Baphomet is an imagined pagan deity, revived in
the 19th century as a figure of Satanism. It first appeared in a late
12th-century Provençal poem as a corruption of "Muhammad", but later it
appeared as a term for a pagan idol in trial transcripts of the Inquisition
of the Knights Templar in the early 14th century. In the 19th century the
name came into popular English-speaking consciousness with the publication
of various works of pseudo-history that tried to link the Knights Templar
with conspiracy theories elaborating on their suppression. The name Baphomet
then became associated with a "Sabbatic Goat" image drawn by Eliphas Lévi.
