The seducing men with cymbals is most likely refering to zills which are tiny finger cymbals used when belly dancing

It's very cool to me, as a Jew, to see people talk about some of the lesser known demons from our mythology. Here's some more info on Agrat bat Mahlat that I wanted to share: "Mahlat" is the name of one of Esau's wives. Rabbi Maharasha thinks that Agrat could be Mahlat's daughter (like you said, "bat" means daughter in Hebrew) [1]. It is said that Mahlat went to the desert, and got pregnant from a demon named Agartiel who lived there. When the daughter was born, Mahlat named her Agrat, after her father the demon Agartiel [2]. However, "Mahlat" (מחלת) could also be derived from one of the Hebrew words for dancing, "Mahol" (מחול). Hence, Agrat bat Mahlat dances [3]. At the nights before Saturday and Wednesday, Agrat bat Mahlat and her 180,000 angles of destruction come out, and if one walks alone he must be cautious of them. Why these two specific nights? The Talmud tells a story about it (it's a short story, so I'll post it verbatim with bits of added context): Once, Agrat, daughter of Mahalat, met Rabbi Hanina ben Dosa (a very famous Rabbi, renowned for his wisdom) and said to him: "Had they not announced about you in the Heavens: 'Be careful of Hanina and his Torah', I would have placed you in danger". He said to her: "If I am considered important in Heaven, I decree upon you that you should never travel through inhabited places". She said to him: "I beg you, leave me a little space". He left for her Shabbat nights and Tuesday nights (Shabbat night = the night before Shabbat, aka Friday night). And furthermore, once, Agrat, daughter of Mahalat met Abaye (another renowned Rabbi) and said to him: "Had they not announced about you in the Heavens: 'Be careful of Nahmani (another name for Abaye) and his Torah', I would have placed you in danger". He said to her: "If I am considered important in Heaven, I decree upon you that you should never pass through inhabited places". If you do happen to see one of Agrat's angles in an inhabited place, it not because they intend to cause people harm, but because they fell off their horses and are running to retrieve them (this is my favourite piece of trivia about Agrat, it's very funny) [4]. It seems that in SMT, they decided to portray her as a witch. In the Talmud, it's said that if you see two women sitting at a crossroads roads, one on each road, while they are facing each other, they are probably engaging in witchcraft. If there are no other roads you can walk and you are alone, you need to say: "אָגְרַת אָזְלַת אָסְיָא בְּלוּסְיָא, מִתְקַטְלָא בְּחֵיק קָבָל" Which means "Agrat, Azlat, Asya, Blusya, are killed by arrows" in Aramaic (Azlat, Asya and Blusya are names of other demons) [5]. Sources, if anyone cares: [1] Rabbi Maharasha's interpretation of Pesachim 112b* [2] Ketem Paz on Zohar 55a* [3] The entry for Agrat bat Mahlat in Otzar Yisrael Encyclopedia by Julius Eisenstein, Volume 1* [4] The Talmud, Pesachim 112b:15 - 113a:2 [5] The Talmud, Pesachim 111a:12 *I put asterisks next to sources that (as far as I'm aware) are only available in Hebrew. Also, about Eisheth Zenunim: the first word of her name can either mean "wife of" or 'woman of" (the word אשת is a construct state of the word אישה, which can mean both "woman" and "wife"). If anyone has any questions, corrections, or something to add, I'd love to hear it! I might edit this comment a lot, since the lore of these demons is quite a rabbit hole, and I'm interested in exploring it.

"Her hair looks like sea snakes" Ah, so that's why Mitra and Forneus were her fusion materials 😂😂

I like how Agrat Bat Mahlat's lore makes it sound like her and Lillith are part of a band on Wednesday and Saturday, and while Agrat Bat Mahlat is a good dancer, her mom is an awful singer. It would explain why their primary field of employment are as "ladies of the night"

I would personally not mind having a different Bethel for each part of Africa, since most parts does not share the same mythology. Just like the Guarani mythology for example, some says that Ñamandu was the creator deity while others says it was Tupã and there are even others who says it was Ñane Ramõi Jusu Papa (Our Grand Eternal Grandfather in free translation) granted it also changes the origin story.

16:19 Spoilers for Vengence side quest So there is a side quest where kikuri Hime asks Tsukuyomi for help and he mentions how Amaterasu Vanished from existence because her Human knowledge was so powerful that when they fused she was absorbed comepletely by the human during this dialogue Tuskuyomi looks at Panagia Tao after he says this implying Tao was Amaterasu's knowledge so technically Panagia Tao Is amaterasu reborn or the Nahobino version of Amaterasu which is why she's Absent in SMTV

On that bit about the true eyes being in the grain --- and do pardon this because I am like Hella intoxicated --- ANYWAYS I like to think that it's because when you layer two demons in photoshop that demons eyes would always fall in the grain of certain demons. :^)
