Cool mask, I\'ve always liked that one! But ole Baph has gotten a bad rap, and not a true one
see, Baphomet is actually a Pagan god, of fertility. Hence the horns of plenty. He was portrayed most usually as the head of a goat with long horns, and a nude male body. He was a very positive and prominant symbol, worshiped and given offerings to ensure fertility in men, and promote ample sex. It wasn\'t until Caligula took the Paganistic symbols and turned them into \'blasphomy\' that Baphomet became linked with Satan, and people who were caught worshiping, and offering sacrifices to him were charged with heracy and burned at the stake. So, technically, when you wear that mask, you\'re not an evil demon goat, you\'re asking for heightened fertility and more sex even better!!
Oh, another odd little factoid, the \'rabbit ears\' thing, putting your hands up behind someones head in the V in a picture, you are actually blessing them with fertility and the wish for more sex in terms of Pagan rituals and rights
And yes, yes I do have too much time on my hands HAHAHAHA
