Is Abaddon an angel or a demon? I watched a TV show called Haunted Hotel and because there was a character called Abaddon it got me interested in learning about demonolgy.

In the show Abaddon is a demon but when I looked up Abaddon outside the show it also called him an angel. I heard in some traditions he's a demon and in others an angel?

Partly why I was also interested in the abyss as a concept. I explained away most magic I expierenced in dreams as just psychology and pyscho-analysis. After learning about it kind of is but there's more to it than that.

Well firstly, stop getting your occult 'knowledge' from TV shows :)

I know there are enormously experienced people on here who can guide you about demonology. We do have a thread about 'Crossing the Abyss' but, frankly, you'll probably be more confused going out than you were coming in...

I personally believe that magic is how to manipulate your own normal conscious processes in order to be 'lucky on purpose', but I realise this is not a popular opinion.

Hmm I tried not get my only source from a TV show. It was just a starting point to let me know more about the occult.

I tried to find other sources. I don't watch a lot of TV because I was too busy for a while. Then I made more time for myself and exploring things that I enjoyed.

I enjoyed that show and thought why not explore the lore of it. I am trying to take this seriously I just started from a not fully serious point like a TV show.

TV shows just helped me to understand my emotions better and how I feel in relation to the world around me.

I mainly ask this because I read from some of the forum posts here because if Abaddon is an angel then I think it changes the rules of working with him. Like has to serve the "greater good?" Whatever that means.

But if he's a demon then basically no rules. But maybe angel is just a title since I look on posts here and people seem to like him? I don't know though that why I asked

I don't think I would want to do work with him if at all. Maybe when I have way more practice and knowledge than the bare bones. But thats maybe.

I kind of just want to learn right now. And process it. I feel a little too depressed to do spells. To do much honestly. But reading about magic that I believe in more helps.

Recovery from what I went through takes time. I'm mostly trying to meditate and sit in silence right now.

I used to watch a lot of TV though when I had time. I watched the original Dragon Ball a lot.
