The Goat of Mendes - Banebdjet

So it seems there is some link to the Royal Family here.  William Wales squadron is the 60th goat squadron.  Cute Wills very cute indeed.  What does Kate think of your squadron badge I wonder.  Does she even know?  The badge has a  huge resemblance to the Goat of Mendes.

What is this Goat of Mendes?  Thank you for asking and so I shall tell you what it is then.

The entity known as the Goat of Mendes is associated with Satanism very often. Fact is, that it really has nothing to do with devil worship – its origins go back to ancient Egypt, where a goat headed deity was worshiped in the ancient city of Mendes. 

It mainly stood for sexual virility and fertility and was later associated with the upkeep of the balance between positive and negative magical forces. Thus it is really a deity of neutrality, as “good” and “evil” were seen as two sides of the same thing in ancient times.


The Church itself introduced the association with Satanism, when the Knights Templar came into contact with the cult of Banebdjet (the real name of the “Goat of Mendes”). Envying their power and riches, the Church was looking for a way to accuse them of Demon worship, and the image of Banebdjet (later transformed into "Baphomet") with his goat like appearance seemed the best way to do so.  


Sequenti die aurora apparente, altis vocibus Baphometh invocaverunt; et nos Deum nostrum in cordibus nostris deprecantes, impetum facientes in eos, de muris civitatis omnes expulimus.

Since then, hordes of Devil worshipers have swallowed this lie (which was issued by their arch enemies of the Christian Church) and introduced the Goat of Mendes into their pantheon of devils and demons. In reality, this entity is much more associated with witchcraft and Paganism – it is just one of the many incarnations of the pagan horned God.

The Devil card is also misconstrued as evil and once again this card is a card that shows endings and beginnings.  A suing up of energies.  Everything is in a state of constant evolution or change.  This signifies changes big time.  Neutrality once again.  A bringing into balance.  Note the two people and the horned devil in between them.  this is the balance they must find.
