[edit] changed
I changed "God's love" to "divine authority" because Satanists would scoff at the notion that this symbol represented a rejection of love. They do not see the Christian God as a benevolent being offering love, but as an imaginary entity representing forces of Earthly repression. -- Jamiem 23 January 2006
[edit] Creation
This sigil was not created by LaVey, it was older. Here's a variant from a 1897 book. bogdan 21:54, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
Because this matter seems to be constantly in confusion, I suggest that anyone making claims that the Hell's Kitchen variant of the Sigil of Baphomet is actually identical to older variants research actual images of those variants. The Hell's Kitchen version is significantly varied from all previous versions in a number of ways, and itself serves as a template for most modern variants. - Lvthn13
[edit] Sigil of Baphomet
If I am not mistaken, the sigil of baphomet originated from Dogme Et Rituel de la Haunte Magie by Eliphas Levi which was written un 1855. Predating La Clef de la Magie Noire” by Stanislas de Guaita by quite a few years. I don't have my edition with me at the moment, but when I get ahold of it, if it turns out to be correct. I would be editing it appropiately and sourcing my information.
