Baphomet is sort of an equation of Mohammed according to researchers....that may be the root of the problem
Levi called his image “the Baphomet of Mendes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendes)”, presumably following Herodotus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herodotus)' account[11] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baphomet#_note-9) that the god of Mendes — the Greek name for Djedet, Egypt — was depicted with a goat's face and legs. Herodotus relates how all male goats were held in great reverence by the Mendesians, and how in his time a woman publicly copulated with a goat.[12] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baphomet#_note-10) However the deity that was venerated at Egyptian Mendes was actually a ram (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep) deity Banebdjed (literally Ba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_soul) of the lord of djed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djed), and titled "the Lord of Mendes"), who was the soul (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_soul#Ba_.28soul.2Fpersonality.29) of Osiris (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris). Levi combined the images of the Tarot of Marseilles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarot_of_Marseilles) Devil card and refigured the ram Banebdjed as a he-goat, further imagined by him as "copulator in Anep and inseminator in the district of Mendes".

it's great to know I'm not the only girl fucking imaginary goats in the world. :eek:
Anyways Banebdjed is the Ba, or soul of Osiris and constitutes his backbone, he was married to a fish goddess -
Ba does not, however, quite mean soul in the western sense, and also has a lot to do with power, reputation, force of character, especially in the case of a god. Since the ba was associated with power, and also happened to be a word for ram in Egyptian, Banebdjed was depicted as a ram, or as Ram-headed. A living, sacred ram, was even kept at Mendes and worshipped as the incarnation of the god, and upon death, the rams were mummified and buried in a ram-specific necropolis.
In Mendes, they had considered Hatmehit, a local fish-goddess, as the most important god/goddess, and so when the cult of Osiris became more significant, Banebdjed was identified in Mendes as deriving his authority from being married to Hatmehit. Later, when Horus became identified as the child of Osiris (in this form Horus is known as Harpocrates in greek and Har-pa-khered in Egyptian), Banebdjed was consequently said to be Horus' father, as Banebdjed is an aspect of Osiris.
In contemporary occult fiction, Banebdjed is often called the goat of Mendes, and identifed with Baphomet; the fact that Banebdjed was a ram (sheep), not a goat, is apparently overlooked.

The Rev. Alphonsus Joseph-Mary Augustus Montague Summers (1880-1948), compiler of The History of Witchcraft and Demonology (1926) and The Geography of Witchcraft (1927) was able to form Baphomet from the Greek words 'baphe and 'Metis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metis)'. The two words together would mean "Baptism of Wisdom".

I was doing a quick run of the name Hatmehit and I go ahead and pronounce it out loud and I guess I woke up Ng for a second and he says "Oh no, don't wake her up....that's the last thing we need around here" and then I said "why?" and he goes into how she's hateful and greedy and all kinds of stuff and then mentions of course that, like Ningishzidda she's a part of me but just something that needs to stay asleep...I looked up the Gematria on her name and it appears under the New Aeon English Qabala she shares 126 with:
Perdurabo
Androgenic
Conquerer
Beetles
Bleeding
Hive Mind
Hypnotic
Polluting
Pretty
Posessing
and all kinds of other words...interesting eh?
