And
there was a great battle in heaven,
Michael and his angels fought with the
dragon, and the dragon fought and his
angels: and they prevailed not, neither
was their place found any more in heaven.
And that great dragon was cast out,
that old serpent, who is called the
devil and Satan, who seduceth the whole
world; and he was cast unto the earth,
and his angels were thrown down with
him. (Apocalypse 12:7-9)
This devil -- known variously as Old
Nick, Old Scratch, Old Split-Foot, and
Der Teufel -- did not begin his career
as the "Satan" (adversary)
of Christianity and Judaism or the "Prince
of Darkness" and "fallen angel"
popularized by John Milton in his epic
poem "Paradise Lost" (1667
- 1674).

Traditionally
to some writers
and Tarot Card
readers the
Devil Tarot
Card stands
for the ultimate
force of all
evil ( Karma),
but it does
not have this
rather frightening
meaning in a
reading. This
card lets you
know that you
are caught in
an unhealthy,
unproductive
situation. It
also refers
to things that
we are bound
to. You may
be in the dark
about something
- ignorant of
the truth and
its implications,
but the truth
is about to
be thrust upon
you ready or
not.
Sometimes
this card reflects
back the negativity
that has made
you doubt your
life, dreams,
ideas, desires
and your future.
We are prone
to many errors
in life. Card
15 lets us know
when they are
serious enough
to require attention.
When you see
the Devil, examine
your assumptions
carefully. Make
sure you are
not working
from a false
picture of yourself
and the situation.
Hold fast to
the highest
vision of who
you are. Most
of all learn
and grow from
it!
In the Rider-Waite-Smith
deck, the Devil
sits above two
naked human
demons - one
male, one female,
who are chained
to his seat.
The devil, in
part derived
from Eliphas
Levi's famous
illustration
"Baphomet"
in his Dogme
et Rituel de
la Haute Magie
(1855), is winged
and horned and
combines human
and bestial
features.
Many modern
Tarot decks
portray the
devil as a satyr-like
creature. In
the Tarot of
Marseilles (illustration,
below), the
devil is portrayed
with facial
features in
unusual places,
such as a mouth
on his stomach,
eyes on his
knees, etc.,
and has both
female breasts
and male genitalia.

Can
the Devil be a sign or a bringer
of good luck? Yes, according
to many old European traditions.
And in Tarot Card Readings.
The
old Devil is a Teutonic woods-spirit,
an ogre-like trickster who
may desire to eat human flesh,
but is often friendly to wood-cutters
and footloose soldiers. In
Germanic folk-tales like those
collected by the Grimm brothers,
he is usually described as
living out in the woods with
his aged grandmother who combs
his hair to put him to sleep
at night. Among Americans
of Anglo-Saxon heritage, he
is sometimes said to have
a wife who quarrels with him.
In
the area of Central and Eastern
Europe comprising Germany,
Austria, Hungary, and the
Czech Republic, the Devil
was never fully absorbed into
the Christian mythos as Satan
but remained as he had always
been, a slender, horned, bearded,
fur-covered half-man of the
woods. Under the regional
names Krampus, Schwarze Peter
(Black Peter), and Knecht
Ruprecht (Ruprecht the Servant),
he accompanies Saint Nicholas
on his rounds of gift-giving,
originally on December 6th,
but eventually on Christmas
Day, December 25th. In the
early part of the 20th century
it was the custom during December
to send humourous Krampus
postcards to friends.

In Christianity, the
Devil is named Satan, sometimes Lucifer.
He is a greatest and the most powerful
of all the fallen angel who rebelled
against the lord almighty God, and has
been condemned to Hell for all eternity.
In the Bible, he is identified with
the serpent in the Garden of Eden, Eves
tempter, the Accuser of Job, the tempter
of the Gospels, and the old dragon in
the Book of Revelation. So mighty is
he that he transends all religon and
dogma.
Fallen
Angels
Lucifer
- by Gustave Dore
In Abrahamic
traditions, a fallen
angel is an angel that
has been exiled or banished
from Heaven. Often such
banishment is a punishment
for disobeying or rebelling
against the Almighty
God. One early source
for information on angelology
and demonology, is the
Persian prophet Zoroaster,
who is thought to have
influenced Judeo-Christian
beliefs. The best-known
fallen angel is, lucifer
or Satan. According
to some formal traditions,
fallen angels will roam
and tempt and destroy
those living on the
Earth until the final
Judgment Day, when they
will be banished to
Hell forever by God.
Seraphim:
Lucifer or satan is
leader of the Hierarchy
of Devils.
Azazel was Leader of
the Nephilim, and next
after Lucifer. And the
chief of the nine choirs
of angels are fallen.
Of the choir of Seraphim
there fell at first
Lucifer, Azazel, Beelzebub
and Leviathan, who did
all revolt. Michael
was the first that resisted
Lucifer, and the rest
of the "good"
angels followed him
and so he is now the
chief among them. (It
is not known why Azazel
is the leader of the
nephilim and not lucifer.)
Beelzebub is the god
of flies, people say
that he was the angel
of Germs or Plague.
Asmodeus is of the same
order. He continues
as a Seraphim to this
day, that is, he burns
with the desire to tempt
men with his wine of
luxuriousness, and is
the prince of the wantons.
Leviathan
Abaddon
Samael
Semyazza was a Grigori
(meaning "Watchers"
in Greek), a group of
fallen "sons of
God" who descended
upon the earth to mate
with human females.
The Grigori were bound
to the earth during
the Great Flood as punishment
for their fall.
Cherubim:
Balberith is Prince
of the Cherubim. He
tempts men to commit
homicides, and to be
quarrelsome, contentious,
and blasphemous.
Lauviah
Marou
Salikotal
Thrones:
Astaroth, Prince of
the Thrones, is always
desirous to sit idle

In Islam the Devil
is referred to as Iblis, which is Arabic
for Lucifer, and is also called Satan
(Arabic: Shaitan) (a word referring
to evil devil-like beings). According
to the Qur'an, God (called Allah in
Arabic) created the Devil out of "smokeless
fire", while He created man out
of clay. The primary characteristic
of the Devil, besides hubris, is that
he has no power other than the power
to cast evil suggestions into the heart
of men. He was expelled from the grace
of God when he failed to pay homage
to Adam, the
father of all mankind. He claimed to
be superior to Adam, on the grounds
that man was created of earth unlike
himself. Even the other angels showed
a degree of suspicion when God informed
them about the creation of man as the
regent (caliph) of all things on Earth,
but they ultimately prostrated before
Adam to show their homage. However,
Iblis, adamant in his view that man
is a worthless being, never bowed his
head before any other than God. This
caused him to be expelled by God, a
fact that Iblis blamed on humanity.
Initially, the Devil was successful
in deceiving Adam, but once his intentions
became clear, Adam and Eve repented
to God and were freed from their misdeeds
and forgiven. God gave them a strong
warning about Iblis and the fires of
Hell and asked them and their children
(humankind) to stay away from the deceptions
of their senses caused by the Devil.
In Hebrew, the biblical
word ha-satan means adversary or obstacle,
or even "the prosecutor" (recognizing
that God is viewed as the ultimate Judge).
In the book of Job
(Iyov), ha-satan is the title, not the
proper name, of an angel submitted to
God; he is the divine court's chief
prosecutor. In Judaism ha-satan does
not make evil, rather points out to
God the evil inclinations and actions
of humankind. In essence ha-satan has
no power unless humans do evil things.
After God points out Job's piety, ha-satan
asks for permission to test the faith
of Job. The righteous man is afflicted
with loss of family, property, and later,
health, but he still stays faithful
to God. At the conclusion of this book
God appears as a whirlwind, explaining
to all that divine justice is inscrutable
with human intellect. In the epilogue
Job's possessions are restored and he
has a second family to "replace"
the one that died.
There is no evidence
in Torah, or in the books of the Prophets
and other writings, to suggest that
God created an evil being. In fact,
the Book of Isaiah, Job, Ecclesiastes,
and Deuteronomy all have passages which
God is credited for creating both the
good and the evil of this world.
The Hebrew word for
evil used above is usually translated
as 'calamity', 'disaster' or 'chaos'.
A "devil"-like
figure in Buddhism is Mara. He is a
tempter, who also tempted Gautama Buddha
by trying to seduce him with the vision
of beautiful women who, in various legends,
are often said to be Mara's daughters.
Mara personifies unskillfulness, the
"death" of the spiritual life.
He tries to distract humans from practicing
the spiritual life by making the mundane
alluring or the negative seem positive.
Another interpretation of Mara is that
he is the desires that are present in
ones own mind preventing the person
from seeing the truth. So in a sense
Mara is not an independent being but
a part of ones own being that has to
be defeated.

THE QUEEN OF HELL
Lilith, a female demon important
in Judaism, does not count in
Christian demonology. However,
the newer generation of demonologists
(and some modern exorcists/deliverance
counselors) recognize Lilith
as a general demon, the argument
being that if other Judaic demons
exist in Christian demonology,
so should Lilith as well, introducing
her as the wife of Samael, and
as a princess and queen of Hell.
Also, from the aforementioned
'everything other than God and
His angels, if spirit, is demon'
vane of reasoning - we find
valid logical reasoning for
there being a 'Lilith demon'
- if simply to create confusion
& add validity to the following
of Lilith as deity.

The
Temptation of St. Anthony

The Metropolitan Museum

The Goetia: The Lesser
Key of Solomon the King
is an anonymous 17th century
grimoire, and one of the
most popular books of
demonology. It has also
long been widely known
as the Lemegeton, although
that name is considered
incorrect because it depends
on faulty Latin.
It appeared in the 17th
century, but much was
taken from texts of the
16th century, including
the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum,
by Johann Weyer, and late-medieval
grimoires. It is likely
that books by Jewish kabbalists
and Muslim mystics were
also inspirations. Some
of the material in the
first section, concerning
the summoning of demons,
dates to the 14th century
or earlier.
The book claims that
it was originally written
by King Solomon, although
this is certainly incorrect.
The titles of nobility
assigned to the demons
were unknown in his time,
as were the prayers to
Jesus and the Christian
Trinity included in the
text.
The Lesser Key of Solomon
contains detailed descriptions
of spirits and the conjurations
needed to invoke and oblige
them to do the will of
the conjurer (referred
to as the "exorcist").
It details the protective
signs and rituals to be
performed, the actions
necessary to prevent the
spirits from gaining control,
the preparations prior
to the invocations, and
instructions on how to
make the necessary instruments
for the execution of these
rituals.
The several original
copies extant vary considerably
in detail and in the spellings
of the spirits' names.
Contemporary editions
are widely available in
print and on the Internet.
The Goetia: The Lesser
Key of Solomon the King
(Clavicula Salomonis Regis)
is a translation of the
text by Samuel Mathers
and Aleister Crowley.
It is essentially a manual
that gives instructions
for summoning 72 different
spirits.

Devil
- Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_devil
There
are a number of beliefs
regarding the war in Heaven
and fallen angels. Many
focus on issues of free
will, lust, pride, or
the incomprehensibility
of the acts of God. An
act by God of creation
was foreseen as resulting
in multiple outcomes,
with each of these three
doctrines that were traits
held by certain angels.
These fallen angels foresaw
the doom impending. In
one entity, that is both
omnipotent and omnipresent,
who gives certain ideas
to humanity and expects
only one right way to
live - by universal morals,
ethics and faith. However,
given the doctrine of
free will, each one of
these ideas leads one
to speculate on the basis
of duality of right and
wrong, good and evil,
and heaven and hell.
"The
Three Books of Enoch",
a set of books found in
the Pseudepigrapha of
the Old Testament.
According
to these books, it is
because of lust that some
angels fell from Heaven.
God asked the "Watchers"
(Grigori), a select group
of angels, to assist the
Archangels in the creation
of Eden. Those Grigori
who descended to Earth
saw the daughters of men
and became enchanted with
them. Consequently, the
Grigori began to reveal
to man some of the secrets
of Heaven, such as astrology,
weapons production, and
the vanity of enhancing
the face and body with
perfumes and cosmetics.
The Grigori then fell
in love with human women.
According to the text,
some of the Grigori even
took wives and created
offspring, giants known
as the Nephilim. This
made God so angry that
he cursed those Grigori
who had betrayed Him,
threw them out of Heaven,
made them mortal and transformed
them into demons. God
sent the Great Flood to
cleanse the Earth of the
wanton killing and destruction
perpetrated by the Nephilim.
Notable angels who fell
in this account are Semyazza,
Samael, and Azazel. A
single verse from the
Book of Genesis in the
Old Testament alludes
to the "sons of God"
intermarrying with the
"daughters of Man"
to create a species known
as "Nephilim".

Devil Tarot Card Icon,

Though lesser in numbers,
the male progeny of the
demon goddess Lilith were
nonetheless a force to
be reckoned with –
offspring following in
the footsteps of their
father, the very, very,
very bad angel Sammael.
While
their sisters and sometimes
lovers the succubi and
maras relied upon the
seduction and glamour
to tempt men into the
sin of copulation with
demons, the male incubi
were imbued with a natural
allure that gave them
power to overcome even
the most chaste females.
It was said of the incubi
that they, like their
angelic father, possessed
much of the nobility inherent
in their nature at the
beginning of time. It
made sense, after all,
that they should become
the heirs of this higher
quality from their forebear,
who was created along
with the angels who remained
loyal before the throne
of God. But in the lower
regions of the human world,
where the veil between
the natural and unnatural
is often tenuous, the
beauty and nobility of
their nature would serve
them well and, though
they were devils, they
would often meet little
resistance among the daughters
of man.

The musical
interval of an Augmented 4th is sometimes
known as "The Devil In Music",
a name given to it circa. 1400, given
its unusual sound. Composers were encouraged
to stay away from the interval, and
whilst it is sometimes found in non-religious
music of the time, it was never used
in religious music until the existing
system of keys came into use.
Devil
- Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_devil
When
Satan tempted Jesus, he
appealed to three things:
the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eyes and
the boastful pride of
life. First he challenged
Jesus, after a 40-day
fast, to use his powers
to make food and satisfy
His fleshly needs. Then
he challenged Jesus to
look at the world from
a high place and offered
Him dominion over all
He saw. Finally, he tempted
Jesus to throw Himself
down from a tower, saying
that surely, as God's
son, He would be saved
- an appeal to pride.
Ary Scheffer's
The Temptation
of Christ
|
Another
view popular for a
time was that the
devil wasn't so much
tempting Jesus as
presenting him with
the different options
he could take to be
a Messiah, and making
him choose one. Evangelicals
point to the word
usually translated
as tempt as being
more accurately translated
as test, i.e. that
the devil was testing
Jesus' understanding
of his role rather
than trying to lure
him to sin. |
Deuteronomy 6:13, which
refers to a rejection
of idolatry, to reject
power over all the kingdoms
of the world. In Matthew,
Jesus also says Get away
from me, Satan, the only
place in the whole story
that the word Satan is
used to refer to the devil.
Deuteronomy 6:16, which
admonishes the Israelites
for testing Yahweh, to
reject jumping and relying
on divine rescue. Some
Christians extrapolate
from this a rejection
of Antinomianism since
it is a quote from Moses.
A ninth century Islamic
tradition instead explains
that Jesus refused to
leap because he quite
sensibly doubted whether
he would be saved.
Deuteronomy 8:3, which
refers to a need to have
spiritual as well as physical
sustenance, to reject
a solution to hunger.
Unlike Matthew, Luke abbreviates
the quote, neglecting
to include the part that
states that man should
live by everything that
proceeds out of the mouth
of God. The part of this
quote that is in both
Luke and Matthew - man
shall not live by bread
alone- has today become
a common expression, which
some take to refer to
a need for spirituality,
but most use in the opposite
sense, to justify material
luxuries.

BY THE DEVILS' CURSE
Cursed
by the devil. Many Americans believe
that serious forces are working against
them? Do You? A righteous curse, especially
when uttered by persons in authority,
was believed to be unfailing in its
effect (Gen. 9:25, 27:12; II Kings 2:24;
Ecclus. Sirach 3:11). Special names
for specific types of curses and evil
spells can be found in several modern
cultures. A Haunted house Can be cursed

THE
DEVIL'S DUE
Whether
we call him The Great Satan, Lucifer,
Shaitan, Beelzebub, Iblis-Satan is also
commonly known as the Devil, the "Prince
of Darkness,", Belial, and Mephistopheles
or the Dragon, the Serpent, the Goat.
Or whether we are afraid to speak his
unholy infernal name aloud at all -
many people are truly concerned about
the Devil's great powers over them and
others question if he is real. Satan
represents metaphysically simply the
reverse or the polar opposite of everything
in nature. The Kabalists say that the
true name of Satan is that of Jehovah
placed upside down, for "Satan
is not a black god but the negation
of the white deity," or the light
of Truth. God is light and Satan is
the necessary darkness or shadow to
set it off, without which pure light
would be invisible and incomprehensible.

THE SHE DEVILS:
DAUGHTERS
OF DARKNESS
Lilith
is a female Mesopotamian night demon
believed to harm male children. In Isaiah
34:14, Lilith (Hebrew Lilit) is a kind
of night-demon or animal, translated
as onokentauros; in the Septuagint,
as lamia; "witch" by Hieronymus
of Cardia; and as screech owl in the
King James Version of the Bible. In
the Talmud and Midrash, Lilith appears
as a night demon. She is often identified
as the first wife of Adam and sometimes
thought to be the mother of all incubi
and succubi, a legend that arose in
the Middle Ages. Lilith is also sometimes
considered to be the paramour of Satan.

SONS
OF PERDITION: INCUBI AND DEMON LOVERS
“And
they are called Incubi from their practice
of overlaying, that is debauching. For
they often lust lecherously after women,
and copulate with them…the foulest
venereal acts are performed by such
devils, not for the sake of delectation,
but for the pollution of the souls and
bodies of those to whom they act as
. . . Incubi [and] through such action
complete conception and generation by
women can take place.” <

THE
DEVIL BABY
“I
thought it was a little kid, you know?
Like, it needed some help. It was just
sitting there, hunched over in the gutter.
It sounded like it was gasping, or having
an asthma attack or something. When
I bent down to it and it turned around,
I almost died on the spot! It was horrible!
And what was worse was how it ran away
– it scittered, you know, like
a roach on paper! It ran off toward
Dauphine [Street]! I tell you what:
I don’t walk down there alone
anymore!”

Rolling
Stones | Sympathy For The Devil Lyrics
Please
allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get
down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
cause Im in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it,
get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, whats my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, whats my name
I tell you one time, youre to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
