(Greek daimon and daimonion, Lat. daemonium). The word demon is apparently derived from daio "to divide" or "apportion", originally meant a divine
being; it was occasionally applied to the higher gods and goddesses, but was more generally used to denote spiritual beings
of a lower order coming between gods and men. It is now practically restricted to the evil spirits. A similar change and deterioration
of meaning has taken place in the Iranian languages in the case of the word daeva. Etymologically this is identical with the
Sanskrit deva, by which it is rendered in Neriosengh's version of the Avesta. For the original meaning of the word is "shining
one", and it comes from a primitive Aryan root div, which is likewise the source of the Greek Zeus and the Latin deus. But
whereas the devas of Indian theology are good and beneficent gods, the daevas of the Avesta are hateful spirits of evil. Demon is often confused with devil as both qualify the evil spirits or fallen angels. The precise distinction
between the two terms in ecclesiastical usage may be found in the decree of the Fourth Lateran Council: "Diabolus enim et alii daemones" (The devil and the other demons), means that the chief of the demons
is called the devil, also found in Matthew 25:41, "the Devil and his angels". This distinction is observed in the Vulgate
New Testament, where diabolus represents the Greek diabolos and in almost every instance refers to Satan himself, while his
subordinate angels are described, in accordance with the Greek, as daemones or daemonia. It does not indicate
a difference of nature; for Satan is clearly included among the daemones in James 2:19 and in Luke 11:15-18. “Devil” comes from diabolus (diabolos -- diaballein), the Greek word diabollos which means
a slanderer, or accuser, and directly refers to the rebellion of the fallen angel and God’s judgment. "The accuser [ho
kategoros] of our brethren is cast forth, who accused them before our God day and night" (Apocalypse 12:10). It thus answers
to the Hebrew name Satan which signifies an adversary, or an accuser. Satan = The accuser |

Aka : Arcade Shape : Angel Rank : Seraphin
Origin : Hebraïc
Myths : Abdiel was the most vindicative angel against the
Rebels headed by Satan Magic : appears on several pentacles of the Key of Salomon and the Legemeton
Source : Book of Raziel (XIII), Milton’s Paradise, Key of Salomon,
Legemeton
Element/sin : insects Name : The Destroyer / Appolyon Shape : King of the cricket-demons Rank : Head of the Sixth House of Hell, Demonic Ruler of the Abyss Origin : Apocalypse, St Thomas. Abaddon is specifically mentioned five times
in the Old Testament Myths :He is one of the kings that has ruled over the nations of the earth.
The scriptures indicate that he ruled over both Egypt and Sodom at some point in history, and will endeavour to rule over
Jerusalem in the final days. Jerusalem will figuratively be called Sodom and Egypt at that time. At the end of times he is
given the key to the abyss and releases these demon hordes on the people of the earth
Shape : a fat-bellied character with the head of a king, a dragon's tail,
and serpents instead of legs. He also carries a whip in his hand. He is often featured with the head of a cock. Rank : the ruler of all the 365 heavens (Basilides of Egypt) Origin : Gnostic. Express the unspeakable name of the Supreme Being and to
symbolize its solar power. Magic : The seven letters of his name signify the seven creative powers, or
the seven planetary angels, recognized by the ancients. In numerology, the value of the letters in Abraxas adds up to three
hundred and sixty-five, the number of days (365) and powers of the year, and the three hundred and sixty-five spirits occupying
the heavens. The name Abraxas seems also to have been the origin of the word 'abracadabra,' a magic spell said to be of very
great power. Quote : From Tertullian : 'Afterwards broke out the heretic Basilides. He affirms that there is a supreme Deity, by name
Abraxas, by whom was created Mind, which in Greek he calls Nous; that thence sprang the Word; that of Him issued Providence,
Virtue, and Wisdom; that out of these subsequently were made Principalities, powers, and Angels; that there ensued infinite
issues and processions of angels; that by these angels 365 heavens were formed, and the world, in honour of Abraxas, whose
name, if computed, has in itself this number. Now, among the last of the angels, those who made this world, he places the
God of the Jews latest, that is, the God of the Law and of the Prophets, whom he denies to be a God, but affirms to be an
angel. To him, he says, was allotted the seed of Abraham, and accordingly he it was who transferred the sons of Israel from
the land of Egypt into the land of Canaan; affirming him to be turbulent above the other angels, and accordingly given to
the frequent arousing of seditions and wars, yes, and the shedding of human blood. Christ, moreover, he affirms to have been
sent, not by this maker of the world, but by the above-named Abraxas; and to have come in a phantasm, and been destitute of
the substance of flesh: that it was not He who suffered among the Jews, but that Simon was crucified in His stead: whence,
again, there must be no believing on him who was crucified, lest one confess to having believed on Simon. Martyrdoms, he says,
are not to be endured. The resurrection of the flesh he strenuously impugns, affirming that salvation has not been promised
to bodies.'

throned upon an altar, mitered and horned, having a woman's breasts and the generative organs of a man -- a chimera, a malformed
sphinx, a systhesis of deformities. Below this figure we read a frank and simple inscription -- the Devil. Yes, we confront
here that phantom of all terrors, the dragon of all theogonies, the Ahriman of the Persians, the Typhon of the Egyptians,
the Python of the Greeks, the old serpent of the Hebrews, the fantastic monster, the nightmare, the Croquemitaine, the gargoyle,
the great beast of the Middle Ages, and -- worse than all of these -- the Baphomet of the Templars, the bearded idol of the
alchemist, the obscene deity of Mendes, the goat of the Sabbath." Eliphas Levi

L. MacGregor Mathers, put Beelzebub in the second demonic order in the sphere of Chokmah, below Satan and Moloch but above
Lucifer Origin : He was an idol of the Canaanites, and his best known shrine was in
the Philistine city of Ekron. When King Ahaziah of Israel consulted his oracle in Ekron, he brought upon himself the wrath

Testament of Salomon, Grimorium Verum, Cazotte Quote : 'It is only by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons'
- Matthew 9:34 "There are some of the school of the theologians who distribute the evil spirits into
nine degrees, as contrary to the nine orders of the angels. Therefore the first of these are those which are called False
Gods, who usurping the name of God, would be worshipped for gods, and require sacrifices and adorations, as that Devil, who
saith to Christ, if thou wilt fall down and worshop me, I will give thee all these things, showing him all the kingdoms of
the world; and the prince of these is he who said, I will ascend above the height of the clouds, and will be like to the Most
High; who is therefore called Beelzebub, that is, an old god." Cornelius Agrippa “I conjure bind and charge thee by Lucifer And I summoned again to stand before me Beelzeboul, the prince of demons, and I sat him down
on a raised seat of honour, and said to him: "Why art thou alone, prince of the demons?" And he said to me: "Because
I alone am left of the angels of heaven that came down. For I was first angel in the first heaven, being entitled Beelzeboul.
And now I control all who are bound in Tartarus . . . " I Solomon said unto him: "Beelzeboul, what is thy employment?" And he answered me: "I
destroy kings. I ally myself with foreign tyrants. And my own demons I set on to men, in order that the latter
may believe in them and be lost. And the chosen servants of God, priests and faithful men, I excite unto desires for
wicked sins, and evil heresies, and lawless deeds; and they obey me, and I bear them on to destruction. And I inspire
men with envy, and murder, and for wars and sodomy, and other evil things. And I will destroy the world . . . " I said to him: "Tell me by what angel thou art frustrated." And he answered: "By
the holy and precious name of the Almighty God, called by the Hebrews by a row of numbers, of which the sum is 644, and among
the Greeks it is Emmanuel. And if one of the Romans adjure me by the name of the power Eleêth, I disappear at once."
Testament of Solomon “the invocation to make visible the appearance of such fearful potencies as Amaymon,
Egyn, and Beelzebub would probably result in the death of the exorcist on the spot; such death presenting the symptoms of
one arising from Epilepsy, Apoplexy, or Strangulation.'” MacGregor Mathers "Beelzebub was Prince of the Seraphim, the next unto Lucifer. For all the princes, that
is to say all the chief of the nine choirs of angels, are fallen; and of the choir of Seraphim there fell the three first,
to wit, Lucifer, Beelzebub, and Leviathan, who did all revolt." Sister Madeleine de Demandoix of Aix-en-Provence "Then Hell, receiving Satan the prince, with sore reproach said unto him: O prince of perdition
and chief of destruction, Beelzebub, the scorn of the angels and spitting of the righteous why wouldest thou do this? Thou
wouldest crucify the King of glory and at his decease didst promise us great spoils of his death: like a fool thou knewest
not what thou didst. For behold now, this Jesus putteth to flight by the brightness of his majesty all the darkness of death,
and hath broken the strong depths of the prisons, and let out the prisoners and loosed them that were bound. And all that
were sighing in our torments do rejoice against us, and at their prayers our dominions are vanquished and our realms conquered,
and now no nation of men feareth us any more. And beside this, the dead which were never wont to be proud triumph over us,
and the captives which never could be joyful do threaten us. O prince Satan, father of all the wicked and ungodly and renegades
wherefore wouldest thou do this? They that from the beginning until now have despaired of life and salvation-now is none of
their wonted roarings heard, neither doth any groan from them sound in our ears, nor is there any sign of tears upon the face
of any of them. O prince Satan, holder of the keys of hell, those thy riches which thou hadst gained by the tree of transgression
and the losing of paradise, thou hast lost by the tree of the cross, and all thy gladness hath perished. When thou didst hang
up Christ Jesus the King of glory thou wroughtest against thyself and against me. Henceforth thou shalt know what eternal
torments and infinite pains thou art to suffer in my keeping for ever. O prince Satan, author of death and head of all pride,
thou oughtest first to have sought out matter of evil in this Jesus: Wherefore didst thou adventure without cause to crucify
him unjustly against whom thou foundest no blame, and to bring into our realm the innocent and righteous one, and to lose
the guilty and the ungodly and unrighteous of the whole world? And when Hell had spoken thus unto Satan the prince, then said
the King of glory unto Hell: Satan the prince shall be in thy power unto all ages in the stead of Adam and his children, even
those that are my righteous ones" - Gospel of Nicodemus VII (XXIII)
Element/sin : demon of lust and gluttony Shape : elephant or hippopotamus, a cat Rank : a headwaiter, or the caretaker of wine cellars of Hell Origin : Egyptian deity Taueret. Myths : One of the first monster created by God to guard the Earth
Magic : "his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel
of his belly" Association : Leviathan Source : Book of Job, Enoch, Apocalypse, Jean Wier’s Pseudomonarchia Daemonum,
Boulgakov, Blake Quote : "Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength
is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are
wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. He is the chief of the ways of
God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts
of the field play. He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. The shady trees cover him with their
shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not; he trusteth that he can
draw up Jordan into his mouth. He taketh it with his eyes; his nose pierceth through snares." Job 40:15-24 “And that day will two monsters be parted, one monster, a female named Leviathan in order to dwell in the abyss of the ocean over the fountains of water; and (the other),
a male called Behemoth, which holds his chest in an invisible desert whose name is Dundayin, east of the garden of Eden.”
1 Enoch 60:7-8 “Behold Behemoth, “The Earth obey'd and straight
