HUGE Satanic Goat 40"x60" canvas on thick 2.5" fra

This is one of the most stunning pieces of art we sell. It is a huge, castle-sized 40 inches wide and 60 inches high and mounted on the 2.5" thick wooden frame. You can also order re-size it to your needs. This work is a 1999 re-imaging and deliberately demonised recreation of the classic old occult Baphomet illustration by Eliphas Levis. In 1854, French occultist Eliphas Levi published his famous book on the Doctrine and Ritual of Transcendental Magic. The frontispiece included an engraving of the horned god which he called "Baphomet" and "The Goat of Mendes." The image horrified many and inspired others in what has been called the French occult revival of the 19th century. The figure represented the absolute and featured various occult symbols including a point-up pentagram on the forehead, mudra handsigns, and the words "Solve" and "Coagula" on the arms. Despite the graphic's intention of representing occult wisdom generally, orthodox Christians have long chraacterised it as satanic. Those of a truly devilish bent, however, have tended to find the old image dated, tame and thus uninspiring. Here that classic image is re-created with explicitly Satanic imagery and symbols; the point-down pentagram, the inverted cross, the 666, the brimstone alchemical glyph, etc. Let there be no question of representation of this archetype. The Levi Baphomet from the 19th century reimagined and presented here in flaming colour for the new Satanic era.
