of life as we know it.

The most familar representation of Baphomet comes from the Church of Satan but keep in mind that it was not created in this century!

The original Baphomet dates at least as far back as the medieval Knights Templar.

The Sigil of Baphomet.

The five symbols (one at each point of the Baphomet) are five Hebrew letters: Lamed (L), Vau (V), YOD (Y), Tau (Th), and Nun (N). These letters spell out the Hebrew word Leviathan (LVYThN)]



The Leviathan is associated with the Ouroboros, or Serpent eating its own tail. This use of Baphomet is derived from the Ophites who used the Serpent as a symbol of Wisdom. The Serpent represents the big-bang/crunch of the Cosmos (the simultaneous creation/destruction).



Baphomet repesents the sum of all life on the earth. Baphomet, in the form of the horned god is considered by some to be one of the oldest fertility divinities in history. Of course we are talking about its earlier forms.

The sigil of Baphomet as we know it today appeared first with the Knights Templars. ]



In the crusades, one group of knights, upon reaching Jerusalem, moved into stables next to the legendary Jerusalem temple, wanting to be next to the temple night and day and protect it.
Hence their name - Knights Templars.
Later on they accumulated great amounts of gold and all sorts of assets which made them richer than some rulers in Europe.[/FONT]




Hearing, wisdom, and understanding; intelligence and Will. Again, Baphomet (Bafomet) spelled backwards. In short: Serpent of Wisdom, Serpent Knowledge.
The word Baphomet is semi-Greek: Baphe Metis. It means initiation by origin of water (baptismo) and Wisdom of Measurement as by divine math (metes - metric). ]
