Head of Baphomet
Head of Baphomet
An interesting discovery was made public in 1818 dealing with the history of secret societies. According to Baron Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall (in his essay "Mysterium Baphometis Revelatum" in volume 6 of Fundgruben des Orients ), there was found among the antiquities of the Imperial Museum of Vienna some idols named Heads of Baphomet, which the Templars were said to have venerated. These heads represented the divinity of the Gnostics, named Mêté (Wisdom). For a long time one of these gilded heads was preserved at Marseilles. It had been seized during a Templar retreat, at a time when they were pursued by the law.
