On this week’s episode we’re joined by the full crew to continue our truly exhaustive investigation into who or what the Baphomet really is with this week’s focus falling upon the goat themed motifs in Free Masonry, the connection with big dick deities from various cultures and the surprisingly deep connection between Pan, Lilith, Medusa and Athena referring to both the Old Testament and Hesiod to find our answers. In the extended show we discuss the Green Man, The Baptism of Wisdom and the connection between Enoch, Metatron, Moses and a shadowy initiator the Arabic world refers to as the Al-Khadir. By the end we begin to break down what the Knights Templar may have really been doing by worshipping the Baphomet and what it may have meant or symbolized to them: a pact with the devil or an attempt to bootstrap Christianity by taking ownership over older traditions? If you’re not ready to talk about dicks, butts and devils you might want to skip this one. Thank you and enjoy the show!
