The Initiatory Challenge of a Cute Baphomet

Last updated on: August 27, 2023 at 9:15 pm By Heron Michelle

"The Baphomet should never be cute." I overheard this spoken among our customers at the Mystic South Conference this July. They scowled with disapproval at my own colorful rendering of this often misunderstood symbol. Bemused as I was, that comment got me to thinking about the misunderstandings surrounding the original Baphomet symbol since its creation by Eliphas Levi 169 years ago. I'd like to talk about that more. Read more
