The Baphomet of the Templars - A Mysterious Glimpse into Esoteric Symbolism
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a mesmerizing illustration of "The Baphomet of the Templars" derived from a carved scene found on a marble goblet housed in Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum. Created by the English School during the 19th century, this engraving offers a simplified version of an intriguing artwork (DGC405785) held in a private collection. Steeped in enigma and legend, this depiction is deeply intertwined with the Knights Templar, known for their secretive practices. The image originates from Richard Payne Knight's "Worship of Priapus" published in 1786 for the Dilettanti Society and later reprinted with additions in 1865. Within this intricate carving, one can discern various esoteric symbols such as chains, pentacles, double triangles, and seals of Solomon. The figure itself appears both male and female—an androgynous representation—wearing a cloak adorned with celestial motifs like crescent stars and moons. As we delve deeper into this mysterious imagery, it becomes evident that it holds connections to secret societies, occult rituals, gnosticism, and Freemasonry. The presence of bearded priests further adds to its mystical allure. With its rich symbolism encompassing elements like nudity (both male and female), skulls, holy grails, religious orders' insignia—the photograph invites us to contemplate ancient rites shrouded in secrecy. It serves as an invitation to explore hidden realms where spirituality intertwines with mysticism—a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with unlocking profound truths concealed within symbolic art forms.
