Le Dictionnaire Infernal by J.Collin de Plancy is indeed an interesting dictionary to read. Over 700 pages long too. The 6th edition from 1863, published by Henri Plon, is illustrated with 550 engravings by Louis Le Breton. This adds a lot of flavor to Le Dictionaire infernal. Fair warning: it's written in French.

[@bostonbilly7725]

Very cool tyvm

[@bostonbilly7725]

I tried too ask in esoterica the channel but I don't think they seen it. Have you guys ever heard of a necklace called the eye of the witch... Being out on witches before being burned. I first heard of it from a 80s heavy metal band. That movie drag me too hell tricked me as the lamia was made too look more like a lechies... I think. Or was that a dybbuk. Oh wait they might have spelled it lambia 😅. I like the old books like this. It's amazing how expensive they are too buy etc...

[@TexasHollowEarth]

This very much resembles the Goetia and related 'Keys of Solomon' bestiaries/grimoires. This guy looks to have adapted these into French. It's still being adapted as lots of these demons appear as minor and major characters in 'Castlevania: Symphony of The Night', then other 2D games in the series that followed it. The resemblance of the characters to these demonology book illustrations is uncanny. VERY interesting subject matter, here 👍

[@martinwilliams9866]

It's available in English translation, the ultimate edition is quite beautiful, with whole page illustrations of each demon.

All the demons in Iruma-kun are named after demons from the Ars Goetia (the first book in the Lesser Key of Solomon). The Infernal Dictionary later borrowed most of its demons from the Ars Goetia, along with some other demonic figures from non-Christian mythologies.

[@mrcjc9298]

The demons seem to originate from Canaanite gods that ancient Hebrews vilified and from folk creatures which the early church also vilified.

[@thenew4559]

That is the case for most of them. Some were just entirely made up in earlier works like the Ars Goetia and Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, and a few are just random deities from other religions that De Plancy for some reason interpreted as demonic.

[@benjamindebo9283]

[@svenguinee1072]

Thor, Odin, Loki, Cali, Brahma, Isis and Hécate are indeed mentioned but not always in great detail. For example, the Norse gods only get one line of text as they are already widely known. No mention of Vishnu, Durga and Pluto.

[@js1423]

​@@svenguinee1072Sorry, I mistook some of the deities. Vishnu for Braham: "Brahma, dieu créateur des Indiens. Ils lui reconnaissent neuf fils, qui sont autant de petits Brahmas : Takin, né de l’orteil du dieu ; Poulaguin, de son nombril ; Poulalien, de son oreille ; Pirrougou, de son épaule ; Méraclou, de ses mains ; Chanabadi, de son visage ; Anguira, de son nez ; Narissen, de son esprit, et Atri, de ses yeux." Pluto: "Pluton, roi des enfers, selon les païens, et, selon les démonomanes, archidiable, prince du feu, gouverneur général des pays enflammés, surintendant des travaux forcés du ténébreux empire." I guess I mistook Durga for Kali.
