Item:121508614330Baphomet Statue - Horned Goat God by Maxine Miller ~ Cold Cast Bronze ~ 15". In mystic symbolism, the image of the hermaphroditic Baphomet is
representative of the Great Oneness (the Universe/the One God), the
dualistic nature, the Void and Manifest Existence, the association of
the spiritual and the physical, and the undying Truths of Existence to
be discovered in the pursuit of Light. When viewed through this mystical
perspective, it is no more an image of evil than of good; it is a
portrayal of the Whole, a point of focus for meditation for the
philosopher who approaches understanding without superstitious
supposition.
Inspired by the famous line drawing by Eliphas Levi, the great French
magus of the 19th century, which was composed as the frontispiece to
second section of his masterwork "The Ritual and Dogma of High Magic".
Levi devised this picture, which synthesizes many elements and symbols
from a variety of religious and magickal traditions to illustrate the
concept of "astral light, the great magical agent," the medium through
which all seeming miracles are performed.
Because this drawing was originally intended to be correctly understood
by only initiates of the Mystery Traditions, in more recent times it has
been greatly misunderstood, maligned and sometimes abused by the
ignorant and those who are unable to perceive its true meaning. Levi
alternately titled this drawing "The Sabbatic Goat" (in reference to
rites once held in honor of the divine goat of Mendes in ancient Egypt).
It is also "Baphomet of the Templars" (the order of the Knights
Templar, the forerunners of modern Freemasonry). Ceremonial magicians
and Witches have often recognized this symbol as one of the many
representations of the Horned God, although this figure is never
worshiped.
To quote Levi, "Baphomet is not a God: he is the sign of initiation. He
is also the hieroglyphic figure of the great divine TETRAGRAMMATON - he
is a hold-over from the cherubs of the ark and the holy of holies - he
is the guardian of the key to the temple - the goat which is represented
in our frontispiece bears upon it's forehead the sign of the pentagram
with one point in the ascendant, which is sufficient to distinguish it
as a symbol of light - between his horns he carries the torch of life,
and the living soul of this torch is God - it is also the type of the
soul exalted above matter, even while cleaving to matter, as the flame
cleaves to the torch."
