I love this website. Some really fascinating stuff here.
He asserts that those small figures are such as the Templars, according to the statement of a witness, carried with them in their coffers. Greaves' subsequent online sparring with Feldman resulted in Greaves' brief suspension from Twitter. We Are Legion. In African tradition the goat is used to commemorate cultural important feasts. It is ridiculous that they should be so arrogant as to think they get to define what other people think and do. Possibly even jelouse.
I thought I would post a message and ask for a little advice:. I am currently working on a short fiction that centres around the Crusades, and I am looking for a way to introduce the Baphomet Mythos into the plot. Is it feasible that the KT entered Jerusalem upon its conquest in and used their discovery of Baphomet to bribe the church, thereby bringing about their meteoric rise to fame? Or is this perhaps a bridge too far? Open to ideas. Historically speaking, it is not feasible, as the Templars did not begin until about 20 years after the First Crusade.
As to the finding Baphomet, many nonfiction books have made similar claims, so I think it would work well for a short fiction work. I take your point about the Templars arriving two decades after the First Crusade. The idea of a pseudo-heretical Sufi mystic is an interesting one. Sounds sublime bordering on ridiculous, but not really any more outlandish than most of the other ideas.

Oklahoma eventually lost a lawsuit to the ACLU in state court, which ruled that the Decalogue display violated the state constitution's prohibition of the support of any particular religious sect.
The Temple received a more definitive, if smaller victory that same year in Florida, when it successfully lobbied for the inclusion of its own holiday display inside the state capitol building in Tallahassee. Alongside Christmas decorations and a Festivus pole, the Satanists put up a middle school science fair-esque cardboard box diorama of an angel falling from heaven to hell.
The Temple has a long history of trolling in Florida: Its first public appearance ever was at a rally in early , where members cheered on Governor Rick Scott as he signed a bill to allow prayer in schools. Mirroring their Christian opponents in legislatures and the populace, the Satanic Temple's battles have also focused heavily on reproductive rights.
Specifically, the Satanic Temple has challenged restrictive abortion regulations in courts, and engaged in counter-protests against anti-choice protesters outside Planned Parenthoods. A Broadly documentary from captured a particularly haunting demonstration of Satanic Baby Men agitating in support of an abortion clinic in Michigan. The law was being interpreted to require women to listen to the fetal heartbeat via ultrasound, receive an informational booklet designed to dissuade abortion-seekers, and wait 72 hours before they could end their pregnancies.
In , one Satanic Temple member, identified in the Missouri lawsuit as Mary Doe, drove three hours to what was then the only Planned Parenthood in the state, seeking an abortion. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Temple's fights over egalitarian treatment in the public square have not been limited to physical spaces. In January, Jezebel reported that the Temple threatened to sue Twitter after former child actor Corey Feldman—who starred in The Goonies , Stand by Me , and Gremlins —retweeted an account advocating for the Satanic Temple's headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts, to be burned down.
Feldman believes sexual abuse which he experienced repeatedly as a child star to be connected with Satanism, and thus is a vocal and often distraught anti-Satanism commentator on Twitter. Greaves wrote on Facebook that, shortly after the call for arson, a man—apparently unwell and of unclear connection to the tweets—was arrested outside the Temple's headquarters for kicking and pummeling the side of the building. Greaves' subsequent online sparring with Feldman resulted in Greaves' brief suspension from Twitter. According to the Washington Post , the Temple holds that Greaves' account violated none of the platform's rules, and that his suspension and Twitter's failure to address the arson tweet was tantamount to religious discrimination.
That Twitter may have mishandled a case of harassment is not exactly surprising or new information, but the ramifications of this fracas have been unexpectedly significant for the Satanic Temple. Great article. I agree that Baphomet is likely an innocent symbol blown out of proportion.
I do not, however, like the way that this article consistently portrays male as good and female as bad and puts Isis in a Satanic role, even carrying that over to the Virgin Mary. The Goddess is as real and as divine as the God. I am sick of being beaten over the head with patriarchal bullshit. Please get a clue and understand that NONE of it deals with a real man or woman persay, but the alchemical energies we are made of and how they rule over us.
There is no feminine Goddess, nor is there a male God. God is androgynous and to the ancients this was Jupiter and the Venus was made into the Goddess to rule over their subjects alchemically.
From Jupiter comes Phosphorus which is incorrectly labeled as a male energy and from Venus, sulfur which is a female energy. I dont agree with yiur article. In how you put Isis as the bad. And him as good and your story is wrong on Isis. And she is not the virgin Mary that is a different religion or culture …sick of men because of insecurity. Putting women as the bad or evil ….
At o e point before high priests gained control in eygpt.
Baphomet is a deity that the Knights Templar were accused of worshipping and that subsequently was incorporated into disparate occult and mystical traditions. Aug 1, A new statue unveiled by the Satanic Temple in Detroit has attracted protests - but who is the goat-headed figure it depicts, Baphomet?.
Women were considered equal or even a higher level then men …. The ultimate can not be described. It cannot be limited by relative concepts and words. When speaking of things on this relative plane, gender is a thing— duality is a thing. Men are sit in positions of power. Women occupy such positions much less frequently. His true name is muhommed, cherub angel both light and dark, male and female. Who is Baphomet? On the Ptolemaic tablet he is called : The King of Upper and Lower Egypt, the living spirit of Ba, the living spirit of Shu, the living spirit of Seb, the living spirit of Osiris, the spirit of spirits, the lord of lords, the heir in the city of Tonen Mendes.
