A talisman is a small amulet or other object, often bearing magical symbols, worn to attract something or for protection against evil spirits or the supernatural. A symbol of Black Magic to many, the goat of Mendes (also known as Bathomet of Baphomet) was an intrinsic part of the Black Sabbath. However, the Fire Torch between its horns reveals its deeper meaning of the perpetual struggle between light and darkness. The pendant contains a round clear faceted stone at the top. The pendant measures 2 inches tall, 1 3/4 inches wide , and it comes with an 18 inch 3mm curb link necklace. It makes a great gift for anyone looking for balance.
