In this episode we conjure Heka Astra to the microphone to share her one-of-a-kind personal research into the Baphomet as it is interpreted through the lens of ancient Khemetic spiritual tradition. By going down the ancient Egypt rabbit hole, a number of confusing puzzle pieces suddenly snap into place (as is usually the case when we look at Egyptian wisdom). Strangely, by taking Baphomet over to Egypt we arrive full circle at some traditional Christian mysteries in their prototypical form. Go figure. In the free side of the show we begin by discussing Banebjedet, the most obvious connection to the Baphomet, what the Ram represented in Egypt and what it has to do with the Ba soul -a soul whose name sounds eerily similar to the sound a ram makes. Perhaps I’m saying too much. Let Heka explain it. In the extended show we bring up the creator of humans, the potter named Knum who is so bible coded it’s kind of embarrassing. We also discuss the hidden one, Amun. Thank you and enjoy the show!
In this week’s episode we discuss:
Banebjedet, the Ram of Mendes
The Ba Soul
Osiris
The Djed Pillar
Differences between SHEEPS and GOATS?
Ram symbolism
In the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we discuss even further:
Knum, the Creator Deity
The Devil of the Tarot
Pan
Corkscrew Horned Sheep
Amun, the Hidden
Lord of Two Horns

In this week’s episode we wrap up everything we’ve learned so far about the Baphomet and its history as an archetype through history, esotericism and conspiracy lore. In the free side of the show we finish our discussion about the heretical practices of the gnostics, investigate the claims of who or what’s decapitated head was supposedly worshipped by the Templars and their shadowy connections to Simon Magus. In the extended show we submit ourselves to the mighty gaze of Abraxas and discover what dirty laundry he shares with the fallen angel goat demon Azazel who also lurks behind this same constellation of mysteries. In the conclusion we examine the murky world of bloodline occultism that Tracy Twymann was investigating during her demise and how it sits in relation to the even murkier world of conspiracy that leads to the darkest places imaginable. In the next episode, we’ll be applying our own occult research (led by Heka Astra) to begin understanding in earnest what the Baphomet represents from a pre-Abrahamic perspective. Thank you and enjoy the show.

On the free side of the show we discuss:
Gnostic sects who thanked the serpent and treated the creator as the enemy
The whore-holy wisdom of Thunder, Perfect Mind
Whose head the Templars really kept on the altar
Simon Magus, the ram swap, and the three-day rising
Libertine rites and the New Dionysus
In the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we continue further down the rabbit hole and discuss: 
Abraxas: the rooster-headed god 
Azoth, the A-to-Z universal fire of the Alchemists
Azazel’s garment swap, the scapegoat, and the Lilith-Samael union
Cathar consolamentum and the Book of Baptism by Fire
Tracy Twyman’s Dragon Court years and the end of the trail…

In this week’s episode we break on through to part 3 of our totally exhaustive, in-depth guide to the Baphomet where we discover the Islamic version of our favorite Hermetic super heroes and the secret identity of Enoch who is mythologized as the first man to use writing, built the pyramids and preserved esoteric wisdom for the generations following the Great Flood. In the extended show, we do a detailed comparison between strange occult practices in various gnostic cults and trace how their mystic lineages overlapped and diverged from the rich tapestry of ancient Hermeticism as it evolved through the ages. By the end we begin to weave together a number of various threads which have only come up as puzzle pieces in former episodes. By the end of the series we promise to unveil in earnest the most authentic description of the Baphomet outside of an oath-bound secret organization and finally get to the bottom of what this figure really means. Thank you and enjoy the show!
In the free show we discuss:
-The three Hermeses of Abu Ma‘shar: before the Flood, after the Flood in Babylon, and later in Egypt
-Hermes as Idris, and Idris as the Enoch who walked with God
-The first man to use a pen, the pyramids at Akhmim, and the arts carved into stone so the survivors could read them
-The Harranian Sabians, Sir Walter Scott’s theory, and Kevin van Bladel on the “religion of Hermes”
-The Emerald Tablet, Apollonius of Tyana, and mercury as both sage and substance
-The second Hermes who taught Pythagoras, and the third who wrote on venom and made glass
-Asclepius, the wrong snake on the ambulance, and Plato’s Phaedrus on why the king rejected writing
-Al-Mas‘udi, the Active Intellect, and al-Suhrawardi’s pillar of light
-Poimandres, the Demiurge, and the question of whether Hermes is the apocryphal Enoch
-Mount Hermon, the place of the curse, and the angels who made a pact
-The Mandaeans, the Sabians of the Koran, and their baptism that sounds like the Baptism of Wisdom
-John the Baptist as their prophet, and the door that opens onto Sophia
In the extended show available at www.Patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we continue by discussing:
-Asclepius on men who are both mortal and immortal, and the knowledge that makes them akin to the gods
-What Gnosticism actually is, the Nag Hammadi library, and why the Church Fathers only gave us the hit pieces
-Robert M. Price, Carl Jung, and the argument over whether the word “Gnostic” should even exist
-Pneumatic and hylic, the spark in the body, and Plato’s Timaeus on why even a good Demiurge builds shoddy copies
-Sophia, Chokmah, the Shekinah, and Metatron
-Simon Magus, the Naassenes, Irenaeus, and Clement’s attempt to reclaim the word
-The Ophites who thanked the serpent for the fruit, and Jehovah as the craftsman who kept the tree locked
-Marcion, Valentinus, the Sethians, the Borborites, and the Cainites
-Sophia’s fall, Prunikos, and the erotic allegory of Ophite creation
-Ialdabaoth, the Hebdomad, the serpent who is sometimes Christ and sometimes the liar

On this week’s episode we’re joined by the full crew to continue our truly exhaustive investigation into who or what the Baphomet really is with this week’s focus falling upon the goat themed motifs in Free Masonry, the connection with big dick deities from various cultures and the surprisingly deep connection between Pan, Lilith, Medusa and Athena referring to both the Old Testament and Hesiod to find our answers. In the extended show we discuss the Green Man, The Baptism of Wisdom and the connection between Enoch, Metatron, Moses and a shadowy initiator the Arabic world refers to as the Al-Khadir. By the end we begin to break down what the Knights Templar may have really been doing by worshipping the Baphomet and what it may have meant or symbolized to them: a pact with the devil or an attempt to bootstrap Christianity by taking ownership over older traditions? If you’re not ready to talk about dicks, butts and devils you might want to skip this one. Thank you and enjoy the show!

Pan, panic, Actaeon, and Arthur Machen’s Great God Pan
The Pope Lick Monster, the Chupacabra, and the Wendigo
Al-Ghul in the Nabataean Agriculture, and the star the Arabs called the Ghul’s eye

In this week’s episode we take on the heroic task of uncovering the secrets of the Baphomet, one layer at a time, covering every possible angle and hopefully arriving at the closest we can approximate for the truth about who or what this figure genuinely represents. Tim compiled research from controversial sources like the late Tracy Twyman (who famously lost her life digging into this mystery), Julius Evola (of all people) and more medieval Hebrew mystic texts to assure ourselves and you (the listener) that we have left no-stone unturned or crazy, dark rabbit hole unsearched. By the end we might even be able to show you the profound wizard stuff that you probably, NORMALLY, need to kiss or clap booties to learn about. And that’s why they hate us. We remove booty clapping from the occult education system which is technically illegal. In the free side of this show we take a cursory glance at the more interesting and colorful history of the Knights Templar, focusing on the details of their confessions in an attempt to cobble together the details of their shadowy, secret practices. By the time we arrive at the extended show we have already begun to jump into the three loving arms of Priapus and explore his connection with Baphomet, Hermes and his lesser known Arabic equivalents before arriving at the dark connection all of the above have with Samael and Lilith. Thank you and enjoy the show!
