During the early 1800s, the pseudo-historian Hammer-Purgstall said he had found evidence that the Templars worshipped an androgynous idol called Baphomet (the same name that certain brothers used for the head or relic presented during certain Chapters according to the text of the trial). The objects and architectural details Hammer had found on certain churches were a proof for him that the Templars actually practiced a Gnostic rite. Since then historians have shown that Hammer's theory rested on very shaky grounds and that the churches he had picked were actually not Templar. However his theory has become an established fact for certain esoterists who, until this day, still believe that Baphomet was an idol and that the Templars adored it...
Several historians now believe that Baphomet was a corruption of the word Muhammad (Mahomet in modern French). The proof of that is contained in a poem "Ire Dolors" written by a Templar brother, Ricaut Bonomel, during the 1260's when Sultan Baibars was winning his fight against the Christians. The initial text is in old French; in the following translation, I have left the names in the way they appear in the old text; here is a paragraph:
"And here, every day, they are victorious,
Because God is sleeping instead of being awake,
And Baphomet uses all his strength
To support Melicadefer."
Melicadefer was the name used by the Crusaders for Baibars, and of course Baphomet was the name they used for Mahomet. If that's the case, one can wonder why certain Templar brothers used the Islamic prophet to name some of the heads they saw during certain Chapter meetings.
A possible answer could be that the Templar dignitaries had obtained certain automata heads built by the Arabs. These heads were made of metal and are known to have existed at the time. They were actually called "heads of Mahomet" by the Crusaders. Of course it may not be the only explanation for the myth of Baphomet; it doesn't exclude that the Templars owned relic heads of saints that they could also have displayed during their Chapter meetings.

Baphomet is a greek derivative, meaning its name came from greek..so this is how Baphomet is spelled Bavomet.
And another clue to the Baphomet...in greek, this mean, "Baptism of the Metis"
If one studies the image of the Baphomet, one would then find symbols of forces that the knights templars knew and used.
The stigmatism attached to the Baphomet, was created by the church at the time who crushed the knights templars, this was done as a way to control the masses of people from leaving the church control.
how does one control the masses of people...easy the church just says it is evil, or devil worshipping etc....and since only the church had the authority to say what was what, they decreed anyhting the knights templar did to be evil,etc..etc...so that the masses of people would then not take off from the church and then follow in their footsteps and come to understand the symbols that made up the secret of the baphomet, as secret which is about the forces around and within everything and how to use those forces for creation/manifestation, to creat that spark, (quark).

In order for the knights templar to solve all the clues of the secrets of the temple of jerusalem or from king solomon temple, or from papyrus or from dead sea scrolls, one would have to understand first the hebrew atbash codes.
Using the Hebrew atbash code in solving coded puzzles, clues, etc..would have often applied in the searches.
And so they the knights templars left many coded clues themselves, which can also be uncovered using hebrew atbash codes.
the symbol of the baphomet, is full of coded clues which are hidden, within.
even the word Baphomet contains a hebrew atbash code.
One of the symbols of the name of God is AB. AB=, 1,2. (one who is mirrored, or dual, equal and opposite, etc)
in hebrew atbash codes, part of one code is to take the first letter and then replace it with the letter following it.
so BA becomes AB.
or 21 becomes 12. and then using part of the hebrew atbash codes, add the two togethor fadically.
AB=A+B=3 as A=1, B=2. so the 3, (the 1,2) becomes 1.
3 forces become one force.
This si what the symbolsim of the Baphomet is about.
the baphomet is not about evil and blackmajic or worshipping the devil, it is about worshipping the one creative force, the God force. The God force that lasts for infinity, for perpetual generations.
In hebrew code, one of Gods many names is AB. or ABA

In his book Monuments Historiques Relatifs a la Condamnation des Chevaliers du Temple, Raynouard says that the word Bafometi doesn't come from the Greek, but that instead it comes from the word Mahometi. Beside the poem of Ricaut Bonomel that I quoted above, here is another proof. Raimundus of Agiles, one of the chroniclers of the First Crusade, talks about the Muslims and says:
"In ecclesiis autem magnis Bafumarias faciebant..."
The word Bafumaria means church of the cult of Mahomet (Muhammad); it's a mosque! This is confirmed by Du Cange in his dictionary (Bafumaria = Templum Mahumeto dicatum).
