--Travis McHenry, creator of Occult Tarot and Angel Tarot Baphomet, often misunderstood and cloaked in misinterpretations, has left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness--standing at the crossroads of the occult, religion, and the quest for arcane knowledge. Baphomet's origins are as elusive as their symbolic form, yet we begin our inquiry with the Templars, where the name was perhaps first uttered. We trace Baphomet's course through history, their intersections with Gnostic thought, Freemasonry, the teachings of Aleister Crowley and Eliphas Lvi, and the myriad occult groups that have drawn upon Baphomet's potent symbolism. Baphomet Revealed will take readers on a journey that weaves together the threads of history, symbolism, and esoteric philosophy, unraveling the tapestry of Baphomet's enduring mystique. This provocative entity exists simultaneously as myth, magick, and symbol. Over the years, Baphomet has been called a demon, deity, and the devil himself, but Baphomet is none of these--the figure is, in reality, a symbol--a complex cipher holding within their form the keys to profound philosophical and esoteric truths. Author Heather Lynn draws extensively from primary sources, including historical depictions and magical seals associated with Baphomet, inviting readers to engage with the symbol directly. By melding rigorous academic inquiry with a spirit of open-minded exploration, Baphomet Revealed aims to shed new light on this shadowy figure, illuminating Baphomet's proper place in the annals of human thought and spiritual endeavor.
