Who's Your Demon?

The Dictionnaire Infernal. Tired of the same old devil costume each Halloween? Why not go as Bael, Asmodeus or Gaap? Written and (wickedly) illustrated during the 1800s, the Dictionaire (annoying sound warning) has the demon you need. Of course, there are other resources. If you have a hard time choosing, try your birth month's demon.

It's comforting to know Tammuz (the demon of the month of September) is also Hell's ambassador to Spain. I wonder where John Bolton is on that list.

I want to believe that every alientated twelve year old kid eventually finds themselves alone in their room, trying to summon Gremory with a spatula, a mirror and a circle of their mom's candles. Or was that just me? By the way, Mefi sounds like a demon name in it's own right.

My demon o' the month is Satan! Yeaaa! That makes up for having a kinda boring birthstone.

Who's this "Stan" guy anyway? And how does one "bring" light? Photons are only occasionally particles. Naw, naw, none of this adds up at all.

Presumably Gaap wears a red T-shirt and donates money to Africa.

Watch it, nasreddin: mind the Gaap.

What? No mention of my namesake Harlequin? For shame. (Yes, my nic is based on the demon known as Harlequin. You gotta problem with that? You think I'm some kinda clown or something? Wanna fight?)

Not surprised to see my namesake demon missing, either.

Hmm. Let me see.... nowonmai = the answer to the question given to Regan, "Who are you?" in The Exorcist. IIRC, according to Father Merrin, the demon was Beelzebub. I can't remember where I saw it, but there was a plate reproduced in full colour (blue water colours, it seemed) of Flauros, which leads me to believe that perhaps others were coloured too. Perhaps it was artistic licence though...

Oh, crap it was Pazuzu, not Beelzebub. Not being included makes sense then, as Pazuzu is Assyrian and Beelzebub is Christian-based (or transformed to Christianity) as are are all Collin de Plancey's demons.
