Spirits wear masks too. How many spirits aid in the process of dissolution? How many of them aid in the process of building up your spirit? In that context baphomet could be a metaphor or mask for any spirit that helps with ascent. So I understand where the confusion could be coming from in that retrospect.
Perhaps you’re currently going through something in your life that’s causing baphomet to making itself known to you? Symbolism is important and it’s always smart to start with the symbolism being communicated to you. Doing this will help you start the process of elimination when the information you’re getting is vague or incorrect.
I think you’re dealing with your shadow. It seems like there’s certain aspects of yourself trying to make themselves known to you and you’re grasping at straws trying to define this experience as something outside of yourself. Your shadow self can appear to you as a spirit and this can be confusing for people who don’t know the difference between their shadow and a spirit.
In case if you’re curious.
I’m assuming you’re new to the occult because of your posts. When someone is new to this stuff there’s a lot of new things you have to get used to. The main thing is a shift in awareness. As a neophyte you start to become aware of things that were previously unknown to you. This includes things related to yourself.
You may not like the answer I’m giving you but that’s what I think is going on. In my beliefs baphomet is the dark goddess. Everything you’ve said would lead me to believe you’re not dealing with the goddess of my tradition. I think you’re really dealing with your shadow and it’s making itself known to you through the symbolism associated with the commonly known version of baphomet.
