Background
After the video The Danielbeast, fans developed an interest in the picture that was shown on Bree's bedroom wall. Viewers could not see the picture clearly and began debating about what it could be. Baphomet was one of the many suggestions thrown around (Satan was another). In later videos, the picture was changed to be of Aleister Crowley.
Theory disproved
A screen capture from The Danielbeast (shown at top right) yields a blurry picture. Even despite the blurriness, fans argued that it looks like some kind of family photo, perhaps a little girl in a dress sitting on a man's knee.
When contrasted with a clear picture of Baphomet (see bottom right), it becomes dubious that this picture was actually of Baphomet.
The deity
Wikipedia describes Baphomet as: "an idol or image of uncertain provenance, depicting a being of heretical worship. The name first came to public consciousness during the suppression of the Knights Templar."
Baphomet was supposedly the deity that the knights templar worshipped. It is suspected that this deity is apocryphal because the Knights Templar who confessed to worship of the "deity" only did so under extreme torture. Many of them later recanted. The rendition of Baphomet we have today was actually drawn by Eliphas Levi.
