Derived from Greek βαϕή baphe, βάπτω ("I dip") "immersion" + Μῆτις, Metis "wisdom," "skill," or "craft." Thus, Baphomet means "baptism" or initiation into wisdom. The Baphoment represents Pan, the force of nature that Adam and Eve have to tame and master in order to return to Eden.
A medieval mystic term usually identified with the goat of Mendes. The Templars of Malta were accused of worshiping Baphomet as an idol. Baphomat signifies a baptism in wisdom or initiation, but became degraded and misunderstood when the keys to its real meaning were lost.
The term baphomet hides a message when read backwards: Tem-o-h-p-ab, which is the symbol of the Latin words "Templi ommun hominum pacis abbas," which means, "The Father of the temple of universal peace for men."
Just like the pentagram, the meaning behind baphomet has been lost and inversed in popular culture. Think of the upside down cross. They will turn positive symbols into negative symbols. Always two sides to the coin.
I noticed Pan and Greek Myths added to 3rd grade common core curriculum. I feel like the Neo pagans wanna take down Christ n Western Civ to more openly celebrate their paganism of old- Gaia worship, and really abhorrent paganism like human sacrifice and animal worship etcetera.
All religions are beautiful, needed, necessary, and important - in their true form. There is only one God, it is all the same God and the same teaching. Nowadays we don't understand the Greek symbolism anymore & we don't even understand our own religion in the west. Written in code in Hebrew/Aramaic, we now rely on altered, degenerated, mistranslated & misinterpreted surface readings of the Bible. It would be foolish to think that the common person has any real understanding of what the Greeks / "pagans" truly believed. All religions, in their pure and true teachings, teach the same exact thing, because divinity, 'God', is universal. Yet we are so ignorant to quickly dismiss those things of which we have no cognizance, that is true knowledge that comes from experience. We can all experience divinity, and if we did, we would feel quite stupid fighting over "your" and "my" religion.
