[Introduction portion only to the translation]

Meet Mete, is Introduction to the first English Translation of Mysterium Baphometis Revelatum by Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall, 1818.

In this introduction the occult researcher Tracy R. Twyman delves and with fascinating and utterly perfect nexus of symbolism and etymology into the concepts of Mysterium Baphometis Revelatum (The Mystery of Baphomet Revealed), where the author claimed to have discovered a number of idols and other artifacts on former Templar properties, the imagery of which allegedly sheds light on the heretical secret rites and beliefs of the Templars.

The Introduction Meet Mete is rich with images that add into her conceptualization through the language, a more vivid experience. Thus we had to print this volume in colour to preserve the experience of reading Tracy R. Twyman as she intended.

A quality, that must all have felt and experienced about Tracy's writings, it does leave a lasting impression on the psyche. That is, you will see her concepts that you have just read, demonstrated here and there in your daily life, as if in synchronicity. And the concepts that she presents, do take a hold on the reader, that they begin, in the back of your mind as you are going through your daily life, playing, almost forcing themselves, or finding their way into the stream of consciousness and then you do find yourself thinking about the realities she is trying to convey, perhaps more realy that we think.

After all, she was very able in magick, and she does create magick until this hour and her writings are part of this pleasing current.

In my opinion, Mysterium Baphometis Revelatum is, in addition to being a study of history, also a piece of history itself, and is history's most important document pertaining to Baphomet, aside from the Templar trial documents themselves... This is because... while the story of Baphomet (as an entity under that name) may have begun with the Templars, it really developed as a concept mostly since Hammer‐Purgstall's time, under his influence, both directly and indirectly.

[F]rom my own experience on this project, I do believe that this text, the images, and indeed the entire subject matter, is cursed. I have had... frankly the worst luck of my life, while studying the subject of Baphomet for the last sixteen years, especially whenever I tried to focus on the Hammer‐Purgstall translation in particular. .. [I] have even have a term we have coined- the Fog-for the mental confusion, inertia, and weariness we felt overtake [me] whenever [I] sit down to work on it. ..The curse of Baphomet strikes again!

...I think the curse on Mysterium Baphometis Revelatum was intended to prevent anybody from getting as far as I have with making sense of this particular text, and from publishing it. If you are reading this, then that means the curse has failed, and maybe, with the help of the benevolent deity (however he may be identified), this demon guardian has been destroyed.

So please, carry on, dear seeker, forward and beyond!
