                          Having spent some time cuddling and playing with goats, which are delightful creatures, I have to ask:

What is the biblical basis of the association, common even among Christians, of goats with Satan and the occult? 

Examples:

Baphomet  - Wikipedia

The Witch: A New-England Folktale  - 2015 horror film
