Mythology Summary

Not ancient deity but powerful occult symbol emerging from Templar accusations, fully formed by Eliphas Levi. Goat-headed androgyne with torch between horns, one arm up (solve), one down (coagula). Breasts and phallus. Represents union of all opposites—male/female, light/dark, above/below, animal/divine. 'As above, so below.' Liberation through embracing paradox.

Modern Practice

Patron of occultists, those transcending gender binaries, sovereignty seekers beyond categories. Invoked for occult work, gender sovereignty, embracing paradox. Teaches that binaries are illusion, that completeness requires all aspects, that liberation comes through transcendence.
