Available from occult & new-age supplier Abaxion, which provides this explanation:
The symbol of the left handed path, usually portrayed as half human, half goat figure, or a goat head. It is often misinterpreted as a symbol of Witchcraft in general, it is used by those who practice the black arts. The origin of the name Baphomet is unclear. It may be a corruption of Mahomet "Mohammed", or even a combination of two greek words, baphe and metis, meaning 'absorption of knowledge'. Baphomet has also been called the Goat of Mendes, the Black Goat, and the Judas Goat.
Of course, if you want the REAL story, you should read this Jack Chick tract, which explains how the Masons worship Baphomet as part of their secret plan to rule the world as puppets of Allah or the Vatican or rock music or something.
Personally, I don't see why folks think Baphomet is dangerous. Let's face it--anyone who's really serious about annihilating law and decency wouldn't be wearing pants.
