Hi! Do You Have Any Information On Belphegor?

Hi! Do you have any information on Belphegor?

He’s not a demon from the 72 in the Lemegeton, which can make finding the usual info on him a little tough. Belphegor seems to be a corruption of the name Bael-peor, as a reference to the God of the Moabites. within Numbers, we see him as a God that some Israelites became corrupted by and sacrificed to, and all those who did were sentenced to death. 

Hebrew references:

“Your eyes have seen what the LORD has done in the case of Baal-peor, for all the men who followed Baal-peor, the LORD your God has destroyed them from among you.” – Deuteronomy 4:3“They joined themselves also to Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.” – Psalm 106:27-29“I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your forefathers as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season. But they came to Baal-peor and devoted themselves to shame, and they became as detestable as that which they loved.” – Hosea 9:10

there seems to be a bunch of divides on just what he was to that culture. but according to some of the info and a background in the etymology, we know Bael/Ba’al is Lord or Lord of, and Peor seems to be the name of the mountain. in Moab.  there are some references to an entity known as Chemosh as well, but there doesn’t really seem to be a solid connection there.

the information on him as a demon is a little bit hazy and sort of crude, so I can’t honestly say what seems super relevant or not. like, there are people who claim that you better pray while you’re in the bathroom to him, cause your offering is excrement. JewishEncyclopedia covers this as well and basically says that it might just be stigma/ridicule of the worship.

Ways to Get Intimate with the Gods

For those special gods in your life. 

Leave space for them on your bed when you sleep

Dedicate a piece of jewelry to them and wear it all the time

When you’re emotional, write a letter to them until your hands start to hurt

Make them a cup of tea and sit down across from it and just talk

Make some time to sit in ritual in silence and just feel them

Wear their colors for them and let them know you did it for them

Orgasms are great offerings

Take care of yourself physically and pamper yourself while you talk to them and visualize them helping you (example: washing your hair, doing your nails)

Magic is made from passion, so when you need an extra kick in the spell, visualize them touching you and whispering in your ear all the passion that you need 

Eat dinner with them

Create a place where you meet in meditation

Working With The Tides

Working with the Tides

Tides are the rise and fall of the Ocean’s sea level which is employed by the combined gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon. The times of which when a certain tide could take place is heavily influenced by the alignment of the Sun and Moon upon the earth, such as when the Moon is at its first or third quarter. When this happens the Sun and the Moon form a 90 degree angle and cause a special tide called a neap tide. To add to that when the Moon and the Sun form a straight line they create another special tide called a spring tide.

The difference between these two are quite simple

A Spring tide occurs when there is a full or new moon and at these times the high tides are at their highest, while the low ones are at their lowest.

While when there is a neap tide the tides are at the weakest.

High and low tides on the other hand are created when the Moon rotates and creates a big bulge of water on both sides of the planet facing outward. This bulge is called a high tide and moves along with the moon while the second bulge on the other side follows it. The water that is left over is called low tide, so depending on what tides will come in your area determines where the Moon is at.

Flood/Flow:  To bring anything towards you

High Tide:  For any positive workings

Ebb:  To bring anything away from you

Low Tide:  For any negative workings

Spring Tide:  Causes tidal magick to be stronger

Neap Tide:  Causes tidal magick to be weaker

Some shorelines experience two of the same tides per day while some only have a pair of one each day. Though it is quite possible to have a range a mixed tides in your area also.

Tips for landlocked sea witches~

☾ Thrift stores are a good places to look for sea shells or ocean related items, especially if you aren’t going to a beach anytime soon or you don’t want to purchase online. You never know what you might find! If you’re worried about bad energies that may come with your purchase, there’s always spells that you can cast to fix this.

☾ Can’t find any sea shells? Or any shells that speak to you? Items, even crystals, that remind you of the ocean count as well. This includes jewelry or even your favorite blue sweater! Whatever makes you feel closer to the ocean and your craft~

☾ If you’re curious about the closest tides near you and their high and low points each day, there’s a free app called “Tides Near Me” on the app store for your phone~ it’s pretty cool and simple. 

☾ If you’re into moon phases, there’s also a free app called “Luna Solaria” and it gives you a pretty illustrated look at what’s going on up there. :)

Luciferian Basics

So the bread and butter of Luciferianism falls around

- A central admired figured that represents qualities/values but are usually a character that is considered a bringer of knowledge/wisdom. They are considered revolutionary, went against the “norm,” and are sometimes even “demonized” for it.

- The core of Luciferianism falls around knowledge/wisdom. It is about always having a questioning, skeptical mind, never accepting things at face value, but also always being open to learning because learning never stops. It’s never about being stuck in beliefs/value/knowledge when its wrong (i.e. God creation theory). Science is as only good as the latest finding after all! Part of this knowledge/wisdom is also in knowing yourself which… -Being your personal best is the other leg of Luciferianism. Some people call it achieving “godhood” or “divinity” or “enlightenment”

- Rebellion or Revolutionary. If you look at the stories of the various Luciferian figures, literary works, and scripture…there is often a form of “rebellion” or “revolutionary” figure there. Iblis rebelled against God. There is a common thread of the pop culture Satan rebelling against God because God is “unjust.” There is Eve eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Jesus Christ himself was a figure that went against the current religious doctrine of the times. Mary Magdelena was important, then dismissed, but she was also an important Luciferian figure. Then there is Prometheus defying Zeus for humanity. Buddha is another figure with his revolutionary practice that was nothing the Hindu’s had seen. It was radical. So it would be safe to say that the Luciferian can be “radical.” Of course, can be both good and bad change depending upon different factors, different perspectives.

Anything I miss? This is an incredibly broad sweep and not the essay I am working on. This is just the bare bones. Luciferianism itself is like water, it has form…but it also does not. It is a personal path that one must discover for oneself.
