    I've been feeling baphomet call to me recently, and have had some experiences I feel I communicated with them. I've been looking for ACTUAL information, but anything I've been finding is so modernized that I'm hesitant to take it seriously. I believe I've been called to your video, and you've addressed EVERYTHING I feel like need to know for right now. Thank you so much for your video, your information, and your time!

      Like everyone else. The first time I saw the Baphomet It was horrifying. Like some kind of evil roach god from hell. But in reality it is very innocent and loaded with positive symbolism. Basically it tells you how to pray and how the physical world interacts with the spiritual world.
      Just by understanding that the goat symbolizes natural desire like little pigmy goats romping through a spring field full of flowers, and the wings mean exactly what they mean when you see an image of an angel.
      Draw the Baphomet as a Bunny or Kitten instead and add a few flowers here and there and it would have the same meaning but would look less intimidating.
      The modern day Satanists and pop culture use of the image are very misleading. Anybody anywhere that thinks the Baphomet is a god or actual Animal is lost and would be better off worshiping spongebob.

    Solve et coagula in latin means "Separate and join together" or "dissolve and coagulate" not "As above, so below".
    To me this means: We can become god or at least enlightened if we separate from wordly problems and possessions as well as our dependence to human institutions (such as churches) we can join together or even become like god. It is a symbol deeply rooted in the ideals of enlightenment and can also be seen as a representation of science and the wish to find truth.

    Coagula, if its of any help is pronounced "ko-a-gyooluh". It references breaking down in alchemy, Solve (dissolve), and building back up (coagula(te)). I hope this helps!

    There was a Christian historian/Knight during the time of the Crusades of the Middle East who wrote a letter to the Pope of the time he described within it a fight between Knights Templar and the Muslims, he said that they (the Saracens/Muslims) “called upon their Baphometh while we (the Knights) silently prayed to God in our hearts”. You see Christians during the Middle Ages had a very bad view of Islam, they genuinely believed that we Muslims worship a pagan deity called Termagant (which is a completely made up name it’s not even Arabic nor does it have any meaning to it) or that we worshipped our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) or in some cases Satan himself, which is ABHORRENTLY wrong as you no doubt know. And so the historian who wrote the that letter actually misheard the name Mahomet which is the Latin name of the Holy prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and instead thought Muslims were saying baphomet and thus concluded that we were worshipping a pagan deity which was called as such by the Muslims (and not “Targum” as the Christians believed before) while we Muslims worship GOD Almighty just like those cursed crusaders who used to call us heathens while it is they who are heathens cause they worship Jesus and Mary who BOTH were blessed human beings no more than that and who pray to idols and crucifixes. While if you enter a Muslim mosque you won’t find SHIT it’s empty we don’t even have images or paintings let alone idols because TRUE Muslims who aren’t hypocrites truly fear God and won’t do such a horrid sin. I also believe this letter was written well before the incident of the Knights Templar you know the bullcrap story that was made up by the Church deliberately of how they were worshipping this “Baphomet” the “Muslim pagan deity”. It was all a crazy conspiracy made up against them purposefully by the Pope. The Knights probably just converted to Islam which ironically promoted the worship of GOD. The same Father the Christians put their Faith in. Here’s an excerpt of the letter: “As the next day dawned, they called loudly upon Baphometh; and we prayed silently in our hearts to God, then we attacked and forced all of them outside the city walls.”

    He wants you to know that he would rather you didn’t say his name so many times. It catches his attention more than necessary.
    You seem to describe him pretty well from my understanding, although I don’t have much experience with him. I had very little knowledge of him when I met him. I did not call into him, or summon him intentionally.
    He didn’t seem to be good or evil, yet he feels as if he has great potential to be either, or both. He seems fair and honest (remember I have very limited experience with him), however I imagine that he is something different to different people. He accepts sacrifices (I’ve never offered one personally). I can only remember the area from his chest and neck. He did not have breasts like a woman exactly. His chest was extremely powerful, and his skin was jet black and leathery looking, but far stronger than anything that could be described as leathery. He is much larger than men (I imagine about 13-16ft tall, and has noticeably superb posture. He was shrouded in darkness, but he did not feel like darkness, but more like poise and intelligence. I did not sense ego, or a sense of superiority. Quite the contrary. I don’t think that he is big on seeking attention. That’s mostly all I know on the matter.
    I’ll give it to you. You definitely show signs of a gifted and keen spirit. That’s very rare in my experience. Curious

    I wanted to get a small basic tattoo of the Baphomet, just because I thought it looked cool and I sometimes drew it in pentagrams when I drew little funny satanic cartoons.. but tbh I had no idea what it even meant, I just went off of what I saw in movies of how it was portrayed as an evil worshipping goat and what my religion (Catholic) told me it was, which was evil. But this is so interesting to me and I really like the statue. I’ll definitely be doing more research on this.

    Personally, I feel that for the most part, we created the gods, not the other way around. So with a diety or idol like Baphomet, it's all about your personal interpretation. He has a lot of balanced symbolism (ex. breasts and phallus, as above so below, human and animal parts, etc.) I think those elements are very misunderstood and prejudiced. But as a whole, everyone will interpret the connotation of a diety's motifs differently. Hope I offered a bit of knowledge to those saying "He means this..." Everyone has different eyes :)

      Yes. It is just a symbol that lays out how to pray. Not a single temple knight ever believed there was ever a god or animal like the Baphomet. And they never worshiped it. Instead it was a reminder of what takes place when you pray effectively. It was never intended to look scary. the goat is about innocence and natural desire.

    From what I understand, most academic circles agree that Baphomet was a medieval French misspelling of the name Mohammed. When the king of France and the pope conspired to dismantle the Knights Templar on Friday 13, October, 1307, the official charge was heresy. Supposedly the Knights worshipped this idol among other things. Since then conspiracy theorists(fanboys) of the whole affair continued to fan the flames. The truth of the matter is unknown to me, as I was still in eastern Europe at the time. I have little doubt that Baphomet has since achieved a life of its own, if there wasn't something before. Still, it is a lovely piece of art and I find your interpretation of it most intriguing. Thank you for sharing, Cricketsong.

    • @CricketSong
      @CricketSong  10 років тому

      Thank you for sharing. I did read about the Old French corruption of the name of Mohammed (Mahomet). It was very interesting to me. I've also read that the name was a combination of the Greek words baphe and metis which translates to absorption and wisdom.
      Baphomet fascinates me so any information I come across I compile.

    Merry Meet, CricketSong! I've just discovered your channel, and am enjoying it very much. What a great statue - I've never had the instinct to work with Baphomet myself, but I enjoy calling upon Hermes/Mercury to align with some similar or associated energies. I find the caduceus to be a very reassuring image and idea, in particular, as it is the traditional symbol of medicine and healers (my parents as well as many of my family members are doctors, and so it is for me a way to honor and open myself to my ancestors). Thanks for sharing and teaching - blessed be, and much love to you. xx

    Hey Its me again margaret!! Lol this whole thing is hard for me so let me just jump into it! Since you are so awsome and informative and full of re minders. I was avoiding this video since I found your channel. Its probably the driving force of my stray into solitude before I just stopped practicing for a while and in thst time i had alot of trama and loss. First you have to understand that tho I always felt called to the occult esoteric, lunar working, and even fairy magic since i was 3 or 4, I stayed within the church. I was raised baptist till early teens when I wondered from church to church and settled a year or two in a penticostal church. (untill they told me i must get rid of and burn all my rock musuc my whole collection of that and my unicorns)..... I shit! They cornered me one day to annoint me and this song running with the devil came on the radio. I recognized the tune and hit the power button and ran! So tho Ive not been back to church but once since I do really resonate with Jesus christ. I know this probably sounds awful coming from a proclaimed witch. But I also dont believe in religion as a whole. Or anything that man has organized and said or else something bad like hell will happen. I believe more in chaos because thats how things feel to me. I feel that most spells are manipulative and may interfere with mother natures balance. I really dont want to mess with that unless I absolutly have to. Like with healing. I feel like we are here spirits in manifested human form to learn. We are all a part of a whole the way all on earth is a part of her or how all of our cells are a part of the whole of us. I also believe in the what you send out you also get back.... Tho seems i rarely see this. So I feel im a walking contradictions. It honestly brings me to tears because ultamatly I want to bring healing and love. And I believe I magick. I think just the flutter of a bats wing or butterfly wing is magic... The way we breath, our heart beat the softness of an old ladys hands, the orb weavers web, the birth of a child, the death of a long lived elder, the way the universe keeps a chaotic balance. I believe in so many things seen and unseen. So now to baphmet..... Ugh... I am somewhat fearful to look upon this image. They say pagans dont believe in satan (not saying they are the same) but I do believe there are good and bad angels. And satan could possibly exist. And I could never honor that. I really dig the way you described all the symbolism. I am all about symbolism and ceremony as for me it solidifies and brings to focus the intentions. Which my ceremonies are almost always in nature with some objects from the alter thst calls out to me. And its just appriciation honoring and healing ceremonies or workings. Now I have called on thunder and rain but other than that thats it. I just feel like your so right about being fearless and in truth with the innerself. So this has been a struggle for almost 30 years now!! And this feels good to finally tell someone....whew. So I think I already know what probably 2 answers you would give me. So heres the question!!! Lol what the heck is my problem!!!! ?????
    So sorry this was a book and I would have sent privately but maybe someone out there is struggling with this as well and something about bringing something thst felt dark to me into the light!! Lol....
    Again... I really dig this chsnnel. And appriciate your sharing so freely your wisdom and heart. People need truth and I dont just feel but I know that you are truth and light!!
    🙏Thank you... And hey you... I love you too✨💜🌙💜✨

      Being that I was raised in a Roman Catholic home (received all appropriate sacraments, attended a Catholic High School and considered becoming a Nun) and then attended a Methodist Church, and finally was baptized a Jehovah's Witness BEFORE finding home within paganism I think I can have some understanding of your contradictions. I think that your "problem" or struggle lies in FEAR and GUILT that organized religions love to use to control their members / followers. But I also believe that your FEAR and GUILT is going to be personal to you. So even though you and I may have been raised Christian the FEAR and GUILT I hold within me will be different that yours and as we travel our personal paths in Paganism and Witchcraft we will be asked to gaze upon the image of Bapthomet and delve into the darkness and illuminate with our own light and that of Nature (the gods) so that we can be freed from these limiting restraints that were laid upon us by MEN. But, meh, these are just my thoughts and opinions. Much love, Angie.

    The correct pronunciations are "BAF-oh-MAY," (coming from the French) "SOHL-vay" and "ko-AYE-gyoo-lah" (both Latin, "break-down" and "bring-together," respectively. "Solve" is the root of "dissolve," meaning to "render back to basic, individual component parts," and "coagula" is the root of "coagulate," which is what blood is doing when it clots.

    Great video , going to get a baphomet tattoo soon and wanted to make sure I knew what it was before getting it , I had a good idea but now I know for sure.its represents all the elements and the completeness on the physical plains of earth , and also As above so below , ying and yang , opposites are equal , and opposites need eachother, it's crazy too because my gf is straight up catholic and I'm straight up Laveyn satanist . She respects my religion and I accept her to have her own religion . I like how you said that baphomet is meant to be a grotesque image or a scary image to people because it wards off people who are afraid , but if you're not afraid and can control your fear you can look at this image and can go deeper into knowledge . that's how I feel about scary things . Like ghost hunting or abandoned house exploring in the woods , or forest exploring . because people who are scared are single-minded and don't think outside the box they think what they think and don't want to change it because they are afraid of change, they want to live in their tiny box where everything is going to be ok k but it's really not . You need to always prepare for the worst and expect the worst. Life is not sunshine and rainbows there is a lot of evil out there protect your family and yourself , fight fire with fire , and you we'll always win .

      adrian7272 I don't necessarily believe that anyone should prepare for the worst and expect the worst. Situations and people will meet your expectations so if you expect the worst then that is exactly what you will manifest. Magick is about setting forth an intention and manipulating the energy through emotions and Will to manifest what is intended and I for one, intend the best for myself. I agree life is not always sunshine and rainbows however one who practices magick can take a not so desirable situation and conform it to their Will. Much love.

      Baphomet is a very misunderstood deity. He is the father of all gods and goddesses,he was never evil or dark nor was he ever known as Satan til Christianity came along in the fourth eon. But even still baphomet and Satan are not the same and never will be as baphomet is much more ancient than the Christian concept of Satan. One who wishes to learn of baphomet truly should seek him spiritually to find the answers they seek and learn to not be afraid of his being for he's a very loving god. I myself personally worship him and work with him cause of everything he symbolizes truthfully and there is no other I would follow when it comes to baphomet as he is also 7 God's in one form/one body and he rules over 5 kingdoms in life people are only scared of what they don't understand especially when it comes to baphomet who indeed is very very ancient as time itself

      +Le'Jem Magics I have a few videos about a Wiccan's view of Satanism that if you have not yet seen I would encourage you to view them. Perhaps they may aid you in your own search. Much love!

    So are you an occultist or are you just interested into the esoteric?

      +sauceboss510 I am a practicing witch and Wiccan but have an inclination to delve into the occult as well as esoteric philosophies.

      Another question, if you feel inclined to answer. Does opening your third eye help in your endeavors to becoming a which?

    I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Baphomet does remind me of the Devil card in the Tarot which is one of the most powerful cards for doing "shadow" work and overcoming fears and attachments to the material world.

      Yes, Baphomet does remind me of the Devil card as well. Much love to you!
