check 84.94.27.22's tinkering with Hebrew characters, someone who knows what they are talking about ;) -- 1pezguy 05:59, Jul 25, 2004 (UTC)
I thought that picture of the seated man-goat was, in fact, the Goat of Mendes, a representation of polarity (essentially a Western equivalent to the yin yang).
There are a number of images of Baphomet taken from Templar coffers at About's Gnostic/Hermetic Images - Baphomet page . Each likeness has a consistent theme of polarity. Interesting, no? Alt-o 10:04, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
Some going about in circles in recent edits about how the lead should read... it could be clearer by whom/how/when/where/why Baphomet was thought to be an Islamic deity. At the moment "Some modern scholars such as Peter Partner and Malcolm Barber agree that the name of Baphomet was an Old French corruption of the name Muhammad, with the interpretation being that some of the Templars, through their long military occupation of the Outremer, had begun incorporating Islamic ideas into their belief system, and that this was seen and documented by the Inquisitors as heresy.[10] Peter Partner's 1987 book The Knights Templar and their Myth says, 'In the trial of the Templars one of their main charges was their supposed worship of a heathen idol-head known as a 'Baphomet' ('Baphomet' = Mahomet).'" is the only part that aims at that, but it doesn't quite get there.

Is Baphomet a modern version of the sumerian demon Pazuzu? - (compare their arms position and wings) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.59.100.35 ( talk) 10:11, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Ive seen depiction of abraxas sitting cross legged its same as baphomet. Templars used abraxas aka baphomet on their coins and seals. 2600:1700:7A7C:CFB0:59EE:B03B:F6DE:17BD ( talk) 08:08, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
