The Sigil of Baphomet is the official insignia of the Church of Satan, founded 1966. [1][2][3][4] The sigil has been called a "material pentagram" representational of carnality and earthly principles. [5]
In 1966, Anton LeVay created the Sigil of Baphomet as the insignia symbol of the Church of Satan. For the Sigil, LeVay put together a variety of satanic and gnostic elements, creating a true representation of the nature of the church. The Sigil of Baphomet consists of an inverted pentagram with Baphomet’s head inside.
The inverted pentagram is broadly used in Satanism, sometimes depicted with the goat's head of Baphomet, as popularized by the Church of Satan since 1968. LaVeyan Satanists pair the goat head with Hebrew letters at the five points of the pentagram to form the Sigil of Baphomet .
The pentacle of Satanism is an inverted pentagram, meant to represent the head of a goat (Satan is often portrayed in mythical drawings as a man with a goat's head.) The two upward-facing points are meant to resemble the horns of a goat, the sideways-facing points are ears, while the downward-facing point is the muzzle.
Indeed, the inverted pentagram figures in the sigil of Baphomet, one of the main symbols of the Church of Satan, an atheistic organization that evokes in its imagery the Devil as viewed in Christianity but does not worship any god or being or require that its members perform any rituals, magical or otherwise.

A controversial statue unveiled by the Satanic Temple at a secret ceremony in Detroit has attracted protests. But who is the goat-headed figure? And what do the elements of the statue symbolise?
