A new hymn for a god/dess of witches, sorcerers, and madmen.
Hymn to Baphomet
Io Baphometos!
Strange god! Gnostic god!
Creator and destroyer!
Friend to the alienated,
lover and beloved
of artists and magicians!
You who reconcile false dichotomies:
mortal and divine; man and woman;
human and animal; of the Earth and of the Air.
You are of the Dark Moon and the Light.
Solve et coagvla.
You are the Sabbatic goat!
Winged, and crowned in horn and flame,
sacred hermaphrodite;
Thyrsus and caduceus, thy tumescence.
You are the Mysteries made flesh.
O you Hidden One!
You are ancient yet unfinished!
You are many formed, many natured!
Panphage pangenitor!
You are All-Father, All-Mother, All-Lover!
Io Baphometos!
All hail Baphomet!
