Baphomet is pictured here as a half-man-half-goat who represents the balance between good and evil, male and female, and human and animal. The two entwined serpents represent both male and female. 🐍

Here, Baphomet is illustrated with bat-wings, modeled after the vampire bat who sucks the life-blood from their victims. 🦇

This represents the effects of succumbing fully to one's primal desires and emotions. He stares at the viewer, enticing them to come nearer into his grasp. The inverted pentagram on his forehead is a sign meant to attract sinister forces as it reverses the proper order of the world. Baphomet has two fingers pointed up on the right with his left hand holding a torch toward the ground. This represents the idea "as above, so below," further cementing the idea of duality within this card. 🌚🌝

The two people at the base of Baphomet, one man and one woman, are beginning to show animalistic signs of change through their horns and tails. The woman's tail represents pleasure while the man's represents lust.🍷🔥

These two are seemingly held prisoner by the Devil, however if you further inspect their chains, they are loose and could easily be removed. This is to show how we often imprison ourselves and how we have the power to control our own destinies. ⛓🖤
