Sir Walter Scott’s 1830 collection, “Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft,” explores superstition and fear of the paranormal in 19th century Europe. #demons #demonology https://connectparanormal.net/2024/01/04/letters-on-demonology-and-witchcraft-by-sir-walter-scott-an-overview/
According to the Goetia, Vine is a mighty king of Hell, commanding 36 demonic legions. He can know the present, past, and future, locate witches and hidden things, create storms and use them to make the water rough, and bring down walls and build towers.

According to the Goetia, Glasya-Labolas is a mighty president of Hell, the author and captain of bloodshed. He can tell all things past and future, turn people invisible, and control minds (making friends and foes fall passionately in love or murder each other).

According to the Goetia, Leonard is a demon lord who serves as grandmaster at many witches' banquets and orgies. He will mark each initiate with one of his three goat horns. In Leonard's spare time, he disguises himself as a handsome soldier to seduce women.

In the Goetia, Andras is a great marquis of Hell who commands thirty demonic legions. He loves to sow discord and stir up trouble. Andras is very dangerous to summon, as he will eagerly kill the sorcerer if precautions aren't taken. However, Andras can also teach the sorcerer to kill their own enemies and betray their masters.

Remember how Hazbin hotel used a bunch of Veve from Vodou to add some edgy aesthetic flair to their scaaary serial killer radio demon character,
and then retroactively made him half-creole as a flimsy justification which kinda just made the whole "offensive stereotype" thing even worse?
Do you know what pissed me off most about it?
DEMONOLOGY LITERALLY ALREADY HAS ITS OWN ENTIRE SYSTEM OF MAGICAL SYMBOLS!
So what will you be in for when you log on for Writing the Occult: Belief on Saturday 6 September? A whole bunch of fascinating discussions about belief and speculative fiction, including this one ⬇️
(And has there ever been a more timely talk at these events?! I mean, honestly...)

In Renaissance Europe, many university students got involved in the occult to rebel against their parents. Books on demon summoning often featured demons who were masters of specific academic disciplines (history, biology, etc.). Students tried to summon them to get good marks in their classes.

According to the Goetia, Baal (or "Bael") is a mighty king of Hell. He can take many forms, and often appears with three heads: a man, a toad, and a cat. Baal speaks in a raucous but well-formed voice, and commands 66 demonic legions. He teaches the art of invisibility.

Though Behemoth is described as a giant land animal in the Bible, other sources depict him as an elephant-headed demon. They say that Behemoth is a monstrous glutton who works as Satan's butler and cupbearer, and oversees Hell's banquets. He also has a good singing voice.
