The Baphomet

Baphomet is the Sabbatic Goat, an emblem made famous by the nineteenth-century occultist Eliphas Levi, who drew the figure as a union of opposites: male and female, human and animal, light and dark, above and below, all held in a single balanced image. Embraced across a range of occult and modern witchcraft currents, it stands above all for equilibrium, the reconciliation of forces that most traditions keep apart. As an altar piece it suits work that honors that balance.

How To Use

1. Set the holder on a flat, heat-safe surface, away from anything flammable.
2. Cleanse it in incense smoke or moonlight before first use, if that is part of your practice.
3. Place a standard tealight behind the cut-out and light it so the figure stands out against the glow.
4. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and note that the iron warms while the candle burns.
5. Let the holder cool fully before lifting out the spent tealight and wiping it clean.
