PYTHAGOREAN TRADITIONAL PENTAGRAMS - SHOWN WITH COLORS.
BAPHOMET WITH HEBREW LETTERS "BAPHOMET" OR "SOPHIA" as per Atbash Cipher.
Atbash
Cipher. This is a Hebrew code which substitues the first letter of the alphabet
for the last and the second letter for the second last and so on. When Baphomet
is applied to this code, it generates the Greek word Sophia.
This
cipher is one of the few used in the Hebrew language. The cipher itself, ATBASH,
is very similar to the substitution cipher. A substitution cipher is one where
each letter of the alphabet actually represents another letter. In the case of
the Atbash cipher, the first letter of the alphabet is substituted for the last,
the second for the second last and so on." I.e., for us in English the letter
A becomes "Z", the letter "B" becomes "Y", the letter C becomes X, and so on.
ATBASH
gets it's name from the fact that in the cipher, A becomes T, B becomes Sh, and
so on, hence ATBSh - ATBASH. The top row is the Hebrew Aleph-Bet (from left to
right) and the bottom is the Aleph-Bet in reverse (right to left). The method
of reading the ATBASH cipher is to substitute the letters in the bottom row for
letters in the top row. Very easy, yet often interesting. This is how Sophia is
coded to say Baphomet.
See
our article on the Baphomt and Goat of Mendes in Dark Tradition section. The Knights
Templars were charged with heresy for using the image called Baphomet. Was this
an image of Satan? Not at all. Baphemetis means Initation into Wisdom. The etymology
of the word Baphomet (see article) is a guess. Schonfield decided to apply the
Atbash cipher which he was convinced the Templars were aware of, to the word Baphomet.If
one writes the word Baphomet in Hebrew and remember Hebrew letters [not shown
here but are placed appropriately on the image] read from right to left, the result
is shown here. Applying the Atbash cipher, Schonfield revealed the following:
The word Baphomet: Taf Mem Vav Pe Bet = BAPHOMET
With the Atbash
Cipher: Alef Yud Pe Vav Shin = SOPHIA
Although written in Hebrew it reads
as the Greek word Sophia that translates into "Wisdom" in English.
Schonfield's
Atbash cipher theory and what it showed when he applied it, is just one more excellent
explanation of what "Baphomet" means - and we note that all the explanations yield
the same meaning in the inner sense: Baphemetis means Initiation
into Wisdom. See article on Baphomet and the Goat of Mendes, Dark Tradition section.
These are the Traditional directions, colors and elementals.
These
are NOT compass directions:
Top Left Point: Red - fire
Top Right Point:
Blue - space
Lower Left Point: Green - air
Lower Right point: Yellow -
earth
Bottom Point: White - water.
Center where "house" is, it is Black.
You can make the bottom point black and make the House white to make a
viariation.
Tantrik - these sound like compass directions and can
be used as such:
East - red - fire
West - white - water (but can
appear blue)*
North - green - air
South - yellow - earth
Center -
blue - space (but can appear white)*
*Padme Sambhava says this. Different
schools use either system.
The Crossed Vajra is used for this - 4 points
and one center.
