So many of us have read about The Church of Satan and their claims of owning the rights of the Baphomet pentagram Sigil. Or sometimes you'll see the text claiming that it was first seen in the book....THE PICTORIAL HISTORY OF MAGIC AND THE SUPERNATURAL. Printed in 1964. A very revered book by all Satanists. Which is beautifully illustrated on the cover a big Baphomet Pentagram embossed on the hardbound black cloth of the book. It will at times come with a dust-jacket book cover which enables you to see the embossment on the cover. Most copies however come without a cover. And most of the people on eBay who sell them love to show off the book cover. This is not where the first illustrated Baphomet came from. The authentic one which is the one that Druwydion, Raven, and myself agreed to being the one that has the closest lineage to the Brotherhood Principalities. The one which is illustrated for the first time ever in any publication in the 18th century is the one which has the SAMAEL/LILITH EMBOSSING ON THE OUTER CIRCLE. This is revealed in an 1897 book called...LA CLEF DE LA MAGIE NOIRE, written by a French Nobleman and Occultist Stanislas De Guaita. The Pentagram although has been used in a descending direct line with The Knights Templar, Freemasons, and Ancient circles of our Brotherhood Ancestors. So, next time some idiot Satanic wanna be tells you this boring same old song and dance bullshit about the Church of Satan Baphomet history. Hit them with this little tidbit. Knowledge is power. Hope this helps everyone. There's really no exact determination of how old this sigil really is. One thing for sure it predates all Christianity and Roman Catholicism.
