You should read Eliphas Levi "Dogma and Ritual of High Magic" who is the original source for that image. He explains very clearly that the Baphomet symbol represents essentially the Western esoteric equivalent of Taichi (yin/yang), and that all the furious arm waving about it being Satanic is because regular Christians are violently superstitious lunatics. For instance...
"The symbolic head of the goat of Mendes is occasionally given to this figure, and it is then the Baphomet of the Templars and the Word of the Gnostics bizarre images which became scarecrows for the vulgar after affording food for thought to the sages, innocent hieroglyphs of thought and faith which have been a pretext for the rage of persecutions. How pitiable are men in their ignorance, but how they would despise themselves if once they came to know!"
