BAPHOMET : A Message ON THE Classify
From: Give of Nine Angles, Wales
The name Baphomet is regarded by traditional Satanists as meaning
'the Mistress (or Father) of Blood' - the Mistress who sometimes
washes in the blood of her foes and whose hands are thereby stained.
Exhibit of Recalling'.}
The presumed origin is from the Greek - baphe metra and not
as is sometimes held from - metios (the Attic form for sensible).
Such a use of the appellation 'Mother'/Mistress was quite earthy in following Greek alchemical writings - for taste, Iamblichus in 'De Mysteriis' hand-me-down metriso to nasty weird by the mother of the gods. End
alchemical writings tended to use the prefix to nasty a exacting
type of crossbreed (and some cargo space this to be a metaphor for the crossbreed of Sol with Luna in the sexual heart).
In the septenary practice Baphomet, as Mistress of Nest, is connected to the sixth sound (Jupiter) and the star Deneb. She is fittingly in one heart a magickal forage Total admission money qv the Nine Angles and her reflexion (or contributing as against her 'acausal' or ghostly silhouette) is the third sound (Venus) coexistent to the star Antares. According to
esoteric tradition the Antares aspect was grand by finances in
Albion c. 3,000 time BP - in the plan and just before the end of the month of May and some stones circles/sacred sites were held to be
connected for Antares. In assessment, the ghostly aspect of the
Mistress (i.e. Baphomet) was grand in the Autumn and was
connected to the rebellious of Arcturus, Arcturus itself personage coexistent to the ghostly male aspect (second sound of the septenary), highly developed renowned with Lucifer/Satan. Thus, the Esteemed celebration was a
ghostly hierosgamos - the partnership of Baphomet with her spouse (or nun who took on the individual of the ghostly male aspect).
According to tradition, the Cleric was sacrificed at the rear the sexual partnership, everywhere the individual of Baphomet was understood by the Priestess/Mistress of the cult. Thus, the May celebration was the
(re-)commence of new energies (and the child of partnership). Organization relates this ghostly sacred Arcturian rite as steal place subsequently every seventeen time. Once again, some sacred sites in Albion are held to be connected to the rebellious of Arcturus, complete three thousand time ago. In the Median Ages, Baphomet became to be regarded as the Bride of Satan - and it was from this time that apiece 'Baphomet' and 'Satan', as names for the the female and male aspect of the dark get ready came in the sphere of use (at smallest in the secret ghostly tradition).
Then the traditional portrayal of baphomet - a noticeable erudite
mortal (habitually shown exposed) holding up the cut off forefront of the sacrificed priest (predictably shown bearded).
To some range the Templars recharged part of this cult, but in the absence of any real esoteric understanding and for their own purposes. They
adopted Baphomet as a type of female Yeshua but with some bloody/sinister aspects - and differing to utmost native concept, they were not luxury
'Satanic'. Rather, they saw themselves as holy warriors and became a military cult with bonds of honour, nevertheless their manufacture of holy differed partly from that of the Church of the time, with as it
did dark/gnostic aspects. Their sacrifices were in pursuit - and not as part of a exacting rite.
The image of Baphomet (e.g. by Levi) as a asexual figurine are
admiring confusions and/or distortions: essentially of the symbolic/real partnership of Mistress and Cleric and his highly developed sufferer for a cause. The same applies to the origin of the suffix of Her name with prudence (and a male
image at that!) - even the muddled gnostics assumed prudence as female.
