Far too long have symbols been misrepresented and misunderstood by the world at large. The people who understand the true meaning of occult symbols gain benefit from their arcane understanding, while the misled and often fearful masses hide and flee from these beautiful artistic symbols. The Baphomet is certainly one of these highly misunderstood symbols, often being referred to as " the devil " or the " poster child " for Satanism/Luciferianism.
We must remember that symbols point you in a direction. Symbols act as keys or maps that lead our mind to hidden meaning within the symbol. When most people look or glance at a symbol they deem " evil " whether it be a pentagram, a triangle, or in this case the baphomet, they more often than not only see the most obvious aspects of the symbol. They do not attempt to read between the lines and uncover hidden meaning in these symbols. People will often turn their back on wisdom out of fear/religious programming or simply because they think they know everything. It really is a sad state of affairs. So many beautiful things go right over peoples heads because they fail to see past their own perceptual blinds. Although wearing blinders may make your life a bit easier for you, give your ego a boost, and make you think you are smarter than you actually are, it will eventually catch up to you by leading you away from wisdom and into a narrow world/self view.
As a symbol the Baphomet represents the rising Kundalini within the human body/mind complex/soul. It represents human being's beastly & animal nature (their flesh ), and their spirit. It shows that man and womankind are both spirit and matter fused together. The Baphomet has wings which are symbols of the Angelic nature of human existence when we achieve gnosis ( enlightenment aka Kundalini ) which is symbolized by the torch atop the Goats head ( a symbol of Capricorn ). The 5 pointed pentagram star in the forehead of the Goat represents the awakened Third eye kundalini serpent force and the mastery of the 4 magical elements: Earth, air, fire, & water. The Baphomet's cloven hooves represent physical, earthly existence and the caduceus in the torso region represents the kundalini energy. The scales he/she adorns on the torso represent the mystical reptilian energy being awakened.

Much more could be said about this symbol and I am sure that in the future I will talk more about it.
