Weakness

Baphomet's weaknesses are: (1) absence of substance — the decisive canonical weakness — the decisive canon of being a composite image created by political conspiracy (the Templar purge) and later occult imagination rather than an actually existing demon — the decisive canon of being closer to a symbol than substance itself; (2) religious authority — the decisive canonical weakness — the decisive canon of being powerless before religious authority like other idols; (3) binding of the cross — the decisive canon of being powerless before the Christian cross and holy water; (4) corruption of etymology — the decisive canon of the binding of the corruption of Mahomet; (5) binding of time — the decisive canon as a product of 14th-century politics; (6) binding of the sacred domain — the decisive canon; (7) binding of the goat — the decisive canon of the binding of the goat's head; (8) binding of esotericism — the decisive canon of the binding as a symbol of secret societies. The decisive canonical finale is the decisive mythological canon as a forgotten idol after the burning of Jacques de Molay on 18 March 1314.
