Queering Baphomet

'Baphomet' is a half-heard whisper of heresy among the Knights Templar, a heavy-metal icon, a French alchemical symbol representing the union of opposites --  but is always more, always undefinable. In this workshop, Julian Vayne explores Baphomet as a queer 'Deity without a Myth' who embodies ideas including gender fluidity, disability, and the totality of the life force on earth.  There is also sharing discussion and hands-on magical practice, so attendees by the end feel prepared to work magically with Baphomet as patron and ally. Julian is co-author of The Book of Baphomet.
