ANGELS AND DEMONS

 First of all, I must point out that the term "Angels" is used here not only to describe the Divine Angels themselves, but also to distinguish between those beings who represent good and those who represent evil. Please don't get frustrated while reading this article (I have a problem with this terminology myself, as for me, Angels are those "winged from Him"). However, the author of the source I'm using used these names, and to avoid disrupting the "order" of the lexicon, I will write them as they appear in the source text.

The first group of Angels are artificially created beings in the Astral, created through human beliefs. When used appropriately, they can bring many benefits during rituals, but such Angels are not ideal partners for collaboration, as their nature can be difficult to discern. Over time, some of them gained their own consciousness and became independent. Since I found this entity difficult to understand, I searched deeper and found a being that perfectly fits this description: Egregores.

Egregores, therefore, are the conscious or unconscious product of the emotions and thoughts of a group of people. The thoughts of one person materialize in the form of so-called thought-forms, and egregores are created based on the same principle—from the thoughts of many people. As for the perception of their nature, as you know, the thoughts and emotions that form are positive or negative, and the egregores themselves can be positive or negative. Similarly, ancient societies, such as Masonic lodges, revealed the names of increasingly powerful egregores during the initiation of their members to subsequent degrees of initiation. Their unique power, despite being animated concentrations of psycho-emotional energy, is the ability to live for centuries after the death of their creators. And here, the type of egregore we want to create is crucial. What's more, we must be aware that fear and other negative emotions are more powerful than love. Therefore, they can be both good and bad, and in my personal opinion, they can be a form of angels or a form of demons.

The second group of Angels are Helpers and Guardians, whom I wrote about in my earlier Lexicon. They often adapt to human beliefs (to provide greater psychological comfort), taking the form of Angels. Often, descriptions of Angels are actually descriptions of our Guardians – these beings radiate light and love, and possess knowledge inaccessible to ordinary humans.

The third group – the most important – is the True Angels.

These are true Angels, created by God, as they are classically described. Sometimes they act as Helpers, but extremely rarely and in exceptional cases. These are perfect beings, and to be so, they have never incarnated.

Angel - (Hebrew: malakh) – the word comes from angiras, which in Sanskrit means "spirit of God." Angel - (Greek: angelos – messenger, envoy, herald). Immaterial beings who, in Jewish and Christian traditions, are treated as intermediaries between God and humans.

Images of angels can be found in the oldest verses of the Old Testament. Angels participate in the realization of God's plans for humans.

Angels are spiritual beings who think, possess emotions, and will. This applies to both good and evil angels. They were created at the beginning of time. They do not have a material body and did not need time to grow or learn; they immediately possess all knowledge. They can assume material bodies, but they do not have gender.

Here are some of the most famous angels:

Gabriel – he oversees the mythical Garden of Eden; his name also means "Strength of God." The celestial body assigned to him is the Moon; he is the patron saint of humanity.

Raphael – his task is to control human souls; his name means "Healing God." The celestial body assigned to him is the Sun; he is the patron saint of the plant kingdom.

Michael – the Guardian of Israel; his name is a war cry: "Who is like God?!" He is often depicted in battle scenes, with a great dragon or serpent, which symbolizes Samuel (the Angel of Death, a demon). The celestial body assigned to him is Mercury; he is the patron saint of carnivores.

I intend to soon create a Lexicon of Angels in a separate topic, alphabetically, so be patient; there will be many more names there (many, many, many more...).

Demons.

Like Angels, they are divided into three categories.

The first are entities artificially created by human belief; they exist in the Astral Plane and can be truly powerful. This is where we can include the evil Egregores. Many of them possess self-awareness and considerable intelligence, which humans themselves have attributed to them. These types of Demons are often used in black magic rituals. A suitable Demon is forced to serve the mage. Naturally, nothing comes for free (but more on that another time, I hope).

Demons can also be created for personal use, as is the case with Chaos Magic. This is also a much safer solution, as it is our Creation carefully thought out from start to finish (if we can even talk about safety here).

The second form of Demons ,Or perhaps evil beings, created by committing evil over many incarnations, until they finally hid themselves in the immaterial world for good, and from there they play their dirty games. Evil has always existed, exists, and will always exist. These beings should be avoided, as they deceive humans by rejoicing in their defeat. Don't panic immediately, because evil, as a kind of weakness, can be defeated, although a lot can happen beforehand, and these beings can cause quite a stir.

Finally, we come to the third, and in my opinion, most important group – Fallen Angels.

These are beings who, desiring to experience "pleasure," immersed themselves in matter. God didn't banish them from paradise; it was their free choice to "have fun" by incarnating and reincarnating as humans (though some simply migrated to another location in the Astral). The end result was the corruption of such perfect beings as the original Angels, through the low emotions (energies) that so often prevail in the material world. Some have supposedly fallen so low that they refuse to incarnate for fear of repaying their debts in the next incarnation. Others, however, are forced to incarnate specifically to "cleanse themselves of the mud." Thanks to this lesson and experience, they have become more conscious and valuable.

Unfortunately, many Fallen Angels have become the complete opposite of divinity. Here are some of the Fallen Angels (according to myths):

Satan – the first of the Fallen Angels, he drew other Angels into rebellion with him and is identified with Lucifer.

Lucifer – his name means "bringer of light," one of the first rebels in Heaven.

Beelzebub – a close acquaintance of Lucifer and also one of the first rebels .

Leviathan – the last of the three who initiated the rebellion, primarily inciting people to rebel against God.

Abadon – one of the most powerful, a Demon of destruction but also an advisor

. These are just a few examples; there are many more Demon names. I also plan to create a Demon Lexicon in alphabetical order, but that's for another time.

Demons are often used in black magic ceremonies and in Demonology. Any contact with Demons has fatal consequences, and they are a type of being that should not be messed with at all.

Apart from such demons, there are also demons from various religions. In Slavic beliefs, the most common types of demons are: rusalki, miedzinki, nocturnal, strigi, drowned, kites, płanetnicy, ubożęta, and gnomes, as well as the so-called bobo. But that's a topic for a separate thread.
