Lexicon of Occult Terminology © 2010 Kerr CuhulainDemogorgon (Latin "demogorgo" ("grim demon"): (1) An underworld demon mentioned in medieval literature. (2) One of the Infernal names listed in Anton LaVey's Satanic Bible.Demon (English circa 1200 CE, Layamon's Chronicle of Britain1, Greek "daimon" ("a lesser deity", "a spirit", or "one's genius")): In the original Greek usage, a daimon could be good or bad. It was used by authors such as Homer in almost the same fashion as the word "theos" ("god"). The difference was that "theos" referred to the personality of the deity and "daimon" the deity's activity. Any unexpected occurrences which could not be attributed to a particular deity were attributed to a daimon. Eventually a daimon became known as a power controlling man's fate, and it was believed that everyone had one, which is why one of it's meanings is "one's genius". In The Magus, Barrett states that "every man hath a threefold good demon", a concept very close to the original Greek idea. By Hesiod's time the belief that spirits of the dead became demons had begun. Demons were believed to be more powerful than humans but less powerful than the Gods. It was probably this belief that led the Christians to associate demons with the fallen angels in their mythology. Another influence was the Zoroastrian concept of a hierarchy of evil daevas (devils) commanded by the God Angra Mainyu (later called Ahriman). The daevas were in constant battle with Ahura Mazda, the Good Lord, later known as Ormazd. The Hebrew word for demons is "shedim". They were also referred to as "se'irim" ("hairy demons"). These two terms were commonly applied by the Hebrews to foreign gods. Their leader was Satan, Belial, Beelzebub or Mastema. Later additions to this list included Lucifer, Mammon, Asmodeus, Leviathan and Belphegor. In common modern Christian usage, the word demon refers to an evil spirit. In 1612 C.E. Father Sebastien Michaelis claimed to have communicated with a demon named Balberith during an exocism of a nun in Aix En Provence. Balberith listed a number of demons which Michaelis published in his book Admirable History. Michaelis listed three heirarchies of demons. Since it was believed that these were fallen angels the categories within these heirarchies bore the same names as those of the angelic hosts:

(5) Lou Sloat's Texas Ritualistic Crime Information Network Occult Crime Manual lists “Diabolus [sic]” as “Two morsels, kill body and soul."2 Sloat apparently thinks that the correct spelling should be “diabolus”, which would break down into the same prefix, “dia” (which also means “dividing into two parts”) and “bolus” (“a round mass”). Bolus is a medical term referring to the chewed up mass of food on it’s way to one’s stomach. So you can see how Sloat came up with this interpretation, though he based it on an incorrect spelling of the term that he clearly intended. Dial: (1) Enochian. Var. of D Ialprt (q.v.).

Eighteen shells are removed from the sopera and two (the addele) are kept aside. The remaining sixteen shells are dropped on a small carpet (estera) and the patterns (oddu) thus created interpreted. If all of the shells fall face down, the Santero says "Se me fue il caracol de la mano" ("The seashells left my hand.") This is taken as a sign of bad fortune. Non initiates are only allowed to use twelve caracoles. Those who are particularly adept at reading the Diloggun are called Italeros.

He seems to have borrowed it from Francois Rabelais's novel Gargantua and Pantagruel ("Fay Ce Que Voudras"). Rabelais had, in turn, borrowed it from St. Augustine, who had written “Love God and Do What Thou Wilt”, omitting “Love God”. Rabelais had placed “Do What Thou Wilt” over the gateway of Friar John’s fantasy of the perfect monastery in Gargantua and Patagruel. He intended this to promote his own vision of the ideal libertine lifestyle. Often Crowley’s version is quoted out of context, the person quoting it omitting the line that usually follows it: "Love is the Law: Love Under Will".Doagnis: (1) A governor of the aethyr or aire Arn listed in Liber Scientiae, Auxili et Victoriae Terrestris, in Liber Vel Chanokh and in the magical system of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

Poss. deriv. Celtic "Dru" ("very" or "assuredly") and "Wid" ("wise" or "all knowing", deriv. Indo European root "wid", meaning "to know"): The Druids were the philosophers of the Celtic tribes, whose profession included remembering all knowledge of the time, since the Celts had an oral tradition, rather than a written one. Although the Celts had an alphabet (Ogham), they did not use written language much, except to mark a few monuments. There is a great deal of misinformation about the Druids, partially because not much has survived and partially because various groups and individuals in modern times have created their own "Druid" beliefs, using varied sources and a great deal of imagination. Despite many claims that the Druids used sites such as Stonehenge for their worship, no one has found any Pre-Christian inscription of the name Druid on any monument anywhere in the world. Surviving literature reports that they used sacred groves, which they called "Nemeton", instead.Druid of Menapienne: An obscure grimoire from France.Druj: The kingdom of the daevas (See Demon) ruled by Angra Mainyu or Ahriman (See Angra Mainyu, Ahriman). Drums: (1) Drums are an essential part of ritual in Santeria and Vodou. A group of drums is called a Battery. Each Battery and each individual drum a specific name and purpose. The three drum battery in Santeria is called the Bataa (q.v.). Their equivalent in Candomble are the Brazillian Atabaques. The drums of this battery are named Iya, Itotele and Okonkolo. Okonkolo sets a constant beat which is the base upon which Iya and Itotele "speak" to one another. These drums are ritually consecrated, those having been consecrated being known as Ilu Ana. Those that are not consecrated are known as Aberinkula. (2) In Santeria a drum ceremony is known by the Spanish name for a drum: Tambor. It is also known as a Bembe or a Guemilere. It commences with the Oru, the rythyms called Toques (q.v.) played to honor the Orishas. Songs that are sung to the beat of the bataa (drums) in Santeria are called Cantos De Puya. (3) In Vodou the drums are called the Tambour. With a few exceptions, the drums of the Vodou batteries have goatskin or bullhide heads. There are several different batteries and types of drum. The Rada battery incorporates three drums: the Manman or Adjunto, the Second and the Bula. The Pethro battery has two drums: The Manman or Gros Baka and the Pititt or Ti Baka. The Congo battery has three drums: The Manman, the Timebal and the Ti Congo. The Ibo battery is similar to the Pethro battery but has sheepskin heads. There are three other special drums in Vodou: The first is the Assotor drum, a 6 foot drum made of special woods that is only to be played by those possessed by the Lwas. The second is a small cask drum with one head called the Djuba or Martinique drum which is played only when the Lwa Zaka demands it. The third is the Tambour Maringuin or Mosquito Drum which is associated to the Lwa Guede (q.v.). A drum stick is known as a Baguette. The Rada drum called the Second is played with a curved wooden bow stick called the Agida. The Houn'gans who play the drums in Vodou ritual are known as Houn'torguiers. Each houn'torguier has an official title: Manmanier, Secondier and Boulahier. The drums used in the Vodou ceremony are said to be possessed or "mounted" by the Lwas by a process known as "a dya". As in Santeria they are ritually consecrated. There are two principal ceremonies for this: One is the Baille-Tambours-Mange ("Feeding the Drums") and the other is the Coucher-Tambours ("Putting the Drums to Bed"). (4) Special rhythyms are used by drummers in Santeria and Vodou to summon the deities and spirits. In Santeria these are known as Toques (q.v.). Each Toque is dedicated to a particular Orisha (q.v.) and are always played in a particular order, according to the rank of the Orisha being called. In Vodou a special rhythym called Batterie Maconnique, produced by the clapping of hands
