Devil
The word devil is often incorrectly used interchangeably with the word demon. A devil is a
higher order of spirit compared to a demon. Devil
(“accusers” or “slanderers”) directly refers to the
FALLEN ANGELS who rebelled against God and
are, according to various grimoires, under the
service of LUCIFER.

Devil, The
Variations: Auld (“Old”), Auld Chied, Auld
CLOOTIE, Auld Harry, Auld Nic, Auld Nick,
Auld Sandy, Beelzebul, the Black Fiend, DJALL,
Dreqi, Hal Holt, KUL, Kul-Ater, LUCIFER, Old
Evil, OLD NICK, SATAN, Se Werega (“Wretched
One”), Se werga gast (“wretched spirit”)

In the Judeo-Christian mythology, the Devil
is the ruler of Hell, commanding all other
demons and devils. An anointed FALLEN ANGEL
created by God to enact His divine will, he rebelled and is now considered to be the source of
all evil, the supreme adversary of God and man
alike, an expert tempter and tormenter, a master
of deceit.
Before the sixth century there was no physical
description for the Devil, after which he was described as a small, black, impish figure. As pagan
religions were demonized, the Devil began to
take on aspects of the god Pan, cloven-hoofed
and bearded.
The Devil, as both a name and concept, is used
interchangeably with LUCIFER and SATAN.
