The Demons of Solomon
By : Michael Ford
Goetia refers to demons. Ceremonial magicians will work with angels and demons. Original works of this nature were the greater and lesser kings of Solomon. Now contrary to popular belief King Solomon did not write this grimoire. The reason we can tell that this grimoire comes in at around the birth of christianity and maybe later. There are references to greek and roman demons. It is impotant to note that the Christians deomionized the old gods and made them wicked. For example, Asmodeus has the origins in the Avestan name, “aeshma”, from the Bronze Age male warrior-cults and tribes known as “Mairya”, “Maryanu” or Vedic “Marya”. The grimoire tells the reader who the deon is and gives over a description of what the demon looks like, via illustration and tels what it's job function is. At the end of the description there is a ritual one can do to contact the demon.
As the biblical legend goes King Solomon was tasked with building the great temple in Jerusalem. His father king David could not do it as he had too much blood on his hand. To build the temple King Solomon recieved a ring with whih to control the demons and ultimately seal them away in containers once he was through with them. Seems cruel but these demons could wreak havoc on human life. Not that it is one hundred percent cool right now.
Normnally one conjurs deities for favors. The goal of the left han path it apotheosis or becoming more divine and increasing oour competence. Apotheosis is more life absorbing the qualities of the demon you desire The Left hand Path or Luciferianism is about making yourself godlike. I increases individuality. I have taken the liberty of putting some highlites into the review. Lucieferianism has a holy trinity but it is different from that of Christianity. There trinity is this Will, Desire and Belief . these three things are needed to make magic works. Luciferianism also liberates one from traditional magic practices that bind up our effectiveness. Here is what Luciferianism says about some of the things that we think make our magic stronger. No spells, ritual actions, chants, hymns, invocations including the trappings of planetary times, methods and “traditions” hold any power or substance for the Luciferian. It is not the physical tools or items used in ceremonial magick which provide power: it is the simultaneous unity of Will, Desire and Belief with the disciplined mastery of self-confidence.These are tools of the expression of imagination, design and simultaneous unity of Will, Desire and Belief. Do not invest passion in the process or tools, seek Gnosis from the total invest of this Triad of the Morning Star, supported by the Four Pillars of Luciferianism: the four pilars of Luciferianism are WISDOM, POWER, BALANCE, STRENGTH. Theb ultimate goal of Luciferianism is liberation, illumination and Apotheosis. Liberation means giving us freedom to think independently. Illumination is gaining wisdom and insight. Apotheosis is gaining characteristics of gods or demons. What good are demons you ask. They did teach mankind certain sciences and skills. Beelzeboul in Luciferianism has long been recognized as the patron King of Demons who inspires divination, healing, knowledge and practice of the Black Artes (Magick) and summoning the spirits to with discipline, compel and enhancement of the energy and focus of the Ceremonial Magician.
Left handed spirituality is not all about light and love. Pain and Pleasure rotate on the same wheel. Lix Tetrax and other Solomonic demons under the regal authority of Beelzeboul, are supporting evolution, change, cultural enhancement by overcoming challenge and struggle. While peaceful bliss and a supposed ‘meek’ character is the ideal, stasis creates entropy and devolution. The Adversary does bring terror, chaos, destruction and death, this power also inspires creation, overcoming challenge, obstacles and the Will to Power seeking to master this world. Luciferians flourish by the strength of will and the discipline of our mind.
the Will of the Luciferian must confront and compel (and often devour) the energies of those who challenge.
