About this ebook

The Dictionary of Demons starts with a simple premise: names have power. In medieval and Renaissance Europe, it was believed that speaking a demon's true name could summon it, compel it, and bind it.

Occult scholar Michelle Belanger has compiled the most complete compendium of demonic names available anywhere, using both notorious and obscure sources from the Western grimoiric tradition. Presented alphabetically from Aariel to Zynextyur, more than 1,500 demons are introduced, explored, and cross-referenced by theme and elemental or planetary correspondence. This meticulously researched reference work features fascinating short articles on demonology and a wealth of woodcuts, etchings, and paintings depicting demons through the ages.

Ratings and reviews

Don't actualy do any of this personally, this just interests me greatly. Still, probably not a good idea to go out of your way to try and bind a demon to your will as though you were Solomon's son. Demons have probably quite a bit more life experience, being immortal and all. Can probably outsmart you. Just sayin'.

It only went to the letter L. I bought a whole book. Will you please send the rest of it?

This is one of the best DEMON books on the app store I totally recommend to DEMON lovers and fans alike!
