How did Satan become linked with goats?

As a goat farmer, I've heard them all. But, if there are no goats in heaven, it's not heaven.

Always fascinating to me how some seemingly well-established cultural things only are like 100 or 200 years old when they give the appearance of being thousands

The way Dan so solemnly intones “…Ho.” gets me every time. 😊

During the pandemic and the vaccine rollout, many conservative US Christians would loudly say they are not sheep. Some of them would say they are goats. I always thought it was funny because as Matthew 25 and the great poet Cake would say “Sheep go to Heaven, goats go to hell”.

Great video! I betcha you and Esoterica and AngelicaPuca could do a great collaborative video on the development of Satan out of the Enochic literature and into the more modern-day esoteric stuff!

@3:18 already was singing Cake in my head. nice to hear it from someone else.

It raises the question of whether The Devil / Baphomet have cool goat powers like easily traversing steep inclines ajd being able to eat any plants on a fallow field,

The association of the devil with a goat has got to be earlier than the 19th-century: Goya is already depicted Satan as a black goat in his 1798 painting 'The Witches' Sabbath' - my understanding is that the painting's Spanish title 'El Aquelarre', the Spanish word for a witch's sabbath, is derived from a Basque term meaning 'he-goat', so the association must have been current in 18th century Spain.

And now I have Cake stuck in my head, thanks Dan

[Gutitfool]

Some say also because it goats are more independent and rebellious, stubborn, and and dont listen as well as sheep?

[mrq]

Great question. Interesting answer. As usual!

[lawrencecollins]

I've watched a lot of your videos, Dan; of this fit I am the most envious.

[brentwalker]

How could anyone consider goats to be evil? They are so smart and adorable.

[HandofOmega]

Nice answer, but could have told us more about just WHO this "Baphomet" IS...🤔

[jayg]

Azazel the ‘Scapegoat’. Found in the Book of Enoch and referenced in Leviticus

[dethspud]

Great explanation to a great question. When it comes to bringing biblical scholarship to the people Dan is the GOAT.

[authormichellefranklin]

Thank you for the video reply! Much appreciated!

So I should sell the goat and the black robes? Summer solstice won't be the same.

“ *Seitan* (UK: /ˈseɪtæn/, US: /-tɑːn/;[1] Japanese: セイタン) is a food made from gluten, the main protein of wheat.[2] It is also known as miànjīn (Chinese: 麵筋), fu (Japanese: 麩), milgogi (Korean: 밀고기), wheat meat, gluten meat, or simply gluten. It is made from vital wheat gluten, a flour-like substance primarily consisting of gluten extracted from wheat flour.”

It truly is one of the Greatest Of All Time foods, if you ask me.

In my opinion, seitan is a GOAT. 😎

I always thought the image of Pan as well as the statements in the New Testament about "separating the sheep from the goats" (as well as the scapegoat concept) played into this imagery.
