Baphomet, a controversial figure that has been associated with various occult and mystical practices throughout history. The first known mention of Baphomet was in a letter written in 1098 by Anselm of Ribemont describing the Siege of Antioch during the First Crusade. Anselm stated that the Turks “called loudly upon Baphomet.” Most scholars believe that the word refers to Muhammad, the founder of Islam.
Baphomet was later linked to accusations of heresy and idol worship among the Templars. However, it wasn't until the 19th century that Baphomet took on a more concrete form as an occult icon, thanks to the influential French occultist Éliphas Lévi, who depicted it as a hermaphroditic winged figure adorned with esoteric symbols.
Due to its association with Satanism, Baphomet can be viewed as a demonic or subversive symbol, and thus stand in for something considered evil or deviant. It can also serve as an identifying marker for those aligned with the occult.
However, many occultists view Baphomet not as demonic but as an idol or deity that harmonizes cosmic opposites, a god of duality, e.g., good and evil, light and dark, man and woman, human and beast.

Ahh great, another original idea that I will totally ignore for a while
This story is called Shepherd
It's about a former knight of Templar finding a goat head and was immediately fused upon holding it and had a mission from the deity Baphomet to start spreading the word about them by starting a cult
yep, got inspired by cult of the lamb :P

SUBTEXT
so I've focused in on Perceval and Bors before, and I've done Perceval and Gender (for more on this specifically, see: Clothes Make The Man: Parzival Dressed and Undressed, Michael D. Amey) and did a whole comic that leaned into some subtext™ on temptation, but actually let's throw out the subtext! let's bring Augustine into this!!
Tumblr media
Perceval, de Troyes (trans. Burton Raffel)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
introduction to Confessions, Augustine (trans. Sarah Ruden)
so for perceval a knight is both the gender he wants to perform but also something that is expressly compared to god, and if god is a lover that seduces. well. does this not also apply to knights as well?
Tumblr media
Homosexuality in the Renaissance: Behavior, Identity, and Artistic Expression, James M. Saslow
and while galahad might be the obvious choice, I think perceval's relationship with bors during the grail quest narrative is more interesting. it's not god that transforms perceval, it's the sight of knights for the first time. something in here specifically is incredibly intriguing to me, but there's a different text I need to finish reading to fully form some thoughts on it.
Tumblr media
le Morte d’Arthur
and finally! tentatively. I think I might slowly start turning this idea I had a couple years back into a fully formed comic. we'll see! I had most of it blocked out, but halfway through reading augustine's confessions, I think was when perceval finally clicked for me as a character in a later narrative cycle setting. I think I might have to spend a lot of time doing some visual research first because my god I cannot consistently draw armor to save my life......back when I lived in new england, there was a museum with a wonderful medieval armor collection I could visit.....alas.........I will have to hit the books (literally, I have a collection of books on medieval armor but this is apparently the one thing I can't visualize properly in my imagination. save me, museum collections, you're my only hope)

Ten photos are not adequate to show the glories of the Convento de Cristo in Tomar Portugal which I visited 4 years ago today but that’s as many as I can put in a post on Tumblr. The tour I helped to design that year was meant for fantasy lovers, so every stop had some elements of a place you might encounter in a fantasy book, game, or movie. This place (which has a fascinating history I won’t go into here) more than lived up to that, especially as evening light crept over it and the sun set. I was so caught up taking pictures that I didn’t know it was closing time until someone found me, escorted me to the huge metal gate and locked it behind me.
