(He's very old.) >And from a strictly Scriptural point of view, extremely misleading.... It's also misleading from a historical point of view. There's no excuse for anyone to use the Pike "quote" in the twenty-first century (except as an example of a great hoax). Also, Chick refers to "Baphomet ... the old god of Baal worship." Actually, Baal was worshipped by ancient Semitic people, and the name of Baphomet was unknown until the fourteenth century. The tract's picture of Baphomet comes from a mid-nineteenth-century drawing by Eliphas Levi. My question concerns what the tract calls the symbol of Baphomet, which it says was worn by Aleister Crowley. Does anyone have information about it? Thanks. -- Mike Bandy
