SMT Lore has always revolved around the fascinating design and lore or demons from Abrahamic faith. Despite this it took me a very long time to cover one of the most interestingly designed and fascinating demons in all of human history. Baphomet has ties to some of the most powerful organizations in the history of Christian faith and so tons of occult history on top of that. In shin megami tensei and persona lore he appears so frequently it would be safe to say he is a pretty important figure as well. From people thinking baphomet is another incarnation of Lucifer, a gnostic detiy of knowledge and wisdom, or some altogether new, today on smt lore we'll dive deep into this enigmatic figure. Shin megami tensei always knocks it out of the park. Try to bear with the lengthy history of the knights templar in the smt lore section, it's important to explain Baphomet history. Demons are one of the most fascinating subjects to study in the field of theology. Every religion and culture has their take on the horrifying spirits that plague human souls, with many demons having potentially hundreds of years of history behind them. One demon that always stood out among the rest is the one known as Baphomet. Portrayed as an androgynous half goat half human with a roaring fire above their head, it’s impossible not to see this entity and not be wonderstruck. Famous for being the deity supposedly worshiped by the knights templar before their annihilation, and later evolved into a symbol of balance, wisdom, and the dualistic nature of existence. With seemingly infinite interpretations from the most profane depiction of the devil himself, the truest representation of the human soul, or a protector and bearer of true wisdom. Without any further ado, let’s talk about the occult icon, Baphomet.
