TESTAMENTS OF THE TWELVE PATRIARCHS The Septuagint follows a specific Hebraic consideration that Belial, being “Beli’ol” is “The one who has thrown off the yoke of heaven” and is thus without a master. The Luciferian finds connections in the path of history and mythology and seeks to make them work for he or she in the modern world. The spirit of Belial is of the mastery of the earth, identified with the element of Earth and the North, from which Ahriman is identical. Consider the four elements however and their association with the Adversary as a spirit of self-deification and self-mastery. SAMAEL is known in the Talmudic texts as being the same as Satan, the chief of Evil Spirits who is known as “The Venom of God”. Samael is said to have twelve wings rather than the six of normal angels, a favored assumption. As the Angel of Death, Samael was the angel of poison which is “sain ha-mawet”, along with Ashmodai, is the Lord of Demons. Compare to Ahriman and his created daeva Eshm or Aeshma, who controls and directs the seven powers of Ahriman. Samael as the Angel of Poison is to the Luciferian as a symbol of self-mastery and using the world around us to grow in power and strength, always internal, sometimes external depending on the individual desire. Luciferians seek to devour the essence of life, the essence of humanity. All life is made stronger by devouring another, this is the law of nature. To be honest to the self, to present challenge and overcome such is to attain a foundation upon the path of mastery. Beelzebub is a name for Satan mentioned in the New Testament with regards to him holding the title of Prince of Demons. The name Beelzebub or Beelzebuth actually can be derived from Baal Zebub, Baal meaning “Lord” and Zebub which holds reference in Hebrew as “Hostility”, thus Baal Zebub is the “Lord of Hostility” or they enemy, a title of the Opposer. Dominus Muscarum is also a translation of the title of Beelzebub, meaning “Lord of Flies” and relates to the Adversary being in part a spirit of the Air. Baal-Zebub as the name of a God worshipped in the Philistine city of Ekron around 850 B.C. and was considered a controller of flies and perhaps plague. If the initiate of the Luciferian Path looks deep within the history of the Adversary, little of Christianity may be needed. The Adversary is no Christian creation, nor does it need the concept of “God” as so many have decried. In the West, all Gods and Demons have been transformed to suit whatever they need it for, such is known as a mild case of “Chaos Magick” and thus may be useful. The Luciferian knows the importance of discipline, if you build yourself in the image of the Adversary with the traits associated with, the Adept will truly be a God upon this earth. Lilith, known as the Queen of Demons, a bestial body with a sometimes beautiful appearance, was called “Mother of Ahriman” and is related to blood sucking vampiric demons and other night spirits. Lilith is one half of the Adversary is there were, is truly a Satanic or Luciferian source of self-mastery and strength. Lilith is said to howl at the head of 480 companies of demons, having sometimes appearance with a Chariot guided and backed by demonic spirits. Lilith is the fiery aspect of Ahriman or Samael and should be considered equal to the Fallen Angel. In ancient non-Zoroastrian writings, M.N. Dhalla makes reference to the early Hippolytus who wrote that there was a dualistic religion, the father being light and darkness being the mother. With this in consideration, Ahriman no doubt was a manifestation of the Androgynous primal dragon Tiamat, which Ahriman and Az emerged from later. In the ancient writings of Jacob and Isaac Hacohen of Segovia Castile, Samael and Lilith were born by an emanation beneath the Throne of Glory in the form of a double-faced androgynous angel, said to be in the form of the one above. Lilith has a long history and a background in all magical practices. She is the one who is of the Astral plane, of the air, and began all legends of vampiric acts committed at night. Lilith grows strong from the blood of humans, but also has been worshiped by rebels since Babylonian times. In the Qlippoth Lilith holds great power, “the femal of Samael is called Serpent, Woman of Harlotry, End of all Flesh, End of Days”. “The name of Baphomet is regarded by Traditional Satanists as meaning "the mistress (or mother) of blood" - the Mistress who sometimes washes in the blood of her foes and whose hands are thereby stained” – Order of Nine Angles In some modern Satanic orders, Lilith has appeared as both Babalon and even Baphomet. The Order of Nine Angles related Baphomet as the Bride of Satan. The dark feminine energies were recognized as a valid magical practice in certain texts, Azanigin being a name of the dark goddess and which such Satanic Magick was practiced. What is underlying is not what order practices what, rather that the demonic feminine or the fiery inspiration itself is central to initiatory development. My grimoires or Books of the Adversary, “Luciferian Witchcraft” and “Liber HVHI” deal exclusively with the dark feminine and masculine as equal forms of the Adversary and Luciferian practice, something which requires more discipline to work with in terms of initiation as it requires balance and the application of reason to achieve magical results. One may consider the demon of the void mentioned in John Dee’s diaries who is called Coronzom, known by modern Enochian and Thelemic students as Choronzon. This demon is considered a madness inspiring beast, causing fragmentation of the mind and the loss of mental vitality. Choronzon in the Black Temple rites of the Characith Lunar Lodge, from which the author was personally involved in the late 1990’s draw on the energies of Choronzon as a Vampire spirit, being something which may be encircled and used as a means of draining the energy or Chi of another through ritual sorcery. Some dogmatic magical practitioners consider Choronzon as a symbol of the false ego or will, which can be viewed by left hand path practitioners as residue of the Christianized West, where the self is encouraged to be lost and given to something else called “Godhead”. For some, Choronzon or Coronzom is the Dark Shadow of the Self, the very darkness which the Sorcerer may shape and form according to his or her desire. The Ahrimanic or Luciferian knows that the self is the only thing that is real, as it is the object experiencing all. You can know of sorcery because you create results in response to your actions, while balancing the spiritual and material. The Hebraic of Choronzon is ChVRVNVN and according to Kenneth Grant relates to 333, one half of 666 with the other being Shugal, the desert howler. As Coronzom is the original name written by Dee, this would add to 323 which represents the Qlippoth of Aquarius which in LIBER HVHI is represented as Behemiron, shadows and demonic fragments which the sorcerer may utilize to draw energy from.
