At several places in the Delta, e.g. Hermopolis, Lycopolis, and Mendes, the god Pan and a goat were worshipped; Strabo, quoting (xvii. 1, 19) Pindar, says that in these places goats had intercourse with women, and Herodotus (ii. 46) instances a case which was said to have taken place in the open day. The Mendisians, according to this last writer, paid reverence to all goats, and more to the males than to the females, and particularly to one he-goat, on the death of which public mourning is observed throughout the whole Mendesian district; they call both Pan and the goat Mendes, and both were worshipped as gods of generation and fecundity. Diodorus [65] compares the cult of the goat of Mendes with that of Priapus, and groups the god with the Pans and the Satyrs.

Origin of the Myth

In 1897 Stanislas de Gauaita adapted the head of Levi’s Sabbatic Goat to fit inside a pentagram. De Gauaita’s version of Baphomet included an upside-down, five-pointed star surrounded by two circles. Between the circles are five Hebrew letters, one on each point of the star, spelling the Hebrew word for “Leviathan.” Around the arms of the star on the top is the name Samael, the angel of death in Talmudic lore; and on the bottom, Lilith, a female demon who was Adam’s first wife according to pagan beliefs. In 1969 Anton LaVey adopted the pentagram goat for his Church of Satan and definitively identified it with Baphomet. Lévi's depiction of Baphomet is similar to that of The Devil in the early Tarot. [53] Lévi, working with correspondences different from those later used by S.L. MacGregor Mathers, "equated the Devil Tarot key with Mercury", giving "his figure Mercury's caduceus, rising like a phallus from his groin". [54] Raymond of Aguilers, a chronicler of the First Crusade, reports that the troubadours used the term Bafomet for Muhammad, and Bafumaria for a mosque. [10] The name Bafometz later appeared around 1195 in the Provençal poems Senhors, per los nostres peccatz by the troubadour Gavaudan. [11] Around 1250, a Provençal poem by Austorc d'Aorlhac bewailing the defeat of the Seventh Crusade again uses the name Bafomet for Muhammad. [12] De Bafomet is also the title of one of four surviving chapters of an Occitan translation of Ramon Llull's earliest known work, the Libre de la doctrina pueril. [13] The pentagram symbol has prehistoric origins. And Solomon used it in the bible. It equally stands for the victory of spirit over matter. Different individuals used it with each of them giving it different meanings. This iconographical form of the Hindu Trimurti god Visnu, whose body represents the structure and form of the entire cosmos. The different domains of Hell are represented by the legs and feet, with the Earthly and harmonious Heavenly realms represented by the upper stomach and chest, arms, and head; the navel represents the Unmanifest realm that is connected with pure sound and vibration, and absolute silence, which connects everything together.

Plutarch specifically associates Osiris with the "goat at Mendes". Plutarch. De Iside et Osiride. p.lxxiii.It has a six-pointed star. You can draw or trace it unicursal. It can equally be depicted inside a circle with touching points. Also, it is part of the Seal of Orichalcos prominent in the Waking the Dragon arc. You can use it in summoning angels that can erase memories. The idea of macrocosm and microcosm is that mankind, the microcosm, is a miniature reflection of the universe, the macrocosm. Thus, all of the elements can be found within mankind, and so can influences of the astrological planets. Each here is represented by an astrological symbol: Another name for the arrow is Belomancy. It is an ancient symbol in all sense of the word. And has found its way into divination in many cultures.

The name Baphomet appeared in July 1098 in a letter about the siege of Antioch by the French Crusader Anselm of Ribemont: Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica with Wikisource reference Spunda, Franz (2007).

Therefore, Babalon can become a “feminine” or androgynous equivalent of the All, of “Pan.” The identity between Baphomet and Pan has already been discussed, primarily through their connection in Atu XV: The Devil, and now we may add Babalon, at least in this particular form. Crowley notes that Baphomet is equivalent to Babalon and then he also mentions “Zeus Arrhenotheleus,” which is simply another image Crowley uses of the divine Hermaphrodite/Androgyne. [12] Finally, he mentions an “allusion at the end of this sentence.” The “sentence” referred to is from the 5 th Aethyr where it is written:Considered to be the unspeakable name of God, written as YHWH. The four letter name has many pronunciations and can be seen over 7,000 times throughout the Hebrew Bible. As symbol, it was incorporated into the Greek Tetractys by Jewish Kabbalistic occult tradition as an evolving arrangement of ten letters. In gematria, YHWH has a numerical value of 72 (center image). The right image contains the Tetragrammaton in tetractys formation, accompanied by the late-Renaissance Pentagrammaton, below. Hodapp, Christopher (2005). "A crash course in Templar history".
