Seeking Recommendation Belphegor

[iononesisto_426]

I am looking for books or notes that include some gnosis about Belphegor, whether in the Qliphothic Tree or in general, as I recently had a dream about a book titled "Belphegor", and I didn't know this name before.


I am seeking recommendations for books and material that clearly explain the concept of Belphegor, Qliphothic Kabbalah, and the Qlipha THAGIRION.


Any suggestions, whether classic grimoires, modern works, or even personal notes, would be greatly appreciated. I am open to both theoretical insights and practical instructions.


Thank you in advance for your help

is probably a good starting point as any. I personally don't subscribe to the school of thought that Goetia demons are just ancient pagan gods ousted by christianity - that may be where their names originally came from but then they were reconceptualised by the old christian grimoires and in the process underwent a change, in my opinion, thus becoming the unprincipled and wilful entities of solomonic magic. Demonolaters now try to reverse that reconceptualisation but to what degree they've been sucessful I can't possible say. One self-published work I find remarkable is Mirta Wake's book because she not only collated all the available information on all Goetia demons but also conjured them up one after the other and added her own UPG.

There has already been a request for recommendations for qliphoth books:

Seeking Recommendation - Good books on Tree of Death Kabbalah?

I have been interested in Kabbalah for some time now. I have practiced many different paths throughout my journey. Most notably the Tree of Life and am currently going through Peter J Carrols syllabus. However, the Tree of Death has always peaked my interest.

@Milton is one of the resident experts on jewish kabbalah and recommends the Karlsson book (in the Library) which is probably as close to Isaac Luria's original thoughts as it gets on the LHP. I myself haven't made a study of the qliphoth yet but from what I gather from Gershom Scholem's books, the quliphoth are NOT the 'evil twins' of the sephiroth but malformed monsters, the results of a botched cosmogenic act; in fact the old jewish kabbalists have often called them 'abortions' - they're maggots in a rotten stinking corpse and not the 'demonolatry chic & darque' noble equivalents of the sephiroth.

Concerning the Tree of Death: The Tree of Life glyph so beloved by hermetic qabbalah only emerged in the 16th century (and please everybody correct me if I'm wrong) in works on christian cabbala, in older jewish kabbalistic texts the specific spatial arrangement of the sephiroth doesn't seem to have been that important - one finds the sephiroth depicted along a single line, within concentric circles or spirals, so neither the Tree of Life glyph nor any equivalent Tree of Death is set in stone. Hmm… I think I'd better ditch that book on Abraham Abulafia (who didn't even believe in the sephiroth - the old kabbalists' doctrines can be infuriatingly complex) I'm reading right now and start of the Karlsson one; I realise now that my own knowledge regarding the qliphoth is rather sketchy, sorry.
