Old Style Baphomet Aflame 24x36 Museum Quality Canvas Print

A century-old flaming symbol of the demonic! Over a century ago, Oswald Wirth (today famous for his popular deck of tarot cards) created an illustration in Stanislas de Guaita's 1897 book "La Clef de la Magie Noire" depicting a goat's head in a point down pentagram. The symbol was purported to be the magical sigil of those who rejected mainstream religious and moral strictures and, instead, followed the Left Hand Path. Wirth believed that a secret cabal of Freemasons practiced a form of cabalistic sorcery in league with Satan. For his 1931 book on the topic, he greatly refined the graphic. The image here is a painstakingly restored and enhanced re-imagining of the old Wirth illustration thus bringing to you one of the oldest historic graphical representations of Satanism, Black Magic and the Left Hand Path.
