Baphomet'i nime päritolu ei ole selge. Tundub, et see on kombinatsioon kahest kreekakeelsest sõnast baphe ja metis, mis tähendab "teadmiste imendumist". Teised autorid väidavad, et see on moonutus sõnast "Mohamet" (Mohammed), kuid esimene määratlus näib olevat täpsem. Baphomet on pärit "Mendesi kitsest". Baphomet oli ka Aleister Crowley üks varjunimesid. Baphometit on nimetatud ka "Mendesi kitseks" ja "Mustaks kitseks".

Kits on seotud ka viljakusega ja sümboliseerib alkeemias Magnum Opust, kui inimese kundalini energiad suurenevad. Vaimne alkeemia pärineb Vanast-Egiptusest ja on inimhinge muundumine jumalaks. See on meie Looja-Jumala Saatana töö lõpuleviimine.

Kõige kuulsam ajalooline kirjeldus Baphometist sai alguse templirüütlitest. Templirüütlite ajal usuti, et Baphomet on iidol, mida kujutati inimkoljuga, topisest inimpea või metall- või puust peaga, millel on lokkis mustad juuksed, või mõnikord ka musta kassina. Räägitakse, et templirüütlid kummardasid seda iidolit viimasel ajal kui viljakuse ja rikkuse allikat. Templirüütlid, keda tuntakse ka kui "Kristuse vaeseid rüütleid", said alguse 1118. aastal Hugh de Payens Champagne'i Prantsusmaalt.

Ordu sai alguse üheksast või üheteistkümnest mehest, kes saadeti Pühale Maale, et kaevata lahti "Saalomoni tempel" mitme Euroopa jõuka perekonna jaoks, kes olid nõudnud teatud artefakte, mis olid sinna sattunud enne selle hävitamist 70. aastal pKr. Ordu võttis endale askeesi, tsölibaadi, pühendumuse katoliku kirikule ja vaesuse vande. Neile oli keelatud igasugune isiklik vara. Kõik ordu poolt kogutud varad tuli jagada ühiselt. Templi all kaevates leidsid rüütlid kulda ja iidseid reliikviaid ning ka palju kirjarulle.

Varsti pärast seda kerkisid üle kogu Euroopa uhked katedraalid ja muud ehitised. Enamik gooti deemonitest on tuntud oma arhitektuurialaste teadmiste poolest ning on olemas legendid, mis väidavad, et paljud sillad ja ehitised Euroopas on ehitatud Saatana ja tema deemonite poolt.²

"Saalomoni templi" tegelik tähendus on Päikesetempel. "Sol" "Om" ja "On" on kõik sõnad Päikese jaoks. "Sol" on ladinakeelne sõna Päikese kohta ja on lähedane inglise sõnale "soul". "Om" on hindude poolt antud nimi Vaimulikule Päikesele ja "On" on Egiptuse sõna Päikese jaoks. Saalomoni templi sümboolika on varastatud ja tehtud tegelikuks tegelaseks, nagu ka väljamõeldud jeesus ja peaaegu kõik juudi/kristlikus piiblis. Lisainformatsiooni saamiseks:

Lõpuks määrati templirüütlid kaitsma Püha Maad ja hoidma seda moslemite eest ristisõdade ajal. Ordu kasvas tuhandeid kordi ja rühmitusi organiseeriti kogu Euroopas, kuid Prantsusmaa jäi nende tugipunktiks.

Nende pitseril on kujutatud kahte meest, kes ratsutavad ühel hobusel, sest ordu varases ajaloos ei saanud rüütlid kõigile lubada ühte hobust. Oma reisidel Lähis-Ida Pühale maale ja tagasi kohtasid nad palju erinevaid rahvaid. Võimalik, et nad said teada Mendesi kitse kohta, sest moslemid pidasid arvestust ja olid teadlikud Vana-Egiptuse ajaloost, kust Mendesi kitse pärineb.

Templirüütlid kasvasid nii suuruselt kui ka jõukuselt, saavutades oma kõrgpunkti 14. sajandil. Ristisõdade lõppemine ei avaldanud ordule mingit mõju, sest nad kasutasid võimalust reisimiseks ning kaubanduse ja rahalaenamisega tegelemiseks. Nad lõid vaherahu ajal vaenlasega väga tulusaid ärisuhteid. Ordu kogus tohutut jõukust ja võimu. Lõpuks langesid nad ohvriks nii ahnele katoliku kirikule, kes oli teadlik nende keelatud teadmistest, kui ka Prantsusmaa kuningale Philipp IV-le, kes oli väidetavalt suurtes võlgades ja võlgnes ordule märkimisväärse summa.

*Kui ma olen uurinud, tundub, et tegelik põhjus, miks katoliku kirik Templirüütli Ordut taga kiusas, oli nende okultistlikud teadmised ja võim, mille nad omandasid templi all kaevamistel. See võim tõi neile tohutut rikkust, nagu see peakski tegema neile, kes seda omavad, ja teadmisi, kuidas seda kasutada.

Philip IV plotted along with Pope Clement V to destroy the order. October 13th 1307, Philip IV had Grand Master Jacques de Molay and 140 other knights arrested in the Paris Temple. More arrests followed throughout France.

The Templars were subjected to torture en masse. The Catholic Church with its inquisitors, accused them of Devil worship, blasphemy, sodomy, and idolatry. There was secrecy surrounding their meetings and wild rumors spread concerning bizarre initiation rituals that did much to promote public suspicion of the order. Under torture, members of the order admitted to renouncing the nazarene, spitting, trampling and urinating on the crucifix, engaging in intercourse with Demons, indulging in “sexual perversity” and to worshipping the idol of Baphomet. Many of the Templars were burned at the stake and murdered by the inquisition, the most noted being Grand Master Jacques de Molay. After being imprisoned and tortured for seven years, he was burnt alive at the stake.

The Shroud of Turin was of the blood and body fluids of Jacques de Molay as he was laid on a soft feather bed to recover for more torture from the Catholic inquisitors. Upon close examination, it is obvious given the position of the body (the top part is shown below), there is no way this was the Nazarene.

The shroud was also inspected by several diverse scholars who proved beyond any doubt, given the material and constituents, the item was no older than the 12th century. The Catholic Church being the prolific liar that it is, continues to scam people to this day

I would also like to add in revising this article in light of new knowledge, Christianity appears to have manifested with the Inquisition. It is nowhere near as old as the "two thousand years" they claim it to be. History is and has been rewritten with lies, while being destroyed at the same time.

A very blatant example is what is now and has been occurring in Iraq. What we have been indoctrinated to believe in history class is not necessarily the truth. Ancient relics and architecture speak for themselves. In addition, history was written and told by the winners of every war. Remember, there are always two sides to every account. One side is usually the only one that is heard along with permissible opinions only.

Along with the "Shroud of Turin lie (the Nazarene is fictitious and was stolen from an alchemical concept of a working which had its origin in some 18+ PAGAN Gods, such as Odin, who hung from a tree and Set who was crucified on a Furka, Osiris who died and was resurrected, etc.), many PAGAN Gods have been passed off as the Nazarene such as Apollo Images by the hundreds of Pagan Gods are now labeled as the Nazarene. This is no different from the Christianization of Pagan holidays, such as Easter (of Astaroth), the Yule

(which originally had nothing whatsoever to do with the fictitious Nazarene) of which xian fundies are now weeding out the Pagan traditions and replacing them with lies, as they have done with Pagan Temples which were destroyed and had xian churches built directly over them.

Before he was murdered at the stake, Molay cursed both the Pope and the King and predicted the death of both within the year. (Both did die within that time period).

The Baphomet evolved over the centuries. The most widely known representation of the Baphomet is the drawing by 19th century French magician Eliphas Levi called “the Baphomet of Mendes.” Levi combined the images of the Tarot Devil card and the he-goat worshipped in the city of Mendes in Ancient Egypt. It is unclear whether the Ancient Egyptian women had intercourse with the goat during religious rites for fertility, but the Catholic Church claimed this and this is more than likely where the notion that the Devil had intercourse with his witches came from.

The Levi Baphomet is very similar to the Egyptian Akhenaton, which is both male and female (note the male and female features of the body and the serpentine facial features which symbolize the serpent kundalini) portraying the hermaphrodite which is symbolic of merging the male and female aspects of the soul, the ida and the pingala and achieving the godhead. The "monotheism" is another allegory, as the "gods" are in many ancient writings, code-words for the chakras of the soul and when one works to achieve the godhead of the Magnum Opus, all of the chakras are transformed and united into gold. Yoga is a branch of alchemy and the word "Yoga" means "union." This is the unification of the soul. Levi’s famous drawing of Baphomet depicts a male/female image representing the dualistic nature of life. Female breasts and the phallus, one arm masculine, the other feminine, one arm pointing up and the other pointing down representing the Hermetic principle of “as above, so below.”

The image continued to evolve over the years. Anton LaVey spotted an illustration in the book “A Pictorial History of Magic and the Supernatural” by Maurice Bessy © 1961, English edition © 1964. This was the first known published work where the goat headed pentagram was surrounded by two circles and included the Hebrew letters reading “Leviathan.” The names “Samael” and “Lilith” were also included in this depiction. "Leviathan" also known as "Cthulu" is a name for the kundalini serpent

Anton LaVey eliminated the Samael and Lilith and decided this particular symbol best represented the Church of Satan and made it the Church’s logo in 1967. Because of the Hebrew lettering and the circles which are highly offensive to Satan and his Demons, JoS Ministries has removed them and replaced them with cuneiform script reading “Satan.”

The sign of Capricorn, symbolized by the goat represents the new winter sun being reborn again as the days get longer. The goat is one of Satan’s sacred animals. In the fifth century BCE, Herodotus reported that the people of Mendes in the Nile delta venerated all goats, particularly male ones. For the Greeks and Romans, the goat represented virility. Goats are fertile and known to be lusty. The city of Mendes reached its cultural peak when the Ram-God was worshipped, whom the Greeks later equated with Pan. Pan was known as a "satyr." Satyrs had the horns, legs, hooves, and beards of goats. Pan’s symbol was the phallus and he was invoked for the fertility of the flocks or an abundant hunt. He tended flocks and danced through the woods, playing his panpipes, which he invented. As the lusty leader of Satyrs, he chased the Nymphs.

The goat (sometimes a ram was used) was the master of fertility and was celebrated as “copulator in Anep and inseminator in the district of Mendes,” where women were blessed with children. During rituals, women danced naked before the image. The Order of Nine Angles claims another perspective to Baphomet. 7,000 years ago a civilization known as Albion had various rites associated with a Dark Goddess who was known as “Baphomet.”
