The term "Baphomet" originates from the greek phrase "baphe metis" which means "absorbtion of knowledge." The face of the goat is representing the "Scapegoat" of Satan and Satanism, which has been blamed, accused and assulted. The 5 hebreic symbols surrounding the inverted pentacle spell out LVTHN meaning "Laviathan" the serpent of the abyss.
This symbol was supposedly worshipped by the Templar Knights, but it is highly unlikely being that they only made 12 out of 250 knights confess to the crimes, which were undoubtably conjured through acts of torture. |
