According to the legend, this art was discovered by the Apostle Paul, but in the book is mentioned as the Pauline Art of King Solomon. The Ars Paulina was already known since the Middle Age. It is divided in two chapters in this book.
The first chapter refers on how to deal with the angels of the several hours of the day (meaning day and night), to their seals, their nature, their servants (called Dukes), the relation of these angels ...

| | | | | Christian demonology: Encyclopedia II - King Solomon - The name Solomon The name Solomon (Shlomo) means "peaceful," or "complete", from the Hebrew Shelomoh (Arabic Sulaiman). The name given by God to Solomon in the Bible is Jedidiah, meaning "loved by God", (2 Samuel 12:25), and some scholars have conjectured that Solomon is a "king name" taken either when he assumed the throne or upon his death.
Solomon's case is one of the few in the Bible where the name given by God does not stay with the character. Solomon's birth is considered a grace from God, after the death o ...

| | | | | Christian demonology: Encyclopedia II - King Solomon - George Rawlinson's evaluation "The kingdom of Solomon," says George Rawlinson, "is one of the most striking facts in Biblical history. A petty nation, which for hundreds of years has with difficulty maintained a separate existence in the midst of warlike tribes, each of which has in turn exercised dominion over it and oppressed it, is suddenly raised by the genius of a soldier-monarch to glory and greatness."
Rawlinson continues, "an empire is established which extends from the Euphrates to the borders of Egypt, a distance of 450 miles; and this empire, rapidly co ...

On March 20th, 1991, the 102nd Congress of the United States passed Public Law 102-14 to designate March 26, 1991, as "Education Day, U.S.A."; in the bill Congress recognized

| | | | | Christian demonology: Encyclopedia II - Asmodai - Asmodai in Judaism In Judaism Asmodai appears in the Book of Tobit and the Talmud.
Note, however, that the Book of Tobit is not part of the established Jewish Canon. In the Book of Tobit, Asmodai falls in love with Sarah, daughter of Raguel, and kills her husband each time she gets married. In this way, he killed seven men on their wedding nights, thus impeding the consummation of the sexual act. After this, Sarah becomes engaged to a young man called Tobias. Tobias is menaced by the demon and receives the aid of the angel Ra ...

| | | | | | Christian demonology: Encyclopedia II - Noahide Laws - Other religions as Noahide From the Jewish perspective, if a non-Jew keeps all of the laws entailed in the categories covered by the Seven Noahide commandments, then he or she is considered a Ger Toshav (sojourning alien) when with a congregation of Israel. In fact, this is considered the ideal level for all humanity by Jewish theology. A Ger Tzedek is a person who prefers to proceed to religious conversion, a procedure that is generally discouraged by all sects of Judaism, and allowed only after much th ...

| | | | | Christian demonology: Encyclopedia II - Satan - Satan in Islam Shaitan (شيطان) is the devil, or the enemy of Allah and is the equivalent of Satan in Christianity and Judaism. The Islamic view of Iblis, has both commonalities and differences with Christian and Jewish views.
While Shaitan (شيطان, from the root šṭn شطن) is an adjective (meaning "astray" or "distant") that can be applied to both Man ("AlIns", الإنس) and Jinn, Iblis is the personal name of the Shaitan who is mentioned in the Quranic account of Genesis, and whose origin is unclear. ...

| | | | | Christian demonology: Encyclopedia II - Noahide Laws - Subdividing the seven laws Various rabbinic sources have different positions on the way the seven laws are to be subdivided in categories. Maimonides (Melakhim 10:6) lists one additional Noahide commandment forbidding the coupling of different kinds of animals and the mixing of trees. Maimonides commentator Radbaz expressed surprise that he left out castration and sorcery which were listed in the Talmud (Sanhedrin 56b). The tenth century Rabbi Saadia Gaon added tithes and levirate marriage. The eleventh century Rav Nissim Gaon included "listening to God's Voice", "kno ...

| | | | | Christian demonology: Encyclopedia II - Satan - In the Hebrew Apocrypha In Wisdom ii. 24 Satan is represented, with reference to Gen. iii., as the father of all lies, who brought death into the world; he is apparently mentioned also in Ecclus. (Sirach) xxi. 27, and the fact that his name does not occur in Daniel is doubtless due merely to chance. Allegedly, Satan was the seducer and the paramour of Eve, and was hurled from heaven together with other angels because of his iniquity (Slavonic Book of Enoch, xxix. 4 et seq.). Since that time he has been called "Satan," although previously he ...

| | | | | Christian demonology: Dante's Awakening: Encyclopedia II - Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening - Allusions in the Devil May Cry series Image:Ladygun.jpg Exactly like the first game in the series, this part has allusions to The Divine Comedy, written by Dante Alighieri. Dante Sparda is the main protagonist of the game, whilst the author Dante is the lead character in his own book. Vergil Sparda is a good example of how Dante in the book is close to the Roman poet Virgil; whereas in the game, he is his evil twin brother. In the book, Virgil was not evil, but his soul guided Dante through Hell, which can be seen as an aesthetic metaphor with the game, where Vergil chooses to l ...

| | | | | Christian demonology: Encyclopedia II - Necromancy - Necromancy in history Necromancy may or may not have a relation to shamanism, which calls upon spirits (angles of the elements and such)or 'The Great Spirit/Creator' (God) to heal or help ghosts reach the afterlife.
The historian Strabo (Strabo, xvi. 2, 39, νεκρομαντία) refers to necromancy as the principal form of divination amongst the people of Persia; and it is believed to also have been widespread amongst the peoples of Chaldea (particularly amongst the Sabians or star-worshippers), Etruria and Babylonia. The Babylonian necromancers themselves were called Manzazuu or Sha'etemmu an ...

| | | | | | Christian demonology: Encyclopedia II - Frank E. Peretti - Theological Criticisms Peretti's fictional portrayal of spiritual warfare reflects in part his background in the Assemblies of God churches and the contemporary focus of Pentecostal writings on the demonic. His concept of territorial spirits reigning over cities is paralleled in non-fiction works in theology and missions by Pentecostal writers such as C. Peter Wagner, Larry Lea, Ed Silvosio and Ed Murphy.
As his novels have been widely sold and read throughout Evangelical, Charismatic and Pentecostal churches, Peretti's fiction has excited the imaginations ...

| | | | | Christian demonology: Encyclopedia II - Lilith - Jewish tradition A Hebrew tradition exists in which an amulet is inscribed with the names of three angels and placed around the neck of newborn boys in order to protect them from the lilin until their circumcision. This practice lends weight to the argument that Lilith had existed in earlier Hebrew mythology and is not the creation of later medieval authors. There is also a Hebrew tradition to wait a while before a boy's hair is cut so as to attempt to trick Lilith into thinking the child is a girl so that the boy's life may be spared.
