"'Baphomet is the eternal cipher of the occult — the androgynous flame that unites light with shadow, heaven with abyss, and beast with god. To gaze upon Baphomet is to confront the riddle of existence itself, where purity and corruption, creation and destruction, divinity and damnation are bound in one living paradox. It is not an idol of worship, but a mirror of the hidden truth — that within every seeker lies both angel and demon, both torment and transcendence, and only by embracing the whole may one become complete.'"
