Below are Crowley's direct interpretations recorded of Baphomet and what he thought he was interacting with. It is clear that he was unable to discern the forces he was interacting with, which are the predator minds, the [[Satanic]] forces of the [[Imposter Spirit]] representing themselves as truth spirits when they were deceiving his mind in order to exploit him for their [[NAA]].

==Typhonian Tradition==
The Typhonian tradition is sometimes defined as a current that flows through the cosmology of the Order Templi Orientis (O. T. O.). [[Typhon]] was the god in Greek mythology who when appearing before the other gods was so ugly he changed into a fire-eating monster; he waged a terrible war and was eventually killed by one of Zeus' thunderbolts. Thus, Typhonian is synonymous with fire and force, also means the Opposer. Typhon's Egyptian counterpart is Set or Seth.most Witches, myself included, find it necessary to study his material and “plug themselves into” the magical current of Crowley's demon spirit guide, a mysterious being named Aiwass. [[Aiwass]] is another name for Set, an Egyptian god. [[Sodomy]] is especially “sacred” to Set. It opens what are called the “Typhonion” tunnels, channels through which extremely powerful demons, like the horrible Choronzon, can travel from the “alternate reality” and emerge into this universe and enter the sex partner's body.—<ref>[Wicca: Satan's Little White Lie, 1990 AD ed., see pp. 192, 197-200, Bill Schnoebelen]</ref>


==Baphomet==
==Baphomet==
'''Quoted from Wikipedia''' :"The [[Baphomet]] became an important figure within the cosmology of Thelema, the mystical system established by [[Aleister Crowley]] in the early twentieth century. Baphomet features in the Creed of the Gnostic Catholic Church recited by the congregation in The Gnostic Mass, in the sentence: "And I believe in the Serpent and the Lion, Mystery of Mystery, in His name BAPHOMET."

In Magick (Book 4), Crowley asserted that Baphomet was a divine androgyne and "the hieroglyph of arcane perfection": The Devil does not exist. It is a false name invented by the Black Brothers to imply a Unity in their ignorant muddle of dispersions. A devil who had unity would be a God... 'The Devil' is, historically, the God of any people that one personally dislikes... This serpent, SATAN, is not the enemy of Man, but He who made Gods of our race, knowing Good and Evil; He bade 'Know Thyself!' and taught Initiation. He is 'The Devil' of the Book of Thoth, and His emblem is BAPHOMET, the Androgyne who is the hieroglyph of arcane perfection... He is therefore Life, and Love. But moreover his letter is ayin, the Eye, so that he is Light; and his Zodiacal image is Capricornus, that leaping goat whose attribute is Liberty." <ref> [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baphomet Baphomet, Wikipedia]</ref>
