What is the meaning of the goat and that star symbol?
The Sigil of Baphomet. The five symbols (one at each point of the Baphomet) are five Hebrew letters: Lamed (L), Vau (V), YOD (Y), Tau (Th), and Nun (N). These letters spell out the Hebrew word Leviathan (LVYThN). 1. The Leviathan is associated with the Ouroboros, or Serpent eating its own tail. This element of the Baphomet is derived from the Ophites who used the Serpent as a symbol of Wisdom. The Serpent represents the big-bang/crunch of the Cosmos (the simultaneous creation/destruction). 2. The Star itself comes from the Pythagorean school of Mathematics. Many have missed the association of Pythagoras’ name with Python (another form of the Serpent Leviathan). In fact, one of the more Esoteric derivates of Baphomet is “Baphe-Metis,” that is, Initiation into Wisdom-Measurement. 3. The Goat is Pan, the symbol of nature itself. These three elements represent the Trinity, the three clans or schools of thought united under one symbol. Today, these people are known as Satanists, i.e., Tanis
