goat symbol

Goat symbolysm

The goat has long been a visual symbol in visual art and stories. It has a varied significance: gentleness in one tradition and sensuality in another. It symbolizes fertility, vitality and ceaseless energy. The Hebrew sa'ir, goat, is rendered as satyr in the Old Testament (Isaiah 13: 21 and 34:14) and is an object of worship of false gods (Leviticus 17:7 and II Chronicles 11:15.) The goat also symbolized lewdness. This tradition was carried over into Christianity, where the goat represents the Devil, lust, lubricity and the damned while the sheep symbolizes the saved. Christ is portrayed as the Scapegoat taking away the sins of the world.
