{"product_id":"le-baphomet-figure-de-lesoterisme-templier-de-la-franc-maconnerie","title":"The Baphomet - Figure of Templar Esotericism \u0026 Freemasonry","description":"\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eSince their dramatic fall in the 14th century, the Templars have nurtured a parallel history filled with enigmas and interpretations, slipping between the gaps of official history where the line between reality and invention remains difficult to trace. Over time, all kinds of attributions have been assigned to them: guarding the Shroud of Turin or the Grail, the discovery of America, holding a vast treasure, material or spiritual, mastery of alchemical secrets, the survival of the order through secret societies, hidden rites, customs deemed scandalous, or even the worship of the Devil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAt the peak of this collection of assumptions stands the Baphomet. Initially a simple element of the indictment during the trial, this figure gained importance with the rise of Masonic Templarism in the mid-18th century, fueling both the imagination of Freemasonry and the hostile discourses against it. Later, Éliphas Lévi gave it the now-famous appearance: an androgynous figure with a goat's head, a flame between the horns, and a pentagram on the forehead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAlternately condemned or reinterpreted depending on the era, the Baphomet eventually came to embody the symbolic richness that centuries have attached to it, while retaining the burning memory of the Templar pyres. Seeking to untangle myth from reality, this work traces the gradual formation of this figure and the legend surrounding it. Well-supported, it will capture the attention of readers drawn to the shadowy areas of history as much as to the stories that accompany the human adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Éditions Hermésia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56656955474268,"sku":"DG-73031","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/1532\/7069\/files\/session_produit_20260212_171514-3.jpg?v=1770914744","url":"https:\/\/aeternum.fr\/en\/products\/le-baphomet-figure-de-lesoterisme-templier-de-la-franc-maconnerie","provider":"Aeternum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
