I know that Satanists do not believe in spiritual beings and that Baphomet is symbolic, but why was Baphomet chosen over every other symbol of the left hand path?
I know Baphomet dates back to the templars, but why was it this image that was carried on for so long?

I would also like to ask, what does the picture of Baphomet inspire in you ?

The reasoning behind the Sigil of Baphomet and what it represents can be found in "The Satanic Bible."

As far as what it means to me? Well... it means whatever I need it to mean at the time of ritual.
