EVIL SPIRITS OUT!
“The name of the Templar Baphomet, which should be spelt kabalistically backwards, is composed of three abbreviations: Tem. ohp. AB., Templi omnium hominum pacts abbas, “the father of the temple of peace of all men”. [1. Eliphas Levi, Dogmes et Rituels de la Haute Magie]
“The practice of magic – either white or black – depends upon the ability of the adept to control the universal life force – that which Eliphas Levi calls the great magical agent or the astral light. By the manipulation of this fluidic essence the phenomena of transcendentalism are produced. The famous hermaphroditic Goat of Mendes was a composite creature formulated to symbolize this astral light. It is identical with Baphomet the mystic pantheos of those disciples of ceremonial magic, the Templars, who probably obtained it from the Arabians.” [6. Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages]
It is widely accepted by occult researchers that the figure of Baphomet was of a great importance in the rituals of the Knights Templar. The first occurrence of the name Baphomet appeared in a 1098 letter by crusader Anselm of Ribemont stating:
“As the next day dawned they called loudly upon Baphometh while we prayed silently in our hearts to God; then we attacked and forced all of them outside the city walls.” [7. Malcom Barber and Keith Bate, Letters from the East: Crusaders, Pilgrims and Settlers in the 12th-13th Centuries]
“The symbol of Baphomet was used by the Knights Templar to represent Satan. Through the ages this symbol has been called by many different names. Among these are: The Goat of Mendes, The Goat of a Thousand Young, The Black Goat, The Judas Goat, and perhaps the most appropriately, The Scapegoat.
Baphomet represents the Powers of Darkness combined with the generative fertility of the goat. In its “pure” form the pentagram is shown encompassing the figure of a man in the five points of the star – three points up, two pointing down – symbolizing man’s spiritual nature. In Satanism the pentagram is also used, but since Satanism represents the carnal instincts of man, or the opposite of spiritual nature, the pentagram is inverted to perfectly accommodate the head of the goat – its horns, representing duality, thrust upwards in defiance; the other three points inverted, or the trinity denied. 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.” [14. Anton Lavey, The Satanic Bible]
Baphomet is a composite creation symbolic of alchemical realization through the union of opposite forces. Occultists believe that, through the mastery of life force, one is able to produce magick and spiritual enlightenment. Eliphas Levi’s depiction of Baphomet included several symbols alluding to the raising of the kundalini – serpentine power – which ultimately leads to the activation of the pineal gland, also known as the “third eye”. So, from an esoteric point of view, Baphomet represents this occult process.
However, over time the symbol has come to signify much more than its esoteric meaning. Through controversies, Baphomet became, depending of the point of view, a representation of everything that is good in occultism or everything that is evil in occultism. It is, in fact, the ultimate “scapegoat”, the face of witchcraft, black magick and Satanism. The fact that the symbol is rather monstrous and grotesque has probably helped propel the symbol to its level of infamy as it never fails to shock organized religions while attracting those who rebel against them.
Since gaining widespread recognition in popular culture, the image of Baphomet is now used as a symbol of anything regarding occultism and ritualism. In corporate-owned mass media, which has ties with secret societies, the figure of Baphomet appears in the oddest places, often to audiences too young to understand the occult reference.
After centuries of myths, hoaxes, propaganda and disinformation on both sides of the spectrum, can we truly answer the the original question posed by this article: “Who is Baphomet?”. Is it a symbol of Satan or of spiritual enlightenment? Is it a symbol of good or evil? The answer lies within the symbol itself: It is both. In Egyptian mythology, Toth Hermes was a mediating power between good and evil, making sure neither had a decisive victory over the other. Baphomet represents the accomplishment on this cosmic task on a very small scale, within oneself. Once perfect equilibrium is attained on a personal level, the occult initiate can point one hand towards the heavens and one hand towards the earth and pronounce this hermetic axiom which reverberated through millenniums: “As Above, So Below”.

Some peculiar Satanists will tell you that Baphomet is a goddess, or better yet, the hermaphroditic conglomerate of many species, and they ascribe some pretty interesting qualities to Hir, from cannibalism and representation of the trodden aspects of the wild to Sabbatic Goat Dionysian revel-mongering. As one gets further and further out into the fringes of the occult community almost ANYTHING is possible.
Within these words, you discover the reality that Freemasonry is, indeed, the hidden, occultic, and Satanic organization which we have been saying all along that it is. The "Mysteries" spoken of by Bailey is that total field of hidden Satanic worship which has had to remain hidden for so very long in world history. All occult groups practice the "Rites of Initiation", and the All-seeing Eye has long been recognized as the Eye of Horus, or Lucifer. The Bible states unequivocally that there is no good in man, but only evil; however, all occultists affirm that man is inherently good, and has a "Divine Nature" within him that only has to be realized through occult methods. Then, finally, Bailey boldly states that " It (Freemasonry) is a far more occult organisation than can be realised, and is intended to be the training school for the coming advanced occultists". Whom does Alice Bailey say the "coming advanced occultists" will serve? She states they will serve the Great One, the New Age Christ [Antichrist]!
It would be so easy to dismiss these rumors as typical tall tales of the Middle Ages. But in their confessions the knights admitted that they did these horrible things in their rituals. They said it was all part of the worship of their demonic idol, a head named Baphomet. They also voluntarily proclaimed that it was the worship of the head which made them wealthy.
Another rumor floating around at the end of the 13th century was that the Templars acquired their wealth because their founders had made a pact with the Devil. According to this theory they allegedly kept the Pope under their control and compelled others to give them money through the power of witchcraft. Stories had begun to leak from disgruntled ex-knights about the secret initiation rituals. Word was getting around about the idol worship, the obscene kisses, the homosexual orgies, and the desecration of the Cross. Why would men in such important, respectable positions do such things, unless they were benefiting from it in some tangible way?
However, the most important moment for the Templars had come in March of 1139, when Pope Innocent II issued a papal bull entitled “Omne Datum Optimum” (“Every Best Gift”). In it, the Knights Templar were declared the “true Israelites,” and the Pope’s private army, answerable to him alone. No other king, bishop or nobleman had any ultimate authority over them. They were granted the right to form their own priesthood, with full authority to forgive sins and to raise tithes. They were also given the right to lend money with interest, something that the Church’s anti-usury policy forbade all other Christians from doing.
At dawn on Friday the 13th, 1307, the Knights Templar in France were arrested en masse by King Philip IV’s seneschals. Philip was out to get the order. He owed them a lot of money, and they had embarrassed him by refusing him membership to their club. Now he planned to use his influence on the papacy to have them disbanded. He had already sent in spies to join the order and see if the rumors were true–that there was something unholy about the Templar initiation ceremony. What his spies reported back would make anyone’s hair stand on end.
When the stories of the spies are combined with the confessions of the tortured knights, a remarkably cohesive, if horrific, pattern begins to form. Some details differed, but only in the ways one would expect–just small variations in the practices of particular Templar ceremonies at particular locations. The Templars apparently had a secret Rule, different than the one given to them by their patron, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. Outwardly, they were Christian warrior-monks, pledged to fight for the protection and expansion of Christendom, and to adhere to an extremely ascetic lifestyle. Inwardly, however, they practiced anti-Christian rites.
At initiation new recruits were forced to kiss the naked behind of one of their new brothers, although sometimes the backside of a goat or a cat was substituted. They were made to spit upon the Cross, revoke their Christian baptism, and denounce Jesus. Some confessing knights said they were taught by their superiors that John the Baptist was the true Christ, not Jesus. They were then introduced to their new savior, whom they were to worship. It was a “head” of some sort named “Baphomet.” None of the inquisitors knew what that meant at the time, and no translation was offered by any of the confessors.

Politicians throughout the world likewise deliberately downplay the role of Devil Worship in criminal activity. The deliberate governmental attempts at cover-up in the Dutroux scandal in Belgium acts as an acute example as has been demonstrated. A great deal of Satanism involves child molestation and pornography. This area too is downplayed by governments.
Consider, that six billion people live on this planet and that only two billion have a basic standard of living. Four billion human beings live in squalid conditions, go to bed hungry every night and have no health care to speak of. Most of these people have not even used a telephone in their lives. Of the two billion who live well only five or six thousand actually control all of the wealth. The majority of rulers on the top of the political and economic pyramid either belong to a Luciferian secret society or are somehow under the control or influence of elite Devil worshipers. To reach the tip of this pyramid one must be a member of one of these Luciferian groups. The public must be informed and educated concerning this horrible state of affairs or Satanic crime will remain a threat in the new millennium and the powers that be will continue raising hell.
Since the Catholic priest pedophile scandal broke in 2002, there is even more proof of a sex magick cult in the Catholic Church where various priests have been worshiped as Jesus Christ in secret sex rites. According to the Boston Globe, Father Robert Meffan and Father James Foley both claimed to be Jesus Christ and initiated young gullible women into a covert sex cult. Each priest had young women worship him as Jesus Christ much in the same manner as Manson.
Marc Dutroux, his accomplices, and victims all claimed they were part of a larger international network of pedophiles and that many of the world’s elite participated in orgies. The exploited pre-teen and teenaged girls were supplied for this ring by a vast global network of procurers who kidnapped and sold young attractive girls and boys to this cabal. In essence, Dutroux was claiming to be a low man on a very high totem pole of perverts who sought sex slaves to appease their sick desires. The issue of Satanism connections came up early in the police investigation of Dutroux and his crew of child abductors. Like many aspects of the investigation, the link to Satanism was lost behind a smoke screen of apparent incompetence.
