The Book of Abbaddon : Become a Living God

ABADDON: The Angel of the Abyss by E.A. Koetting
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book marks the 4th in a series of books about working with arch demons. This one is about Abbaddon. He is the gate keeper of the abyss or the guy who guards the entrance and exit to Hell. This fallen angel is the one who stops the demons from leaving Hell and haunting our world. He also won’t let you in either. Abbaddon is not only identified with being the guardian to Hell, he is associated with several other entities.

Since Abbaddon determines who leaves and enters Hell, he has often been conflated with Satan himself. In the Book of Revelations he is mentioned but he is not only called Abbaddon but he is called Apollyon. This connects him to the Greek God Apollo. Abbaddon is at times called the king of locusts or plaques. Apollo can control plagues and he has some warrior aspects in common with Abbaddon. He has wolf like characteristics. Abbaddon has also been conflated with Hades the lord of the dead. In a way that is fitting. After all Abbaddon is a king of Hell as he decides who comes and goes. Abbaddon is also conflated with Bab and Hekate. Both are escorts to the realm of the dead.

Abbaddon used to be associated with a place in the underworld. Now he is a being. The book itself has rituals for initiation , cursing and other rituals connected to the deities mentioned above.

This is a left handed philosophy book and the objective is not to merge with god but rather to become a living god. The book asks for discipline and to cut away our attachments. You will like the philosophy As it is very empowering.
