There has been a lot of different sources putting out different information on the Baphomet, does anyone here know what he really is? what he stands for, what he believes in etc

Baphomet is all, or more likely all matter, man woman beast earth, air, fire, water; all one



"Dr. Hugh Schonfield, one of the scholars who worked on the Dead Sea Scrolls believed the Word Baphomet was applied with the Knowledge of the Atbash Cipher. The Atbash Cipher is a Hebrew code which substitutes 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 that is translated in English as "Wisdom."
