The Baphomet is a deity who has in recent times become to be known as Satan. He is to represent evil, and hatred, death and espair, and all that is corrupt. Im hear to tell you thats a load of bullshit and anyone who believes that is ignorant.

Baphomet has ecisted for well over 600 years, he was saposidly worshiped by the Templar knights, and even the biblical king Salolmon stated that Baphomet was a deity who was very close to, if not God himself or greater.

Baphomet is depicted as a deity consisting of a nude womans torso, cloven hooves, A goats head, a torch between the horns and a Pentagram in the middle of its forhead.

Baphomet represents a kind and loving deity and prophet. The torch between its horns represents enlightenment and knowledge, and the pentagram in the middle of its forhead is a microcosm of knowledge and all knowing. It is depicted in many occultic manuscripts in many different forms, and features. He was even worshiped by the free masons, and there is even a statue of a half nude George Washington, who was a free mason himself, in the same pose as Baphomet.

The Sabbatic Goat. The Baphomet of Mendes.
A pantheistic and magical figure of the Absolute. The torch placed between the two horns represents the equilibrating intelligence of the triad. The goat's head, which is synthetic, and unites some characteristics of the dog, bull and ass, represents the exclusive responsibility of matter and the expiation of bodily sins in the body.

The hands are human, to exhibit the sanctity of labour; they make the sign of esotericism above and below, to impress mystery on initiates, and they point at two lunar crescents, the upper being white and the lower black, to explain the correspondences of good and evil, mercy and justice. The lower part of the body is veiled, portraying the mysteries of universal generation, which is expressed solely by the symbol of the caduceus


I spent a week working on this painting, which is done in Water color, pencil, and ink. Also used was a small layer of white pastel.
