Un enorme diablo (Baphomet) se agacha sobre un cubo negro, con un pentagrama invertido sobre su cabeza. Abajo, un hombre y una mujer están encadenados sin apretar (cadenas que aparentemente podrían soltarse ellos mismos), a quienes les han crecido cuernos y colas.

Texto original de Waite (1911)

Simbolismo interior (original)

The design is an accommodation, mean or harmony, between several motives mentioned in the first part. The Horned Goat of Mendes, with wings like those of a bat, is standing on an altar. At the pit of the stomach there is the sign of Mercury. The right hand is upraised and extended, being the reverse of that benediction which is given by the Hierophant in the fifth card. In the left hand there is a great flaming torch, inverted towards the earth. A reversed pentagram is on the forehead. There is a ring in front of the altar, from which two chains are carried to the necks of two figures, male and female. These are analogous with those of the fifth card, as if Adam and Eve after the Fall. Hereof is the chain and fatality of the material life.

The figures are tailed, to signify the animal nature, but there is human intelligence in the faces, and he who is exalted above them is not to be their master for ever. Even now, he is also a bondsman, sustained by the evil that is in him and blind to the liberty of service. With more than his usual derision for the arts which he pretended to respect and interpret as a master therein, Eliphas Lévi affirms that the Baphometic figure is occult science and magic. Another commentator says that in the Divine world it signifies predestination, but there is no correspondence in that world with the things which below are of the brute. What it does signify is the Dweller on the Threshold without the Mystical Garden when those are driven forth therefrom who have eaten the forbidden fruit.

Significado original del derecho

Ravage, violence, vehemence, extraordinary efforts, force, fatality; that which is predestined but is not for this reason evil.

Significado original invertido

Evil fatality, weakness, pettiness, blindness.

The goat on this card is the Baphomet Lévi drew in 1856. It is not the Greek god Pan.

Esoteric correspondence

A sourced traditional claim, but constructed inside an occult system

The "Goat of Mendes" comes from Lévi

Waite's text says it outright: the Horned Goat of Mendes, bat-winged, standing on an altar. The figure is the Baphomet of Mendes that Eliphas Lévi drew in 1856, fusing the ram-god of the Egyptian city of Mendes described by Herodotus with the Baphomet the Templars were accused of at their trials. The sign of Mercury on the belly, the reversed torch, the inverted pentagram on the forehead — all of them are parts of Lévi's design. Put plainly: the devil on this card is only a little over a hundred years old.

The chains are loose, and Waite is the one who says so

The man and woman before the altar are chained to a ring, and Waite says they are "analogous with those of the fifth card, as if Adam and Eve after the Fall." But he goes straight on: their faces show "human intelligence in the faces," the figure enthroned above them "is not to be their master for ever," and "even now, he is also a bondsman." The loose collars, liftable at any moment, come from exactly this passage.

Capricorn: the goat's other identity

The Golden Dawn assigns the Devil to Capricorn (Hebrew letter Ayin, literally "eye"). The sign's own glyph is a goat, so the correspondence settles onto the image with no friction at all — but keep the order straight. Lévi drew the goat-headed devil first, and the system attached it to Capricorn afterwards, not the other way round.

Modern reading

Popular only since the twentieth century; unrelated to where the card came from

Pan: the most frequently misidentified figure here

Plenty of material says this card depicts the Greek god Pan, standing for instinct repressed by civilization. Pan does have the legs and horns of a goat, and Christian imagery did borrow him in constructing the look of the devil. But the direct source of the figure on this card is Lévi's Baphomet, with an entire apparatus of nineteenth-century occultism in between. "Repressed instinct" is later still — it comes from the psychologized readings of the twentieth century.
