Talk:Baphomet

Actually, this page is the rare page that I'd say exists for a good reason. Before Bree had a picture of Crowley on the wall, she had a picture of what most fans believe was a Baphomet. It can be seen in the video Danielbeast. I'm not sure that the item deserves its own page, but that's mostly because I don't know the relation between Baphomet and other items in the LGpedia.--JayHenry 11:05, 8 December 2006 (CST)

Well, I just watched that video, did a screen capture, and zoomed in. I've uploaded the result here:

As you can see, that is DEFINITELY someone's face. They have a beard and moustache. It's a little ominous because you can't see the eyes in the photo, but it's definitely a person's face. Contrast that to a picture of Baphomet and you can see that it is in no way possible a picture of Baphomet.

As far as how Baphomet relates to anything, Baphomet was supposedly the diety that the knights templar worshipped...which they confessed to under EXTREME torture. Many of them later recanted after the torture was over. The rendition of Baphomet we have today was actually drawn by Eliphas Levi.

As you can see in Wikipedia, the claim of Baphomet ever being a real idol is very very dubious...and he really doesn't fit in anywhere --Tannhaus 11:41, 8 December 2006 (CST)

If the picture was believed by fans to be a Baphomet, then a wiki entry is useful to explain the truth more clearly. If we can conclude from Tannhaus' post that the picture was not of a Baphomet, then I think Tannhaus' analysis should be moved to the article itself so that the article 1. Explains what a Baphomet is and 2. Explains the relation between LG15 and "Baphomet"--it is a failed guess as to what the picture was? --Treefunk 11:56, 8 December 2006 (CST)
