Out of curiosity, do you like when people headcanon Narinder to be a black panther? I think its pretty cool :>

FINE YOU WANT MY WIP HAVE MY WIP But you only get a peek cause I wanna finish it first.

Little sketch of Runningwithscizzorz panther design cause I love. Nobody tell them cause I still gotta finish it.

Honestly love the wild cat interpretations of him or even any distinct domestic cat breed. I considered designing him off a lynx because of his big ass pointy ears but instead went with a sleek, domestic black cat look. My game theory is that he’s likely based on ancient Egyptian illustrations of cats which would most likely make him a Egyptian wild cat or jungle cat, possibly with melanism causing his all black look.

The 72 Demons Of The Ars Goetia

This will be multi parts and in each one we will be going over each branch of them "whoop whoop" let's get cracking

Starting off the 72 demons of the ars goetia are the amalgamation of the Occult Writings from the 15th century. Compiled into one text in the 17th that is where we get what is now known as the Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis or simply The Lesser Key Of Solomon. Due to many translations spelling changes depending on region and personal preference for the author.

Let's start the Journey with the KINGs Of Hell

Baal (Bael): is the first king of hell with estates in the east and commander of 66 legions. This King is distinguished by his three heads, One of Toad , One Of Man, and One Of Cat. He teaches the art of invisibility and the power to Garner The Favor of Others. He also rules over Love and Science.

His Symbol

As with most Spirits in the Goetia they prefer people who are clever and intelligent. Someone who is willing to put in the work instead of relying entirely on the power of the deity

Paimon(Paymon): one of the kings of hell with estates in the NorthWest he is the ruler of 200 legions of demons. Paimon is depicted as a man with an effeminate face, wearing a precious Crown, and riding a Dromedary. He is said to roar upon arrival and speak in a loud voice until asked a question from the caster. Paimon teaches all arts, philosophies, and sciences, and secret things; he can reveal all mysteries of the Earth, wind, and water, what the mind is, and where it is, and everything the conjurer wants to know.

His Symbol

To summon him it is common practice to have a Sacrifice prepared, usually one of personal significance to the caster.

Beleth: one of the Truly Mighty and terrible kings of hell he is the ruler of 85 legions of demons. Beleth is depicted riding a war house and is said to have Loud music blaring as he arrives. He is said to look terrifying upon arrival and will attempt to frighten the caster to see if they are brave.

His symbol

When summoning him it would be best to hold a silver ring on your left hand middle finger to your face, as to show him his respect due to his rank in the infernal realm.

Purson: One of the Great Kings of Hell, being served and obeyed by twenty-two legions of demons. Purson is depicted as a man with the face of a Lion, carrying a Viper in his hand, and riding a bear. He is commonly associated with the AntiChrist. His powers include knowing all hidden things, discovering treasures and divination (telling all things from past, present and future). He can take on a human or astral form.

His Symbol

He represents the sun and the moon and symbolism from both is best when beginning his summoning. I.E Silver and Gold Jewelry and coloring

Asmodeus(Asmoday): One of my personal favorites, he's the one I have the strongest relationship with out of all of the demons in the Ars Goetia. Labeled as The Thirty-second Spirit He is a Great King, Strong, and Powerful. He appeareth with Three Heads, whereof the first is like a Bull, the second like a Man, and the third like a Ram; he hath also the tail of a Serpent, and from his mouth issue Flames of Fire. His Feet are webbed like those of a Goose. He sitteth upon an Infernal Dragon, and beareth in his hand a Lance with a Banner. He is first and choicest under the Power of AMAYMON, he goeth before all other. He teaches the Arts of Arithmetic, Astronomy, Geometry, and all handicrafts.

When summoning him be respectful he has a soft spot for academics and is a true wonder of a friend to have on your spiritual journey, just don't wear hats around him.

Vine: is an Earl and also a King of Hell, commanding 36 legions of demons. This demon is portrayed as a Lion holding a snake in his hand and riding a black horse. He can tell present, past, and future, discover witches and hidden things, create storms and make the water rough by means of them, and also bring down walls and build towers.

His Symbol

Acts as an elemental guide unto those who may seek to attack you. Vine is also a divinatory spirit who will also brings initiatory knowledge to Wizards, Witches and hidden aspects. Summon him if you wish to learn more about the Occult.

Balam:is a great and powerful king of Hell who commands over 40 legions of demons. Balam is depicted as being three-headed. One head is the head of a bull, the second of a man, and the third of a ram. He has flaming eyes and the tail of a serpent. He carries a hawk on his fist and rides a strong bear. At other times, he is represented as a naked man riding a bear. He gives perfect answers on things past, present, and to come, and can also make men invisible and witty.

His Symbol

From the Daemonolatry Goetia by S. Connolly

“Invoke Balam to get over social awkwardness or to find the inner reasons for shyness or discomfort. Leave a piece of gold in offering to Balam (And his sigil) on the altar to keep magickal works secret until they manifest the desired results.”

Zagan: A Great King and President of Hell, commanding over 33 legions of demons. Zagan is depicted as a griffin-winged bull that turns into a man after a while. He makes men witty; he can also turn wine into water, water into wine, and blood into wine as well as blood into oil, oil into blood, and a fool into a wise man. Other of his powers is that of turning metals into coins that are made with that metal (i.e., gold into a gold coin, copper into a copper coin, etc.).

His Symbol

Turns things into their opposites. Invoke to help curb addictions and bad habits or make delusional people (or dabblers) to see the truth. Zagam rites are a Daemonolatry Keeper ritual

Belial:He is a King of Hell with 80 legions of demons and 50 legions of spirits under his command. He was created as the first, after Lucifer. He has the power to distribute senatorships and gives excellent familiars. He takes the form of Two Beautiful Angels sitting in a Chariot of Fire.

His Symbol

He must be presented with offerings, sacrifices, and gifts, or else he will not give true answers to demands.

Always when working with these entities show them great respect and take into considerations that the majority of these are gods from other cultures that have had there meanings shifted over the years to be perceived as demonic. Treat them with kindness and respect and for the most part they will treat you the same. Do your research and learn. Learn more everyday and don't forget to have fun. The occult is a wonderful and beautiful thing and I hope to take you on more journeys with me.

We will continue this next time when we go over the Dukes of Hell.

Gundam Barbatos and the Occult

I recently started watching Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans, and I was giddy when the Gundam Barbatos boots up for the first time and you see this symbol:

This symbol is the sigil of the demon Barbatos, found in the Lesser Key of Solomon (Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis), a grimoire compiled in the 17th century from much earlier occult writings going back centuries.

Barbatos himself is described as a Duke among demons that was once an angel numbered amongst the Virtues. He has a number of abilities, such as revealing hidden treasure or even allowing humans to understand the speech of animals, and can even reveal knowledge of events in the past or the future.

It's also fitting that there are 72 Gundam frames in the series, and 72 demons listed in the Ars Goetia of the Lesser Key of Solomon.

Magical summer: Goetia

GOETIA

Category: Demonology

When I say “Goetia” you probably think “Ars Goetia”, thanks to Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel… But in truth the “Ars Goetia” is but a small fragment of what the term “goetia” truly covers.

Goetia was actually a common term back in medieval and Renaissance Europe. In France we were lucky because the word evolved in our language, became “goétie”, but in English the word stayed stuck in its original Latin form, “goetia”, itself derived from the Greek word goeteia (charm/witchcraft). Christianity at the time recognized generally two different types of magic, two types of magical craft or occults arts. One was the “good magic”, aka the “theurgy” (theurgia), the art of speaking with benevolent spirits (such as angels) and summoning divine powers (such as those of the saints or of the Virgin Mary) in order to do things making you closer to God. Also called the “natural magic”, it was not exclusively found in Christianity and was widespread (for example the Kabbalah is a form of Jewish theurgy). However the goetia is quite exclusively Christian.

The goetia is the reverse of the theurgy. An evil and heretical form of magic, the goetia is the art of invoking demons. The goetia practitioner could summon demons to do their bidding, be it a defensive job or an offensive job, and they could also enslave evil spirits to their will. In modern days, this kind of “demon-summoning” is what the common folk refers as “demonology” but in truth the demonology is originally just the study and classification of demons. It was an honorable practice done by clerics or by respected authorities – an illustration of the “Know thy enemy” proverb. The “scientific” study that was demonology and the “witchcraft” that was goetia only got confused because demonology texts have goetia as their main subject, AND because demonology treaties also study and report all the ways to invoke, summon and enslave the demons it lists or categorize. But the true art of summoning demon is goetia.

 However, we cannot ignore the “Ars Goetia”, which was the most famous use of the term in history and greatly helped popularize this concept.

What is the “Ars Goetia”? Some say it is a list of demons. True. Other says it is a grimoire of demonology… Yes and no. But then some (encouraged by the Hazbin/Helluva popularity, and before that by its use in comic books and the like) believe that the “Ars Goetia” is actually the name of a specific group of demons – and this is a big no.

The “Ars Goetia” is a book, yes, but a book that doesn’t stand on its own. The “Ars Goetia” is part of a wider and larger grimoire of demonology AND theurgy, written by an anonymous author during the 17th century. This grimoire is known as “The Lesser Key of Solomon” (though ironically, while it is known by this name, it is not the actual name of the book – its real name is “Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis”, which means “The Little Key of Solomon”, but people used the more poetic and approximative translation of “The Lesser Key of Solomon”. Other times they shorten the original Latin title and call the grimoire the “Lemegeton”).  Now The Lesser Key of Solomon is divided into five different books, or five different volumes, each one actually describing a different “art”. And “art” in Latin… is “Ars”. One book is the “Ars Notoria” (Notory Art), a series of prayers that gives the magician who says them the gift of eidetic memory and instantaneous learning. Another is the “Ars Almadel” (the Art of Almaldel) which gives recipes and methods to create wax tablets allowing contact with angels through scrying. A third one is “Ars Paulina” (The Art of Paul, aka Paul the Apostle) giving a list of the 24 angels corresponding to the 24 hours of the day, and another list of the 360 benevolent spirits associated with the degrees of the zodiac. Etc…

And one of these five books is called “Ars Goetia”, which simply means “The art of the goetia”. And this volume (which is actually the first part of The Lesser Key of Solomon) gives a detailed list of 72 demons, each of them having a unique name, appearance, specific powers and abilities, as well as a specific ranking. The result makes a complex demonic hierarchy in Hell with Kings, Dukes, Princes, Counts, Marquis and Presidents. The Ars Goetia also contains indications and precisions about the various rituals and magic spells that can be used to conjure, interrogate or banish those various demons. It notably includes for each demon a given sigil.

The Ars Goetia ended up being the most popular and well-know part of The Lesser Key of Solomon (because demons and Hell and dark magic is cool, and who would want to just talk to lame angels anyway, right?), to the point that many people starting thinking (and editing) the Ars Goetia on its own as if it was its own unique grimoire.

- - -

Fun fact: The Lesser Key of Solomon, while well-known and very popular, is not actually a unique production. In truth, The Lesser Key is just a compilation of many other previous grimoires, rewriten and mashed-up together in five volumes For example the "Ars Goetia" volume is actually just an entire rewrite of a previous demonology grimoire called the "Pseudomonarchia Daemonum", with just a few details changed (for example there are new demons that weren't in the Pseudomonarchia, or some ranks are changed, etc...). In a similar way, the other books also tend to be rewrite or rip-offs of previous grimoires, such as "Steganographia", the "Magical Calendar", the "Heptametron" or the "Three Books of Occult Philosophy" by Cornelius Agrippa.

[alchameth]

"In summary therefore, the main conclusions of this thesis are:

i) There is a considerable amount of commonality between the methods and equipment of magic in the PGM, Hygromanteia and Clavicula Salomonis.

ii) There is a clear line of transmission from the Hygromanteia to the Clavicula Salomonis which is identifiable down to the very detailed level of Solomonic method and specific pieces of equipment. Therefore there can be no doubt that the Hygromanteia is the forefather of the Clavicula Salomonis.

iii) There are two main exceptions to the above point:

a) The skrying chapters in the Hygromanteia, have not been passed on to the Clavicula Salomonis. These skrying methods are however found almost word-forword in an 11th century Jewish source. Accordingly, either Jewish sources supplied these chapters to the Hygromanteia, or were derived from it.

b) The pentacles chapters in the Clavicula Salomonis do not derive from the Hygromanteia, but probably come from the manuscript Sepher ha-Otot, or from a related source.

iv) There is no clear line of transmission between the PGM and the Hygromanteia, but the high degree of commonality makes it certain that the PGM was a major contributor to the contents of the Hygromanteia. The Testament of Solomon was also shown to be an important contributor to the Hygromanteia.

v) A number of magical techniques were identified, such as precise timing of rites by day, hour and Moon phase, strict purification, fasting, use of specific incenses, use of shared nomina magica, and techniques such as threatening spirits with the names of their superiors, or the impersonation of a god to ensure compliance from the spirit.

vi) Equipment used for protection of the magician including the protective floor circle and the phylactery/ourania/lamen, are common to all three texts.

vii) There is a definite sequence to the procedures of ‘Solomonic magic’, foreshadowed in the PGM, but precisely defined in the Hygromanteia and the Clavicula Salomonis, and identified as the ‘Solomonic method.’

viii) The pentacle section of the Clavicula Salomonis was derived from the Sepher ha-Otot, or a cognate Hebrew source. A crude cut-down version of these pentacles was used in the Hygromanteia to construct the ourania/lamen, and the pentacles found in versions of the Clavicula Salomonis are less detailed, and with less complete Hebrew. Therefore either the Sepher ha-Otot is contributory to both the Hygromanteia and the Clavicula Salomonis, or a common ancestor informed all three texts.

ix) The meaning of -µαντεια as used in chapters 47-58 of the Hygromanteia embraces evocation and skrying as well as just divination.

x) Although Hebraic god names like Adonai, Iaō and Sabaoth are frequently found in the PGM, the Hygromanteia and Clavicula Salomonis, they were divorced from the methods of Jewish magic.

xi) The Sepher Maphteah Shelomoh manuscript of 1700, instead of being evidence of the Jewish roots of Solomonic magic, was in fact a translation of a Latin/Italian manuscript of the Clavicula Salomonis, and therefore not its source.

xii) A full set of correspondences of stones, herbs and beasts, has become split off from the Hygromanteia, prior to 1440, leaving just a few zodiacal and planetary herbal correspondences. These correspondences reappear in other grimoires, such as the Sepher Raziel, or in separate lapidaria, herbaria or bestiaries, but are not carried forward into the Clavicula Salomonis.

xiii) The so-called Mithrasliturgie, is neither a Mithraic text nor the liturgy of any religion, nor is it a magical text, but a procedure for a solitary Mystery rite, designed to confer immortality upon just one initiate.

xiv) A new translation for the Ephesia Grammata has been proposed, as an example of how knowledge of the techniques can sometimes help to decipher the meaning of nomina magica.

Speculative Conclusions about the origins of the Hygromanteia:

xv) The date of composition of the Hygromanteia was probably late 6th/early 7th century, with a major redaction occurring in the early 13th century.

xvi) The place of composition of the Hygromanteia was probably Alexandria, with the text being subsequently taken to Constantinople. The author was Greek educated and not a Christian.

xvii) The Hygromanteia may have been written or compiled by Stephanos of Alexandria (and Athens) in the late 6th century, and brought by him to Constantinople.

xviii) The title Hygromanteia was originally only applied to the last chapters 47-59.

ix) The most likely title of the Hygromanteia is The Magical Treatise of Gathering and Directing the Spirits, or the Magical Treatise, although it was probably originally called the Ἀποτελεσµατικὴ πραγµατεία."

[astroyongie]

Thank you for your answer! Another question i have is that do you have any reliable sorce (source? I’m sorry, english is not my first language T-T) where i can read about the high and low energies? I wanna look up more info about them but i’m afraid i would get information a that are not really reliable

for the higher energies (angels) the Kabbalah is the best font (also any religious text is good to learn about it)

for the lower energies the best is Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis (Clavicle of Solomon) or Ars Goetia HOWEVER!!! I wouldn't advise you to read this book or any Goetia books if the "occult" scares you and if you associate lower energies to "demons". that could be way too intense. so to start if you are just interested in how energy work, reading occult encyclopedia (that has both the high and low energies) is probably a wiser choice.
