Baphomet - associated with a " Sabbatic Goat" image drawn by Eliphas Levi (on which this illustration is based), containing binary elements representing the " sum total of the universe" (e.g. male and female, good and evil, etc.). On one hand, Levis intention was to symbolise his concept of " the equilibrium of the opposites" that was essential to his magnetistic notion of the Astral Light

1861 Accused Balance Demonic Evil Folklore Goat Good Headed Levi Mythical Shape Shapes Templars Total True Universe Worshipped Worshipping Equilibrium Opposites
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic image of Baphomet, also known as the "Sabbatic Goat," drawn by the renowned occultist Eliphas Levi in 1861. The illustration is a visual representation of Levi's concept of the "equilibrium of opposites," symbolizing the balance between binary elements such as male and female, good and evil, and other dualities that make up the sum total of the universe.
Levi's intention with this depiction was to convey his belief in the essential nature of balancing opposing forces within oneself and in the greater cosmos. The imagery of Baphomet has been associated with folklore, mythology, and even alleged demonic worship by groups like the Knights Templar.
The goat-headed figure at the center of this artwork is both enigmatic and powerful, embodying a sense of mystery and mystique. Despite being accused of worshipping dark forces, Baphomet represents more than just evil; it signifies a deeper understanding of true equilibrium between light and shadow.
This print serves as a reminder that harmony can be found in embracing all aspects of existence, no matter how contradictory they may seem. It is a testament to Levi's profound insights into spiritual philosophy and his ability to capture complex ideas through symbolic shapes and forms.
