second floor of a home or in a wide open space.

Eblis
Variations: AZAZEL, the Father of Devils, the
Great SATAN, Haris, Iblees, IBLIS, the SATAN of
Mohammed
There are two stories of Eblis (“despair”). The
first has him as an angel who resided in Azaze,
the Heaven nearest God, but he refused to bow
down to Adam and acknowledge him as a superior creation. He joined the rebel angels and after
the battle he was banished to Hell. There he was
transformed into a SHAITAN, condemned to
haunt ruins and eat unblessed food until Judgment Day.
In the other story of Eblis, he was a DJINN
who was captured in the great war between the
Djinn and the angels. He was taken back to
Heaven, re-educated, and gained angelic status.
He became the Treasurer of the Heavenly Paradise. When Eblis learned that his brother Djinn
had regrouped and were preparing for another
attack on Heaven, Eblis, seeking even more
power, broke free from the angels and returned
to his fellow DJINN to lead them. He became the

chief of all the DJINN, and according to Arabic
and Persian mythology he commands all of the
evil Djinn. Like all Djinn, he was created by God
out of smokeless fire. As a FALLEN ANGEL he has
been given the rank and title of Chief of Those
Who Rebelled. He was the angel who taught
men how to make tools and develop skills that
were forbidden to them.

Edimmu
Variations: Êdimmu, Êkimmu, Ekimmu
An edimmu is a species of ghost from Sumerian mythology. Its name translates to mean “the
seizer.” Akin to many AERIAL DEVILS, the edimmu are invisible and noncorporeal. Created
when a person does not receive proper burial
rites, these demonic ghosts hate the living and
are known for draining away the life of children
while they sleep and attacking the “middle part”
of men. Edimmu have the ability to possess
someone who has broken certain taboos, such as
the consumption of ox meat; they can also cause
disease and inspire criminal behavior. Edimmu

live in the underworld in the kingdom of
Ereshkigal, the goddess of death and gloom,
where they are favored subjects (see IRKALLA).
Fortunately, the destruction of this type of
demon is easy enough, as performing a proper
funeral rite for the body of the deceased will dissolve the demonic being.
