Beelzebub: A History

Beelzebub is one of the most popular of all "demons" in the Western Occult tradition. He, like many of his infernal colleagues, has roots in the ancient past. Often, his early history is ignored in the western tradition and replaced by information that may portray him in ways that are not justified. Even his very name is misleading, but it is also a clue to his ancient origins. If you read my most recent book, Devils, Demons, and Ghosts In the Hebrew Tradition, I exclude Beelzebub as a demonic name because, technically, in Judaism proper, he is not considered to be a demon, but a Pagan God. There is only one source that portrays him as a demon, and that is in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and even there, it is very sketchy. I will discuss that later. However, in all other literature outside of Judaism, he is very much a demon.In this book, I will cover a lot of ground, and unlike my book, Belial - A History, this book WILL have rituals. The reason for that is because I have worked with Beelzebub and his many aspects. Whereas, I have not worked a lot with Belial. I only write about things that I know and experience. In this book, you will learn: The Name of Beelzebub and its origins.Beelzebub in the Old Testament. Beelzebub in the Dead Sea Scrolls.Beelzebub In the Pseudepigrapha, Apocrypha and Gnostic Texts. Beelzebub In the New Testament and Old Testament Greek Septuagint: In the New Testament, we have reference to Beelzebub using a slightly different name. I will examine this further AND compare the Greek descriptions of Beelzebub in the New Testament and other Greek sources. Beelzebub in the Occult literature.Beelzebub in John Milton's Work. I will also include five powerful rituals/meditations. With that, let us get started, we have about three to four thousand years to cover.
