This is the Christian demons and demonology Iceberg subscribers of mine might recognize that I've done this video before but this is not a reupload but a remaster the original video was the first video that I ever did for YouTube and was more interested in finishing it rather than it actually being good so I decided to redo the whole thing with better audio visuals and information like before it will go From most well-known and biblical to the least well-known I've added various topics throughout the iceberg to make it interesting time stamps for all of the tiers
will be in the description like before this is a long one so you may want to sit back relax and let's get into it starting off with tier one we have the most mainstream and well known topics as it pertains to demons and demonology within the Bible as well as mainstream popular culture starting off This tier we have Satan or the Devil Himself the word Satan or satans comes from the Hebrew word chitan meaning the adversary and is usually used as a title for adversaries of the god of the Hebrew Bible the singular Satan only
appears a few times in the Bible itself when most people think of Satan they are probably thinking of the character Lucifer who is a Satan but any entity natural or Supernatural that opposes God can also be called a Satan this also applies for Another title of Lucifer the devil in the New Testament The Entity who according to Matthew chapter 4 tempts Jesus for 40 days is most often translated into English as the devil the new testament which was originally written in Greek gives the name diabo which was translated to the devil diu was likely meant
to be a Greek equivalent to shaitan at least that's what many believe and that was just simply a title that was adapted over the Years for that same entity as for Satan's iconic appearance you've lightly come across the infamous red imp with the bat swings horns pointy tail goats Hooves and Pitchfork it's believed that this version of the Devil is a cultural amimation of the Jews early cultural rals that came about sometime during the Middle Ages for example the goat's legs and Hooves likely allude to the Greek god pan or the saer of Greek mythology
ology the horns are likely to have come From the various bull Idols referenced in the Old Testament which we'll talk about later in the iceberg the wings are beli to have actually come from The Book of Revelation at the end of the Bible where one of the beasts described in the book is believed to be the devil who is described looking like a dragon next up we have Lucifer the name Lucifer comes from Isaiah 14:12 in this verse the narrator is taunting a defeated King by telling him quote how art thou fallen From Heaven oh
Lucifer son of the morning how art out cut down to the ground which did a weaken the Nations according to many biblical Scholars and theologians there's the belief that instead of the narrator taunting the king himself is instead taunting a force that is controlling the king in this case the adversary in the original Hebrew text the word that was translated as Lucifer comes from the word Halal or the Morning Star which is a reference to The planet Venus in 1611 the translators of the King James version of the Bible interpreted the Latin lightbearer as a
proper name and from here we get get the name Lucifer the term morning star or Lucifer would appear several more times throughout the Bible in different contexts but the most popular interpretation of Lucifer comes from Milton's Paradise Lost written in 1667 which we'll talk about later in the iceberg Satanism luciferianism Satanism And luciferianism are deeply complex topics that I'm going to try and simplify as best as I can so please don't take my word for it and do any research for yourself before drawing in conclusion on these ideals with that being said I generally break
down Satanism into five separate types atheistic or Lan Satanism theistic Satanism luciferianism occult Satanism and pop culture Satanism let's talk about each of these really quick the first of which is atheistic or Lan Satanism in 1966 a man by the name of Anton L who is reportedly a staunch atheist and anti-theist established the Church of Satan he essentially took Catholicism stripped it of the theism and repackaged it inverting it into a mockery so instead of a big flowing white robe he would have a black robe and so on L also took several occult Pagan and
Wiccan symbols And iconography to use as well to that end it was a Church of Satan that appropriated the pentagram which had originally been a pagan symbol which was then taken to represent the wounds of Christ his hands feet and head and flipped upside down to represent the sabotic goat and baat another demon I'll talk about later in the iceberg as one of their symbols alongside the upside down cross which was also allegedly originally a Symbol of St Peter who requested to be crucified upside down because he didn't feel right dying in the same way
Christ had the use of all of these more esoteric symbols led many to believe that LE might have actually been an occultist rather than an atheist this would eventually lead to a splinter group called The Temple of set to form but that's his topic for a bit later because of the prominence of the Church of Satan most sources refer to this type Of Satanism as Lan Satanism and its adherence as LAN satanists this causes problems because there now exist several offshoots of atheistic Satanism and a lot of sources refer to them as Lan satanists which
isn't entirely accurate as they are not members of the Church of Satan this was a mistake I made during the original Iceberg video that I wanted to correct here one of the main issues in modern-day atheistic Satanism is that Anton Le himself isn't the most Well-liked individual among people who call themselves Satanist today and this is for a variety of reasons the most well-known of the atheistic offshoots of Lan Satanism is the satanic temple is a separate entity to the Church of Satan even though they use mostly the same iconography and and hold many of
the same beliefs the satanic temple mostly pulls off political stunts for the purpose of denigrating the power of the church in the United States the next Type of Satanism is theistic Satanism and there are generally two versions of theistic Satanism the first are the people who genuinely believe in the Christian idea of God being good and Satan being bad and follow the Christian Satan anyway for whatever reason this particular version of Satanism hasn't had any real significant following so it's hard to say how many people actually worship the Christian idea of Satan the second type
of theistic satanists worship a deity or entity known as Satan these satanists don't follow the Christian worldview don't believe in God or use the Bible in this version of Satanism Satan is not the version of Christianity or opposed to God the physical archetype or some kind of esoteric correspondence but instead a God that just so happens have the name Satan the largest theistic Satanist denomination uses Satan from the Sanskrit word meaning Satan which is meant to be a declaration of the word truth in this version Satan is a teacher a model friend Etc who is
meant to stand against blind Dogma encourage personal freedom and create life for oneself on their own terms functionally they're a niche Pagan group that just so happens to have a God who has a very unfortunate name the next group are luciferians so luciferians generally also come in two types one group which adopts the Gnostic View that God is evil and we'll talk about gnosticism way later in the iceberg these luciferians which are also sometimes referred to as serpent worshippers believe that Lucifer or Satan is a misunderstood hero who saved Humanity from the ignorance of an
evil God either they believe this in a literal sense or in a more symbolic sense these luciferians are also usually referred to as satanists and often identify as satanists in either case They reinterpret the role of Satan or Lucifer in the biblical story the other group of luciferians believe that Lucifer as the Morning Star means Venus basically a Venus Pagan religion what this means is they follow the god or archetype of Venus usually Prometheus or anky from Sumerian mythology the idea is that the deity of Venus is the Liberator like Prometheus stealing fire for man
the general idea is that Lucifer was a God that the Jews and Christians stole And demonized so this group of luciferians reject the validity of the Christian Bible entirely rather than opposing it or worshiping its villain again making it more a pagan or new age group rather than a satanic one the fourth type of Satanism is occult Satanism and occult Satanism covers a wide range of various beliefs so I'll try to simplify basically in Western occultism a lot of names and symbols are directly lifted from Christianity and Judaism this is a problem for people who
want to become a genuine occultist and explore mystery religions in general but have an issue with Christianity or Judaism for whatever reason because of this these satanic groups hold a lot of the same practices and belief systems of these esoteric Christian groups but use different symbols in their place because they're generally antagonistic towards Christianity and Judaism they usually use the symbols that are directly Opposed to the characters in Christianity and Judaism in this case Satan and his various demons as opposed to God and His various Angels I'm painting this with a broad brush and there's
a lot of nuance when it comes comes to this and honestly the tip of an iceberg that could be its own video here are some of the reasons why these various groups don't like Christianity in Judaism there's the people who follow the Gnostic view that God is evil or That specifically the god of the Old Testament is evil and then there are also people who just don't like Jews for various reasons and I won't get into those here there's also a small group that follow the concept of clipo or the tree of death but we'll
talk about that way later in the iceberg but that's just a general overview and just barely scratching the surface of the many many occult satanic groups with varying beliefs too many to talk about for this Video alone and finally we have pop culture Satanism the most well-known but also least understood version of Satanism so pop culture Satanism takes elements from all of the different satanic groups that I just described puts them in a blender with Protestant and Catholic propaganda from The Witch Trials as well as various movies and television shows and we get pop culture
Satanism and it's this version of Satanism that most people think of when They think of Satanism what exactly its beliefs are vary personto person and what they think is actually true or not for the most part when most people think of Satanism or demonology they rarely ever draw from any actual historical or biblical sources the Demons of the Divine Comedy also known as Dante's Inferno this work was completed by Italian poet Dante in 1321 it alongside Paradise Lost which we'll talk about in a moment inform a Lot of what people think when it comes to
to heaven in hell and demons it should be noted though that neither of these texts claim to be valid in any way and are simply fictitious stories nevertheless it heavily informs on how people view demons Heaven and Hell the most notable demons to appear in this story are the malab branch a group of demons who guard the eighth circle of hell in the story they're responsible for the punishment of corrupt Politicians by holding them under a boiling Lake of pitch Lucifer also appears as a giant monster Frozen in the bottom of of hell this reflects
the Contemporary view of the time that Lucifer was another prisoner of Hell rather than its ruler which would ultimately change with the work Paradise Lost speaking of which the Demons of Paradise Lost this work was completed by Milton and published in 1667 as I just mentioned this work along With a Divine Comedy in form of what a lot of people think of when it comes to Heaven hell and demons Paradise Lost is responsible for popularizing the idea that Satan is the Fallen Angel Lucifer as well as the idea that Satan is the ruler of Hell
rather than its prisoner which had been the mainstream view prior C Dante's Inferno while Lucifer or Satan takes the main stage as the protagonist of the story Paradise Lost also lists several demons as well as Gods from Other religions as fallen angels in this work those demons listed are be elub Mammon bile molok shamash Bal aarte asteroth tamuz deeon rimen Osiris Isis orus Saturn Ray Jo muler aasil arok Ramel and nrock the Unholy Trinity a lot of texts use Satan and be's above interchangeably both being referred to as the chief of the demons in the
Bible apocryphal works and gmars the Unholy Trinity is a concept that was Popularized by John Milton's Paradise Lost again we'll talk about that later this Unholy Trinity consists of Beelzebub Lucifer and asteroth the idea is that demons have a pervasion of the Trinity where Lucifer Beelzebub and asteroth all make up the concept of the Satan or adversary to God while being separate co-equal entities themselves in a similar way to how the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit make up the Divine Trinity and with that let's move on to Tier two tier two here we're
going to look at most of the demons that appear throughout the Bible starting with ball or beel abub and his siblings ball or Baal was the Canaanite word for Lord or God in the land of Canaan each area had their own Gods the balls were male and the female deities were known as asteroth we'll talk about in a little bit the name ball or Bal is usually associated with the bull Idol but the title ball also appears to apply to Multiple entities when the Israelites ultimately subsumed the Canaanites the various gods were recast as the
Demons of the Old Testament the most well-known of the bals was B Hadad or Lord of Thunder his title Prince Bal is mocked in the book of Kings where he's referred to as bbub or Lord of the Flies this would give rise to the name be alub Bal as be elub also appears in many middle-aged gmars and there's also another demon named Bale who appears in The Lesser key of Solomon which we'll talk about in depth later on anyway as I just mentioned ball abub in Kings is where he's described as a false god worshiped
by the Philistine people at the city of echam later in the New Testament Matthew 12:24 he's given the distinction as chief of the Demons so the confusion as to which demon is in charge dates back to the Bible whether it's Satan or beab and the Bible doesn't really give much in terms of answers so We have to look to non-biblical sources on that in the Testament of Solomon an apocryphal work which we'll talk about later in the iceberg he claims to be the first of the Angels created and can only be bound by the name
of God himself another ball ball pure appears in numbers in Deuteronomy ball pure was a moabit God who was demonized as the demon bagore this demon is often associated with Sloth according to a manuscript Titled Lantern of light bagore was kicked out of heaven by God not because he rebelled with Lucifer but because he was so lazy that when Lucifer rebelled he simply laid back and watched as the battle between good and evil was happening there are various other balls that appear in Canaanite mythology which weren't referenced in any biblical texts but we can assume
that as far as the abrahamic religions are concerned they would count as demons as well Molok molok was originally thought to be a Canaanite deity the name molok itself might actually come from the Punic root word Molech meaning to sacrifice in 2 Kings passage 23:10 the passage describes how children were sacrificed to molok by being cast into flames the appearance of the bull might also be a misattribution of Bal it's also possible that molok was just simply another bull Idol that was worshiped around the same time as B the strongest piece of Evidence that we
have that Mok was meant to be a separate entity is that he's referenced in the apocryphal work The Testament of Solomon is one of the demons that Solomon pays tributes to which ultimately causes his downfall in more recent years molok has become heavily Associated as the patron deity of many of the political Elite in the United States this ref refers to a specific event in the year 2000 where a certain journalist that YouTube doesn't Like people to mention snuck into a location that YouTube doesn't like people to mention to record an event that YouTube doesn't
like people to mention several notable people including multiple famous Millionaires and billionaires along with then President George W bush were recorded performing an Ault ritual in which they burned an effigy that appears like a child in front of a statue of a giant owl the unnamed journalists labeled this as Being very similar to the rituals that were performed by the ancient Canaanites in which they ritualistically sacrificed children to their gods namely molok ever since then molok has been heavily associated with the political Elite in the United States I'd love to go more in depth on
this topic but unfortunately YouTube is no fun so I have to move on ail and theim ail appears in Leviticus 16 and is named in connection With the scapegoat as part of the ritual that would eventually become yam Kapur in the passage two goats are chosen for sacrifice one was killed for God and the other was kept alive and after the people confess their sins onto it release it into the desert modern Bibles translate the name a zazil as the scapegoat zazil is said to be the chief of the Sim or the goat demons that
greet one another in the ruins of Edam which are basically the sa here from Greek Mythology in Leviticus 168 he said to be haunting the same wild waste Paces as these goat demons themselves there's some evidence to suggest that some of the primitive Semitic tribes offered sacrifices to the Sim before the coming of ancient Judaism the Old Testament states that the Jobo anointed priest for the sodium but Josiah ultimately destroyed their places of worship the name a zazil also appears as one of the Watcher angels in the Book of Enoch and We'll talk about their
connection later in the iceberg Leviathan so the Leviathan isn't explicitly named as a demon but instead a mythical sea creature mentioned in the bible it's described as an enormous powerful Beast with scales that could not be pierced by any weapon the Leviathan appears in several books of the Old Testament including job Psalms and Isaiah in each instance it symbolizes chaos or destruction however Its exact nature remains ambiguous throughout the Biblical scripture when looking to the ocal works specifically The Book of Enoch it describes Leviathan as a gigantic female monster dwelling in the watery Abyss at
the end of the Bible in Revelation it said that the Leviathan will fight the great Behemoth of the desert before God kills them both in certain Grims the Leviathan is associated with the deadly sin of Envy Behemoth Behemoth is also not explicitly named as a demon but instead a great Beast described in chapter 40 of the Book of Job a terrible power that walks the land it's also described as a gigantic herbivore that eats grass as an ox in the apocryphal Book of Enoch the Behemoth is described as an unconquerable male land monster living in
an invisible desert east of the Garden of Eden and as I just mentioned in the Book of Revelation the Behemoth Is said to fight with the great Leviathan of the sea before God kills them both B the name b is derived from the Hebrew word for worthless the name appears many times throughout the Bible usually in conjunction with a group of people like the sons of B in 2 Corinthians bile is depicted in direct opposition to Christ because of the way this name is treated in the Bible it's been debated whether This was meant to
be a proper name at all but an entity known as B appears and many apocryphal works as well as the Lesser key of Solomon which I'll talk about later in the iceberg Deon deeon was thought to be a Canaanite deity worshiped by the Philistines in 1 Samuel it tells of how the Ark of the Covenant was captured by the Philistines and taken and taken to deon's Temple in Ashdod the following morning the asites find the image of Deon lying knocked over before the ark as if it was praying before it they set this image upright
but again the next morning they find that it's been knocked over again again this time with its head and hands severed deeon is usually depicted as a man with the lower half of a fish but this depiction is actually a matter of debate the Semitic roote for the word dag means cereal or corn and there's no Evidence that Deon was worshiped in any coastal areas at all most modern depictions of deeon come from his depiction in HP Lovecraft story of the same name asteroth the name asteroth shows up in the Book of Judges and the
first book of Samuel and is referred to as the asteroth like the bals which is also a general term for the foreign gods to the Israelites the term asteroth is derived from the Semitic goddess aarte a goddess Who appears in ugaritic Phoenician and Acadian sources she is also a different name or associated with the Egyptian goddess Isis she like other gods was demonized by the early Jews something interesting is that due to a loss in Translation asteroth is usually given male gender pronouns so since she was so highly revered as a goddess she's usually given
a high rank amongst the Demons of Hell in the various grimoire she appears in again usually listing her As a male most notably she's one of the 72 Demons of the Lesser key of Solomon which I'll talk about later in the iceberg and with that let's move on to tier three tier three demons exercised by Jesus throughout the New Testament one of the many miracles performed by Jesus is his Exorcism of demons there's a lot so I'm only going to cover the most notable ones here the exorcism at the synagogue in keram in this instance
Jesus exercis an Evil spirit who cries out what do you want with us Jesus of Nazareth have you come to destroy us I know who you are the Holy One of God the next exorcism also known as the miracle of the swine Jesus exercises a possessed man when Jesus asked this Demon's name the demon simply replies Legion in response with for we we are many when the demon asks to be expelled into a nearby group of pigs rather than be sent out into the area Jesus obliges But the pigs then run into a lake and
drown one of the more well-known examples of Jesus exercising demons is when he exercises a demon from a blind and mute man ultimately curing him of his blindness and muteness another one is when he exercised a demon from a young boy a boy possessed by a demon is brought forward to Jesus the boy is said to a foam at the mouth nashed his teeth become rigid and involuntarily fallen into both water And fire Jesus's followers could not expel this demon and Jesus condemns the people as unbelieving but when the father of the boy questions if
Jesus could heal the boy Jesus simply replies everything is possible for those that believe the father then says that he believes and Jesus is able to heal the child there's plenty other references of Jesus exercising demons but I wanted to cover the most wellknown here so let's move on Adik adik was originally a a Samaritan sun god who's briefly mentioned in the book of Kings he also appears in many middle-aged grimoire but for the most part Falls was one of the more obscure demons that just so happens to be named in the Bible Lilith the
name Lilith originates from the Sumerian lelin or lelu a group of demons that live in deserts and wastelands and were associated with Owls according to the mythology they would attack sleeping men at night and kill them and in many ways of the Prototype of the succubus it may also be the oldest reference to what we know as sleep paralysis demons the only reference to Lilith in the Bible comes from Isaiah the original Hebrew used there uses the word lilu as one of the creatures described in the passage in the King James version of the Bible
in most Bibles since then it's Simply translated as screech owl her later lore as the first wife of Adam comes from Jewish Apocrypha lore in the Middle Ages in this version Lilith was the first wife of Adam who was kicked out of the garden of Eden because she would not submit to him and ultimately becomes a demon as a result of it from here her lore changes depending on which source you're reading in some versions she becomes Queen of the demons and marry Satan or be El abub In other versions she becomes very spiteful and
attacks women and children and in some versions she's seen as a sympathetic character almost the good guy in any case the early Jews did fear her numerous protective amulets have survived from Biblical times these amulets were used as a means of protecting ing women and children from her MOG MOG is referenced in Ezekiel 3839 where men are urged to quote set thy Face against Gog in the land of mog it isn't clear whether MOG is actually meant to be more of a name or more of a metaphorical in the Biblical context and it isn't really
until you get to Grims that Magog is actually referenced as a physical demon magicians of the Bible this refers to the multip mulle cases of people who use magic in the Bible but are not Christian or of the Jewish god this contradicts several Denominations views that Pagan or occult rituals have no power however that's a relatively small minority and most Christians believe that if under demonic influence then someone can be granted magic power some examples of magicians who do this are the pharaoh's Mages who turned their stabs into snakes during their Magic Duel with Moses
and his brother Aaron it's also possible that the witch of Endor another example of this she consulted with Saul king of Israel at the time to summon the spirit of the prophet Samuel a form of necromancy which according to most Christians could not be possible without the aid of some kind of demonic influence or with the permission of God Mamon the word Mammon was originally an Aramaic word for riches the name is also referenced in the New Testament in Matthew and Luke in which they say you can't serve both God and riches or Earthly desires
it isn't until the Christian Bishop Gregory of NASA identified Mammon with be elub thus the name became associated with demons in grimo Mars Mammon is associated with a deadly sin of greed or avarice and the last part on tier one we have the Antichrist and the red heer prophecy so according to the New Testament the Antichrist is an entity who will claim to be God himself and will bring about the end of the world who or what the Antichrist will be is a Hotly debated topic among people but what is the red hepher this is
going to require a bit of an explanation the red heer has a significant role in abrahamic religions specifically Judaism the prophecy has to deal with a third reconstruction of the temple in Jerusalem the prophecy is that once a pure red heer has been found it will be sacrificed at the Temple Mount which will begin the Reconstruction of the temple according to the Jews that Follow this prophecy namely the temple Institute this heer must be a coat of a single color not even two hairs can be white or black or any other color it has to
all be red this cow cannot have done any work you can't put a rope on it you can't lead it around you can't feed it anything that's not Kosher and it can't have any Brands marks spots any physical signs of illness it can't do any work can't be yolked can't blow a wagging Can't do anything it has to just sit in a pasture its entire life until the third year of its life where it will be sacrificed in a specific manner it is to be burned to Ash and that Ash is to be mixed with
water from a particular spring in Israel which is heavily guarded and then this Ash and water mixture alone is used to anoint people that are entering the temple area the Jews that are going there to anoint the ground to make it pure and holy Allow for the rebuilding of this Temple the Jewish prophecies predict that when the 10th heer is offered that will correspond with the rebuilding of the temple and the coming of the Jewish Messiah and that's where the problems begin as far as most Christians are concerned the rebuilding of the Third Temple will
only be done at the end of days as described in the Book of Revelation and the one rebuilding that Temple will be none other than the Antichrist the false Messiah and while Islam doesn't have any Antichrist figure they have an analogous figure called the deal another false Messiah so from the perspectives of the Christians and Muslims the temple Institute is trying to bring about the end of the world and the rise of the Antichrist every few years The Institute identifies several potential candidates for this final sacrifice the most recent being just a few months ago
before the recording of This video and with that let's move on to tier four tier four as modius asmodus is an interesting demon asmodus is interesting as he makes several appearances across multiple apocryphal texts and almost all of them seem to reference each other making him one of the most well documented of demons as modus makes his first appearance in the apocryphal book of tobat sometimes called the book of Tobias in this story The Demon is lustful over a woman named Sarah he wanted her for himself and wouldn't allow her to be with any man
each time Sarah was married her husband would mysteriously die the author of this story Tobias also falls in love with Sarah however being fearful that he too might mysteriously die asks God for help God sends the angel Raphael who tells him how to deal with this demon Raphael tells Tobias that the burnt heart and Liver of of fish that he can catch will drive out demons Tobias does this drives away the demon as modius and Mar Sarah as modius flees to Egypt where he's eventually caught and bound by Raphael as modius also appears in The
Testament of Solomon another apocryphal work that I'll talk about later in the iceberg in which he along with many other demons are bound by King Solomon using a magic ring and are forced to build the temple of God of course that's the Christian Version of the story there's also a Jewish version of the story that comes from the Babylonian talet in that one Solomon binds as modius in Chains but as modius manages to break free and the two as modius and Solomon fly into the sky and have a Magic Duel regardless in both apocryphal Christian
sources as well as Jewish sources both reference the fact that Solomon used the power of demons to construct the Temple we'll talk more about the building of that temple in The Testament of Solomon later in this Iceberg next up the Watcher angel The Watcher Angels refer to a group of fallen angels that take center stage in the apocryphal Book of Enoch specifically the book of the Watchers for the most part The Book of Enoch is excluded from Christian biblical cannons only one Christian sect the Ethiopian Orthodox Church actually holds it as biblical Canon while the
rest look at it as something apocryphal it should be Noted however that many many early Christian sects considered at least a version of The Book of Enoch to be Canon and the Book of Enoch is also directly referenced in the Bible in the New Testament Enoch himself is one of the two people in the Bible that doesn't physically die instead he is brought straight into heaven but for this video we're interested in the group of fallen angels known as the Watchers the Watchers themselves were a group of Angels who were dispatched to Earth to watch
over Humanity But ultimately decided to go against God's Will and took humans as wives going directly against God's wishes seeing as how Angels wouldn't need to reproduce for context the book of the Watchers is supposed to take place after the story of Cain and Abel but before the flooding of the Earth in Noah the Watchers Rebellion ultimately ends up to the flooding of the Earth in the story of Noah during their time on Earth the Watchers taught humans various forbidden knowledges while there were 200 in total some of the more important ones are a zazil
who taught humans to make knives swords Shields and also how to devise ornaments and cosmetics basically riches griel who taught the art of Cosmetics the use of weapons and killing blows and samyaza who is the initial leader of the watch and the first one to convince them to go Against God in the story aasil teaching humans about weapons and wealth basically leads to a pseudo War within Humanity meanwhile the sons of the Watchers the Nephilim start eating people more on that in a second basically at this point everything is going horrible on Earth The Book
of Enoch lists four archangels Raphael Gabriel Michael and Uriel who pleaded God to do something about what's happening on Earth God is already aware of what's happening and isn't happy about it he gives each of the four archangels a job in dealing with the whole Watcher situation he sends Uriel to tell Noah to build the ark Gabriel to deal with the Nephilim Michael to deal with the Watchers and Raphael to deal with a zazil specifically an interesting note is that the angel a zazil was punished by the Archangel Raphael by binding him ENT trapping him
in a desert until Judgment Day an interesting note that the angel a zazil was punished by the AR Angel rapael by binding him and trapping him in a desert until Judgment Day remember how I mentioned the demon of zazil early in the iceberg who was the scapegoat and leader of the goat demons who was also just so happened to be trapped in a desert it's often thought that this is meant to be a direct connection from The Book of Enoch to that story in the Bible after Gabriel and Michael end up dealing With the Nephilim
and the rest of the Watchers respectively God floods the Earth for 40 days and 40 nights leading into the story of Noah speaking of which the Nephilim the Nephilim were the Children of The Watcher angels and their human Brides In Enoch they're described as Giants which are incredibly destructive at first they eat all of Humanity's livestock and when that was done they start eating people when Gabriel is sent to go fight the Nephilim the text heavily implies that he uses the power of God to drive them insane and they end up destroying each other but
because they're half angel and therefore half Immortal they aren't completely gone while their physical bodies are dead their Spirits in an ethereal form are still around Gabriel asks God what he should do about this but God tells Gabriel to go ahead and allow the spirits of these Nephilim to wander the Earth as a punishment for Humanity this was likely meant to explain why Concepts like greed and War would still be around despite the fact that God killed everyone on earth except Noah's family and no and his family never engaged in any of the Watcher Shenanigans
which is why they were chosen to live there's also the idea that the Nephilim are in fact demons that after their physical bodies had been destroyed their Spirits continue to wander the Earth and become most of the Demons that we know about today there's two apocryphal sources that back this up The Testament of Solomon which is coming up later in the iceberg and the Book of jubilees which I'll go into now mastema ruler of the Nephilim this refers to an entity appearing in the book of jubilees known as mastema the exact nature of mastema isn't
known it's debated whether he was a random Angel one of the Watcher Angels or even one of the Nephilim it's also debated if Mema is even a name or a Title for him the book of jubilees like The Book of Enoch is an apocryphal work that expands on the early stories in Genesis namely the events before Moses like Cain and Abel and the flood most notably it like The Book of Enoch talks about a group of Fallen Angels who mate with humans creating their offspring the Nephilim the book of jubilees adds one major element to
the story of the Nephilim that being after Gabriel kills a Nephilim and their Spirits are still Around on Earth God initially decides to get rid of them but in called mastema begs God to allow him to retain control of one/ tenth of these Spirits in order to exercise his authority because they are as he says intended to corrupt and Lead astray before my judgment because the evil of the sons of men is great God decides to allow this mastema to do so God allows mastema to rule over these Spirits as a test for Humanity here
it's pretty much stated out right that many of the Demons were in fact the spirits of the Nephilim led by this entity known as mastema mastema also later appears during the story of Moses in Egypt specifically entering Pharaoh's heart after God hardens it helping Pharaoh's Mages in their Magic Duel and later encouraging the Egyptians to chase after the Israelites it's implied that when The Red Sea comes crashing back down mastema becomes trapped this little detail will become very important later on for now let's go ahead and move on to the next next Topic in the
iceberg the Demons of The Testament of Solomon I've mentioned this work several times throughout the iceberg but the Testament of Solomon serves as the backbone for what would be known as solomonic magic which is the idea of summoning and binding demons to your will according to The text it was written by King Solomon himself and is written from Solomon's perspective for those of you who don't know King Solomon is a Biblical figure and the son of David as in David and Goliath David during his reign as the king of Jerusalem he was most well known
for constructing the first temple and as I mentioned earlier in the iceberg multiple different sources claim that Solomon used magic and demons in order to construct this first Temple in the Jewish tradition from the Babylonian talmud Solomon only uses a few demons whereas in this Christian apocryphal Testament of Solomon Solomon summons several demons many of which are cataloged in the text so how exactly does the story go well as I said before it's told from Solomon's perspective and he starts the story with an introduction letting us know that he is the son of David the
king of all Jerusalem and that he has mastered the ability to control All the spirits of the air the Earth and under the Earth we are told that the Temple City of Jerusalem is currently being built and that Solomon's men were hard at work with its construction however amongst his men lurks a demon known as ornias and every day at Sunset he would haunt a young boy stealing half of his pay and half of his food he would also suck the boy's right thumb as a result of having his pay in food reduced the boy
begins to grow Thin Solomon takes notice of this because the boy happened to be one of his favorite servants Solomon summons him one day and asks him quote do I not love thee More Than The Artisans who are working in the temple of God do I not give thee double wages and double supply of food how is it that day by day an hour by hour thou grows thinner the boy responds to Solomon telling him that after he's done with his day's work he goes go home to lay down and an evil Demon comes and
takes away half of his pay and half of his food he then reveals to Solomon that this demon sucks his thumb and as a result his soul is being weakened and his body grows thinner every day the detail of a demon sucking the soul out of the boy's thumb is definitely an interesting plot point to include the only explanation I have as to what this could be a reference to is possibly a divination technique that's talked about an old text allegedly going All the way back to ancient Greece apparently the Oracle the person trying to
see the the future we need a young boy specifically a virgin and rub an oil on his thumbnail until it become shiny from there this Oracle would call on Dions which is the Greek word for demon to show the future on the boy's thumb it's a strange ritual that might be what's being referenced when it's talking about ornos sucking the soul out of the boy's thumb anyway once Solomon Learns of all of this he enters the temple of God and prays all night and all day that the demon that had plagued the boy would be
delivered unto his hands so that he might gain control over this demon just as say he controls the air the earth and the people of God Solomon then gets a visit from the Archangel Michael who brings him a ring with an engraved seal on it Michael tell Solomon take o Solomon King son of David the gift which the Lord has sent Thee The highest Sabbath with it Thou shalt lock up Demons of the earth male and female and with their help Thou shalt build up Jerusalem the next morning Solomon gives the boy the ring and
tells him to wait for the demon to appear to him again and when he does throw the ring at the Demon's chest and tell him that King Solomon summons him so the boy takes the ring and goes off to work as he does normally but that night he was again visited by the demon ornias the Boy following Solomon's instructions throws the ring at the chest of the demon telling him that King Solomon calls him ornias upon realizing that he's been bound by this ring cries out saying quote child why hast thou done this to me
take the ring off me and I will render to thee the gold of the earth only take this off me and forbear me to Lead Me Away to Solomon unfortunately for ornias the boy resists all of the Demon's Temptations And flees from him going to Solomon to let him know that he had bound the demon outside upon hearing this Solomon rises from his throne and immediately finds the demon where the boy had bound him Solomon then asks this demon his name and the demon replies ornos Solomon asks ornos to reveal his zodiacal sign to which
ornos reveals that that he belongs to Aquarius he also reveals that he is a subject to those who are consumed with a desire for Noble Virgins upon the Earth and that these are the ones he strangles to death unfortunately there's sections missing in the text so we aren't exactly sure whether orus is actually referring to the strangulation of noble virgins themselves or strangling people who desire them here's what oras says directly in the text quote whenever men become enamored with women I metamorphose myself into a comely female and I take hold of the men in
their Sleep and play with them oras also tells Solomon he can shapes shift into a winged lion and that he is bound by his father yorel however the text is ambiguous and has large segments missing so we don't have a clear understanding of the exact relationship between oros and Uriel whether or not he's actually meant to be taken as a literal father or just as the angel who binds him the only other time we've heard of angels having children Was the watchers from The Book of Enoch which I talked about earlier and in that story
yorel was one of the the archangels who specifically didn't have children with men and was one of the Angels God used to clean up the mess of the Watchers so this makes oro's statement a very strange one to say the least but it gets even weirder from here Solomon tells oras to cut stones for the temple but ornos doesn't like the idea of hard labor and begins to beg to Solomon to let him go when simply begging Solomon to let him go doesn't work ornos begins to bargain with them saying quote I pray thee Solomon
let me go free and I will bring you all of the demons Solomon isn't sure how to proceed with this so he goes to pray with God once more this time the Archangel yiel himself appears to Solomon and forces ornos to comply frustratingly neither yorel nor ornias acknowledge or mention the fact that Uriel is supposedly the Father of oras Uriel basically shows up tells oras to stop complaining then leaves there's no other dialogue between the two of them after Uriel pieces out ornos is now completely under the control of Solomon and unable to resist his
commands Solomon then tells ornos to bring him beel abub the chief of the Demons so that he can do the same thing to him ornos having no choice goes and brings be elub when be elub is within range of Solomon he throws the ring at Him and like before be elub is now bound to Solomon with the chief of the demons in front of him Solomon immediately begins to press beel abub for more information be abub tells him that he is the chief of the demons and that he sets his demons to be worshiped by
men as Gods Solomon then commands be elub to bring all of the demons that he can before him or as the text calls them unclean spirits to him be elub being bound by the ring and Having no choice does so all of the Demons under his command come forward to the temple now surrounded by what seems to be an army of demons Solomon asked be elub if now all of the demons are at the temple be elub lets him know that there are a few that he could not bring forward the only one of these
demons that named is the alleged child of beel abub which is said to haunt the Red Sea that he couldn't bring forth for some unknown reason it's unknown how many Demons actually show up for the construction of the temple as The Testament of Solomon is fragmented and incomplete however it also seems to leave it open to interpretation that there were likely several more demons than the ones that were named specifically in the text this will become important much later so with a massive amount of demons now surrounding Solomon and the temple The Story Goes Like
This Solon meets a demon asks that Demon their name and various attributes about themselves and then he gives them a specific task in the temple and he gives them a specific task for building the Temple so let's go ahead and go over all of these demons so with that let's look over these demons the first of which is onoskelis or anoses this demon appears as a pretty woman with fair hued skin there's some discrepancy with the translation as some argue that the text describes her as Having as having goat legs while others seem to imply
that she just appears as a normal human being when Solomon interrogates her she says quote I am called onoskelis a spirit Rod of Saturn lurking upon the Earth there's a golden cave where I live but I have a place that ever shifts there's a lot to impact with what she says here so let me break it down when she says that she is of Saturn that probably means she is of the nature of Saturn and not being from the planet Saturn this text isn't implying that demons are ancient aliens in esoteric Judaism and Christianity Saturn
is represented of various things notably building farming binding basically any form of hard labor this is also referenced in other comparative religions of the time the Roman Saturn or Greek Kronos was the father of the Titans but was also the patron deity of the Harvest so what onoskelis likely meant was that she too was an enti of those attributes this makes what she says next make more sense quote often times however I do consort with men in the semblance of a woman and above all with those of dark skin for they share my star with
me since it is they who priv or openly worship my star with me when she says men of dark skin she's referencing day laborers Farmers Builders Etc basically anyone who works Outside back in those times the wealthy who did not have to spend time outside didn't get tan and were usually lighter in skin whereas poor and working-class people would spend the day out in the sun getting a tan hence the dark skinned comment Solomon asks this demon where exactly she came came from and what she says is pretty interesting she says quote I was born
of a voice untimely the so-called echo of a man's order dropped in a wood it's hard to say what exactly She means by this but if we were to take it literally based off of what be abub said earlier in the text along with what an oscalus just said many theorize that be abub created her from a piece of poop that someone had left out in the wood somewhere I seriously doubt that was the original intent but I can't find any better explanation and it's fine fun so I'm going to use that one with her
giving all of the information that Solomon could want he tells her to spin The hemp for the ropes of the temple the next demon to walk forward is as modius as I talked about earlier this is the same demon that would plagued Tobias and Sarah in his own story this demon appears with three heads the first like a bull the second like a man and the third like a ram he also has the tail of a serpent and from that snake's mouth he can breathe fire when Solomon asks as modius his name he replies but
how shall I answer thee for thou art the Son of man whereas I was born of an Angel seed by a daughter of man so that none of our Heavenly kind addressed to the earth born can be overweening here as modius leaves no ambiguity he flat out says he is the son of an angel and a human being this has led many to speculate that The Testament of Solomon is confirming what the Book of Enoch says about demons and that is modius is one of the spirits of the Nephilim haunting the Earth anyway isodi Is
the most unwilling demon that Solomon encounters throughout the story he constantly refuses to answer his questions so Solomon has him held down and beaten until he complies which he eventually does he tells Solomon that he plots against newlyweds by separating them and that he is of the constellation of the Big Dipper when Solomon asks as modius what Angel he is bound by as modius directly references The Book of Tobit and says quote by Raphael the Archangel that stands Before the Throne of God but delivering G of a fish put me to flight when smoked over
ashes of the Tamarisk this here shows that there is likely a connection between the book of Tobias or the book of tobat and The Testament of Solomon as that little detail pertaining to the weakness of this specific demon would be too much of a coincidence otherwise Solomon continues to torture until as modius tells him that he has Nothing more to say through this torture we learn what fish is needed to keep them away as well as the fact that is modius is hurt by water Solomon decides to give asmodus an ironic punishment for his Defiance
earlier by having him carry the water jugs to the workers of the temple if asmodus spill some of the water it would basically burn him like acid as as modius is walking off carrying the jugs he turns around and tells Solomon one more Thinge so ask me not many things for thy kingdom also after a little time is to be disrupted and thy glory is but for a season and short will be the Tyranny over us and then we shall again have free range over man mankind so as that they rever us as if we
were Gods not knowing men that they are the names of angels set over us if you aren't familiar with the biblical stories and how Solomon's Reign ends after one of his wives convinces him to blaspheme Against God he gives a sacrifice to another God here as modius is telling Solomon that he is completely fine building Solomon's Temple because he knows that Solomon his Temple and his kingdom are all ultimately doomed and that even when Solomon binds all of the demons and traps them in a jar they will one day be free again Solomon is basically
unperturbed by this and turns to the next demon this demon is called teas he's described as having a face With a body that spirals down like a snail or slug this is a bit of a weird way to describe him but what they basically mean is that he's like a giant wind monster made of wind as You' expect a wind monster he controls winds and dust storms brings Darkness downto men he also tells Solomon that he brings darkness and lights feels on fire Solomon tells this demon to lift stones to the workmen to the high
parts of the Temple there's not much more to say about this demon as most of the text for this section is missing after teas there are seven demons in line who walk up to Solomon they appear like a group of women bound together these seven demons are likely believed to be a reference to the PES constellation when Solomon asks what and who they they are they all respond together with quote our stars are in heaven Seven Stars humbly and Sheen alt Together and we are called goddesses we change our place and all together and together
we live sometimes in Lydia sometimes in Olympus sometimes in a great Mountain here the text explicitly references Greek mythology basically trying to reaffirm the world view of Christians and Jews at the time not that the other gods and pantheons weren't real but they were actually demons posing his Gods trying to lead people Astray Solomon has a brief dialogue with each of them and each of these seven explain who they are their name and their nature the first is deception who as the name implies deceives people and gets them to commit acts of heresy Strife as
a name would suggest brings Strife battle who causes people who are normally well behaved to fall foul of each other jealousy who causes men to Forget their sobriety and moderation power who raises up bad people into positions of power there's also error who causes people to make mistakes error also makes a reference to the book of Kings specifically the part where Solomon kills his brother she tells Solomon that one day she will be the one to cause him to make more mistakes in the future and the last of these demons doesn't actually give her name
when Solomon asks what her name is she simply Replies that she is the worst according to her she makes things worse than they were and tell Solomon thate the Locust will set me free for by my means therefore Thou shalt achieve my desire what this is in reference to is at the end of the story and how Solomon's reign will eventually fall as the sacrifice he makes to other gods are the lives of locusts that he takes in the name of these other gods after speaking with these seven demons Solomon Tells them to dig the
foundation for the temple with those seven now at work the next demon appears before Solomon he appears as a man with no head when Solomon asks what this demon is he simply responds with quote I am a demon Solomon isn't sure if this demon is mocking him or genuinely just stupid so he asks him a more specific question like what is your name the demon responds with I am called Envy for I Delight to devour heads being desirous To secure for myself a head but I do not eat enough but am anxious to have such
aead as thou Hast Solomon and envy have a short back and forth from here Solomon and en have back and forth and Solomon being flustered decides to just use the ring on him as Envy is either not willing to cooperate or genuinely too stupid to give him direct answers to his questions after using the ring Solomon asks Envy how in the world does he see without a head Envy simply replies with By means of my feelings Solomon then decides to ask how does Envy speak without a head Envy replies I oh King Solomon my holy
voice for I have inherited the voices of Many Men for in the case of all men who are called dumb it is I who smashed their heads when they were children and had reached the eighth day he also tells Solomon that he is always searching for a head and decapitates men to wear their head for his own but when the head ultimately Doesn't do anything for him as it's already dead he decides to swallow the head in a flame that comes out of his neck when Solomon asks where this flame comes from En be tells
Hime from the day star for here hath not been found that luberon to whom men offer prayers and Kindle lights and his name is invoked by seven demons before me and he cherishes them the name alberon catches Solomon's attention and he asks Envy who is Al luberon to which Envy replies I cannot Tell thee for if I tell his name I render myself incurable but he will come in response of his name what makes this particular exchange so interesting is the name of luberon never appears in The Testament of Solomon again we never learn his
true identity however we can speculate the day star is also translated as the morning star and as I mentioned earlier in the iceberg the Morning Star is Lucifer if this is the case the fall of Lucifer story might Have more credibility as The Testament of Solomon is much older than Milton's Paradise Lost a lot older but again that's a lot of assumptions and we just don't have enough information as most of the text is missing and luberon never actually appears anyway back to the story since Solomon isn't really sure what exactly Envy can do or
that Envy will even be capable of responding to commands he simply tells Envy to go stand with be abub and has be abub watch Over him until he can think of something for this demon to do as Envy is leaving another demon appears before Solomon this demon is known as staff or rabos the text describes him as a Hound likee monster like a giant dog he tells Solomon that he was once a wicked man on Earth and performed dark magic unfortunately again the text is missing some sections here what we do know is that rabos
turns men into something unknown and that he sees his friendy Med By the larynx and destroys them he also tells Solomon that there is a green stone worth 200 shekels hidden in the mountains nearby why he does this we aren't really sure upon hearing about this green stone another interesting thing happens rabos tell Solomon that there's another demon who knows the exact location of the stone but that demon had not actually come to the temple so Solomon has one of his servants take the ring and rabos to find This demon use the ring to bind
that demon and find the stone and bring it back to the temple when the servant and rabos return rabos has something in his mouth we aren't entirely sure what this is the text simply refers to it as a fiery spirit so what exactly this fiery demon is the text doesn't mention and is never brought up again the next demon to appear before Solomon is known as lion Bearer or wrath this demon appears as a lion-like monster unlike the other Demons up to this point he immediately bows his head and tells Solomon everything he knows without
even being asked or the ring being put on him he says he is a spirit and is incapable of being perceived and leaves upon men prostrate with what he calls sickness what is the sickness the worship of God so wrath sees worship of God as a plague that he needs to wipe out he also tells Solomon something fairly interesting quote but I also have another Glory O King I cast out demons and have Legions under my control Solomon doesn't really seem to care about the fact that a demon openly says that he can cast out
other demons and instead asks this demon his name and what Angel binds him he says he is known as wrath the lion Bearer and he is bound by Emmanuel the name Emanuel means god with us and appears a few times throughout the Bible almost always referen the prophesized Messiah thus in The Christian context Jesus Christ so what wrath is telling Solomon as the one thing he fears above all is that one day the Savior will come and will defeat all of the Demons Solomon takes note of this and tells wrath to gather and saw wood
for the temple the next demon to appear before Solomon is a three-headed dragon he like wrath tells Solomon everything immediately he never gives his name and Silia refers to him as a Caltrop like Spirit a Caltrop is a three- spiked weapon so it's assumed that since this dragon has three heads that's what it's in reference to he tells Solomon that he makes children blind deaf and mute in the womb and causes epilepsy when asked what force binds him the demon tells Solomon that there is a being who dwells on the cross again a reference to
the coming of Jesus the dragon also mentions That there is a purple column that floats in the air above Solomon unfortunately the text is missing in that part so we don't get an exact closure on that comment this demon also tells Solomon that there is gold buried near the entrance at the base of the temple Solomon tells his demon to dig it up and then to make bricks once he's done the next demon that comes forward to Solomon basically appears as a floating head of a woman and the part Where her body should be is
described as being shrouded in Shadows when Solomon asks who this demon is she replies by asking who he is calling him filthy and telling him to wash his hands to which Solomon actually complies and does so Solomon basically tells the reader that there would be no point in arguing with this demon because she would know that the ring would bind her so she must have some kind of immunity to it Solomon's plan was to try and find Another way to bind this demon without the use of the Ring once he returns she tells Solomon that
by night she goes about the world finding women in childbirth possessing them and strangling the child also that she makes children blind deaf and mute she also reveals that the Archangel Raphael binds her and if a pregnant woman has Fai faith in God she cannot enter the womb and harm the child it's here that she reveals that she is only good for Harming children unless the task brings harm to a child OBU can't do it so even if Solomon uses the ring to bind her there's nothing he can make her do except hurt children that
is her sole purpose for existence Solomon upon discovering this is so disgusted by this demon that he has her hung up by her hair at the front of the temple some have debated that this demon is to be Lilith or a reference to the lelu due to her Association with attacking children however her description name and even personality don't really match with any of the other established versions of Lilith so that's a bit of a stretch the next demon to appear before Solomon appears as a dragon with the face hands and feet of a human
he tells Solomon that he seduces women and forces women into sex non-consensually at one point he starts randomly speaking Latin and mentions That he prefers and then he prefers various sexual things that I can't say on YouTube at one point this demon attempts to burn down the temple and Solomon has to call on an angel that binds him to stop him after that Solomon tells this demon to saw marble for the temple the next demon to appear before Solomon also appears as a woman but this time she has three heads and several additional sets of
hands she mocked Solomon and prophesizes the downfall of Jerusalem by the Babylonians she also tells Solomon that the demons will be free again and that she doesn't fear Him or the angel that binds her the only thing she fears is the being called Emanuel again a reference to the eventual coming of Jesus Solomon responds by having the angel that binds her fasten her to the temple with triple chain however her words actually Shake Solomon to his core and her words According to the writer of the text were the reason the Testament was written in the
first place the next demon to appear before Solomon appears as a half horse half fish he tells Solomon that his name is Kunis bastan and that he sinks ships and drowns in at Sea he also tells Solomon that he and beel abub have respect for each other as beel abub rules the Demons of the earth and air while Kunis Baston rules the Demons of the sea Solomon continues being Disgusted by these demons and the destruction that they cause Kunis bastan being particularly egregious as he has slaughtered many people as punishment for this Solomon seals Kus
bastan a file with 10 jugs of sea water and buries him under the temple the next demon to appear before Solomon appears like a giant humanoid being with gleaming eyes holding a giant sword when asks who this demon is he responds with quote I am a lascivious Spirit engendered of a giant man who dies in the massacre in the time of giants in the time of the Giants this is likely another reference to the Book of Enoch as I mentioned before in The Book of Enoch after Gabriel has the Nephilim destroy each other God allows
their Immortal spirits to wander the Earth as a punishment for Humanity it seems here that The Testament of Solomon once again reaffirms that demons like as modius and this lascivious Spirit are in fact the Sons of angels coming from this time of Giants or the time of the Nephilim this lascivious demon tells Solomon that in untimely Seasons he will assume the form of a corpse and anyone who passes through a cemetery is caught off guard and killed by him or he has them possessed by lesser demons Solomon not sure what to do with his demon
tells him to wait in the corner alongside be elub and envy after Solomon deals with this demon 36 approach him at once when Soloman asks who these demons are they all respond at once saying quote we are the 36 elements the world rulers of this Darkness but oh King Solomon thou Wilt not wrong us nor imprison us nor lay command on us but since the Lord God has given the authority over every spirit in the air and on the earth and under the Earth and therefore we do also present ourselves before thee like the other
Spirits from RAM and bull both from Twin and crab lion and virgin scales and Scorpion Archer goat horn waterp and fish Solomon describes these demons as appearing like human beings with heads of various animals which has led some to speculate that these demons might be a reference to the Egyptian gods being demonized in this text which makes sense once you understand what and where deacons originate from and their correlation with the number 36 originally the deacons were developed by the Egyptians around 2,180 BC to 240 BC And were used to Mark the night for a
period of 10 days each Deacon or Star hung in the sky as the brightest of the constellations Before Dawn this meant that they marked 360 days a year the Egyptians would also celebrate 5 days of feast as a means to make up the difference basically as the Earth orbits the sun certain constellations are visible in the sky at certain times in Western astrology refer to these as the 12 constellations or signs of the zodiac Each Deacon represents 10° of a circle which is 360° so when these demons talk about the spirits of the RAM and
bull they're talking about the spirits of the constellations Taurus and Aries this implies that they are spirits Within These domains that Solomon hasn't met yet but we'll talk about them when we get to the ARs goisha since these demons are under his command Solomon tells these 36 to fetch water for the workers Of the temple as well as various other t asks these demons would be the last of the initial demons brought before Solomon at least those mentioned in this part of the text at this point in the story we move ahead in time to
some unspecified period later Solomon is considered the wise King who defeated the demons and brought peace to Jerusalem and people from neighboring kingdoms have noticed as well including the queen of the South the Queen of Sheba who is very impressed with the golden Riches of the temple and ultimately begins to have an affair with her later on he also receives a letter from the king of Arabia who tells him that there is a demon haunting their land that he somehow missed basically a challenge saying that Solomon's God doesn't have the power over all Spirits if
even one got away Solomon hesitates for the first time in the story and waits seven days before he sends a Servant with a ring to face this demon while Solomon's servant goes to face this demon Solomon is seemingly more focused on a Cornerstone for the temple which keeps falling over the servant goes to Arabia and uses the ring to trap a demon inside of a flask and brings the flask to Solomon when the flask is brought to Solomon it stands upright and begins walking around this demon tells Solomon that he is ephas Solomon asks ephas
what Angel Binds him to which he responds that there will one day be a being born of a virgin who will die on a cross who will sap him and the other Demons of their strength Solomon then asks what epfas does and fapas tells him that he removes mountains overthrows Kings and destroys forests Solomon tells him to lift up the Cornerstone of the temple the one that had been causing so much trouble earlier and epas tells Solomon that not only can he do that but he can bring the pillar Of air to Jerusalem what this
pillar is we can only speculate but it's likely meant to be a reference to the Book of Exodus as Moses led the Jews out of Egypt they were Guided by two pillars which were manifestations of God a pillar of the clouds during the day and a pillar of fire which provided them warmth at night Solomon puts the flask under the stone and the demon while still in the flask lifts the stone into place how he does this without leaving The flask it doesn't say Solomon tells the demon to go out and bring him the pillar
of air the demon also lets Solomon know that he is the one who can bring forth the son of be abub Solomon is intrigued by this and tells him to bring the son of be abub as well once ephas the son of be abub and the pillar of air are brought to the temple ephas and this new demon plac the pillar somewhere around the temple and there the pillar was hanging Of enormous size in midair supported by the winds and thus the spirits appeared underneath like air supporting it and if one looks fixedly the pillar
is a little oblique being supported by spirits and it is so today what exactly this pillar is we aren't entirely sure some speculate that this is meant to be a reference to the Milky Way galaxy with this pillar now in place Solomon asks this new demon who he is he says that his name is aabad and That he is the son of an archangel he doesn't specifically say which Archangel it is but at least according to what the text had said previously this would imply that be abub may have been an archangel before falling from
Heaven abod claims to be the demon that possessed Pharaoh after God hardened his heart in Exodus and helped Pharaoh's Mages in their Magic Duel with Moses in Exodus as well Solomon then proceeds to ask him why in the world he was in the Red Sea abz theod tells Solomon that when the Jews left Egypt and Moses parted the Red Sea abz theod still possessing the Pharaoh and using his dark magic to assist his men attempted to cross while the water was still raised as soon as Moses and the Jews were safe the water Came Crashing
back down this event trapped him there under the pillar of air within the Red Sea as I mentioned earlier this pillar of air would have been the third pillar that Protected Moses in Exodus this one stopping the Egyptians from pursuing them if this sounds familiar it should because this seems to heavily imply that abz thead is in fact one and the same with mastema from the book of jubilees this would also further solidify the idea that many of the demons are in fact the spirits of the Nephilim and if what be abub said earlier is
true that he is a fallen Archangel and that Azad is his son this Could mean that be elub was in fact one of the Watcher angels and that Azad is the spirit of an Nephilim who God gave permission to rule over other Spirits for before he would eventually be trapped in the Red Sea Solomon decides to tell abod and epfas to hold this pillar in the sky in place until the end of days and that is the last of the Demons Solomon Encounters in this story kind of the story makes it out that there were
Hundreds if not thousands of demons that were potentially called to build the temple and that only a handful of them were actually named in this text later on in an epilogue molok as well as some of the other false gods Solomon makes an offering to eventually lead to his downfall as such a lot of other texts reference the construction of the temple when talking about demons or outright implying that a demon was there even knowing they weren't Mentioned in this original Testament of Solomon and with that let's move on to tier five tier five Mal
malarum demonology of King James and the witch hunts malus malarum was a book first published in 1486 it was written by German Catholic clergymen Hinrich Kramer roughly translated as Hammer of the witches this book is widely credited with the beginning of the witch hunts in Western Europe the book lays out the concept of Witchcraft theoretically as Well as very basic demonology from the point of view of natural philosophy and Theology and declares it heresy specifically IT addresses the question of whether or not witchcraft is real or imaginary the conclusion drawn from this book is that
witchcraft must be real because the devil is real witch is and entered into a pact with the devil to allow them to perform powerful and harmful magical acts thus establishing an essential link between Witches and the devil it also discusses how to prosecute a witch the best ways to get arguments from them usually torture and even offers a step-by-step guide on how to conduct a witch trial even at the time of its publishing the book was condemned by top theologians of the Inquisition at the faculty of cologne for recommending unethical and illegal procedures and for
being inconsistent with the then Catholic doctrines of demonology the Catholic Church's view was that there were two kinds of magic white magic which was acceptible to an extent under the church and black magic which wasn't white magic was any Act of invoking the name of God or those subordinate to God so many of the Saints Angels the Virgin Mary Etc that's because the Catholic church in a lot of its ritualism invoked many of these same names meanwhile black magic was invoking any false god or entity explicitly Opposed to the Christian God so mostly pagans and
non-conforming Christians but the condemnation of the Catholic Church Authority didn't stop the public from spreading ideas in the book it also didn't help that there was a growing distrust between the people in the church which would ultimately lead to the Protestant Reformation and when the Protestants split from the Catholics it became much more strict in Protestant areas and Catholic ones one of the main Points of the Reformation was removing what Protestants refer to as papistry or the ritualistic practices of the Catholic Church namely the ritualism and the various practices of the Catholic church that would
invoke these lesser names of God like Saints Angels or the Virgin Mary and speaking of protestantism of which King James as in the King James who commissioned the King James translation of the Bible wrote his own tract on demonology in 1597 this demonology is a relatively brief tract about three chapters in length and is a dialogue between two characters a skeptic of Witchcraft and a Believer the beliefs of the book are extremely similar to the malus malarum almost to the point that some people believe that King James himself might have been a plagiarist and like
the malus malarum it condemns all forms of divination ceremonial necromancy folk magic paganism judicial astrology as Well as Catholic papistry as in League with the devil a notable addition that King James added was the idea that a prospective which will sign a pact with a devil or demon in their own blood as a means of selling their soul in the demonology ol ology of King James James uses large sections of the text to undermine the power of Catholicism or more specifically the papistry as Protestants call it for example according to King James Catholic Exorcism is
only temporary and only works because the priest is using scripture not from any Authority that the Catholic Church gives that priest another concept that the demonology of King James denounces is the idea of something called Melancholia at the time people were just beginning to get a grasp on the concept of mental illness Melancholia was just a catchall term that they used for it James ultimately rejects this idea and says that witches Can't be suffering from Melancholia or even if they were suffering from it it was because they were under demonic influence anyway may as well
just burn them to be sure in this text James argued for much stricter laws and prosecutions of the witches and Witchcraft up to when including the prosecution and execution of children he also goes in depth on what torture methods to use on witches most of which had been condemned by the Catholic Church long before all of this to say that generally speaking The Witch Trials were far more brutal in Protestant areas especially Scotland and Germany than anywhere else and played a large role of informing the view of witches demons and the Occult in the Western
World egregor an egregor is a thought form created by two or more people what is a thought form well a thought form is a construct that is created by intense concentration given life and energy by Intent and has the power to influence people of the material world think of it like this in case something never existed physically it can still have an effect on people a common example is that of Santa Claus there isn't a physical man named Santa Claus who rides on a magic Sligh delivering presents to children on Christmas Eve that doesn't mean

the ARs goisha we also have another book of the Lesser key of Solomon to cover the ARs Thosa the third chosa is the second book of the Lesser key of Solomon the spirits in this book are generally more nature Spirits unlike the goisha and they don't have a physical description it expands on the ideas in the goisha that there are certain hours ascribed to Dukes that you can call forth it's extremely complex these demons are arranged into hierarchies and each hierarchy is associated with the directions of the compass an inferior Emperor oversees Each of these
directions and demonic princes Kings and Dukes sered beneath them are associated with the aspects of that direction since the demons that oversee the directions are the heads of those and the most important let's go over the four Demons of the directions starting with Carnel the chief emperor of the East with over a thousand Dukes under him amadel the chief emperor of the West with 300 great dukes and 500 lesser Dukes under him caspel the Emperor of the South with 200 great dukes and 400 lesser Dukes under him and de moriel the chief emperor of the
north with 400 great dukes and 600 lesser Dukes under him and that covers most of the major Demons of the third there's a lot more in the third but all at list is their name and which direction they're under and as I said earlier they're all subject under the four I just listed and with that we've covered all of the Demons of the Lesser key of Solomon bafat bamat is one of the stranger demons from a historical and Ault perspective usually depicted as a goat-headed hermaphrodite this demon made its first appearance in the transcripts of
the knight's Templar for various reasons the Templar fell under the suspicion in Europe and the group was eventually arrested and tried among the charges against the Templars was That they had begun to worship a then unknown entity baat there are several theories as to the origin of the word bamet one theory is that baet was likely a Corruption of the word mahat if this was the case the knight's Templar might have turned away from Christianity towards Islam since Mah was the common rendering for Muhammad at the time another theory posits that a substitution Cipher was
used in the creation of the word which substitutes The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet for the name for the last letter in the alphabet the second for the second to last and so on therefore baffet rendered in Hebrew when the ciphers applied roughly translates to the Divine wisdom the Divine wisdom has a significant meaning in Greek Sophia this would likely mean that the Knights Templar adopted Gnostic ideas which we'll talk about way later in the iceberg which are some of the earliest Christian blasphemies if this is the case the name bamet would likely have
an esoteric meaning for wisdom regardless of the true origin of the name during the night's confession which are gotten under medieval torture by the way they each confess to worshiping this demon and each described this appearance different L because of this many inferred that bamat was not referencing a demon originally it was likely made up As a means of powerful people dealing with political rivals or perhaps there was something more to it in that mystery would all there would have to be to say about baffet except in 1854 a cultist to leus Levi included baffet
in his book rituals of high magic in which baffet is renewed as the sabotic goat to Levi as an esoteric Christian and a cultist the bamat like the lamaso the Sphinx or the Griffin wasn't meant to be interpreted as a Physical creature but instead its image combines various symbols to help us understand the nature of the world which is the Occult Philosophy he was preaching in this case baffet isn't meant to be an antagonist to God like a demon but instead a collection of symbols that represent God or more specifically the creations of God bamat
as a concept would once again be changed by another occultist alisher crley who we'll talk about even more later in the Iceberg an excerpt from cley's book magic book 4 reads quote the devil is historically the god of any people not one personally dislikes this serpent Satan is not the enemy of man but he who made gods of our race knowing good and evil he bade know thyself and taught initiation he is the devil of the book of th and his emblem is baffet the Androgen who is the hieroglyph of Arcane Perfection he is there
for life and love but moreover his letter is I am the eye So that he is light and a zodiacal image is capricornus that leaping goat whose attribute is Liberty here cley describes the baffet as symbolic of the righteous and misunderstood Rebel that appears in many mythologies like Lucifer pereus and so on the symbolism of the Demonic Rebel was What attracted Anton L to use it as a main symbol for the Church of Satan when he came up with it in 1966 from here the cly version of the bat would be solidified as the true
version of of Baet for most people Demons of other grimoires there are dozens if not hundreds of various grimoires that talk about demons most of which overlap with the goisha and none of which are nearly as complete as the goisha the goisha is generally considered to be the main grimoire of demonology at least when it comes to the Middle Ages and with that we reached the end let's go ahead and move on to the next tier tier six on this tier we're Going to talk about some of the stranger things that have come about from
Christianity and some of its offshoots starting with yal de beo the Demi urge and his archons so yal Deo or the Demi urge is a concept known to Gnostic Christianity Gnostic Christianity was a dualistic version of Christianity that came about a really long time ago before the nyine Creed and the compilation of the new testament which solidified what we now Know today is Christianity as shown from this chart here Christianity would split into monistic and dualistic Christian over 1500 years ago this chart is also coming from a side project that may or may not make
into a video I haven't decided yet anyway this dualistic Christianity believed in the concept of two Gods one that created the physical universe and one that created the heavens the one that created the heavens Is the good God and the one that created the physical universe is the bad God seeing as how the god of the Old Testament is said to have created the physical universe that therefore assumes that the god of the Old Testament and therefore the god of Christianity is evil this is all explained through various Gnostic texts all of which describe roughly
a similar story let me go ahead and explain that story really quick so at some point either before the Crucifixion of Jesus or sometime after the resurrection of Jesus one of the Apostles or Jesus's followers it differs depending on which SE of Gnostic Christianity you're looking at is told by Jesus a secret knowledge that he had not told anyone before this secret knowledge is a very different origin story to the Universe than what was described in the Book of Genesis according to this version of Jesus in the beginning there was a Primordial God and that
by knowing itself this primordial God creates a second God known as the barbello from here the primordial God and the barbello create Christ after this several lesser entities known as cages are created through this Trinity of the primordial God the barbello and Christ all of these entities make up something known as the ploma also known as the divine Divine fullness within this Divine fullness are Lesser Gods called aons one of these aons named Sophia or the Divine wisdom tries to create her own version of the ploma however this instead leads to the creation of a
hideous monster known as Yalta beo or later the demiurge this demiurge is usually described as appearing like a snake with a lion's head Sophia is disgusted by her creation and casts the demiurge out of the polara And into the nothingness from here the Demi urge awakens and finds itself seemingly alone in the darkness because of this the demiurge believes that it is the only thing in existence and declares itself to be God and using its Divine Powers inherited from Sophia creates an imperfect or inverted version of the ploma thus creating the physical Universe the other
gods of the ploma learn of what Sophia had done and either mock the demiurge or actively tried to Stop him depending on which version of Gnostic Christianity you're looking looking at in one version the demier is tricked into breathing some of his divinity into this false ploma and in another version he tricks other lesser aons into falling into this false ploma this Divinity is meant to explain where the soul comes from it came from heaven or the ploma and is trapped in the physical universe or the false ploma Of the demiurge the demiurge then creates
several evil entities known as arons whose purpose is to keep this Divinity these Souls trapped in the false ploma from here the story of Genesis plays out like normal with Adam and Eve being unaware that the Garden of Eden is actually a prison meant to keep their Divinity trapped in the physical world the snake who temps Eve to eat of the fruit of knowledge isn't a fallen angel but is instead an agent of the Poma the true Gods later on in the story of Cain and Abel it's described that Cain and Abel are actually the
children of the Demi urge and Seth the third child of Adam and Eve is actually the inheritor something called nosis or knowledge of the demiurge later the demiurge tries to destroy the descendants of Seth by sending archons to Earth to try and Destroy them this is a reference to the watchers from The Book of Enoch even way Back when when Gnostic Christianity was still running around they believe that the Book of Enoch was true from here Jesus concludes the story to his follower the follower whichever one it is is naturally distraught by this this is
very different from the god they know this sudden Revelation that everything they believe is false God is evil we're all doomed in this false reality but Jesus reassures that follower that all one needs to do to escape the Demi urge In his archons is to achieve nosis and not betray it how one achieves nosis also depends on the text and what exactly nosis is also depends on the text for the most part the demiurge and his archons don't really appear a lot in various forms of demonology Mostly because of how obscure gnosticism is when the
monistic Christians ultimately won the day with the nyine Creed and the comp compilation of the New Testament the Gnostic Christians and all of their Literature were destroyed in some of the earliest examples of State sanctioned book burnings Alis crley the Lima and choon so alisar crley is a very interesting individual especially when it comes to the occult and mysticism Crowley himself was very much so in the public eye of his own accord leading a laticious and hedonistic lifestyle while self aggrandizing with an overinflated ego at least that's what Most think of him but it wasn't
always this way and his life didn't go seemingly off the rails until he did a certain experiment with a particular demon cley was a part of a group known as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn an offshoot of the Freemasons that were more interested in the secrets of the Knights Templar as well as esotericism in the occult cley would make a name for himself as being a high ranking member of the Golden Dawn however the Golden Dawn would eventually fall apart that's a story for another day this would lead Crowley to eventually creating his
own religion the Lima based off of some of the teachings of the Golden Dawn and what he had learned while studying the occult in late 1909 cley performed an evocation and provided a blood sacrifice for a curious demon known as choon this is where things are going to get confusing so try to bear with me as I explain this as best as I can in Ceremonial magic the system in which cley practiced one of the major goals a magician can do is something called crossing the abyss this is where someone raises themselves all the way
up through Tree of Life passing over a darkness and finally achieving knowledge with God this knowledge of God has various different names like nosis or Enlightenment but before someone can gain this knowledge of God they have to do something called crossing the abyss Which is to move one's Soul or one's Consciousness over this darkness that comes between the top of the tree of life and God in the system of ceremonial magic this Abyss is also said to house some kind of entity what exactly this entity is is up for interpretation many describe it as the
Leviathan of the Bible others describe it as the Flaming sword that appears to guard the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve are kicked out regardless there is some kind of Entity that exists in this Abyss Crowley had a very different idea when it came to how to handle this problem rather than go through the traditional method of trying to raise oneself up and face this entity in the abyss on their terms Crowley decided to do something different instead he would summon this entity that exists in the abyss before him like one would summon a
demon of the goisha and according to Crowley he was successful The Entity he called was Called choon This is where things get very contentious because many people think that he was likely tricked by whatever entity he had called during this ritual and was tricked into believing that he had achieved Enlightenment or nosis and that instead of this being his glorious Triumph as Crowley himself proclaimed that this was actually the beginning of his downfall much more akin to that of King Solomon the reason why why myself And many believe this is that many misfortunes would be
fall Crowley after this event ultimately leading to him dying broke in alone of bronchitis with myocarditis on December 1st 1947 to that end many Magic practitioners believe cley to be very similar to King Solomon a man with great talent who ultimately let dark Forces he tried to control destroy him the clipo the clipo usually refers to one of three concepts the first first the Opposite of God or non-existence in old Jewish and Christian mysticism you have the idea that if all of creation came from God then before God created the universe there were only two
things God and the concept that wasn't God when God created the universe that was simply a continuation of God itself I know that sounds confusing because it is anyway it's also been interpreted that this is what the true biblical hell is to be a Part of what is known as the concept of not God or the clipo the other common idea of clipo is the idea that when God created the universe the other concept of not God was shattered in fact clipo itself means husk the idea is that the shards of not God these fragmentary
unbalanced powers of non-existence or even a possibly a previous universe that existed beforehand have become ingrained in the fabric of Reality conceptually there were some of the most terrifying Concepts in all of Jewish and Christian ISM unlike traditional demons which are basically the bad creations of God are an alien pseudo existence that have existed alongside the concepts of God and Divinity and the third and most esoteric approach to the clipo is the tree of death or the opposite of divinity itself speaking of which the tree of death as I was just talking about the tree
of death Is another concept associated with the term clipo in this case the tree of death is also meant to be the inverse of the tree of life or the sepharad the tree of life is a map of sorts to reach a more holy State while the tree of death is meant to reach a less holy State when following the system of the Tree of Life the general idea is to pull the Divine from the top beyond the sphere of kether the top part of the tree of life and into God or the Divinity itself
you pull that sort of divinity into the physical world to the lowest part of the tree or malth the physical Universe while those following the tree of death draw from the inverse the adversary of God or the Divine to this end to those on the path of the clip off good becomes evil evil becomes good Up Is Down victims are empowered and Authority is weak Etc this is also called the inversion or sometimes incorrectly labeled as the left-hand Path a topic for another day one thing to note is that being on the path of klippo
or the SEO isn't something that magicians or those into the occult do as literal necessarily if someone declares themselves to be a victim and takes that victimhood as a badge of honor for example we would say that they are following the path of the clipo or the tree of death even if this person is completely non-spiritual the tree of death like the tree of life has several Spheres that a named deity watches over on the tree of life the Spheres are watched over by Angels so naturally we assume that the tree of death is watched
over by demons which demons though is debated although there is a general consensus as to what these demons are and these demons are usually galel somel ball or beel abub bagore asmodus asteroth Lucifer bile and molock summoning demons there are many books that go in Depth on summoning demons most of these books are based off of the goisha as translated by coroian matters because of this the Demons of the goisha are the ones that people try to summon the most often these usually include two different ways to summon the demon the traditional way is almost
nearly impossible possible for most people to attempt most people don't have a lion Pelt lying around for example so the more Modern Way is Usually a far more toned down version of the traditional way Skeptics or people who dabble in the occult often try this method and not get any result simply assuming it doesn't work but as pretty much every one of these books will tell you working with demons shouldn't be the first thing you do when trying to learn about magic it takes months or even years of preparation in order for this ritual to
work so don't pick up one of these books expecting instant Results so enough beating around the bush how is it done well you'll need a minimum of three things first the Demon's name second something to associate the demon with either its description like the one I gave earlier a sensation associated with the demon or its sigil a Sigil is a name word or sentence distilled into an image for the subconscious mind in this case you would need the Demon's name as a Sigil most books include pre-made Sigils but you could theoretically make one for yourself
and then the final thing you'll need is your request most sources recommend the traditional setup where the magician stands in a circle with a triangle just outside of the circle this can be done either physically inside your mind's eye or both the circle represents the authority of God and usually has the names of God written along its circumference it's meant to protect the Summoner from the Demon the triangle just outside of the circle is used to hold the demon in place where it is summoned the name of God Andor the name of the angel that
binds that demon is placed alongside the perimeter of the triangle some people opt to use a black scrying mirror as well this is used if they want to physically see the demon in some way but the circle and triangle are technically optional and several non-Christian groups like wiccans scoff At the idea of needing protection from the demons as they're usually seen as rebellious Spirits rather than evil malicious ones in the Christian context in any case once the ritual Begins the magician does various lesser rituals these change depending on the individual and whatever their practice is
but in general these mini rituals are done so the magician can enter into an altered state of consciousness while focusing on the thing used to associate With the demon usually at sigil once the magician enters this altered state of mind mind they'll call out to the demon this is where things get complicated because it's rarely a one-time instant success many people have to do this demon ritual summoning every day for weeks or sometimes even months before they make anything close to contact with it regardless of how long it takes once the magician feels that the
demon is at least listening the Magician will make the request to the demon from here once the demon has heard the magician's request they'll give something called a license to depart meaning that the demon is free to go and complete its task from here it's just waiting for the results for most people that try contacting a demon is usually very subtle process and most people who claim to talk to Demons or spirits on a regular basis are either crazy or most Likely seeking attention I'm going to give a Stern warning right now I would not
recommend seeking out the aid of any demon while they may be rebellious Spirits they rebelled against God whether you believe it's the judeo-christian God is irrelevant when you summon them you invoke God to do so if they rebelled against God there's no stopping them from rebelling against you don't listen to your average Tik Tock witch demons Might act friendly towards you but they are not your friends and you don't want to catch their attention if you don't have to because they do stick around if they're interested in you but some people aren't so lucky and
demons seek them out rather than being summoned I've had that experience before but that's a story for another day so with that being said how do you rid people of demons well exercising Demons in the Bible Jesus exercised many demons from people some of which I covered earlier in the iceberg he was able to do this as a miracle because he was God we aren't God so how do we as average people deal with demons well it's going to depend on who you ask in the Catholic tradition only an ordained priest can do so and
he does so by invoking the name of God reading Psalms 91 and using heavy amounts of holy water this was made famous by the Film The Exorcist a film so influential that a lot of Protestants actually try to get a Catholic priest to perform an exorcism if they believe that someone is possessed however most knowledgeable Protestants along with various occult groups reject the idea that only a Catholic priest can perform an exorcism and that anyone can do so there are multiple different versions of how one can perform an exorcism but they usually ALS also involve
Psalms and heavy use of Holy water however instead of using only one Psalm they mainly use multiple especially Psalms 15 19 29 and of course 91 for those who are into the more ceremonial magic or ult side of things the Lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram the rose cross ritual and charged water are used instead however they can also use the Psalms as well and with that we've reached the end of the Christian demons and demonology Iceberg like I said at the beginning I Wanted to go ahead and remake this video because it was the
most popular video on my channel by far and I just didn't really like how it turned out pretty much since I uploaded it I've been noticing various problems and people pointed out various problems with it in the comment section so I wanted to go ahead and rectify that as best as I could and also kind of see how far I've come in terms of making videos I know I haven't made a bunch of videos but it's Been definitely an interesting process sorry for the lack of uploads I've actually been extremely busy but it looks like
for now I'm not going to be nearly as busy so hopefully I can get back to making more videos because I do have several more that I'm working on right now but if you made it this far thanks for watching I really do appreciate it really does mean a lot do all that like subscribe whatever people say on YouTube now and anyway thanks Again for watching I will hopefully see you in the next video later
