Most people think they know exactly what Baphomet is.

A goat’s head. Horns. Satan.

But what if that image isn’t nearly as old as most people believe?

In this episode, Bill and Deb follow the strange history of Baphomet from the Knights Templar and accusations of heresy to nineteenth-century occult symbolism and the rise of modern Satanism. Along the way they explore the mysterious origins of the name, the possibility of Islamic influences, conflicting descriptions from the Templar trials, and why historians still debate who or what Baphomet originally was.

Is Baphomet truly an ancient symbol of Satan, or is the story far more complicated than most people realize?
