Among the numerous Demons known to the Magi of Europe, only one, besides Lucifer, is mentioned in virtually every Grimoire — from the “Lemegeton”, the “True” and the “Great” Grimoires, to the “Book of Dr. Faust” — Astarot.
Magic begins with overcoming the fear of facing oneself.
And that fear is not accidental. If one peers into the depths of oneself, one can discern an alien, malicious and treacherous being hiding there.
Where did it come from?
The Four Great Rulers of the cardinal directions, who govern the kiners and, accordingly, the Spirits, enable a Magus who has contained their power and assumed their place to effectively command mighty forces.
We have already said that Pagan myth accepts as the primordial basis of the cosmos the Supreme Biner — the Great Father and the Great Mother — who issued from the Depths of the Most High to effect the process of creation. At the first stage they remain undivided (Ymir, Rod), and it is precisely Their separation that creates the difference of potentials driving the World Process.
We have already said that the Magi understand power as the ability to realize one’s will. This ability is traditionally regarded as depending on two elements: the Power of Manifestation (or the so‑called “Life Force”), which determines physical health and the capacity for physical realizations and achievements, and the Power of Awareness (or the so‑called “Personal Power”), which determines the capacity for understanding and awareness—and therefore the application of knowledge.
The alphabetic system that emerged after the Departure of the Fairies into the Sid in the British Isles was Ogham. Although the earliest Ogham inscriptions date to the fourth century, the system probably goes back to much earlier times; nevertheless it was for a long period scarcely used for writing — indeed, the vast majority of Ogham inscriptions are funerary: epitaphs and sometimes fragments of spells.
We have already said that ceremonial Magic operates predominantly with ministering spirits.
Now it is time to clarify why these Spirits are called Demons or Fallen Angels.
Although Runes as a realizational-magical instrument possess considerable power, they, like all that is embodied, have limits to their capabilities.
In our conversations about the Runes we have repeatedly noted that Runes are a symbolic expression of flows of Power.
I would now like to draw attention to the fact that any Flow can be considered in two ways: on the one hand as a vector with definite coordinates and length, and on the other as the content of that flow, its inner current.
Since echoes of Native American magic reached us, the notion of the “Hunt for Power” has entered common usage, spread, and, as often happens, become profaned.
But is it alien to European magical traditions?
