Says the guys who want to kill all Jews. You don't see the irony in this?
Original Baphomet illustration Levi Eliphas, which he called the "Goat of Mendes".
"At several places in the Delta, e.g. Hermopolis, Lycopolis, and Mendes, the god Pan and a goat were worshipped; Strabo, quoting (xvii. 1, 19) Pindar, says that in these places goats had intercourse with women, and Herodotus (ii. 46) instances a case which was said to have taken place in the open day. The Mendisians, according to this last writer, paid reverence to all goats, and more to the males than to the females, and particularly to one he-goat, on the death of which public mourning is observed throughout the whole Mendesian district; they call both Pan and the goat Mendes, and both were worshipped as gods of generation and fecundity. Diodorus[59] compares the cult of the goat of Mendes with that of Priapus, and groups the god with the Pans and the Satyrs. The goat referred to by all these writers is the famous Mendean Ram, or Ram of Mendes, the cult of which was, according to Manetho, established by Kakau, a king of the second dynasty."
So we're in a war against goatfuckers?
A kid, right?
I should say that I don't buy that the Templars were worshippers of Baphomet (and not goatfuckers. kek). They were accused and persecuted by Inquisitors and a French king for this, but they weren't known for anything but being warrior monks who protected Christian pilgrims before that.
Christians do.
