So, I've been down some rabbit holes...
Read some books, some of them pretty weird.
Even some Satanic Grimoires, and not the kind you'll find at a Hot Topic.
Like, the real stuff. The ones that read like law manuals on how to spiritually rape demons for favors and such.
And I've come to the conclusion that the Unholy Trinity is set up like a Corporation.
That Corporation is titled Satan™.
Which stands for "Adversary" -- Adversary meaning "Against the Word"
And the Word is God (Universe = "One Word")
So, let's break down the structure of the Corporation, Satan™.
There are three primary departments with their own CEO's:
- Lucifer - Public Image, Marketing, and Company Direction
- Beelzebub(Ba'al) - Human Resources, Research & Development, and Lateral Growth
- Astaroth - Accounting, Asset Management, Contracts, Mailing & Filing, Industry and Zoning
Satanists actually don't really hide it either... It's not really a secret...
Let's just take a gander at Astaroth for a moment, for validation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astaroth
Astaroth (also Ashtaroth, Astarot and Asteroth), in demonology, was known to be the Great Duke of Hell in the first hierarchy with Beelzebub and Lucifer; he was part of the evil trinity. He is known to be a male figure most likely named after the Near Eastern goddess Astarte ... According to Sebastien Michaelis, he is a demon of the First Hierarchy, who seduces by means of laziness, self-doubt, and rationalized philosophies ... To others, he teaches mathematical sciences and handicrafts, can make men invisible and lead them to hidden treasures, and answers every question formulated to him. He was also said to give to mortal beings the power over serpents.
Just one example...
Each department, between Lucifer, Beelzebub, and Astaroth, all have their own assistants that help them out on a day-to-day.
The Bible refers to these as demonic generals.
Some notable ones include Baphomet, Minerva (known by her messenger Owl), and Moloch.
Typically, though, the ones that have all the animalistic junk associated with them are in the domain of Beelzebub.
Which sorta drives home the purpose of me writing this.
I want to talk about these demons and recognize them for what their spheres of influence entail. I often see the Moloch, Ba'al, and Lucifer terms being thrown around, but I doubt many understand just which entities they are describing.
I know it's more of a pet peeve, but I think it's important, just like how it's important to understand how a military force is organized. It's stupid to assume all the military is just one big blob of dudes with guns. There is the Air Force, Army, Marines, Space Force, Navy, etc... Treating them all alike is a foolish move should you seek to challenge them in combat, so why would it be any different for us versus the army of Satan?
Anyways, I'm gonna start and end by describing the big three demons we're dealing with as I understand them from my research. God gave all his Angels Authority to act in the world with goals tailored towards their particular traits, but some sought to abuse that Authority and instead turned against God out of disgust for the Man creature...
Astaroth is the pencil pusher. He's the dude in the back office everyone forgets about, but without him the Corporation falls apart. He's the foundation of sand upon which the sordid mess rests upon.
In academics, Astaroth is the purveyor of lies and deceit in statistics as well as philosophy. He's like the dirty lawyer who spends all day and night looking for loopholes to exploit and scams to pull on people.
He's the guy who plans obsolescence in all products, sucks the soul out of the creative process, and strives to have everyone work like ambitionless and empty husks -- just machines pecking away under a fluorescent light. He gets his jollies off seeing people wither away by toil and pursue pointless endeavors.
He's the patron of all those hedge funds and accounting firms that cook the books to pull the wool over the eyes of clueless investors and suckers who are born every day.
You'll never hear about him, but when the prices go up you'll hear his tune being played like the clacking of a keyboard fudging the numbers and the scribbling of a pen signing your soul away in a predatory contract.
Beelzebub is the consumption, the cancer, the creep; the wanton growth and corruption of all things, especially and including before their time to be consumed, such as abortion and child sacrifice.
He is the most "physically present" of the three CEO's, as his domain is that of life and the proliferation thereof.
Beelzebub is all about excess and harvesting before something's time to be harvest comes around. He is fascinated in sacrificing humans, especially the young, and encouraging humans to pursue acts of personal bodily mutilation.
Beelzebub is behind all the wanton acts of sexual degeneration and depravity we are seeing. He is a hedonistic creep, as to be the very definition of creep. Every time someone creepy looks at you and you get the heebeejeebees, you're probably feeling the influence of Beelzebub through them -- tempting them to tear your clothes off and/or your flesh.
For the more empathic among you, you'll understand when I say Beelzebub is like the strangling jungle brush which writhes and devours all that lands before it. It's the bucket of crabs pulling down any who try to leave. It's the mold that crawls along damp and dark places seeking anything with nutrients to foul.
That's the realm of Beelzebub.
He's the physical enforcer of the three, and his generals are the most popular because they are the most primal and instinctually understood by the human condition.
You can visualize Beelzebub as a writhing mass of flesh and body parts of all animals. A blob which consumes all, and contains within it all the most disgusting aspects of life; a visage in mockery of God's Creation and the less attractive things therein.
Lucifer is the gargoyle of the opera. He's the string puller who prowls about the night sky leading all the stars in a discordant symphony.
Lucifer is the Dawn Star, and the Prince of the Air.
You're LIVE on Air!
His angel name before the fall is Hay'lel, which means "Praise of God" or "The Shining One" or "Bringer of Light" or "The Light Bearer"
Another way of saying Lucifer is the Spotlight of God's stage. He's the one who was given Authority to direct the attention of the Universal Stage.
He oversees the Firmament and the Popular Happenings of the celebrity world.
In other words, Lucifer's pet is the Beast we call The Media.
"Look at this" is his favorite phrase.
In modern parlance, it's more like "look here, not there".
Lucifer was tasked to "Announce the Good News" to God's Creation, and so he was the first to learn of the Man creature and became disgusted. He is the Father of the Lie and convinced Beelzebub and Astaroth to join him in rebellion, leading to their collective Fall with a third of all other angels.
Lucifer is the director and planner, with a silver tongue; the public face and front man who tempts all to follow his tune like a director on stage with his fancy wand.
Word games, changing definitions, hidden meanings, and whispers of doubt are all within the sphere of Lucifer.
He is the most intelligent of God's Creatures, clever to a fault, and his greatest sin is nothing more than believing his own lies. All other acts of Evil stem from his singular decision to believe his own lie which is the official motto of the Satanic Corporation:
You shall be like God, without God.
Pride, therefore, was his downfall, and with his pride he deigns all to follow his lead in a landslide to hell.
Every word that reeks foul and exits the lips of news anchors -- the spew of Propaganda and Slander (Devil means "slanderer of God/the Word") originates from his foul mouth.
He leaves it to Beelzebub and Astaroth to do all the dirty stuff behind the curtain, while Lucifer gets on stage and sells the next product like a Snake Oil Salesmen playing the pied piper's flute to the children of the village.
He has a forked tongue, which is to say that he speaks both the truth and fallacies all for the sake of manipulating the foolish. He will abuse and corrupt sentiments, like compassion and empathy, to confuse and delude those who listen eagerly to what they wish to hear because it is convenient and/or might briefly settle their nerves and doubts.
In reality, he sows doubts with the promise of relieving them.
Lucifer is so charismatic and attractive, as to be the definition of them. None, and I mean it, NONE of us here can hope to withstand his direct presence and temptation so long as you have even a single nick on the wall of your Faithful Heart. He WILL find the crevasse and drill upon it until nothing is left but dust and ruin.
Personally, I've been shown Lucifer in his current form, and it's not the horned red devil we've come to know from stories like Dante's Inferno or other popular media.
I hesitate to describe him otherwise, honestly, as I feel just knowing what he looks like will open many to his influence -- he's that compelling of a figure. He's strikingly beautiful and brings out the worst of all your imaginable vices in every way. This is the one thing I feel as though it's best to remain ignorant in unless you are one of those foolishly courageous (proud) souls willing to draw the attention of the most foul of mouths in Creation. You don't need his attention, and God will not merit your efforts to withstand it, as it will only be an act of foolish pride like trying to snatch meat out of the mouth of a lion.
I would compare Lucifer's attention to being canceled on social media, but instead of just on the internet it's in every facet of life. Everything will reject you. It's not a fun time, and I cannot claim I've weathered the storm thus far unsinged by merely the sight of him. I've not felt his presence, mind you, and I pray to God that such a fate is spared from everyone, so I'll cut the visual description of him off here.
Lucifer wants nothing more than for you to prove him right before the Court of God -- that Man kind is not worthy of existence; that Man is a foul thing whose malice towards their own kind is so potent and violent a force that it will be the undoing of God's Creation.
That is the rational of Lucifer's war on Humanity. He wants to show God how we are a mistake. God's only mistake.
He wants to prove to God that Humanity will be the death of God and his Creation.
To do that, he points out to God each day his most "loyal" dancing monkeys saying:
"Look at how willingly they go against your Word! Be rid of them like dust from your sole. Put me back in the place of the Most High, so that I may return to praising you! I cannot praise you for this... thing... you've grafted upon your once perfect Creation!"
Again... The Pride of Lucifer, the Dwarf Star, knows no bounds... He seeks to inform God, the Creator of all things, how his Creation should be managed.
Lucifer is like the disloyal butler who thinks he is doing the Master's bidding as he plots to trick and coerce the guests into getting thrown out of the Mansion.
He seeks to tell God how to be God.
Just as he seeks to tell you what reality is.
The mind games of "what is a woman" are the doing of Lucifer.
Redefining reality. Forcing upon us a fantasy as though the world is a stage full of actors just playing parts. Convincing us that we are worth nothing but a fictional act and a whimsical musing of God.
Preying on the compassion and good will of man...
You may have all the wealth and all the nations should you bow down to me! Imagine what good you can do in the world with what I will give you, if you merely submit to my will!
Lucifer seeks to redefine what a Human is. To remake Humanity in HIS image, not in the image of God.
Among the three, and all the demons of the Satanic Corporation, none is more vile than Lucifer, yet we cannot look away when he speaks. He is an enchanting thing, like a train crash. You can't look away, no matter how disgusted and saddened you are -- because deep down there is a nugget of truth in the flaws of Man's heart.
A truth which Lucifer gleefully spins with words and temptation to be our undoing. Therefore, he is the peak of Evil -- taking that which is of God's making and corrupting it before all good things.
Anyways... I just thought that would help you figure out what enemies we're up against. I've written this out once before, but thought I'd drag it out again if only for personal reference.
Put on the Amor of God.
Things are about to get kinetic, I feel...
God Bless and Keep you!
Moreover, the use of constant blood transfusions alters the pheromones of the physical body. I have been around one such person, I suspect. I imagine that politicians smell similarly to (or worse-than) this man.
He has friends on Wall Street, and served to bring money (energy) into their false system. He smelled foul, he was smooth-talking, and far more cogent than his age would suggest.
Flies are attracted to foul odors.
PS: Thank you for the contents of your posts. I am very tempted to search out the esoteric and spiritual nature (gnostic) of this world, but I am resisting. Your summaries and warnings reveal that I truly do not wish to delve that depth.
I'm not joking when I say this...
Go outside. Sit in the dirt with your shoes off. Play with the bugs and the grass.
Watch the ants. Talk to them. If you're lucky you'll stumble upon a frog or grasshopper.
Just sit there, and look at the dirt on a level you rarely get to. Look at things like a kid trying to figure out what everything means.
When you get down to the ground and stare up at the clouds, imagine what the world would be like if they didn't dance just the way they do. Take a little crumb of mud and squish it in your fingers to powder.
Find a rock and try to see a shape or figure in it just like you do when you watch those clouds.
Rocks. Clouds. They are the same. Fuel for imagination. Dust from whence we came and eventually return.
But that Dust when compressed builds rocks. Rocks build walls. Walls build Nations.
Seeing those relationships. Imagining what things could be rather than just what they are -- something as more than the sum of their parts...
That's what it means to be human. That's what God gave us that makes us different from every other creature in God's Creation.
We are the Dreamers. We are the Movers. We Do things for purposes all to our own. Purposes known only by God.
Go outside. Sit in the grass like you used to as a kid and remember by forgetting. Remember that time when you looked in wonder at even the tiniest thing stumbling along just doing what it does.
There's no need to always dive into the deep end. There's no reason to rush towards the end of the book. It's okay to sometimes go back and read from the very beginning. Sometimes you'll notice things you missed. It makes the ending all the sweeter.
This is good advice, and I thank you for it. Hopefully, I can make some time, soon.
I work, professionally, as a chemist, which frequently exposes me to the materialistic lies of Astaroth and Lucifer. As I'm sure you know, chemistry has its origins in the occult practice of Alchemy, whose "sacred texts" include the Emerald Tablet and Qabbalah. Recently, though, my spiritual awakening has affirmed the philosophical doctrine of Berekleian Immaterialism and the divinity of Jesus Christ (Yeshua).
The Holy Spirit revealed to me that the Hermetic Axiom (As Above, So Below; Microcosm in Macrocosm and Macrocosm in Microcosm) is false. This revelation has caused a fundamental change in me, much for the better. Unlearning the Ad-Versary's lies has been difficult. The following scriptural verses, among others, have reinforced this teaching.
"What is born of the flesh is flesh [that is, what is Below], and what is born of the Spirit is Spirit [Pneuma, or what is Above]." [John 3:6, bracketed additions are mine] and "He said to them 'You are from below, and I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.' " [John 8:23]
Note: I have not read the Qabbalah, although I am tempted. The following YT Vid taught me that the Tree of Life "maps out the divine structure of Man." Prior insight into the Lies has taught me that the "Tree of Life" is a pale imitation of God's Creation. What it would seem to me (untrained in occultism) is that the Tree of Life is Lucifer's understanding of what God did. Although Lucifer attempted to give each "domain" over to a different demon/sin, whereas God designed every aspect (whatever they might actually be) to be filled with His Word and Law.

And, apologies. This information has been weighing on my mind. I didn't mean to dig so deep with this reply, but most others see spiritual discussions (in the "real world") as the rantings of crazy people.
