Well, scriptures do say many of the watchers were homosexual (in fact they taught human beings homosexuality, also many other things, some relatively benign- makeup for women, agricultural basics,etc. and some malign- how to make weapons for war,etc.) I was considering that Ashtaroth might have some relationship with them because he is clearly homosexual (ie: appears as a Godess when he is male, even the Key of Solomon says so) but that is irrelevant. Devils love deceit so it is in their nature to pretend to be things they are not. The hexagram is a symbol of reconciliation indeed- of the upper realm (upper triangle) with the lower (lower triangle) interposed and bound by the lines of Lucifer, master of heaven and hell ( why sometimes you put a little "G' in the middle of the hexagram- to emphasize he is the great architect). There are many other interpretations- of it being the union of the microcosm of man and macrocosm of the divine universe, of the union of feminine and masculine opposites,etc. but that is my personal favorite, and since the Hexagram was used for pagan Gods now in the Goetia (a book for summoning devils) I can confidently say my interpretation is right.
Look at this:

also at the breasts (my other interpretation is there)
also at the dark moon and the light one (light and darkness, heaven and Hell).
of course this is Levi, but Baphomet has been found in places carved up throughout the middle ages.
