>>17530547Baphomet is a symbol and an an alchemical formula that is trying to point to something a bit transcendental, in that way, every symbol is insufficient, and only a sign post. That which is truly transcendental cannot be expressed in words or symbols, because those are finite things. Some believe that Baphomet is a representation of the ineffable life-source behind life on our planet. A sort of demonized version of the previous "Horned God" found in Germanic and Celtic mythology (and others).
Moreover, the solve/coagula specifically refers to the process of spiritual dissolution and reconstruction respectively. The same process eluded to in countless religious mythology, including Christianity (The death and resurreciton of Jesus Christ and the symbolism behind Baptism). Baphomet is a formula, a symbol, one that I don't even particularly like because it makes spergs sperg out too much on both sides of the spectrum (Retard Satanists and pearl-clutching Christians).
