Viscera refers to internal organs, namely intestines, which were often used in fortune-telling rituals by ancient Roman priests.
A Baphomet is an object used for idolizing, also confused with popular representations of Satan.
"El Ciervo Vulnerado" is Spanish for 'The Wounded Shepherd.' In Spanish 'ciervo' and 'venado' are the words for 'deer' although the correct form of saying shepherd is "Siervo". Ciervo, in this case is being used as 'pastor', or 'shepherd'. In the Reina-Valera 1960 Edition of the Holy Bible, Jesus is referred to as 'El Ciervo que fue vulnerado' or the 'Shepherd who was wounded'.
