Baphomet, also known as the Sabbath Goat, The Great God Pan, Abraxas, Thanateros or the Horned God, is not, strictly speaking, a real being. It is a personification of the life force of every being, the sum of all life on earth. It is a force which can be summoned by mages, but it cannot be easily controlled. Some groups of witches invoke this being, to strengthen the link between them and the life weave at Sabbats.

Baphomet is often depicted as a goat, or a man with horns and goat-legs. Since it is a mix between all life on Earth, it can look like everything. It can be seen as a hermaphroditic mix between human, reptile, insect, plant, mammal, bacteria and all other life. Parts of it are rotting or dead, since it also encompasses the death and decay that is necessary for the survival of life. It is often crowned by great horns signifying its power, and often changes shape as parts grow, change into new permutations, start to rot away and reform. It is filled with intense vitality, and will stimulate it in others.

The worship of Baphomet has survived since time immemorial. The cult of Mendes in Egypt worshipped it. The Bacchants of ancient Greece worshipped it. According to the myth, Queen Parsifae gave birth to the minotaur after falling in love with a bull, which could have been a manifestation of Baphomet. The worship survived in some mystery cults during the classic era, and well into the middle ages. Some of the myths about the witches sabbaths may well be distorted legends about the cult of Baphomet. The Knights Templar were accused of worshipping it (of course, it is hard not to name any perversion or heresy the Templars have not been accused for). Today magicians are actively interacting with Baphomet.
