Who are the nine divinities?

I had already spoken briefly about them in the first part, but the nine divinities are the demons of the fundamental energy of the universe, of existence and balance, according to the Dukante hierarchy.

Fire – Flereous

Earth – Belial

Air – Lucifer

Water – Leviathan

Health – Verrine

Destruction – Amducious

Life – Unsere

Death – Euronymous

(Some people may disagree with this list, though. Or they may reorder the list with other elements.)

"Tasa Reme Laris Satan - Ave Satanis"

Satan, for the demonolators, is the all, the ether. Many New Agers call his energy “the source.” He is associated with everything: all seasons, months, directions — you get the idea.

He is the eternal spirit, the divine that we are all part of and to which we all have a connection. Satan is known to appear as a wise old man with silver hair and black eyes.

Honestly, it's hard to write about him without sounding like you're repeating yourself over and over again. "The All" is the perfect description for him. He is known for assisting in spiritual enlightenment and guidance.

Direction: Center/All;

Color: All;

Months: All;

Seasons All;

Rituals: any

Flereous

"Ganic Tasa Fubin Flereous"

Flereous is the elemental demon of fire! He is seen as destructive, but also creative. This is because although fire is a destructive force, it also provides us with life in the form of the sun. We cannot exist without fire.

Flereous is associated with warm things and ideas, including the direction of the south, warm colors (red, orange), June, and summer. He is commonly invoked in demonic baptism rituals, action rituals, love rituals, and at the summer solstice.

Flereous is seen as a demon with an excellent balance between the physical, mental and spiritual. He is also associated with the spark of life from which we all come, connecting his energy to that of Satan.

Working with Flereous is a transformative work. He helps demonolators become more confident in themselves and their practice. The best way to describe this transformation is to say that he molds the practitioner into a tiger.

Direction: South;

Color: Red, Orange;

Month: June;

Season: Summer;

Ritual: Baptism, action, love, solstice

Belial

"Lirach Tasa Vefa Wehlc Belial"

Belial is the elemental demon of the earth! He is a demon of the physical and mental, bringing awareness to the beauty in all things.

Belial has associations with colder, earthly elements, including the direction north, the colors brown, black, and green, December, and winter. He is commonly invoked in winter solstice rituals, rituals of new beginnings, and initiations.

Belial is a demon of independence and self-development. He assists in professional growth and the achievement of new titles. He reminds us to experience the world in whatever way we wish, without giving in to pressure from others.

In other beliefs, Belial is associated with fire. Do some research and find out which one resonates with you the most!

Direction: North;

Colors: Green, Brown, Black;

Month: December;

Season: Winter;

Ritual: initiation, new beginnings, winter solstice.

Lucifer

"Renich Tasa Uberaca Blasa Icar Lucifer"

Lucifer is an air elemental demon and possibly the most popular on this list. As an air elemental, he is a great advocate for freedom and one’s own path. He is a wise demon and often shares his knowledge with his devotees.

Lucifer is a symbol of divine masculinity. He is also a demon of the spiritual and mental, helping lost souls find their way. He is called the "bringer of light" because light represents the freedom he grants to all who seek it.

Lucifer has associations with spring, being linked to the colors white and yellow, the month of March and the rituals of enlightenment, initiation and the spring equinox.

When you come into contact with Lucifer, expect to be encouraged to think for yourself. He helps you connect and find your own path. Some see him as having feminine and androgynous aspects, though he traditionally represents the masculine. Do your research and decide for yourself what makes the most sense to you!

Direction: East;

Colors: White Yellow;

Month: March;

Season: Spring;

Ritual: Enlightenment, spring equinox, initiations.

Leviathan

"Jaden Tasa Hoet Naca Leviathan"

Leviathan is the elemental demon of water! Being an aquatic being, he is associated with emotions and judgment. He is an extremely androgynous demon, being referred to as both empress and emperor.

Leviathan rules over everything related to the mind, especially emotional and mental strength. He aids in the development of resistance against the currents of fate. Leviathan also rules over the abyss and the void, and is called the "abyssal serpent."

Its elements are autumnal, but it extends beyond that aesthetic. Its colors are blue and gray, its month is September, its season is fall, and its rituals include emotion, initiation, fertility, healing, and the autumn equinox.

When working with Leviathan, expect to confront your deepest emotions, especially those you’ve been hiding. He is a powerful draconian demon who demands respect, so be courteous when communicating with him.

Leviathan is also the demon of judgment. When invoked in destructive magic, it is said to strip away the target's defenses so that the magic can reach them.

Direction: West;

Colors: Blue, Gray;

Month: September;

Season: Autumn;

Ritual: emotions, initiation, equinox, healing, fertility.

Verrine

"Elan Typan Verrine"

Verrine is a creative demon, inspiring his followers to discover ways to heal and heal themselves and others. He is a great teacher when it comes to overcoming trauma and scars from the past.

Verrine is the health demon! There aren't many sources on him but he is associated with healing and well-being, most often invoked in these types of rituals. He is associated with the northwest direction and the colors blue and white. His month is November, at the end of autumn.

Direction: Northwest;

Colors: Blue, white;

Month: November;

Season: Late Autumn;

Ritual: healing.

Amducious

"Denyen Valocur Avage Secore Amducious"

Amducious is the destroyer within the Dukante hierarchy. While this title may suggest a dark demon, destruction on the Left Hand Path is seen as something positive and necessary for growth.

It is associated with the southeast direction, the color orange, the month of May, the end of spring, and rituals of war, action, and the removal of obstacles.

In the Complete Book of Demonolatry, S. Connolly writes that Amducious represents "the mastery of the will over the physical." While it may seem destructive, it teaches self-control and personal transformation.

He is not a demon who promotes war, but rather a mentor who helps overcome mental and emotional blocks.

Direction: Southeast.

Colors: Orange;

Month: May;

Season: Late Spring;

Ritual: war, action, dispel old.

Unsere

"Unsere Tasa Lirach On Ca Ayar"

Unsere is the demoness of life (and witchcraft)! Just as Lucifer symbolizes masculinity, Unsere represents femininity. She is the manifestation of life from birth through all its stages.

She is associated with the northeast direction, the colors green and white, the month of February, the end of winter and rituals of motherhood, wisdom and patience.

Unsere is said to appear to women at the time of childbirth to breathe life into their newborns. She wears a cow-hooded cloak, symbolically connecting her to these animals.

Not only does she rule birth, but she also reminds us to enjoy the little moments in life. As you work with her, expect to be encouraged to slow down and appreciate the present more.

Treat her with respect and avoid harsh language. Unsere may be serious, but she also has a gentle side. By the end of your work with her, you will find that you have learned to live more fully.

Direction: Northeast;

Colors: Green and White;

Month: February;

Season: Late Winter;

Ritual: Wisdom, patience, motherhood.

Euronymous

“Ayar secore on ca Euronymous”

Euronymous is the demon of death. While the energy of death can literally mean the end of life, it can also represent transformation. Within Left Hand Path practices: death, destruction, and similar concepts often symbolize change and renewal, and not necessarily literal harm. Thus, Euronymous is not only the demon of death but also of rebirth.

However, his essence is directly linked to the energy of death. He is often invoked by those preparing for necromancy practices or any work related to the world of the dead. Some people ask Euronymous to impregnate them with his energy before rituals involving spirits, so that they can better accustom themselves to this vibration. He is also called upon for funerals, guiding the souls of death for the place they'll rest.

Euronymous is associated with the transition from summer to winter, reflecting the passing of the seasons and the cyclical transformation from life to death.

He is described as a shadow, a specter, or an old man with translucent white hair and white eyes. He is said to carry with him the Book of the Dead.

Euronymous doesn't have much information independent of his Greek associations, so if you're interested, it's worth researching that side of him further.

Northwest. Colors:

Black and White;

Month: October;

Season: Late Autumn;

Ritual: New beginnings, death, rebirth, celebration of death, Halloween.

Working with them

In Demonolatry, the magician does not use a triangle or a circle of protection, as contact with these energies will not be aggressive or hostile, and we will not need banishments and threats, here we work with partnership and mutual respect.

Here, evocation (the act of binding them as is done in goetia) is seen as disrespectful. The ideal is for the magician to magnetize the demon's energy to achieve what he wants by joining forces in an invocation, which is when the magician and the demon will interact by exchanging energies.

When calling the demons into your ritual circle, the traditional way to do it is to use the enn, or an invocation of your own devise, and use the ritual dagger or your hand to draw the following in the air in front of you, starting at the arrow and ending at the dot:

The invocation symbol above is often refered to as the ZD or DZ sigil. It is also used as a sigil representing Satan. Within the ZD are nine points representing the nine demonic divinities. The symbol is one fluid motion and is encircled as a sigil to represent the whole encircling all its parts.

It starts with the closest point of the arrow with Unsere, then it's Lucifer, then it's Flereous, then it's Verrine, then it's Belial, then Amducious, then Leviathan, Satan and finally it ends at the point with Eurynomous.

The ZD is also employed to invoke each Demon, no matter which one, with respect to the nine. Some common courtesies (to avoid disrespect toward the Demons) when invoking: Don't command or be aggressive with the demons!!!! Nor stab the ritual blade into the air!!

Ritual tools

This is, by no means, something you must really have. Demonolatry is your path and your own, those tools or working this way might not be for you, and that's ok because you can adapt yourself and your tools to do what you want.

Though, according to Paulo - Guia de Demonolatria, those are the tools every demonolater should have:

"The tools we will need are a temple, an altar covered with a black cloth, items that represent the four elements on the altar, and a dagger or athame or knife with a black handle.

The dagger is to draw in the air a symbol of opening and closing the pillars of each elemental demon. The color of the handle is black, because this color attracts and concentrates energies more easily. If you are in doubt, go out on a sunny day wearing black clothes. A black shirt will attract all the light wave frequencies, causing heat. Candles and incense according to the correspondence of the demon you are going to work with.

A metal bowl to burn the seal and the request. Burning the demon's seal with your blood, or sexual fluid, in Demonolatry is not seen as disrespectful to the demon, but rather signifies sending a small amount of your vital energy to the entity transmuted by the element of fire.

In the ritual, it is advisable to burn the seal and also another piece of paper with your requests."

梅[Ume] Prunus mume

Today, March 3, is the forth day of 如月[Kisaragi](The second month) in the lunar calendar. It is snowing today in the Kantō region, which had been warm and sunny until yesterday. And it is expected to continue for two more days.

寒梅や雪の中にも花の意地

[Kanbai ya yuki no naka nimo hana no iji] Trying to bloom in the midst of falling snow, it is the pride of Kanbai(Ume which blossoms in winter) Author unknown; from 俳諧拾万集冬の部[Haikai jūman shū, Fuyu no bu](Hundred Thousand Collections of Haikai, The Winter Section) Source: https://dl.ndl.go.jp/pid/875379/1/73 It was published in the mid-Meiji period(1893), and the most of them are probably from the Edo period(1603-1868).

Well, there is a traditional type of sandal called 雪駄[Setta]. 雪[Setsu|Yuki] means snow, in this case 駄[-ta|Da] means footware. On rainy or snowy days, ordinary 草履[Zōri](Sandals made of straw) gets the feet wet, but the entire underside of Setta is covered with leather to keep them dry. As an aside, each heel has two or three pieces of metal embedded in it, which make a sound when user walks. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Settanoura.jpeg

This morning, when I took out a rain footware and saw my setta in the shoe box, remembered the following story in 耳嚢[Mimibukuro].

義は命より重き事近き頃の事とや如何成ものゝ身の果なるや兩國橋にて袖乞しける浪人四五才の子を連て徃來へ合力を願けるか或日徃來の情もなくて一錢も貰ひ得さりしに其子空腹になりしや頻りに泣て不止親も不便に思ひて辻に出し餅賣に此もの空腹にて歎けとも未一錢も貰ひ得す後程貰ひなは遣すへく候間一ツ商吳候樣に申けれは餅賣聞て我等も今朝より商なし難(成) よしつれなく申けれはいとゝ其子は泣き叫ひけるに側に居し石駄直しの非人有合錢を出し遣し甚難儀也立替進んする由申けれは忝なき由厚く禮いふて彼餅を調其子に與へ徃來へ願ひて錢乞受彼非人へ戾し其子を橋の上より川中に投入我身も續て入水して果しとなり

[Gi wa inochi yori omoki koto Chikaki koro no koto toya. Ika naru mono no mi no hate naru ya, ryōgokubashi nite sodegoi shikeru rōnin, shi go sai no ko wo tsurete ōrai e kōryoku wo negai keru ga, aru hi ōrai no nasake mo nakute issen mo morai ezarishi ni, sono ko sukibara ni narishi ya, shikiri ni nakite yamazu. Oya mo fubin ni omoite tsuji ni ideshi mochiuri ni "kono mono sukibara nite nagekedomo, imada issen mo morai ezu. Nochi hodo morainaba kaesu beki aida hitotsu akinai kure sōrō yō" ni mōshi kereba, mochiuri kikite, "warera mo kesa yori akinai nashi, nari gataki" yoshi tsurenaku mōshi kereba, itodo sono ko wa naki sakebi keruni katawara ni orishi setta naoshi no hinin, ariai no zeni wo idashi tsukawashi, "hanahada nangi nari. Tatekae shinzuru" yoshi mōshi kereba, katajikenaki yoshi atsuku rei iute ka no mochi wo totonoe, sono ko ni atae ōrai e negaite zeni koi uke ka no hinin e modoshi, sono ko wo hashi no ue yori kawanaka ni nageire, wa ga mi mo tsuzukite jusui shite hateshi to nari.]

The story that honor is more important than life This is said to have happened recently (a day in the Edo period, 1603-1868). A rōnin(wandering samurai without a master to serve) who has completely fallen low with a four or five year old child was begging on Ryōgoku Bridge, expecting passersby to give them money. One day, the child must have been hungry because the rōnin could not receive mercy from passersby and no money at all, and cried incessantly. The rōnin felt sorry for the child and said to a rice cake vendor on the side of the road, "Even though this child is hungry and crying, we still have not received money at all. I will pay later when it is given to us, but in the meantime, may I have a piece of rice cake?" The rice cake vendor heard it, but said in a cold tone, "We also haven't sold at all since this morning, so we can't do anything about it." Hearing this, the child cried more and more, so a hinin(the lowest level of human being in those days) who was repairing setta(s) nearby offered him what money he had and said, "You seem to be in a very difficult situation. So I will pay for it on your behalf." The rōnin thanked him from the bottom of the heart, got that rice cake, and gave it to the child. And, after asking a passerby for money and returning it to the hinin, he threw the child over the bridge into the river, then he himself jumped in and died, they said. Source: https://dl.ndl.go.jp/pid/898501/1/143 https://maps.app.goo.gl/D1T8mT7pNxYoPrAC8

This was apparently a real event, as there are similar stories in other books. There is some range in the meaning of 義[Gi]. Generally, it is closer to the meaning of morality, but in this case closer to honor. In passing, 義理[Giri] means sense of duty, 仁義[Jingi] means humanity and justice, etc.

I have seen many translations of 奥 as “back”, but it depends. In the straight direction in front of you, the closest is “手前” and the furthest is “奥”.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫「ふむ…」（何(なん)の変哲(へんてつ)もないただの銅鏡(どうきょう)に見(み)えるが…）

Maomao “Fumu…” (Nan’no hentetsu’mo-nai tada’no dokyo’ni mieru-ga…)

Maomao (It looks like an ordinary copper mirror, but…)

何の変哲もない(なんのへんてつもない/Nan’no hen-tetsu’mo nai): nothing special, completely ordinary

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫「透光鑑(とうこうかん)と呼(よ)ばれることもある、跳(は)ね返(かえ)した光(ひかり)が絵(え)や文字(もじ)になる、摩訶不思議(まかふしぎ)な鏡(かがみ)です。作(つく)る際(さい)に鏡面(きょうめん)に凹凸(おうとつ)を施(ほどこ)して、絵(え)や文字(もじ)を映(うつ)すそうです。かなりの技術(ぎじゅつ)が必要(ひつよう)だと、養父(ようふ)から聞(き)いたことがあります」

Maomao “Toko-kan-to yobareru-koto’mo aru, hane-kaeshita hikari’ga e’ya moji’ni naru, maka-fushigi-na kagami desu. Tsukuru-sai’ni kyomen’ni o-totsu’o hodokoshite, e’ya moji’o utsusu-so-desu. Kanari’no gijutsu’ga hitsuyo-dato, yofu’kara kiita-koto’ga ari-masu.”

Maomao “It’s a very special mirror that can reflect light and turn it into an image or text. I hear it’s built by applying bumps into the mirror face. I’ve heard from my adopted father that it takes quite a bit of skill to create.”

摩訶不思議な（まかふしぎな/Maka-fushigi-na）: mysterious beyond comprehension, ineffably mysterious

凹凸（おうとつ/O-totsu）: bumpy and uneven, rough and jagged = 凸凹(でこぼこ/Deko-boko)

I don’t know if they are Kanji or not, but we usually use them just like Kanji. 凹 is read as おう(Ou) or ぼこ(Boko) and it means “dent(ed)”. 凸 is read as とつ(Totsu) or でこ(deko) and it means “bump” or “protrusion”.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫（一見(いっけん)、妃(きさき)を敬(うやま)う侍女(じじょ)のようなたしなめ方(かた)だが、本性(ほんしょう)が端々(はしばし)に現(あらわ)れている。今更(いまさら)な猫(ねこ)かぶりだ）

Maomao (Ikken, kisaki’o uyamau jijo’no-yona tashiname-kata-daga, honsho’ga hashi-bashi-ni arawarete-iru. Ima-sara-na neko-kaburi-da.)

Maomao (At a quick glance, she might sound like a strict but caring lady-in-waiting. But her true nature is seeping out from time to time. It’s too late to pretend now.)

たしなめる(窘める/Tashinameru): chide, rebuke, reprove

It’s completely different from the word “たしなむ（嗜む/Tashinamu）” which means “enjoy” or “have a taste for.”

今更な（いまさらな/Ima-sara-na）: too late now, at this point

猫をかぶる（ねこをかぶる/Neko’o kaburu）: play the hypocrite, put on an act, play coy

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

壬氏「たとえ下賜(かし)されたものであっても、上級妃(じょうきゅうひ)の紋(もん)が付(つ)いたものを、一侍女(いちじじょ)風情(ふぜい)が身(み)に着(つ)けるとは…分不相応(ぶんふそうおう)と思(おも)わなかったのですか？」

Jinshi “Tatoe kashi-sareta-mono’de attemo, jokyu-hi’no mon’ga tsuita mono’o, ichi-jijo-fuzei’ga mi’ni tsukeru-towa… bun-fu-soo-dato omowa-nakatta-no-desu-ka?”

Jinshi “Even if it was a gift, for you, a regular lady-in-waiting, to wear an item engraved with the crest of a high-ranking concubine… Did it not occur to you how deeply inappropriate that would be?”

一侍女風情（いちじじょふぜい/Ichi-jijo-fuzei）が = ただの侍女に過ぎないお前が He is insulting her, “You, just a lady-in-waiting”

分不相応（ぶんふそうおう/Bun-fu-so’o）: beyond one’s means or position ＝ “分・身分（ぶん・みぶん）: position, status” ＋ “不（ふ）: not, no” ＋ “相応な（そうおうな）: appropriate”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫（おぉ。里樹妃が侍女(じじょ)たちからないがしろにされていたことは、壬氏様も知(し)っていただろう。公(おおやけ)にしなかったのは、里樹妃の面子(めんつ)をつぶすことになるからだ。しかし物的証拠(ぶってきしょうこ)があれば、くぎを刺(さ)すことができる）

Maomao (Oo. Rīshu-hi’ga jijo-tachi’kara naigashiro’ni sarete-ita koto’wa, Jinshi-sama’mo shitte-ita-daro. Ooyake’ni shinakatta’nowa, Rīshu-hi’no mentsu’o tsubusu-koto’ni naru-kara-da. Shikashi butteki-shoko’ga areba, kugi’o sasu-koto’ga dekiru.)

Maomao (Master Jinshi must have known that Concubine Lishu’s ladies-in-waiting were mistreating her. He didn’t say as much openly, since it would reflect poorly on Concubine Lishu as well. But now that he has physical evidence, he can make his point freely.)

ないがしろにする（蔑ろにする/Naigashiro’ni suru）: don’t think it important, make light of, despise, slight

公にする（おおやけにする/Ooyake’ni suru）: make public

面子をつぶす（めんつをつぶす/Mentsu’o tsubusu）: cause to lose face 面子（めんつ）: face, honor

くぎを刺す（くぎをさす/Kugi’o sasu）: give a warning to someone

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

高順「毒(どく)をもって毒(どく)を制(せい)してください」

Gaoshun “Doku’o motte doku’o seishite-kudasai.”

Gaoshun “Please fight poison with poison.”

毒を以て毒を制す（どくをもってどくをせいす/Doku’o motte doku’o seisu）: Japanese saying, which means the same as “Fight fire with fire.”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

壬氏「ん…」（大尉(たいい)・漢(カン)羅漢(ラカン)。数年前(すうねんまえ)に実父(じっぷ)と異母弟(いぼてい)から家督(かとく)を奪(うば)い、羅(ラ)の家(いえ)の主(あるじ)となった男(おとこ)は、皇帝(こうてい)すら一目(いちもく)置(お)く存在(そんざい)だ。大尉(たいい)という立場(たちば)でありながら、どこの派閥(はばつ)にも入(はい)らず、のらりくらりと立(た)ち回(まわ)る。多(おお)くの者(もの)が出(で)る杭(くい)として打(う)とうとしても、その誰(だれ)もが、火傷(やけど)程度(ていど)では済(す)まない痛手(いたで)を負(お)わされる。あの男(おとこ)の頭(あたま)の中(なか)は、どうなっているのか分(わ)からない。むやみに関(かか)わるな…という暗黙(あんもく)の了解(りょうかい)が宮廷内(きゅうていない)でできている）

Jinshi “N…” (Taii, Kan Rakan. Su-nen-mae’ni jippu’to ibo-tei’kara katoku’o ubai, Ra’no ie’no aruji-to natta otoko’wa, kotei-sura ichimoku-oku sonzai-da. Taii-to-iu tachiba’de ari-nagara, doko’no habatsu’nimo hairazu, norari-kurari-to tachi-mawaru. Ooku’no mono’ga deru-kui-to-shite uto-to-shitemo, sono daremo’ga, yakedo-teido’dewa suma-nai itade’o owa-sareru. Ano otoko’no atama’no naka’wa, do-natte iru-noka wakara-nai. Muyami’ni kakawaru-na…to-iu anmoku’no ryokai’ga kyutei-nai’de dekite-iru.)

Jinshi (Grand Commandant Kan Lakan. He took over as head of his family through force, from his father and half-brother. He is now someone even the emperor himself respects. Even though he’s a grand commandant, he doesn’t belong to any specific group, wandering between people at will. Many tried to subdue him before he caused trouble, but they all were beat back, with more than a few light burns to pay for it. Nobody knows what goes on in his head. The unspoken rule in the castle is, ‘Don’t interact with him unless necessary.’)

のらりくらりと(Norari-kurari-to): slippery as an eel, skating on thin ice, elusively, non-committally, lazily, vaguely

出る杭は打たれる（でるくいはうたれる/Deru kui’wa utareru）: Japanese saying which means “The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

壬氏「まだ慣(な)れぬだろうが、いずれ適(てき)した仕事(しごと)を割(わ)り振(ふ)る。しばし待(ま)たれよ」

Jinshi “Mada narenu-daro-ga, izure tekishita shigoto’o wari-furu. Shibashi mata-reyo.”

Jinshi “They might need some help still, but we promise we’ll find work more suited to their skills.”

しばし待たれよ(しばしまたれよ/Shibashi matareyo)： (Please) wait for a while.

I’m not sure if “please” should be added or not. This way of saying is usually used when a high-ranking person speaks to someone lower, but it has a bit polite nuance. I don’t know why this sentence was missing in the English subtitles in the video I watched.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Finally, Jinshi called Maomao by her name. Maomao’s words “No matter what, you will always be Master Jinshi to me” seemed to give him confidence, and his warning to the former head lady-in-waiting of the Diamond Pavilion was brilliant. By the way, Concubine Lishu has been in a really pitiful situation. Watching this anime, we can see that even people who are generally in a privileged position also have various sufferings.
