Goetia aka the Art of Solomon is the book where you can find detailed explanations of how to raise up these 72 demons. You will also find out about their qualities. This gives instructions on how to evoke the 72 demons which were captured by King Solomon the King of Israel. King Solomon captured the demons in a bronze barrel and sealed it shut. It was then thrown into a big lake. The Babylonians found this barrel and thought that it was filled with treasures so they opened it and released the demons and their legions.

When the Babylonians released the demons they believed that Belial was the most powerful and began to worship him.

The Hierarchy of Hell
As we all know through the years there have been many mystical demons that have in fact inhabited all faiths and religions.It was Christianity that was the one to really grasp onto it. Alponso de Spina was a Spanish Franciscan Catholic Bishop that recorded in 1467 that demons could be classified…………
Demons of fate
Goblins
Incubi and Succubi
Wandering groups aka Armies
Familiars
Drudes
Cambions and other demons born from the union of a demon and a human being
Liar
Demons that attack the Saints
Demons that induce old women to attend Withches Sabbaths
One hundred years later Peter Brisfield a German Bishop honed these categories and set then up into the 7 deadly sins………….
Lucifer………pride
Mammon……..greed
Asmodeaus…….lust
Leviathan……envy
Beelzebub…….gluttony
Amon/Satan…..wrath
Belphegor…….sloth
The Hierarchy of Hell: Who’s Who in Lucifer’s Underworld – article by Daz Lawrence
This was just a little bit on my discovery of this subject. I am not saying to go ahead a conjur any of these things up because they can do you more harm than good. They will lie to you and tell you that you can have everlasting life but we all know that is not true.
I also found it really interesting that in fact the Freemasons used King Solomons pyramid for their logo. This will be my next blog folks so keep and eye on the Darkness Within Site and find out about the Freemasons and some of the people in it. You will be as shocked as I was to see all the influential throughout history that were involved. I hope you enjoyed this blog and until next time thank you for your support.
