Where the hell did this 'deity' come from? I thought it was a biblical demon or something, but it just showed up randomly in medieval Europe and the Templars were executed for supposedly worshiping him.
It's a mockery and likely a French transliteration of Muhammad.
tl;dr we don’t fucking know
>>18223500the templers werent worshipping anything, they were disposed of for political reasons, the word that was used was similar to mohammed, implying that the templers became muslims but i doubt it.baphomet on the other hand is a occult tradition (occultism which had been a major player in the western world post 1700, and only became a truly major thing with the new age spirituality movement of the 20th century), the picture of baphomet was drawn by eliphas levi, famous occultist, representing the occult ideology/religion of hermeticism (the major post-medieval traditions of occultism was alchemy, gnosticism and hermeticism)hermeticism is the belief of dualism, as well as some other ideas described by hermes the thrice greatest, these ideas are "as above so below", "that everything vibrates, everything has gender etc"the sabbatic goat aka baphomet, represents that hermetic duality as union of opposites, it has wings representing air but a goat head/hooves representing earth, it is pointing up and down, it has the hermetic rod (phallus) which features black and white snake twirling around it but also features breasts thus its both masculine and feminine, there is a sun and moon in the corners, it also features a light (fire) on top of the head, representing the light that guides enlightenment/the spiritual way.the most important is the pentagram which has roots in medieval european alchemy, representing 5 elements (fire, water, earth, air and aether/energy/spirit), in order words the solid, liquid, gas, plasma and metaphysical matter known as spirit/mana/qi/chakra etc.
Gnosis bullshit trying to validate a dumb cunt that dances over the corpse of the secondary star (male) and hijacks everything from Sol (male) pretending to be the dawn.
>>18223500Baphoment is a figure mentioned in Bibe, also known as "The Prince of Demons". I think it's mentioned elsewhere but the most notable use of it is by a bystander acussing Jesus of being an incarnation of Baphomet after preforming a miracle.The whole got thing though is completely made up. Original it wasn't even meant to depict Baphomet, just a personification of the esoteric idea of opposites
>>18224452>literally just making shit up and getting it confused with the story of the Pharisees claiming Jesus cast out demons using the power of Beelzebub (Baal'zebub from the Canaanite Baal)go and re-read the Bible, you are misremembering, Baphomet is literally nowhere in there at all like almost all of the medieval folklore demons. Demon lore literally didn't exist until the middle ages.
