Baphomet Statue
This intricate statue, an exclusive and original piece from The Black Broom, is made of the finest lead-free pewter and stands approximately 7 inches by 2.75 inches wide.
It is believed that within Lévi's Baphomet, are contained the dualistic nature of life and the male female aspects of creation. The image combines both male and female qualities; one arm masculine, one feminine; the breasts of a woman with a caduceus on its lap; one arm pointing skyward while one pointing down, perhaps a representation of the Hermetic axiom "As Above...So Below". On the right arm is written "Solve" Solution and on the Left "Coagula" Coagulation. These are references found in alchemy, a study that Lévi not only undertook but also wrote about in his books.
