Baphomet.
For those not familiar with Baphomet, I will briefly explain it here since many artists incorporate the symbol into their videos or clothing. In the video for the song “Pirates,” Rick Ross is shown sitting down on a large Baphomet throne.
Rihanna wore a Baphomet looking headdress in her “Rock Star” video, and many people say Beyoncé’s promotional material for I Am…Sasha Fierce (her alter ego) also used the symbol. Kanye West has worn shirts and even a skirt with the imageon it, so what exactly is Baphomet and why are so many stars using the image?

Baphomet is basically an occult idol depicted as a goat’s head or a half-man, half-goat figure that dates back to the ancient Knights Templar and the Crusades. Baphomet was the goat head that the Templars were accused of worshiping or using during their secret rituals. The figure is the official symbol of the Church of Satan and is printed on the cover of The Satanic Bible over laid on top of an upside down pentagram by making the upper two points of the pentagram form the horns of the goat with the bottom point forming its chin.
Another depiction comes in the form of a human-like winged goat resembling a gargoyle with breasts and a phallic serpent rising from its crotch. This popular image comes from an 1854 book written by a popular French occultist and ceremonial magician named Eliphas Levi.
Satanists have a long tradition of adoring this bizarre figure. Eliphas Levi wrote, “According to some, the Baphomet was a monstrous head, but according to others, a demon in the form of a goat. A sculptured coffer was disinterred recently in the ruins of an old Commandery of the Temple, and antiquaries observed upon it a baphometic figure, corresponding by its attributes to the goat of Mendes and the androgyne of Khunrath.
It’s interesting that many people claim the Catholic Church fabricated the stories of the Knights Templar being involved with Baphomet , but what’s even more interesting is that famous occultists and Satanists admit the accusations were true! “Did the Templars really adore Baphomet?” writes Eliphas Levi, in his 1854 book Transcendental Magic. “Did they offer a shameful salutation to the buttocks of the goat of Mendes? What was actually this secret and potent association which imperiled Church and State, and was thus destroyed unheard? Judge nothing lightly ; they are guilty of a great crime; they have exposed to profane eyes the sanctuary of antique initiation. They have gathered again and have shared the fruits of the tree of knowledge, so they might become masters of the world.

“Yes, in our profane conviction, the Grand Masters of the Order of the Templars worshipped the Baphomet, and caused it to be worshipped by their initiates,” Levi declares. In The Satanic Bible,Baphomet appears on the list of list of Infernal Names, and is defined as a symbol of Satan that the Knights Templar worshiped.

Manly P. Hall reveals in The Secret Teachings of All Ages that, “The famous hermaphroditic Goat of Mendes was a composite creature formulated to symbolize this astral light. It is identical with Baphomet, the mystic pantheos of those disciples of ceremonial magic, the Templars, who probably obtained it from the Arabians.
So it’s no wonder we see so many musicians using the image in their videos, printed on their clothes or wearing jewelry encrusted with the figure. Most parents would recognize a satanic pentagram and it would cause them to take a closer look at the artists their children are watching, and even catch the attention of the mainstream press, but Baphomet is much more esoteric, and can slide under most people’s radar.
