Researching demons for a thing I’ve been writing, like ya do, and wikipedia told me this
During the 16th century, it was believed that each demon had more strength to accomplish his mission during a special month of the year. In this way, he and his assistants’ powers would work better during that month.
The classification of demons by month seems to have astrological implications more than religious ones.
YOU MEAN THIS WHOLE TIME INSTEAD OF BEING LIKE “WHAT SIGN ARE YOU UNDER?” WE COULD HAVE BEEN ASKING “WHAT DEMON ARE YOU UNDER?”
UM WHY AREN’T WE DOING THAT?
Wait I’m Belphegor, who the fuck is that.
“In demonology, Belphegor (or Beelphegor, Hebrew: בַּעַל-פְּעוֹר baʿal-pəʿōr) is a demon, and one of the seven princes of Hell, who helps people make discoveries. He seduces people by suggesting to them ingenious inventions that will make them rich.”
Another fact: Ba’al comes from the name of a Mesopotamian God, and is also where we get Beelzulbub from. Also, the word Ba’al has actually been used by some to refer to God himself, since in some tribes, he was the main god. In others, he tried to take the main god’s place, but failed. What ultimately made him associated as a demon is his association with the Morning Star, the planet Venus
Mines the duke of hell and apparently seduces people with laziness?
