    Fun fact, one of the earliest known usages of Baphomet appeared during the trials of the Knights Templar — where, surprise surprise, they were accused of worshipping it as a demonic idol.

    So, as much as it is a symbol of balance, it’s also historically a tool used by Christians (or more accurately their kings) to paint their targets as ‘evil’ or ‘demonic’.

    Maybe fun was the wrong word.
