Researching demons for a thing I’ve been writing, like ya do, and wikipedia told me this
During the 16th century, it was believed that each demon had more strength to accomplish his mission during a special month of the year. In this way, he and his assistants’ powers would work better during that month.
- Belial in January
- Leviathan in February
- Satan in March
- Belphegor in April
- Lucifer in May
- Berith in June
- Beelzebub in July
- Astaroth in August
- Thammuz in September
- Baal in October
- Asmodai in November
- Moloch in December
The classification of demons by month seems to have astrological implications more than religious ones.
YOU MEAN THIS WHOLE TIME INSTEAD OF BEING LIKE “WHAT SIGN ARE YOU UNDER?” WE COULD HAVE BEEN ASKING “WHAT DEMON ARE YOU UNDER?”
UM WHY AREN’T WE DOING THAT?
Wait I’m Belphegor, who the fuck is that.
“In demonology, Belphegor (or Beelphegor, Hebrew: בַּעַל-פְּעוֹר baʿal-pəʿōr) is a demon, and one of the seven princes of Hell, who helps people make discoveries. He seduces people by suggesting to them ingenious inventions that will make them rich.”
I’M THE SCIENCE DEMON UNDERLING? FUCKING YES. HELL YEAH SCIENCE DEMON.
THAT IS WAY FUCKING BETTER THAN A GODDAMN RAM.
huh let’s see
The term belial (בְלִיַּעַל bĕli-yaal) is a Hebrew adjective meaning “worthless”
tell me something i don’t know lmao
In Anton LaVey’s The Satanic Bible, Belial means “without a master”, and symbolizes independence, self-sufficiency, and personal accomplishment.
