Baphomet (black) magnet

Baphomet is an imagined pagan deity, revived in the 19th century as a figure of Satanism. It first appeared in a late twelfth century Provençal poem as a corruption of "Muhammad", but later it appeared as a term for a pagan idol in trial transcripts of the Inquisition of the Knights Templar in the early 1300s. However, in the 19th century the name came into popular English-speaking consciousness with the publication of various works of pseudo-history that tried to link the Knights Templar with conspiracy theories elaborating on their suppression.
