The Baphomet tattoo is popular amongst those that follow occult and mystical traditions. But the image is much more than that for the people that get the Baphomet tattoo. Baphomet is a mysterious figure with the head of a goat. This figure happens to be in many instances during the history of occultism.
You can imagine with the head of a goat, this might be a pretty wild looking figure that can be tattooed in many ways. It’s a brave move to get a Baphomet tattoo these days. Regardless of what you think of the occult, a tattoo like this is going to draw eyes for better or worse.
Let’s talk about Baphomet so you have an idea of the tattoo you are thinking about getting.
Baphomet appeared first in the trial transcripts for the Knights Templar in the 14th century. By the 19th century, the name had come into popular English language.
Since back in 1856, the name of Baphomet has been associated with a goat headed creature that was drawn by Eliphas Levi. Levi was an author of the occult by way of France. Anyways, the essentials of this drawing include elements that stand for the sum total of the universe. In the time the Baphomet was drawn, Levi’s intention was to create a symbolization of his concept of “the equilibium of the opposites”. It was a large part of his notion of Astral Light. On the other hand, the Baphomet stands for a sacrilegious tradition that is supposed to give rise to a perfect social order.
However, the first time the name Baphomet was seen was in a letter by a crusader by the name of Anselm of Ribemont in 1098. In this letter, Anselm of Ribemont wrote they had “called loudly upon Baphometh” all the while praying silently to God. This was defeat their enemies.
There is also a strong connection with Baphomet and the Knights Templar. When the Knights Templar were stifled by King Philip IV of France, in 1307, he had many of the French Templars arrested and then tortured these men until they confessed to their transgressions. King Philip also owed a debt to the Knights Templar, so this is one potential reason he had them all arrested.
