From Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual:

“The goat on the frontispiece carries the sign of the pentagram on the forehead, with one point at the top, a symbol of light, his two hands forming the sign of occultism, the one pointing up to the white
moon of Chesed, the other pointing down to the black one of Geburah.
This sign expresses the perfect harmony of mercy with justice. His one
arm is female, the other male like the ones of the androgyne of
Khunrath, the attributes of which we had to unite with those of our goat
because he is one and the same symbol. The flame of intelligence
shining between his horns is the magic light of the universal balance,
the image of the soul elevated above matter, as the flame, whilst being
tied to matter, shines above it. The beast’s head expresses the horror
of the sinner, whose materially acting, solely responsible part has to
bear the punishment exclusively; because the soul is insensitive
according to its nature and can only suffer when it materializes. The
rod standing instead of genitals symbolizes eternal life, the body
covered with scales the water, the semi-circle above it the atmosphere,
the feathers following above the volatile. Humanity is represented by
the two breasts and the androgyne arms of this sphinx of the occult
sciences.”

In the first aeon, I was the Great Spirit.
In the second aeon, men knew me as the Horned God, Pangenitor Panphage.
In the third aeon, I was the Dark One, the Devil.
In the fourth aeon, Men knew me not for I Am the Hidden One.
In this new aeon, I appear before you as Baphomet.
The God before all gods who shall endure to the ends of the earth.

Baphomet

“I had taken the name Baphomet as my motto in the O.T.O. For six years and more I had tried to discover the proper way to spell this name. I knew that it must have eight letters, and also that the numerical and literal correspondences must be such as to express the meaning of the name in such a ways as to confirm what scholarship had found out about it, and also to clear up those problems which archaeologists had so far failed to solve … One theory of the name is that it represents the words βαφὴ μήτεος, the baptism of wisdom; another, that it is a corruption of a title meaning “Father Mithras”. Needless to say, the suffix R supported the latter theory. I added up the word as spelt by the Wizard. It totalled 729. This number had never appeared in my Cabbalistic working and therefore meant nothing to me. It however justified itself as being the cube of nine. The word κηφας, the mystic title given by Christ to Peter as the cornerstone of the Church, has this same value. So far, the Wizard had shown great qualities! He had cleared up the etymological problem and shown why the Templars should have given the name Baphomet to their so-called idol. Baphomet was Father Mithras, the cubical stone which was the corner of the Temple.”
