Goat Of Mendes Hoodie
This hoodie features the Goat Of Mendes also known as the sabbatical goat or Baphomet. From the drawing by Eliphas Levi.
The term ‘Mendes’ originates from the ancient Greeks & translates as ‘God Of Egypt’. The 19th century occultist Eliphas Levi coined the term ‘The Goat of Mendes’ to describe the Tarot-arcana depiction of The Devil. He had studied the accounts of the Greek historian Herodotus who related how the Mendesians (Egyptians) revered male goats to a high degree, worshipping them as symbols of progeneration & fecundity. He also describes having personally witnessed women copulating publicly with goats in Egypt. The Greek civilization was greatly influenced by Egypt & myths & legends thereof.
Thus the Goat of Mendes became a popular choice in cults of Satanism, in whose rituals he can be seen presiding over the altar. He has the head & legs of a goat & wings (the fallen angel Lucifer). He also bears the caduceus – symbol of pyscho-sexual energy, healing & wisdom – which is placed arising from the genital area like a phallus. In such rituals Mendes may be a painting or an adept dressed to invoke him. He is also known as Baphomet, a term popularized by the occultist Aleister Crowley.
