Baphomet: deity that represents duality, common figure of occultism.
There are several possible etymologies of the name, the most accepted is a bastardization of "Muhammad". But my favorite theory proposed by the german Christoph Friedrich Nicolai, which claims "Baphomet" derived from the Greek "baphe metous" meaning "Baptism of Wisdom".
I used Eliphas Lévi depiction as guide, whilst taking artistic license to change the symbolism and appropriating it, to give it a more personal perspective.
