Large Baphomet Statue - 16" Tall

Baphomet – Symbol of Balance, Transformation, and Inner Alchemy

CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE:

• Baphomet is not a deity in the traditional mythological sense but a symbolic figure representing the union of opposites—light and dark, masculine and feminine, above and below.

• The modern image of Baphomet was first popularized by 19th-century occultist Eliphas Levi, who portrayed it as a goat-headed, androgynous being seated between the moon phases, bearing alchemical and mystical symbolism.

• Revered in modern occult, esoteric, and Left-Hand Path traditions, Baphomet represents enlightenment through balance, self-mastery, and the sacred within the self—not evil, as commonly misunderstood.
