Symbolism of Baphomet
Baphomet represents the sum total of the Universe. He is the culmination of humankind’s baser instincts, represented by the goat head, and higher instincts, represented by His meditative, seated position. Between His horns burns the Flame of Intellect that unites the two and gives us reason to know how to control ourselves. He is the intermediary between the physical World below Him, and the Cosmic World around Him. He gestures with His right hand toward the white moon of mercy, and His left toward the black moon of justice, representing the cycles we go through in life that can be merciful or cruel. His phallus is erect, representing the creative life force of the Universe. He is the force of All, the cycles of Life, Death, and Rebirth, and the balance of the material with the spiritual. As the World turns in an ever-present cycle, He is our fixed place in it, that which we ultimately achieve.
Divinatory Meaning
When you invoke the World in a reading, you are very aware that you are the central figure in your World, your story. You feel the meaning of your journey and are eager for it. You are reaching a period of achievement, the end of a cycle—whether this is finishing some important project, graduating from an area of study, personal relationship reaching a new level, or advancement in career. Your goal is reached and you have manifested your desires in the real world. Everything you endured, the good and the bad, was for this very moment, this reason, and you now know it all made you stronger, better, and prepared for anything. You have a sense of wholeness for your physical and spiritual, you are truly connected to your personal Cosmic Forces, aware of Their guidance. You may be called on a long journey far from home. Open yourself up to the experience and enjoy the adventure.
Banishing the World
Banishing the World can indicate you are not prepared to finish your goals. This can be self-created or pertain to some external block. You need to find the will to overcome them. Part of your success is overcoming adversity. Create a system of goals and rewards to help you keep motivated. You may be close to finishing a project or reaching a goal but you have lost focus, inspiration, and motivation. That energy you had at the beginning has faded. Think of what motivated you in the beginning. Reconnect with that and remind yourself how close you are to attaining what you set out to do. Think of the reward once you complete your task. If you are experiencing a delay, find new and inventive ways of overcoming them. You may also be seeking closure for the past. Realize you are where you are now and all you can do is choose where to go next, whether you get that closure or not. Don’t let your life cycle get stuck over these situations and change what you can.
