the Tree of Death and the Qliphoth

“fallen angels” (cf. Prophet) who “to earth from heaven came,” (cf. Von Daaniken, Sitchin) in “shems,” (cf. Knight, Lomas) “took to wives the daughters of men,” (cf.

Genesis) and bred the Nephilim, a race of “great men, men of renown.” (ibid) It is hypothesised by an increasing number of modern agnostic scholars that it was from this Grand Assembly that Abraham of Ur selected his patron deity, subsequently referred to as “elohim” (“my god”), which deity would eventually go on to be known variously as El Shaddai, Adonai, and YHVH. ii. Belia’al: Worthlessness As described above, the concept of beli yaal, a Hebrew idiom meaning “worthless,” came into demonology at least as early as the Essenes, and may have been, as Beliar, known to the Hebrew national consciousness for some period of time before this also.

Beliar has been attributed, due to a peculiar pun, the concept of the “father of lies,” however, as described in section II, 4, below, there are different interpretations for and applications of this terminological concept. Thus, the idea of the belia’al is comparable to that of Samael, who is known alternately as Samael the Black or Samael the Red, and of Lilith, who is known alternately as Lilith the elder and the younger.

In this particular context, that is, the Unholy Trinity, the presence of Belia’al most likely represents an attempt by post-Christian qabalists to integrate recently uncovered Essene material, which is only directly referenced in the Gospels, into a structure whereby to counterbalance the overwhelming force of Catholic dogma. iii. A’athiel: Uncertainty Uncertainty is only mentioned, as far as can be easily ascertained, twice in the bible.

As such, it is difficult to fathom how it has entered the lexicon of demonology. Unlike the majority of other demons and devils, most of whom are admittedly considered fallen angels, Uncertainty does not appear to have been, at any time, anything other than an adverse attribute. That is to say that, in addition to not being the title of a king, demigod or deity, it was not the name of any particular historical figure of note, nor that of any other form of exalted figurehead.

Thus, it does not appear to have any particularly relevant historical or Hebraic context. It appears that, as with the other attributes of the Unholy Trinity, however this one in particular, that this trait was included not from precedence of historical context or Hebraic origin, but from social commentary by a previous author on a contemporary sociopolitical situation. To this extent, we may make brief reference to Schroedinger’s Uncertainty Principle, the foundation of 20th century quantum mechanics, the study of the motions and characteristics of subatomic particles and waves. b. The Ten Orders of Demons According to Arthur Edward Waite, in The Holy Kabbalah, p. 257-8, each of the ten orders of hell is residence to a different order of demons, just as, according to traditional qabala, the various strata of heaven are home to the angelic hosts. Of course, in Hebrew theology the number of these heavens differs from the Christian conception, where there are several more, and the Muslim, in which there are fewer.

Waite, who owed much of his conception to Levi, the majority of whose works he had translated into english, considered only the Hebrew conception of the sefirotic heavenly orders when compiling his structure for the obverse attributes. To this extent, many of his findings are in keeping with those of Crowley (as adumbrated in section first Resh of Liber Ararita), and these, we may safely assume, both owe
