Deception
Named in Babylonian, Jewish, and Solominic
lore, Deception was one of the demonic goddesses
who was bound by King Solomon and made to
dig the foundation of his Temple (see SPIRITS OF
SOLOMON). She is named as the second of the
SEVEN HEAVENLY BODIES and as one of the
thirty-three (or thirty-six, sources vary) elements
of the cosmic rulers of the darkness.
In the Testament of Solomon, Deception is described as one of seven female spirits, all fair in
appearance, bound and woven together, represented as a cluster of stars in the heavens (see
SPIRITS OF SOLOMON). They travel about sometimes living in Lydia, or Olympus, or on a great
mountain. Deception is known for ability to deceive, excite and whet heresies, and the weaving
of snares. Her personal adversary is the angel
Lamechalal.

Demogorgon
Variations: “God of the Earth,” GORGO, Master of the Fates
Although Demogorgon is a Greek word meaning ”demon-Gorgon,” or “terrible demon,” the

of the Underworld. The Demogorgon is a powerful being who created all the gods and the universe. Speaking his name aloud is taboo and
doing so will cause a great calamity to happen.
