Through the ages this symbol has been called by many different names. Baphomet represents the Powers of Darkness combined with the generative fertility of the goat. The Hebraic figures around the outer circle of the symbol which stem from the magical teachings of the Kabala, spell out 'Leviathan,' the serpent of the watery abyss, and identified with Satan. These figures correspond to the five points of the inverted star. I'd like to thank Rob for offering his perspective to the research.
Relationship is a two way street.
Give and take. I, by secular standards becuase of my biblical beliefs am considered conservative. As I understand the definition of Baphomet, my source of information being The Satanic Bible, Baphomet is a demon or fallen angel. Many Christian's misunderstand the purpose of the Gospel. Another thing which I feel needs to be pointed out is that when a person truly accepts Jesus Christ as their savior, they're not going to be condemned to hell for being a member of the Masonic Fraternity, a Shriner, etc.
