I See You...

"Chernobog “The Black God” of Old Slavic tribes is the lord of slaughter, war, unjust order, oppression, and hardship, but who was also associated with mysteries and secrets. The Warring Gods of Ancient Slavs, Belobog “the White God”, and Chernobog, “the Black God” were misrepresented in later lore as the battle between God and Satan, Good and Evil, but the surviving Pagan lore doesn’t support this - they are simply forces of Nature, ambivalent and impartial."

- Hail the Great Prince Stolas

I ask not cus I'm fearful but cus I'm genuinely curious about what others have to say about this great prince.

There's theories that he was trying to save humanity from god, considering how God tends to act towards people in the bible. And with god being him and his followers being how they are, of course they'd make the narrative that he'd be horrible and if you don't follow them you're going to a place of torment forever with Lucifer in charge of it all, so don't believe anything he or others say against them, because they're evil and want to lead you astray!

FOR NAILING, OR TO NAIL AN ENEMY FROM THE GRIMORIUM VERUM

GO to a cemetery, remove a nail from an old coffin, saying: “Nails, I take you, so that you may serve to turn aside and cause evil to all persons whom I will. “In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.” When you wish to use it, you must look for a footprint and making the three figures of GULAND, SURGAT and MORAIL, fix the nail in the middle saying: “Pater noster up to in terra.” (“Our father who art on earth.”) Hit the nail with a stone, saying: “Curse evil to N . . ., until I remove thee.” Re-cover the place with a little dust, and remember it well, because one cannot remove the evil which this causes, but by removing the nail, and saying: “I remove thee, so that the evil which thou has caused to N., shall cease. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son. and the Holy Spirit. Amen.” Then take the nail out and efface the characters: not with the same hand as you make them, but with the other. Thus, it will be without danger.

[It is unlikely that any one of us could obtain “nails taken from a coffin.” First because most coffins are not made with nails currently, and second, because it would be a highly criminal act to dig up a grave. In many old spells, items from a graveyard, or graveyard dirt are employed. This was because it was felt that anything from the cemetery, such as dirt, was imbued with the power of the dead. One way to get “coffin nails” in the modern day might be to buy nails from a carpentry supply store and visit a cemetery with them. Take the time to drive the nails into the ground and let them stay there for a few minutes. In this way they can absorb some of 24 the power of the dead. This spell invokes the demons Morail, Guland, and Surgat. Here are their sigils:]

Angra Mainyu (angry mind, the Persian Devil)

Ahriman, also called Aingra Mainyu, meaning “angry mind” is the devil of Zoroastrianism. He is the main adversary of Ahura Mazda, or of the holy creative spirit, Spenta Mainyu.

Zoroaster may have been the one who originally came up with the concept of Angra Mainyu. In Yasna 30.3, the opposing force is “aka mainyu,” Meaning evil mind. This expression of an evil mind, or evil thought was applied to not only Ahriman, but also the daevas or demons within his realm. It was also applied to the human condition.

This relates to the Microcosm and Macrocosm described by the Hermetic philosophers, “As above so below.” The forces within the cosmos are reflected in the human personality like a mirror.

In later Zoroastrianism, the daevas are evil demons, but in the time of Zoroaster, they were described as “wrong gods,” or “false gods.” They were gods to be rejected, yes, but still gods which had a following at the time. This is made clear by the fact that we find Indra, and Rudra, both Hindu gods, among the archdevils of Zoroastrianism.

These daevas, or “false gods” are described as being born of evil thinking. The "deceiver," not identified in the holy text, but probably Angra Mainyu, convinced the daevas to choose "worst thinking." Compare this with the Christian idea of Satan leading a rebellion of angels.

The hell of the wicked is the dwelling place of Angra Mainyu, and "worst thinking." The place of the wicked might be compared to the Christian Hell, the kingdom of Satan and the angels who follow him.

The Vendidad is a part of the Avesta. The name of the texts, a contraction of “Vi Daevo Data” meaning “given against the Daevas,” is a detailing of various demons, and ways to fight back against their attacks. Once again, the daevas are the “false gods” or “wrong gods described by Zoroaster. Aeshma daeva, the daeva of wrath, who would later become known as Asmodeus.

Angra Mainyu, and Spenta Mainyu battle for divine glory. In some verses of the Yasna, these two principles are said to have created the world, which seems to contradict the Gathas, the holy writings of Zoroaster, which declare Ahura Mazda to be the creator.

On the other hand, historical information is simply history. It is what it is and cant be changed. Historical information is something that we can all agree with, because we can point to the various religious texts and see what our ancestors thought of this or that. Our ancestors may not always be right, we may not always agree with their opinions, but its still important to know the historical information as a foundation for the work. These two pictures are scans of an actual copy of the Grand Grimoire, found in a digital Library. He we can see that Belzebuth is considered a chief ruling spirit, along with Lucifer and Astaroth. Further down the chain of command we can see the spirit Bael along with a lot of other spirits found in the Goetia.

The reason why I am pointing this out is to show that the old grimoires did not consider the demon Bael and Belzebuth to be the same. Belzebuth was a higher ruling demon, and Bael was a lower ranking demon, at least according to the Grand Grimoire, which first appeared in 1750. And while unverified personal gnosis is fine, and important for personal growth, its also important to know the historical aspects of the tradition. "Belzebuth came from Mars, he is in my dna," "hits bong" ok bro, I got it, here is what we know about belzebuth historically speaking.
