Beyond The Ordinary

 

 

Baphomet is a controversial occult deity and symbol representing the reconciliation of opposites—male/female, human/animal, light/dark etc.—originally appearing in 11th-century Crusader reports and 14th-century Templar trials. The iconic winged, goat-headed hermaphrodite, 'Sabbatic Goat', was drawn by Éliphas Lévi in 1856, representing alchemical 'solve' and 'coagula'.
