So /x/, what exactly does Baphomet do? I've been reading a bit about him on the internet and can't really gather much outside the fact that he's just a symbol for a bunch of different groups.
I also read that he's worshiped by Freemasons, plus he's on a shit ton of Heavy/Thrash/Black Metal album covers
This isn't a bait thread or summerfaggotry, I'm curious to see what the consensus here is

Definitely not worshiped by Masons. This particular iteration was drawn by Levi. Early descriptions of baphomet list it as serpent and lion headed.
>>
>>19094322
Homie dont personalize dem symbols so much. Just look at this nigga. He da man, da hoe, da animalz and da plant. Edgelorda use this as a symbol for logos. Egiptbros use wiged disc for this, and jewbros use dat four letter world. Its just and idea made to help you grasp the concept that you are a part of a being that is "all that is", which is expierincing itself trough conciousness homies like you, so eventually it can immanentize all possibilities, say 'huh' and go back to sleep as unmanifested possibility for everything ( called '0' ), until it gets bored and then the whole fucking circus starts again.

>what exactly does Baphomet do?
That drawing is from Levi symbolising perfect duality in man. It's not a daemon, nor is it an angel. It's not even a "thing/character" It's just two halves to make a whole.
>>
>>19094322
The Baphomet represents the wisdom that comes from realizing duality: male/female, black/white, above/below, left-hand path/right-hand path. It's a purely symbolic being.

lol I needed this

>>19094322
its a representation of the great work fusing all opposites. Male and female, flesh and machine, man and beast, demon and angel, light and dark. The end of all things.

>>19094348
that's the demiurge tho

just looks cool. i have a shirt with it on it.

Baphomet's actual history was destroyed during the crusades. Anyone telling you they know is either full of shit or taught by someone full of shit.

The imagery says he's/she's/it's a god of balance. Dark and light. Mind and body. Peace and war.

I personally see it as a deity of spiritual ascendance. Learning to find harmony in life by understanding the similarities and differences in all things. Recognizing the interconnectedness of reality at large. He bears on his head the same fire prometheus stole form the gods. Baphomet isn't giving it willingly, though. It wears it much like a king wears a crown. Anything you receive from that guy is learned or taken, not gifted.

Just my thoughts and opinions on the matter, though. Means just about as much as anyone else's.

its not a sentient spiritual being, it's a stylized symbol of yin and yang using European archetypes of good and evil as imagery.

but i could be wrong. i've also heard it was a bastardization of the word "mohammed", and I've also heard it's an atabash cipher that translates the name in arabic to "wisdom". no one really knows, but Levi's representation here is nothing more than the medieval European version of DeviantArt
>>
>>19094322
The most important part of that symbol is the Caduceus. Understand that and you will understand the underlying principle of all magic.

>>19094322
The entity that encompasses everything, the good/bad, heaven/hell, light/dark, but still not god.

something like jesus and satan got fused together.
>>
it's the fusion of man and woman

every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end

nah, we don't worship Baphomet. That's something that was made up by Leo Taxil (and published again by this guy called de La Rive) back in the 1800s.
