The Devil - The Companion of Witches

[@ArithHärger]

If I had a pub, I would name it "Yer Olde Horny Chap". Since I do not, here's a video about the Devil, the C6mpani6n 6f witches. I do hope you enjoy this sunday video. Stay hot and warm, and don't burn your fingers. Cheers!

Wonderful analysis. I was a devout Christian for over 25 years as I was raised in it. Over the past few years I've fallen away from it and embraced my Germanic pagan roots. Your video has really broken apart some of the belief system I used to subscribe to and it shined light on how much Christianity stole from other belief systems.

[@marcusfridh8489]

the term devil, comes from the Romani gypsie sungod Devel, who was the ruler of everything material. while the moongod Alako ruled all spiritual. the romani gypsie equivalent of the ruler of the underworld was called beng, or bengalo. and my theory is that becourse of devel was the highgod of the gypsies, and they are known as using different kinds of divinations, like tarot, forseeing and so on, the christians interpriated that as witchcraft and sorcery, and also belived them to to necromancy, so they got ostrociced by every sociaty they came to and the devel, became the devil in abrahamitian theology

[@annalisalundberg4561]

This is a good theory...I used to think (another theory, since I'm not a linguistic) that"devil" came from indian "deva" (feminine "devi") meaning god or goddess. Since they could not allow any other god than their own, it was only logical that the other gods would become "evil"...right?

[@marcusfridh8489]

@@annalisalundberg4561 you have to remember that the origine of the romani people is in northern india, and the basic vocabulary of romani i indo-aryan.

[@annalisalundberg4561]

@@marcusfridh8489 Yes, I do remember that. I remembered also that the word devil comes from latin diaboulos, coming out from greek diaballein, cannot write that in greek, meaning to divide, to separate...so probably our theories might have a hint of interest but might not be the most precise...

[@altheatruenorth8898]

Plus all those accusations by the Christians about their children going missing..... across time and cultures, always the same group of people, having the same accusations of children going missing....

[@kimwelch4652]

In Job, the Accuser isn’t so much accusing Job of unfaithfulness, but is instead accusing the God of foolishness. Satan does not uncover evil in the hearts of men; he uncovers evil in the heart of God. He uncovers God’s doubt and jealousy. At the end of Job, because he wisely covers his mouth and does not speak when confronted by the god’s Shadow, it is not Job but God who repents. A god is a representation of the sacred, and to expose a god’s shadow is sacrilege. When Loki accuses Odin of using women’s magic, he is doing more than making jest. He is exposing Odin’s chthonic nature-his shadow side. This may or may not be something derived from Christian sources as Job predates Christianity, and probably Judaism as we know it, by thousands of years. It probably has pagan roots from Babylon and Akkadia with a scribal gloss to monotheism. And, the idea that light gods have a dark side is specifically pagan in viewpoint.

[@sorayatorchic]

I’ve heard some people argue that the idea of “turning the other cheek” was not an act of mercy but an act of defiance. Like “go ahead. Strike me again. You’ll get yours at the end of it all.”

[@margaretwhitmer2715]

Also, how can Satan be a trusted adviser in Job - a later book - when he supposedly was cast down in Genesis - an earlier book. Methinks God's book could have used a good editor to help with story arc. And if Satan no longer obeys God, why should Satan accept anyone into his underworld realm just because God tells him to?

[@graveyardghost2603]

He doesnt. Only the elect, from what I have been led to understand. Everything is misunderstood. You made an excellent point, t.y.

[@Xeper616]

Because ha-satan of Job and Satan of the New Testament are different entities.

[@JohnDoe-pd2lh]

Because "Satan" appears to be a title, meaning accuser or adversary. It was Lucifer that was supposed to have been cast down, and somehow, modern Christians conflate Satan and Lucifer as one and the same.

[@expandingknowledge8269]

While watching your presentation, Two thoughts came into my mind. Addressing fear. In the movie Blade Runner, Roy Batty made a comment to Deckard, which goes like this. "Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave. How true this statement truly is. Also in the Christian Bible we have this. "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to {the prince of the power of the air}, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians. The Christians I have known, in the Churchs I attended, years ago, really emphasize Pauls teachings. The Seventh Day Adventist Churchs I attended years ago, were teaching that Jesus Christ would herald from the Orion Nebula on his way back to earth, to set up his Kingdom on earth, in the 21st chapter of The Book of Revelation, the New Jerusalem. I studied my way out of Adventism, and Christianity eventually, finally realizing what these religious underpinning in the Christian faith was truly about. The dramatic prose attached to these verses in the Christian scripture, truly mark a time of apocalyptic sensationalism. This world we live in really has it's dynamics it would seem.

I think of Satan as Saturn, the planet associated with spiritual inertia. We have personified this opposing force. Inertia not only tests us by resisting our efforts, it also maintains what we have set in motion. The latter is what is commonly called karma.

[@alanschaub147]

Lucifer resonates more with the energy of Uranus, The Great Liberator. This can become unbalanced, too, though.

What a beautiful intro and I’m talking about when you started going off on Christians, not the guitar 😁

[@wolfmauler]

Oh my word, is that Mr. Thorstein on a Warlock? lol...Wait is that an ESP version of it? Probably a nicer one than a B.C Rich! I wrote a piece the other day with a very congruous sentiment. I posted an article about a supposed 1,200 yr old temple being excavated in Norway. Exciting! My christian acquaintance replied; "Their prayers went straight to the Devil"...I was fuming at that empty-headed, nonsensical, but tried and tested derision used by christians, to label everything that preceded ( and indeed continued to flourish outside the urban/"civilized" panorama) their perverted world as "devil worship" and immediately began to write a response...Cheers so much for this video my friend!

[@ArithHärger]

Ah yes, this is an LTD, this is my second (and last) guitar, bought 11 years ago to replace my actual Warlock B.C.Rich which was my first guitar. This one isn't better actually, but back then I needed a replacement asap. I think I understand why that person was quick to say "Their prayers went straight to the Devil". As I've pointed out in the video "Common Misconceptions in Old Norse Religion" for many centuries until quite recently it was believed that the pre-Christan Nordic peoples did not have temples. This idea was actually brought up by the church to reinforce the belief that heathens were uneducated and worshipped in the open, in the "heaths", the wild places of the land away from the "civilized word". So the fact that temples are discovered completely dismisses the Church's idea of heathens being uneducated savages which makes the worshipping of their gods something "official" and as plausible as any other religious conceptions.

[@wolfmauler]

@@ArithHärger That is definitely a twist that probably had my colleague in a greater fit of frustration than I lol...Albeit coming from a much narrower mindset, so perhaps not comparable, but satisfying in an odd way ;)....p.s, I think it's very kind of you to lend your guitar to Mr. Thorstein.

Thank you for sharing, the witches Devil is a particular favorite of mine. I am curious though, when, where and how did Cernunnos and Pan get turned into “Auld Hornie” and such?? Where are the first instances of the devil being recognized as a horned, beastly figure? I feel ignorant citing Cernunnos and Pan as the originators of his horns and hoofs when I have only ever heard “this is where this came from,” without proof.

[@graveyardghost2603]

May I suggest a wonderful book, The Horned God of the Witches, by Jason Mankey.

[@anniesue4456]

when I grew up in Christianity I was taught that Lucifer was God's most beautiful angel .

[@jerrimenard3092]

I would like to recommend you read Paul Huson's Mastering Witchcraft. He has spells and chants involving Herne and Cernunnos. Nothing says lust or war like they do. I first worked with them in the early 90's. I saw an invocation and I admit, I was afraid. That energy is... indescribable. Be open to it though and it will change your life.

I could never reconcile the idea that God, supposedly the omniscient being that created the universe, could create the universe and not know that the devil was going to tempt Eve. Or that this omnipresent God had to enter the garden and look for Adam & Eve. And then there's the idea that this omnipotent being would create us, allow us to be infected by evil he had to have also created, and then blame us and eject us for being weak. It doesn't sound very omni-anything.
